Puppy (4,0)

1. Hernwood Gin Fizz – nicely balanced bitch puppy. Excellent tan markings and coat. Well presented with a lovely outline when stacked. Good depth of chest and overall proportions. Super expression and excellent head leading into a strong neck and well laid shoulder. Moved with style and drive with excellent reach both fore and aft in profile, holding her excellent topline. BP and delighted to hear she went RBPIS, Congratulations!

2. Hernwood The Botanist – lovely up for size male puppy with excellent bone and substance with masculine head but with a soft expression and good dark eye. Good depth of chest and good forechest. Strong topline, just slightly more forward in shoulder. Moved well.

3. Samsett First Edition

Post Graduate (2,0)

1. Lignum Money Talks at Bratticus – nice male with good bone and front assembly with good depth of chest and forechest. Super head with lovely expression. Strong topline which he held well on the move. Good tan markings and coat. Would prefer slightly more hind angulation but move accurately fore and aft with good reach and drive in profile. RBOB

2. Pegasett Dizzy Dafne For Samsett – lovely elegant bitch, close up to 2nd. Lovely head and expression with good ear set, would prefer a slightly darker eye. Excellent front assembly and good hind angulation, a little lacklustre on the move today so not quite the reach and drive shown by 1.

Open (3,1)

1. Lignum Evolution at Bratticus – substantial male with excellent bone. Strong head with good depth of muzzle, good ear set and with a lovely soft expression. Strong neck which flowed into a good topline. Good spring of rib and balanced proportions. Good hind angulation and he moved with excellent reach and drive in profile and accurate coming and going. Well presented in good coat with excellent tan markings. BOB.

2. Benbuie Rose Quartz With Kellizlot – lovely mature bitch of good size with balanced proportions, slightly unsettled today so do not think I saw her at her best. Feminine head and balanced front & hind assembly and when settled she moved well fore and aft.
