POST GRADUATE – DOG (2 entered,0 absent)

1st Whitehead’s Gladsheim Helio. 4ys old and what a super boy. Loved his breed type, not too big and well balanced. Very nice head with a happy expression and lovely ears. Well put together both fore and aft. Super mover with correct ‘springy’ action and correct tail carriage. Good coat and well feathered tail. A very well deserved RBD.

2nd Davies’ Millhanger Kemboy. Another 4yr old but today he had some post lockdown reservations in this class. Good size and shape with gorgeous head and ears. Super front assembly and well angled rear, moved well with correct action and good tail carriage.

LIMIT – DOG (2,0)

1st Suiter & Cargill Genetika Rumpelstiltskin. 4yrs and a little distracted on the stand. Good size and shape with pleasing head & eyes and good ears. Well made fore and aft with level topline. Good coat with lovely ear fringes and well feathered tail. Moved out well with good drive and correct action.

2nd Guy’s Gladsheim Eleodoro. Another 4yr old. Smaller in frame and in head, ‘happy’ expression and lovely ears. Well put together forequarters, level topline to a well angled rear. Moved with correct action. Did tend to keep his head rather low on the stand and on the move which spoilt his outline.

OPEN – DOG (2,1)

1st Suiter & Cargill’s Chriskoois Octavius at Genetika. One I have done well in the past and now he is a fully mature 6yr old and looking a picture today. Super head and ears. Well made forequarters, level topline to a well set and carried tail and a well made rear. Lovely mover with correct action and good drive, true coming and going. Carrying a good coat all over and a well feathered tail. Oozes presence and confidence. BD & BOB

SPECIAL BEGINNERS – DOG (2,0)

1st Davies’ Millhanger Kemboy. Much less distracted in this class with his breed type ultimately winning through. BSB and pleased to hear they won Special Beginners Group 3. Well done, a great result.

2nd Guy’s Gladsheim Eleodoro

VETERAN – DOG or BITCH (2,1)

1st Suiter & Cargill’s Cirtaps Hertogin Freya Van Qira-T at Genetika (Imp Swe). 9yr old, full of breed type. Another with some post lockdown reservations to start with but her maturity saw her through. Lovely head and ears & so well put together front and rear. Level topline and still moves like a youngster with correct action and good drive and although correct I would like her tail a little higher. RBB & BV

POST GRADUATE – BITCH (3,0)

1st Johnson ‘s Valleyrise Illustration. 2yrs old and what a super young B & full of breed type. Lovely head and expression, super ears. Well laid shoulders, level topline & lovely rear angles. Moves with purpose and good action although her hander can tend to move her slightly too fast breaking her gait. That said, when it all comes together she is a joy to watch and in the challenges she pulled it together to win BB & BOS

2nd Mar-Gerrison ‘s Gladsheim Willow at Valkira. A little taller than 1 but of good shape and well balanced. Well made fore and aft with a level topline. Very feminine head with a lovely expression and good ears. Moved with ease with a lovely tail carriage.

3rd Macleod’s Valleyrise Intrepid

1st Johnson’s Valleyrise Illustration

2nd Suiter & Cargill’s Genetika Wake Up Aurora. 4yrs Feminine B of correct shape & outline. Sweet head and expression with lovely ears. Well put together. In full coat with lovely tail feathering. Moved well but a little close behind today.

OPEN – BITCH (2,0)

1st Johnson’s Sensation Vom Tespelkooi of Valleyrise (Imp Deu) Another 4yr old I have done well in the past but today she was carrying a little excess of lockdown indulgencies. Lovely head and expression, would like more fringing on her ears. Well made fore and aft and still moves well with correct tail carriage.

2nd Macleod’s Valleyrise Intrepid. 3yr B. I liked her shape and she is well put together. A little short in muzzle and deep in stop, good ears and well feathered tail. Moved well with good tail carriage.
