Dogs

Veteran

1: ROSKELL, Miss C Ch Vormund Jean Paul Gaultier JW, 11-year-old red who is in exceptional condition and belies his age. His balance and type are not to be denied. His head and expression are delightful. To go over he is still as fit as a flea and moves with an elastic gait keeping his outline. BV

2: WATSON, Mr and Mrs C Calicelesti Reaperman, 9-year-old cream, who too is in super condition and is a credit to his owner. Good for size, he appeals in expression. On the move he was not as fluid as the winner, but still a credit

3: CAUDRELIER, Miss K Hikays Back to Black

Puppy

1: DUNHILL-HALL, Miss M Vormund Gives You Wings NAF TAF, 6-month red puppy of exceptional quality. Already all of a piece, his expression looks into your soul. On the table he is superb to go over and on the move, he has this lightness of footfall. His future is assured. BP

2: RITCHIE, Mrs & Miss I Dundalks Draco Malfroy, slightly older puppy and he too scores for type. Another whose head and expression appeals, and he has a super eye shape. On the move today he was a tad erratic on the out and back, which sadly cost him. But he has a future I’m sure

3: MCKINNON, Mrs J Cherkhan Inspired Vision

Junior

1: BRYANS, Miss M MARILOUVALE BILLY ELLIOT, b/t won the class on his reach and drive and ease of stride. Ok in head and his eye shape is good. Balanced in outline and in good condition.

2: MCKINNON, Mrs J Cherkhan Inspired Vision, 3rd in puppy. Liked his head and expression, pleases for type and he is the correct shape. Age told on the move today, but this will come I’m sure

3: FITZAKERLY, Mrs A BEARPARK GALICIA

Post Grad

1: MCKINNON, Mrs J Cherkhan Silk Road, interesting class as all 3 slightly different in type. This red boy won the class on head and expression. He is balanced in outline and is of decent type. On the move he held his outline and has a strong topline. Could possibly just reach a tad more in front, but a typy lad.

2: r BRYANS, Miss M Shiomaru Raion At Marilouvale, red boy who was determined not to cooperate too much with his handler. On the move he has an elastic gait and once he puts his mind to the job in hand, should have some fun. He has a masculine head but lost out in expression to the winner.

3: BOWLER, Mrs J Jakave Holy Knight

Limit

1: ROSKELL, Miss C Ken Go Shun'you Kensha, red boy of obvious quality. Totally balanced and of the correct shape. Pleased for head and has a good expression and eye shape. Uses his ears all the time. Correct h front, strong topline and well-set tail. On the move he has an ease of stride and uses himself to advantage. Decent one who should title.

Open

1: DUNHILL-HALL, Miss M Vormund The Next Episode, red dog who produces a very pleasing outline and scores highly for type. His head and expression are delightful, good to go over and he has a free and easy action on the move . Real class. CC

2: DUNHILL-HALL, Miss M Ch Vormund Sinister, b/t of champion quality and he was extremely close up, textbook head and expression, not much to change on the table, just a little bit erratic going away today. RCC

3: COOPER, Miss J C VORMUND HEATH CLIFF

Bitches

Veteran

1: JONES, Miss K A & CRAIG, Mrs C Almolka Titchy Strider, good for size and type, pleased for expression. Good to go over and in excellent condition. Moved out well for her age.

2: RUSHFIRTH, Mrs I Ch Copperdots Aki Kaze Hime at Hikay's, very pleasing for expression, she also pleases very much for type, just felt she was a little heavy over her front today and that this affected her front movement slightly. In super coat though and very well handled.

Puppy

1: DUNHILL-HALL, Miss M Vormund Taste The Rainbow NAF TAF, 6. Month old red who is already all of a piece, delightful expression and eye shape, she is super to go over on the table, firm topline and excels in type. On the move she could show some of the older ones how to do it. Presented beautifully as were all from this Kennel.

2: BEHAN, Mrs D TIBLHA SHE'RA QUEEN OF SHIBA, 9-month-old red slightly different in type, longer in the leg and at a slightly different stage of development. Once settled she moved ok, delightful temperament which should be cherished.

Post Grad

1: MCKINNON, Mrs J Cherkhan Echo Falls JW, red bitch who won the class on expression and balance. She is in good condition and on the move, she had the easiest of strides.

2: MOTHERSDALE, Mr & Mrs M XPRESS YOURSELF INCIPITA VITA WITH AMIVIKE (CZE IMP), red bitch slightly out of coat, but produces a typical outline. Moved on the right track, just lacked finish

3: BRYANS, Miss M Marilouvales Flashdance

Limit

1: MOTHERSDALE, Mr & Mrs M AMIVIKE'S I AM RAVEN, white bitch with red tinges, who scores highly for type and produces a very balanced outline stacked. Pleased for head properties, she has a decent front and level topline. Well set tail. On the move has an elastic free gait. RCC

Open

2: BRYANS, Miss M Marilouvale's Mercedes, red bitch with a super head and expression. Well handled and presented, she is typical in outline and moves on the right track. Very pretty and a decent one.
