OD (4) 1st Cooper & Critchlow’s Pavoskas Aly Arttu. Have seen this dog many times from ringside and I don’t think I have seen him look better than he did today.

Deep chest. Good topline, muscular loins and well angled rear. Typical mover with a medium stride and driving well from the rear. In excellent double coat, good texture, colour and presentation. Sire of the pups here today so good to see him passing on his virtues. Pleased to award him BD.

2nd Jackson’s Ch. Lecibsin Ukas To Elbereth. Great favourite of mine. Judged him before and he always gives everything for his handler. He could win on his head and ‘teddy bear’ expression alone. Smaller than 1st but well balanced and catches the eye both on the stack and on the move. Good conformation, body and coat. Excellent tail set and carriage. Good movement from profile but not as settled moving away today. A very worthy Ch that will no doubt make his presence felt in the breed for many years to come. RBD. Excellent handling and presentation.
