Samoyed 

G (1) 1. Argyle’s Elygra Ice Precious Moment. 10 month b in excellent coat and of good breed type. Pleasing head properties with kind dark eye, excellent bone and substance, and super temperament but needs time to settle on the move and tighten up at the rear.

Treasure’s Infindigo Riemu Emmi ShCM. 7yr b in good condition with ample bone and substance, good spring of rib and depth of brisket. Well balanced head with erect ears though expression spoiled by too full an eye. Good reach of movement but a tad close behind.  

Australian Shepherd Dog 

SY (1) 1. Lee’s Villanyna Wizards Apprentice For Amenbury (imp Sp). Upstanding and happy 18mth tri d with natural bob tail of good proportions. He was blessed with very dark tan points which sadly, combined with a narrow blaze, tended to harden his overall expression. His head handled well with broad skull and well filled foreface. Ample angulation fore and aft and good bone, substance and depth of chest. Showed well and moved freely keeping topline level. 

PG (2,1) 1. Lee’s Amberslade Morse Code For Amenbury. 3yr old b/m d well up to size and with a full length tail which he carried well. Harsh coat of correct weatherproof texture but colour should be clearer. Head of good proportions though eye a little full, so detracting from overall expression. Good depth of chest, short loin and fair angulation. Moved quite well though would prefer more drive.

She moved freely, with plenty of drive. Pleased to award her BOB on movement and overall breed type. 2. Lee’s Louis Blanchett At Amenbury. 6yr old b/m d of very different type to winner.
