MPD 5

1st Miss J Cranfield’s Zefather’s Ralph Lauren, 8 month fawn, balanced young dog who looks all male. Head strong with dark mask and eye giving a kind expression. Well filled front with width through body, good bone standing on tight feet. Movement free and ground covering once settled. BPD & BPIS

2nd Miss J Walton’s Novavida Hellboy. 8 month well marked harli. Plenty of bone, strong head, would prefer a cleaner eye. Move well.

3rd Miss S Barratt’s Rioco My Boy.

PD 3

1st 

Miss T & Mrs L Pocock’s Tamzdane Empower Mint. 9 month mantle. Demands attention as soon as he enters the ring. Clean lines, strong head with dark eye and correct head planes. Well filled front, plenty of bone, strong top line. Free moving, covers the ground with ease, would just prefer tidier movement coming and going.

2nd Mr J & Mrs L Donnelly’s Primus Law Man. 10 month fawn. As soon as I saw this dog loved everything about him. Strong, well balanced, plenty of bone, well filled front and width and depth through body. Correct angles, clean lines which just flowed as your hands go over him. Correct head planes with square drop of lip and dark eye. Wasn’t totally sound on the move which lost him the class.

3rd Mr D Simpson’s Novavida California Dream at Renescent.

JD 6 (1)

1st Mrs S Lipman & Mrs S Booth’s Rimor Aurelius. 15 month dark brindle. Overall a nice shape with well filled front, strong head, dark eye, good top line. Moved well. More to come. Down to last 4 in line up.

2nd Mrs P Price’s Devorin Washington via Leamap. 12 month black giving a lot away to the maturity of the winner. Presented in beautiful condition, just needs time to fill his frame. Moved well.

3rd Miss Hewet’s Brooke Springtime.

YD 3 (1)

1st Mr M & Mr P Jacques & Kirby’s Jacqukir No Regrets J.W. Strong fawn with dark mask and eye. Would prefer more chiselling under eye and  length of foreface. Little over done in front which unbalances him.

2nd Miss Hewett’s Brooke Springtime. 3rd in junior. 16 month blue who needs time to fill his frame. Correct head and gentle expression. Covered the ground well, front movement let him down.

ND 3

1st Miss J Cranfield’s Zefather’s Ralph Lauren. 1st MPD

2nd Miss Ferguson’s Elitedaimos Magick Mago at Chateaudain. 13 month blue. Well balanced, light eye gives a little hard expression to otherwise good head planes. Moved well. Really liked him, just needs time.

3rd Mrs S Tempest’s Adoreadane The Way You Are.

PGD 1

SOBRD 1

1st Mr J, Mrs H & Miss C Dyson’s Ch Samdice Nobody Does It Betta (AI) Loved this boy. Correct make and shape, masculine head, dark eye, well filled front, good depth and width of body. A dog you need to get your hands on. Moved steady in his class but just wilted in the challenge, such a shame.

SOFD 1
