MPD (2)

1. Willcock’s Newill Keep Toot. Very much a baby, but won the class on his slightly move collected movement. Pleasing head, long and lean with bright expressive eyes. Nice straight front legs, quite a curvy outline with a good bend of stifle. He has lovely soft supple skin and coat. Quite puppyish on the move as yet, but saw glimpses of a good front lift, just needs to tighten up a little all round.

2. Fryett’s Laborghini Tarot At Silhouettig. Another real baby, with an attractive head and expression and well placed ears. Nice length of neck, narrow chest with correct width, straight legs, a little angular in his outline at the moment, needing a few more curves, but had well bent stifles. His coat is soft and fine. When settled, he had a lovely lift in front.

PD (1)

1. Hunter’s Salatini Dakota Gold. Attractive elegant young boy, pleasing for size. A touch unsure of himself on table, but lovely for type with an attractive long lean head with a dark eyes well placed rose ears giving a gentle expression. Nice straight front legs, curvy outline with gentle rise over the loin and well bent stifles. Shown in super coat and skin condition. Moved soundly, could have a touch more lift in front, but saw glimpses. Pleased to award him BPD.

JD (1)

1. Hunter’s Salatini Platinum Gold. Brother to previous class winner, and another lovely type, touch unsure on the table, lovely for size and breed type. Beautiful long narrow head, ears well set on, and a lovely warm expression. Good length of neck, sound straight front, perhaps a touch more rise over loin needed to give a curvier outline. Shown in lovely coat and condition. Moved steadily, just needs more confidence which hopefully will come once he gets the hang of things and then he could easily change places with his brother.

PGD (2)

1. Henshall’s Gemolli Midnight Magic. Probably top size but still well balanced and all in proportion. Long masculine head, without being overdone, dark eyes and neat ears well placed ears. His long neck is well set on good shoulders, his chest is deep but narrow, nice ribbing, and good turn of stifle and has the slight arch over his loin. Shown in lovely condition with soft skin and coat. Moved out well in profile with lift and reach in front, although he was not quite as accurate behind moving away.

2. Bailey’s Loweroak Toy Boy. Smaller well balanced boy. His head is perhaps a touch wide in skull compared to winner, largish eyes and neat rose ears. He has good bone and straight front legs, good depth of chest, a nice curvy outline and stifles are well bent. Pleasing coat and skin condition. He didn’t make the most of himself on the move today and needs to settle all round.

LD (2)

1. Powell’s Chrisford Rough Rider. Top end of the size range for me, but I thought he had the better movement, and more shapely outline. Long masculine head but a touch heavy between ears. Nice straight legs, plenty of depth of chest, nicely sloping shoulders and well bent stifles. Shown in super condition, soft coat and skin. Moved soundly both ways with, some lift at front.

2. Hague’s Phoenix rouge du zephyr de bizance. Nice size, I liked his head better, being long and narrow and flatter between his neat rose shaped ears. Nice straight legs, pleasing curvy outline and well bent stifles. Shown in lovely coat and condition. He seemed to be a little unsure of himself today, and his movement was not as accurate as winner today.

OD (5,1abs)

1. Hunter’s Salatini Santino. An eye-catching elegant boy who appealed for his size and overall balanced profile. Beautiful head with the darkest of eyes and well placed ears, all giving a warm gentle expression. Good shoulder placement with straight front, deep but narrow chest all giving a clean outline with correct rise over the loin and a good turn of stifle. Shown in pristine condition with a lovely soft glossy coat. Moved soundly with pleasing rear and side action. Pleased to award him the DCC, which I told later was his third and crowning one. In the challenge I thought the bitch had a little more reach in front on the move.

2. Lee & Amsel’s Artmeis Magical Moonlight. Another top quality boy, super shape and outline. He has a beautiful head, neat rose ears and bright expressive eyes. Nice straight legs with good bone, well sloped shoulders, he has a deep narrow chest, correct rise over loin and well bent stifles. Shown in great coat and skin condition. Moved out well, sound out and back with a pleasing and accurate profile action. Pleased to award him the RDCC.

3. Willcock’s Ch Newill Singing Wind.

VD (1)

1. Tate’s Quintus Forum Romanum (imp.Pol). BVD. 7 ½ years boy who looked older for his age as he was carrying far too much body condition, so losing his elegance and outline. Masculine long head, with a good ear set. His front legs are straight, rather rounded in rib with some rise over loin and well bent stifles. Coat was fine and with nice supple skin. Moved steadily with some lift at front.

1. Fryett’s Silhouettig Mirror Mirror. She had nice profile action with some lift at front. Long feminine head with well-placed ears. Good front with long slender legs, deep but narrow chest and well bent stifles. Shown in good condition with a lovely soft coat.

2. Pendlebury’s Raising Venus Du Zephyr De Bizance. Pretty girl, with a long feminine head, and neat ears. Straight front, rather fine legs, would like a like more slope to her shoulders, she has a nice outline when stacked and shown in beautiful coat and skin condition.
