Post Graduate (3) 

1. Sewell’s Kerriglow Dream Again For Quattrozampe - Solid black in super coat and condition and very well presented and handled. Good bone, balanced body proportion with well ribbed back with short strong loin, muscular rear quarters and well let down hocks. Moved well holding his topline.  

2. Harris-Bray’s Helenwood Illusion JW – one I have judged before, mature well constructed bitch, beautiful feminine head, compact, squarely built with good spring of ribs, deep brisket, shown in excellent coat and condition, just lacked the balance of the first on the move today.

Burley’s Cassom Canaletto at Barnsbur - Blue Roan dog, classic well proportioned head and gentle expression, clean neck, sloping shoulders and well balanced front and rear, well ribbed back and short strong loin, presenting a balanced picture both stacked and on the move and in superb coat and condition. On the move he covered the ground effortlessly with such a merry action  and an ever active tail. BOB and pleased to see him go GP3. 

2. Aykroyd’s Clydesian Desperado – black dog slightly larger frame than first and not the overall balance, masculine head, good length of neck into sloping shoulders, deep brisket, good bend of stifle. Moved ok.

Junior Handling 

6-11 years old 

1. Paige Hughes. Paige was in control of her dog at all times and ensured that I was able to view the dog at all times. Her lines were true and correct ensuring her dog was shown off to its best at all times. My instructions were followed to the letter and at no point did I feel she stopped showing off her dog to the best of her ability. Sure to have a bright future. 

2. Charlotte Robershaw. Charlotte is another young handler with a bright future. In deciding the placings today I was literally splitting hairs such was the quality of the handling. Again, she had control of her dog at all times listened to the instructions given but unfortunately had one lapse in concentration which, in the end, cost her first place.
