1ST – BRECKAMORE BUTTERFINGERS ShCm

Beautiful headed lady, correct planes/proportions and good mouth. Best of expressions, enhanced with well set and carried ear. Good length of neck into lovely shoulder construction, propped up on a decent width of front and appropriate bone. Nice body and a very well made rear. She moves extremely well when viewed from any angle, and I’m confident she could do this all day without faulter. Stands herself squarely without assistance. She impressed me the moment she walked into the ring, did not disappoint, and still captivated me in the group. BOB - Group 1

GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG 1 (0)

1ST – TOILERS SORREL (ATC AU03339607)

Strong neck into a good shoulder assembly, excellent front and feet, correct topline leading down to a well constructed rear. Well muscled all through and sound from all angles. She could have been moved out at a faster pace to her advantage, but nonetheless sound. BOB

Very appealing baby girl of 7 months, lovely head properties, dark eye of good shape, net ears set on well. Strong neck into a nice shoulder, propped up on a good front of nice bone and good feet.

1st – ROSSKAJA CORNELIA MARIE

Not quite the appeal in head and expression or pigment as the junior. Strong neck and back, good rear. Another who shows herself off really well

WELSH CORGI (PEMBROKE)

GRADUATE 2 (1)

1ST – ERMYN RAZZLE DAZZLE

Handsome tri baby with good head proportions and foxy expression. Strong neck and level topline. A shade wider in front than ideal, but nothing to be concerned about at this early stage of maturity. Good bone and feet, moved very well from all viewing angles and presenting a nice balance of outline. He seemed to step it up a notch each time he came into the ring and showed even better when he came back into the puppy group. BOB – BP – PG2

WELSH CORGI (CARDIGAN)

OPEN 2 (0)

1ST – WATERDEEP RANGER ONE JW

Strong masculine head of correct proportions on this sturdy brindle lad. Dark eye, correctly set on ears which he used to great advantage. Strong neck of good length into a decent shoulder propped up on good bone and correct feet. A level topline leads to muscular rear quarters. He moves incredibly well coming, going and in profile, with excellent drive. A quality dog who showed really well BOB

2ND – CH BWTHYN HEADLINER JW ShCM

Another top quality brindle lad, I have judged him previously and love his type and soundness, but was very disappointed to find him not the least bit interested in wanting to show today, he is a quality dog all through, sadly would not use his ears at all, no amount of bait, noise or motion would tempt him. He moves incredibly well, his head is well proportioned and he has a beautiful balance of outline, it just wasn’t his day today.

8 month baby who is all male and well grown. Correct mouth, dark eye of good shape and set, thick well furred ears of correct size, set and carriage, his expression is beautiful. Strong arched neck into a good shoulder assembly, correct for width all through, propped up on excellent bone and good feet. Correct slope to topline, leading back to a strong rear which is angulated just right giving him excellent drive, correctly set and carried tail, in glorious jacket with a superb balance of outline both standing and moving. His name is most appropriate. BOB-BP-G3 in an exceptionally strong line up and PG winner. He surely has a bright future ahead of him.

Another with a lovely headpiece, correct in mouth, eye and ear. Strong neck into a fair shoulder. Good bone, correct slope of topline leading to a nicely angled rear. Correct tailset and carriage. Moved well behind but not quite the reach in front. Beautiful type, well handled and presented.

BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG

OPEN 2 (1)

1ST – KERNOW TROUFASHION AT FULVIA

Well grown girl, just out of puppy. Well marked, correct mouth, good front and feet. Correct topline and rear angles. She moved soundly in bursts but OMG she gave her poor handler a heck of a workout, and she gave the ringside an uplift in humour. She has lovely type and is well worth the effort it takes to harness her energy with lots and lots of training. Kudos to her handler for her enormous patience today lol.

1ST – AVA VON DER ALTEN FESTUNG AT VICKANGELS (IMP HRV) JW

What a lovely headpiece this lass has, I would happily take her home and look at her face all day long. Correct bite and dentition, head proportions are correct, dark eye of good shape and set, broad, dry skull and neat ears. Strong but feminine with an expression that gives me goosebumps. A strong arched neck into excellent shoulders, correct width of front, standing on solid bone and good feet which gave her excellent reach in front. A strong topline which she held on the move leading back to a well angulated rear assembly giving her tremendous drive. I would prefer a shade less length of loin, but this did not affect her adversely on the move as the coupling is very strong. Shown in rock hard condition and placing her feet correctly at every stopping point. So very much to like about her, I truly wish she was mine. BOB and G1

3 year old Bl/Tan male, who is all male and well grown. Masculine headpiece of good proportions. Correct mouth, dark expressive eyes that simply captivate. Large skull with defined occiput and ears set on correctly and laying close to his head. Strongly arched neck into a well laid shoulder assembly, propped up on excellent bone and the tightest of strong feet. Deep chest of moderate width, a strong level topline to a slightly sloping croup. His rear is incredibly powerful and very well muscled, moderately angled with strong well let down hocks. His tail is set on high and carried loose over the back down his flank and well feathered, crowning his lovely balance of outline both standing and in motion. He moves very well from any angle, unrestricted, agile and powerful. He is a credit to his owner/handler, a truly noble and dignified dog. BOB and G2

2ND – ALOUSTAIRS RUBY RED FOR SHAALI

Red/w quality lady with a lovely head, neck and angulation all through. Really liked her but she did herself no favours today as she was reluctant to use her tail, she moved so soundly in all directions.
