YB (1, 0) 1st: BLAND’s Peregos Bordeaux Beauty At Kiandra, just off square in outline, with correct angulation front & rear. Still needs to develop in chest but that should come with age. Correct skull proportions just longer than wide with shorter muzzle good eye and correct set ears which were well furnished. Little lacking in undercoat on the day – but typical for age. Moved ok but could benefit from bit more strength behind, BB.

LB (2, 1) 1st: CAUDRELIER’s Winarose Sound of Music, rather immature, smaller in frame than others in line up and would prefer to see her with more body condition. Pleasing proportions in outline, but hind angulation not as defined as front. Needs little more ring confidence to show off her best. Moved ok in profile but would prefer more drive behind.

OB (2, 0) 1st: BLAND’s Kiandra Little Maggie, a little rangier in proportions, firm topline to well carried tail with pleasing sweep. Good angles front and rear. Attractive head. good eye and well pigmented. Well furnished ears. Sound mover.

2nd THOMAS & OSBOURNE’s Ir Ch Tisalmyn Miss Moneypenny By Starwell, well coated bitch with pleasing head of good proportions for skull and muzzle, dark eye and high set ear. Would prefer shade more definition to front angulation for balance. Carrying a bit too much weight which had impact on her movement behind.

VB (1, 0) 1st HANSFORD & DONNELLY’s Alvegi Borzas Dona At Peregos. Being picky she is a shade square in outline, but on balance has good breed type. Hind angulation is good , and has short loin, and firm back. Tail is set low with natural upward curl. Feminine in head with shorter muzzle and dark round eye. Moved OK, RBB.
