Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Cossus D’domus Stella (Imp Por) NAF (Mr S Tychowski) a 10-month-old well boned and well grown youngster. Very attractive head both in shape and proportions. Pleasing dark eyes and engaging expression. Has all the basics of structure needed in a developing puppy. A bit reluctant mover but did improve.


Class 583. Post Graduate Dog

Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Essanelle The Red Musketeer (Mrs L V Godderidge) a substantial 4-year-old who is well coated. He has a nice-looking head and expression, strong underjaw, would prefer a better bite. Significant bone and body. Free mover but needs to be more controlled in rear action. Presents a sturdy, upstanding ‘all male’ picture. Best Male.

2nd Place    Estjak Riodouro (Mr K & Mrs R Hall) a well-presented 3½year old who is pleasing in head and expression. True front although would prefer more laid back in shoulder. Well bodied with well boned hindquarters; would like more stifle angulation. Not the most enthusiastic of movers.


Class 584. Open Dog

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Essanelle Dartagnan (Mrs L V Godderidge) a heavily built 4-year-old mature male who has a pleasing head. Substantial in bone and body and so heavy in coat he tended to lose shape. Would prefer more defined angle in hindquarters. Reserve Best Male.


Class 586. Veteran Bitch

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Asterel Belle Starr at Garregddu (Miss T & Miss R J Roberts) a 7½ year old mature bitch who has a pleasing enough side profile. She has an attractive head, well boned true front and she is sturdy in body pleasing in top-line. Prefer more length in second thigh to give more defined angle behind. Moved OK but a little lethargic.


Class 588. Junior Bitch

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Super Number Initiating (Mr S Tychowski) a very pleasing 2 year old well made young bitch. Very attractive in head and expression.

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place    T'safira Do Cabeco Do Seixo (Imp Ptr) (Lady S Mckinlay) a 2½ year old well enough made bitch who, when standing naturally, presents a pleasing outline and side profile. Attractive in head but was not relaxed which detracted from her expression. Moved well enough when needed.




Class 590. Open Bitch

Entries: 3 Absentees: 0

1st Place    Garregddu Agua (Miss T & Miss R J Roberts) an impressive quality 3½ year old of excellent make and shape. She looks the part, being breed typical in appearance and well made all through.

3rd Place    Pt Ch Seia Da Quinta Moinhos Das Almas with Milagre (Imp Por) (Miss Gc Reid) a 4½year old who lacks coat and so does not look as finished or mature as 1st & 2nd.
