Junior

1st Kingwanas Viva Las Vegas of Jenbasi (imp Nor)

I liked this bitch, 15 months old and developing in the right direction. She is very elegant, I found her head feminine with a good overall shape, enhanced by a good eye shape and colour. Ears well set on and of good texture. She has a super front on her, stands on well boned legs and neat feet. Shoulder well laid back, level topline. Short through the body as she should be, ribs starting to spring and loin firm. Quarters developing nicely for her age. Tail well set on with a good curl. She came alive on the move with a super swinging gait. Very promising, delighted to award her Reserve Best of Breed.

Postgraduate

1st Kingwanas Vincent Van Boof of Jenbasi (imp Nor)

Litter bother to the winner of the junior class and many similar comments apply just Van Boof is a little behind his sister in terms of maturity. Head developing nicely with good well set ears, eyes of good colour. Strong through the neck, would like him a little tidier in front. Ribs well spring, just a shade longer in loin that what I was looking for. Decent quarters on him with hocks well let down. Needed to settle on the move today to complete the picture.

Limit

1st Wazin Bri Master of JenBasi (imp Swe)

A brindle dog with good overall proportions, head of good overall shape just a tad cheeky and would like a better eye shape. Ears well set. Good neck in to shoulder and front well made. Body of good proportion with ribs well spring and a firm loin. Quarters have a good shape would just like a little more bend of stifle to complete the picture, tail had a good curl. Decent profile action on him, plenty of reach and drive, just a shade untidy as he went away today.

2nd Tokaji Klassic Trickster at Sarawana

I like this chaps overall shape and style he just wasn’t as fluid on the move as he needed to be which cost him the class. Preferred his overall shape, head well made with good ears. Neck in to shoulders good with a decent front assembly. Body of good proportions and a good rear end on him. Really nice type of dog, pity he was unsound behind.

Open

1st Tokaji Klassic Trinity

This bitch excels in outline and overall shape, has all the attributes I was looking for and was delighted to have her in the entry. Her head is elegant, good shape and overall proportions. Strong neck in to well set shoulders which were well laid back. Stands on straight legs and compact feet. Good depth in brisket, ribs well sprung and firm in loin. Topline level and held throughout. Super quarters on her which she used to advantage on the move, just flowed round the ring with that swinging stride. Please to give her the class and subsequently Best of Breed, top drawer in my opinion.

2nd Woodella Vamos

Tri male who had a good outline on him, he was a nice dog to go over. Pleasing headpiece with well-set ears. Neck in to shoulder clean and stands on well boned legs and good feet. Ribs well sprung, a shade long in loin, just a tad soft in topline. Quarters well made with a decent bend to stifles. Tail set on well and a good shelf. Would like a shade more front extension and didn’t have the action of the winner on the move in the final run round.
