Veteran (1/0)

1st Stvincent Golden Gun From Swansreach ShCM - BVD

Sound moving 8 year old with typical head and expression, good length of neck into well placed shoulders, firm topline which he held on the move, short coupled, adequate rear angulation, we both just preferred the veteran bitches movement for BVIS.

Minor Puppy (4/2a)

1st Catnnels Greatest Dancer

Promising youngster with lovely head and dark eye, good front and shoulders, level topline, well angulated quarters, moved out steady and true.

2nd Lanercoste Sorrell

Very similar to one in type and construction but just preferred the more typical head and truer movement of one, close decision.

Puppy (5/0a)

1st Balsamina Beachcomber At Darthill - BDP

Lovely type showing excellent promise, has typical well proportioned head with the most gentle expression, well angulated at front and rear, level topline with correct tail set, short in loin, moved well to take this class but later was out moved by the bitch for BPIS due to his very busy day.

2nd Warrentor Bold As Brass

Well constructed with all the essentials, slightly stronger head than one but not overdone, has good overall balance but not the movement of one.

3rd Rendez Vous Avec Stovall Du Bois De La Rayere (Imp FRA)

Junior (9/1a)

Good class with some quality youngsters.

1st Kulawand Skywalker

Quality young boy with excellent chiselled head and soft expression, straightest of fronts, clean lengthy neck into well laid shoulders, well ribbed, short coupled, well turned stifles, strong quarters producing driving movement, considered for RCC.

2nd Quakerhall Master Mariner At Bluewaters

Another quality youngster with very similar construction remarks as one, he has a slightly stronger head but without any sign of coarseness, a great level topline and tail set, but just needs to tighten in front to complete the the picture but I’m sure that will come, looked good on the move.

Was vhc in the strong Junior class and reserve in novice, lovely type with a lovely masculine head and gentle expression, excellent in neck and shoulder placement, level topline, well ribbed, good turn of stifle, but needs to strengthen in the rear which would help to improve his rear movement.

Close to one, but just preferred the more positive movement of one on the day, this boy also had a lovely head and eye, was well angulated with a firm level topline, just a shade longer in loin than one, looked good in excellent coat and condition.

3rd Tonara Picaso

Post Graduate (4/0a)

Little to separate 1 & 2 just preferred the overall balance and tail set of one

1st Hosarvar Ninito

Compact male with balanced head and gentle expression, muscular in neck, level topline into correct tail set, short coupled, good turn of stifle, well off for bone, lovely round feet, moved out true but just lacked the drive.

2nd Look For A Star At Gillbryan

To me this boy was so alike to one in size and type so my above remarks apply, but I did just prefer the topline and tail set of one, this boy also moved out sound and true but again just lacked the drive.
