Pleasing eye shape. Reachy neck and excellent angles. Good sweep over croup and a low set tail. Excellent showman. Still totally sound on the move and true in all directions.

2nd Keltihope In The Frame At Yasleyrose. Attractive shaded sable. Similar to 1st for size. Pleasing head, dark, almond eye. Excellent ear set and carriage.

Excellent ears, used to advantage. Good neck. Moderate angles. Excellent body and short, strong loin. Moved very freely. Good colour and markings. Looked a cracking pair when challenging the bitch pup for BP.

Well placed, dark, almond eye. Good reach of neck. Nicely angled front and back. Excellent tail set and carriage. Moved well once settled.

2nd Frecia Lock Down Wonder At Santiara. Up to size pup, masculine outlook but not overdone. Pleasing enough in head and expression. Uses his ears to best advantage. Very well made and good colour. Sound and true mover, but can settle a touch coming towards.

YD (2) 1st Hamblerose Black Diamond. Good looking tri. Typical head shape, flat skull with a well placed stop. Liked his moulded muzzle with good underjaw. Ears well set. Excellent reach of neck leading to a well laid shoulder and return of upperarm. Can still develop further in depth of chest but time is on his side. Pleasing enough proportions. Moved well.

3rd Shadoway Chance Encounter.

PGD (1) 1st Mitchfields Dizzee Rascal At Stanydale. Standing alone but a promising youngster. Still to mature fully but I appreciated his workmanlike outlook. Lovely head piece. Uses his ears at all times to enhance his expression. Good conformation and in lovely coat, colour (probably one of the best silvery blues here) and in hard, muscular condition. Moved out well with a low carried tail.

Well set, tipped ears. Enough reach of neck. Good layback of shoulder . Deep chest. Shapely outline. Mature body. Well angled rear leading to the soundest of hocks. Excellent tail set and carriage.

2nd Lorainian Kings Ransom At Lindfern. Super headed dog. Typical eye shape, colour and expression. Excellent ear carriage. Good to go over on the table. Mature in body and in lovely coat.

3rd Jacanshe Br Our Guest At Santiara.

Well laid shoulder and upperarm which was of good length. Strong body and firm topline. Excellent quarters. Moved with plenty of reach and drive. Low set tail.

Made a worthy CC winner.

2nd Ch. Lindfern Light Sabre. Another worthy Ch. Slightly larger overall than 1st. Appeals greatly in head, eye and sweetest of expression. Deep, roomy chest. Moderate angles front and back. Mature and looks the part on the stack. Moved well enough, just not as free-flowing as those above him today. Good coat.

3rd Lavika Lush Life.

SBD/B (3) 1st Valdosta Dare To Dream Of Savendie. Beautifully coloured and marked b/m bitch. Ideal size and proportions. Feminine, shapely head. Excellent eye shape and high set, tipped ears. Good angulation. Firm topline and good body. Excellent sweep over croup. Sound mover and confident showgirl. Well presented, double coat. Topped the Pastoral Sp. Beginners Group…congratulations!

2nd Frecia Golden Times. Slightly larger sable bitch but still feminine in outlook. Not quite as pleasing in head properties being a touch deep in stop. Good to go over on the table and, once she settled, moved out well with good tail carriage.

VB (3) 1st Kelgrove Kinda Magic At Hamblerose. 8 year old tri. Very feminine for size and outlook. Pleasing enough in head and eye and she uses her ears well.

2nd Shadoway Perchance To Dream. Super sable bitch in great condition at 10 years. Credit to her owner. Beautiful head and sweetest expression. Excellent tipped ears. Well made all through. Moved ok, just not with the fluidity of 1st.

MPB (2) 1st Fernfarm Summer Romance. Pretty 8 month old sable. Daughter of Dog CC winner today and shares his lovely head type. Still very much a baby but shows promise and gave a good account of herself. Lovely outline with good body and coat for her age. Happy, confident mover.

PB (5) Good class of quality youngsters.

1st Lavika Lucid Dreams. Res CC and BPIB.

