1st Place Bobby Robson (Mr S Green)

Eight years old, a substantial chap. Good headpiece on him with good furnishings. Front is well made, just would like him slightly tighter elbow. Good reach of neck. Body of good proportions, ribs well sprung and firm through the loin. Quarters are well developed, stifles moderately bent. Moved out well.

1st Place Zöldmáli Latin Lover (Mr LW & Mrs SM Howard)

3 year old male, a rangier chap who presented a good overall shape. Head is masculine, for my tastes I would have like a slightly darker eye colour. Good in neck into a decent lay back of shoulder, stands on straight well boned legs. Well developed in chest, moderate quarters. Moved out well with a decent footfall. Lacked in furnishings today, so lost out to his stablemate for RBD.

1st Place Sh Ch Tragus Fox Appeal (Mr P & Mr G & Mrs L Upton)

Balanced from any angle, he is impressive on the stack, presenting that typical outline. Head is masculine with a kind eye and has good furnishings. Clean, strong, reach of neck which led into well assembled front, shoulders well laid back and has the correct return of upper arm. Stands on well boned legs and neat feet. His body is well proportioned with ribs well sprung and loin firm. Quarters well made, with correct angulation. Excels on the move with a ground covering action, driving from the rear. I could not fault him, Best Dog and later Best of Breed, thank you for bringing him today.

2nd Place Lanokk Szivos JW (Mr Lw & Mrs Sm Howard)

A smart dog of seven years, I like his size and shape, he is not overdone in anyway. He has good overall balance and proportions. Super head piece with good furnishings and a lovely eye. Clean reach of neck into a good front assembly, shoulders well laid. Good through the body with a decent coat. Moved out well in profile, just wasn’t as tidy as the winner in front action. Please to award him Reserve Best Dog.

1st Place Zöldmáli U R Special (Mr LW & Mrs SM Howard)

This chap is nine years old and has the most lovely expression, enhanced by a super eye colour. A smaller more compact dog than some of the others here today, he has a good neck in to well laid shoulders, depth to his chest and well boned legs. Decent spring of rib into well made quarters. Had a good profile action on him, just a shade untidy as he came towards me.

This lady has fulfilled her promise since the last time I judged her, delighted to see her as the mature finished article.

Stands on well boned legs and neat feet. Ribs developing nicely and firm through the loin. Quarters well developed for her age, which she used to advantage on the move.
