Many thanks to my two hard working stewards Sue and Julie who kept the ring running so smoothly for me, really appreciated your help.

1. Withdrawn. I was unable to touch this young exhibit and he was clearly very scared and becoming increasingly distressed, the owner agreed that she would like to withdraw.

1. Robson’s Sandytrail Seraphin Meslabrit. Pyrenean Sheepdog (LH). Lively young black male of 18 months, appealing head with excellent pigment, masculine expression and good eye shape, good ear set, just a little long in proportions, good feet and correct bone, very free on the move, just a little unsure about being assessed, BD.

2. Lucas’ Sandytrail Sirene at Shiningtor. Pyrenean Sheepdog (LH). Black bitch of 18 months who I now see is the litter sister to 1st, very similar in appearance and structure, a little short in leg and again a little long in body, feminine head and expression with dark eye, sound in top-line with good angulation, moved out ok when she settled, RBB.

1. Robson’s Sandytrail Scheherazade Meslabrit. Pyrenean Sheepdog (LH). Really loved this 7 year old fawn bitch, she was so confident and didn’t put a paw wrong all the time she was in the ring, lovely feminine head and expression, excellent pigment, correct neck and shoulders, lovely body proportions, correct bone and feet, loved her confident movement, she owned that ring and she knew it! Presented in excellent coat and condition, a true showgirl, BB & BOB.

2. Lucas’ Sandytrail Stargazer at Shiningtor. Pyrenean Sheepdog (LH). 6 year old black male, masculine head and expression, straight legs with correct bone and good feet, sound in top-line and nicely angulated all through, in good coat and condition but not the movement of 1st, RBD.
