Veteran D or B (1):

1. Eldred’s Bramalodge Amiety at Derdeldash, 9 years bitch shown in good condition, pleasing head, coat and length, went happily;

Puppy (2):

1. Eldred and Dickinson’s Dakotadax Check Mate, black/tan bitch of 9 months, overall nicely constructed with pleasing head, body and hindquarters, quite well made in front, has a pleasing outline which she maintained on the move where she is sound and goes with drive, BB and BP;

2. Simpson’s Cumhaill Cream, 10 months male with pleasing head, shown in very good condition, well handled, not the topline of 1;

1. Corner’s Cishelvine Portia at Carcorn, red bitch of 17 months, shown in fit, well muscled condition, scored in having better width of chest and hind action compared with 2, RBB;

2. Mackenzie’s Stanegate Savannah with Sweetihoundz, a pleasing type and shape overall but would benefit from being shown in harder, fitter condition;

Ord’s Cloudside Sebastian of Marnadee, handsome, masculine dog of 2.5 years, shown and presented to advantage and in good muscular condition, there is no mistaking his gender, has pleasing head, eye and topline, good legs and feet, correct coat, and moved soundly, BD and BOB, and continued to excel by winning BIS under Jan Pain from a strong line-up.
