Lovely style and balance, quite mature for age, good head with lovely eye and expression, good ear set, good head proportions, correct neck, nice angles front and rear, needs to tighten in front which will come with age, lovely body, very mature coat for age, moved well. BPD.

JUNIOR DOG (4,1)

1st Bliss’s CHARNEY TAMOTSU – 16-month-old male who caught my eye as soon as he came in the ring, so well balanced, enough size and bone to still be masculine, very typical head with excellent eye and expression, well defined stop, good muzzle, small ears correctly set, strong, arched neck, going into a correctly placed shoulder, parallel front and rear, tight feet, correct length of body, broad chest, well sprung rubs, short loin, rear angulation to complement the front, straight topline with good tailset, well plumed tail with balanced head, in good coat and moved well. Very stylish male who, for me, complimented the breed standard and was awarded BD and BIS, must be one for the future.

2nd Aston, Bradley and Bowen’s GLAMGLOWS GIFTED ONE. 12-month-old so again giving a lot away as very immature compared to 1st. Nicely balanced, touch plainer in head, but as head matures it should change, good neck and shoulders, nice front and rear, just needs to drop a bit which will help him firm up. Good topline / tailset, another nice youngster.

JHA (A) CLASS 6-11 YEARS

9-year-old Ryan Hook showed in this class. Very sympathetic handler to his dog, always watching and talking to his dog. Just needs to be aware the Judge is standing.

JHA (B) CLASS 12-16 YEARS

Grace Morris 13 years old showed in this class. Unfortunately, her dog decided it was not going to cooperate and would not do anything. In fairness, I don’t think an experienced handler would have got much more out of it.

Judge – Ms Marion Sargent (Tegwani)
