Puppy (4,1)

1. Mrs Johns - Breezelyn Ears A breakthrou For Alepenkye naf

Just loved this 8 month old dark grey bitch, there is so much to like about her. She carries herself with an air of self confidence combined with cheekiness. When stood presents a shapely silhouette, compact and square and full of quality. Her head is balanced with a good length to the foreface, dark oval eye with a hint of mischief and well placed mobile ears, tipping forward nicely. Having enough depth for her age, holding a firm topline both stood and on the move. Harmonious angulation fore and aft. Well set on and carried tail. Moving out with her head held high with a brisk light step – BP & RBOB, very close up for top honours

2. Ms Harvey - Pumiden Bold Silverado

11 month old pale grey bitch ,another nice youngster, with much to admire. Such a happy and expressive girl. Liked her overall type, being of a nice size and very feminine. Not quite as compact as the winner in outline. Appealing head showing balance with parallel planes. A lovely dark eye and pigmentation giving a gentle and intelligent expression, correct ears which were constantly in use. Nicely developed through the body, with the high set withers, good depth to the brisket and firm topline. Moved with a good side gait, not as clean in her front action today as winner, in harmony with her handler

Post Graduate (1,0)

1. Ms Harvey - Pumiden Prime Suspect

2 year old dark grey bitch, who has a pleasing shapely outline when stood, but let herself down on the move today. Most feminine of heads, long and lean, with minimal stop. Correctly placed and tipped ears and lovely dark expressive oval eyes. Holding a firm topline with good placement of the withers, enough depth to the brisket, showing a good underline. Strong hindquarters with a good width of thigh, and in super muscle tone. Short hock to heel. On the move in profile, she has a light brisk gait, a little untidy today in the rear and tended to carry her tail down. Coat has a slight crispness to it.

1. Mrs Johns - Breezelyn Ears A Top Tip At Alepenkye

The standard asks for ‘lively,’ and this 2 year old dark grey bitch has it by the spade load! So naughty but so nice. Loved her no-nonsense attitude to life, it is there to be lived to the fullest. When stood she presents a sturdy and compact outline, with unexaggerated symmetry. A pleasing head, of good proportions, length and strength to the foreface, but lean all through. Well placed ears and lovely dark oval eyes with sparkle with anticipation of what to do next. Medium length of neck, high placed withers, holding a firm level topline at all times. She has lovely depth to the ribcage and close fitting elbows a short loin leading to a strong rear. She has width to the thigh which is well muscled and well set on and curled tail. Her coat has a slight crispness to the touch. Nearly throwing it away with her Zebedee impression, she definitely has spirit, but once settled showed her short-striding action, true fore and aft. - BOB

2. Ms Harvey - Pumiden Very Special Agent

Pleasing 2 year old dark grey dog, who has a very shapely outline on the stack. He has a handsome lean head, showing good balance of back skull to foreface with a minimal stop. Kind dark oval eyes and dark pigmentation. High set ears, well feathered and tipping over to give a typical expression. Strong neck flowing into his high set withers, chest is well let down to the elbow. Topline is held firm and level to a correctly placed tail. Not quite the width of thigh of winner but shown in good muscle tone. Short hock to heel. When moving in profile he has a good light and short-striding gait. A little untidy behind but clean in his front action. Would personally prefer the coat a little more natural.
