Puppy (10, 2a)

1st JONES’ Braemist Witches Fire

A quality, medium size bitch of 10 months, full of substance and balanced throughout. I loved her typical one piece head set on a good reach of neck. She held her profile on the move which she did with reach and drive, straight and sound. Her straight, driving movement and classic head-shape made her stand out today. I look forward to watching her in the future.

2nd DEACON’s Harlistream Rainy Day

Despite this puppy’s immaturity, she sure has it all there in proportion presenting a great picture. Another one piece head set on an excellent reach of neck which flowed into correct front angulation. She has a solid level top-line which was held on the move and she used her hindquarters to move accurately with drive. I’ll be watching her in the future with interest.

3rd SIMONS’ Coedylan Bambino Caro 

Graduate (3)

1st SLADE’s Hightyne Fly Me To The Moon

A 2.5 year old dog with no exaggeration. Classic, masculine, one piece head with dark eyes. A balanced dog with substance. He uses his correctly angulated fore and hindquarters to advantage. Strong top-line which helped him hold his workmanlike profile on the move which he did freely. Standing on round, strong feet. I’d like to see him moved on longer, faster strides. 

2nd BELLAMY’s Moontorn Goddess Of Love

A 4 year old bitch with plenty of substance. She has a feminine one piece head with great reach of neck. Solid top-line which was held well on the move. Excellent hindquarter angulation but I’d prefer a little less in the forequarters for complete balance. Moved freely around the ring with style on round feet.

3rd DEACON’s Harlistream Hendrick’s

Open (7, 2a)

1st JACOBS’ Gemswin Dressed For Success

A lovely medium sized bitch of 2 years full of substance who caught my eye when first moving around the ring. I liked her typical head and expression. She held her balanced outline well throughout the class with the most solid top-line flowing into the correct tail set with a tail that never stopped wagging in true Flat Coat fashion. Moved with reach, drive and accuracy.

2nd BELLAMY & BELLAMY’s Bochilbarley Blue Moon (Ai)

A masculine dog of 5 years. His outline flows smoothly from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. Well moulded head with good reach of neck. His front and rear angulation is free from exaggeration. Standing on strong round feet. A little looser in front on the move.
