1st – Cole’s Xandene Black Magic in Myntie: dark brindle dog good bone and balance throughout; large strong square head without any excess but excellent padding and width to muzzle; satisfying large nose and wide nostrils; lovely dark pigmentation throughout including dark expressive eyes; well-place open ears of good neat size giving this dog an excellent expression; decent neck leading into well-laid shoulders and short back with a moderate roach and tail present; tight tidy feet finished with super dark nails; although young and still immature in rib, he had strong bone with good angulation fore and aft and moved well coming and adequately going. Delighted to award him RBoB, BP and see him achieve PG4

2nd – Warren & Jobson’s Warson Stan Butler; double-hooded brindle pied; less developed in head qualities than my winner today, but nevertheless an attractive balanced and compact outline with a short back and strong bone; wide straight front; nice spring of rib and shapely tuck-up; tidy feet; movement adequate both ways.
