1. Buckley’s Tambuzi True Colours. Very nice bitch, well balanced, strong top-line, correct croup and tail-set, shown in full coat and good condition, moved with an efficient ground covering gait.

2. Hargreaves’ Harbecca Chantilly Lace. Preferred the front of 1 when viewed coming towards me but this bitch has balance and an efficient gait. On another day a little more condition would serve her well.

2. Ward’s Diamonds Are Forever in Starside. Feminine head, good dark eye and balanced fore and aft but tended to be a little untidy on the out and back but covered good ground in profile.

Two very nice veterans I just preferred 1 who was tidier when viewed from behind.  

1. Baldwin’s Melneg Magic Mystery at Breevana. Good overall balance, correct bone, shown in full coat, long reach and drive on the move, BVIS.

2. Collier’s Moshanta Midnight Star over Collherd. A lovely 12 year old who remains a credit to the breed, good bone, good angulation but just, a tendency these days, to be a little bit ‘hocky’ when viewed from the rear.