2nd Lizmark Lullaby Moon Over Mohnesse. Hardest decision of the day splitting these 2 beautiful blue babies. Both show so much potential and will no doubt change places many times during their careers. Excellent heads, good eye shapes and both using their ears to best advantage. Both are very well made with sound conformation, feminine and of excellent breed type. They are a very nice colour with well broken markings and in good coat for their age. Both showed their socks off for their handlers, moving out well. On the day, Lullaby Moon scored on coat and maturity but just preferred Lucid Dreams front action on the move, but a tough call. Good luck with them, I am sure they will both carry their titles in the future.

3rd Dukeson Laced With Magic.

JB (4) 1st Molson Miss Congeniality For Stormraven. Very mature sable approaching a year old. Typical outline with excellent height to length proportions. Super head piece. Excellent ear set and carriage. Plenty of neck. Good front and rear angles. Firm topline. Lovely sweep over croup. In excellent coat and condition. Moved very well from all directions. Another youngster with a promising future. Good for the breed to have such quality coming up.

2nd D. Laced With M. Pretty 11 month old sable. No disgrace to stand behind those above her today. Excellent breed type. Lovely size and femininity. Nice head, dark eye of good shape. Good conformation but can firm up a bit in topline and on the move. Good coat.

3rd Blenmerrow Ring Of Roses.

NB (5) 1st L. Lullaby Moon Over M.

2nd D. Laced With M.

GB (9) 1st Mitchfields Cover Girl At Felthorn. Liked this tri for her overall size and functional. So well balanced all through. Good wedge shaped head. Nice eye and well set-on ears. Medium neck. Well laid shoulder and return of upperarm. Firm topline. Short loin. Well angled behind and stands on tight, oval feet. Moved true, covering the ground well. Litter sister to CC winner so the type obviously appealed.

2nd Tighness The Tide Is High. Eye-catching and impressive outline on the stack. Beautifully coloured sable. Good head and eye giving the sweetest expression. Excels in reach and arch of neck. Firm, level topline. Good front and rear. Excellent coat and condition. Moved with style, sound and covers the ground well from side gait.

3rd Shadoway Charlotte Rose.

Just preferred the tail set of 1st. Moved very well in all directions. Excellent coat for quality, colour and presentation.

3rd Keltihope Wispa’s Girl At Petara.

LB (12) Strong class.

1st Mitchfields Fashion Girl at Felthorn. Absolutely loved this b/m bitch. At 3 years she is just coming to full maturity and looked the part today. Excellent wedge head, flat skull, good muzzle and underjaw and almond eye shape, taken as a whole, gives off a typical outlook. Reachy neck. Good lay of shoulder with good length and lay of upper arm. Deep chest. Good body and firm topline. Muscular hindquarters. Quality bone and tight, functional feet. An overall workmanlike appearance but still has refinement with a touch of elegance. Just right for coat, fitted her body well and of a good colour and markings. Showed plenty of reach and drive on the move with a low carried tail. For me, she was the complete package and was pleased to award her the CC & BOB, her 2nd, best of luck for her title.

2nd Lavika Spring Queen. Lovely tri. Slightly rangier in outline than 1s. Pretty head with a good eye and expression. Well used, tipped ears. Good reach and arch of neck and a well angled front. Firm, muscular body. Strong quarters. Good bone and feet. In lovely coat and condition. Moved with plenty of freedom, covering the ground with ease and securing her place in this good class.

3rd Esterbon Three Kisses For Tighness.

OB (5) 1st Lavika Black Beauty. Another excellent bitch from this kennel. Good head shape, flat skull, correctly placed, moderate stop. Well proportioned all through. Would prefer a better eye shape which would sweeten her expression. Excellent conformation and movement. In lovely coat and condition. Well handled to bring out her best. Deserves to carry her title.

2nd Mohnesse Millybelle. Liked this bitch in the past and still rate her highly. Pretty sable of super breed type, size and femininity. Copybook head, eye and expression. Uses her ears to best advantage. So good to go over on the table. Moved very well in all directions, driving off the soundest of hocks, just preferred the reach of 1st. Excellent coat and presentation. Attentive to handler. Pushed all the way for the class.

3rd Shelridge Shantilly Lace At Lianbray. Completed a trio of good bitches.
