Class 358. Puppy Dog

Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1st Place    772 - Roiliondogue Hercules (Mr S I & Mrs J Hargreaves) a sturdy 10-month-old well boned and bodied youngster who has a powerful appearance. He looks strong and stocky when viewed front-on and from the side. Firm in top-line and ok tail-set. Pleasing in head shape and head characteristics which I preferred to 2nd. Good width across the chest. Typical puppy, needs to tighten in front and to settle and have more controlled drive on the move. Best Puppy in Breed.

2nd Place    769 - Regalrouge's King of The Dean (Mrs G & Mr D Greenway) another 10-month-old who also has exemplary bone and body development. Well boned and pleasing substance of body; taller than 1st. Tending to splay in front and so needing to tighten up in front. Free moving but tending to crab slightly.

Class 359. Junior Dog

Entries: 3 Absentees: 0

1st Place    781 - Here Comes The Son by Bearox (Miss K & Mr M Southward & Leonard) a 15-month-old substantial male who is well boned and is sturdy in body. Good sized head which is enhanced by pleasing breed characteristics. Plenty of width across the chest, well boned true enough front, powerful in make and shape. Pleasing overall length and looks to be balanced and well-proportioned in body when viewed from side on. A free mover and the better of the day. Best Dog and Best of Breed.

2nd Place    768 - Beauxdogues Reginald Kray (Ms G Flowerdew) a 16-month-old sturdy, youthful male who has a very pleasing head both in size, shape and expression. Well boned and nicely bodied. Tended to splay in front and on occasions looked slack in the back and tended lose his top-line. Free movement but inclined to pull to side so lacking control of his action.

Class 360. Limit Dog

1st Place    779 - Bellamiabam Romeo (Miss K & Mr M Southward & Leonard) a 3-year-old upstanding well-made male who has the appearance of strength and power. Attractive, breed typical head. Strong forequarters with good width across the chest. Well boned true enough front with well laid shoulders. He presents a muscular appearance in side profile. Free moving although a little close hocked in rear action. My Reserve Best Dog.

1st Place    770 - Aibrean Rocketman at Roiliondogue (Mr S I & Mrs J Hargreaves) a 4½year old mature male of striking size and substance. Large head, masculine and having pleasing breed characteristics and expression Well boned and pleasing in front with proportional width across the chest. Good length, powerful body all in proportion to the rest of him. A free, steady mover in rear action but tending to splay in front.


Class 362. Puppy Bitch

Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1st Place    771 - Roiliondogue Athena (Mr S I & Mrs J Hargreaves) a very promising 10-month-old shapely young bitch who is nicely developed in bone and body with the basic structure to grow on. She has a pleasing head and expression. Satisfying in appearance viewed from the front and side. An eager mover, just needs to steady and be more controlled in action.

1st Place    780 - Bellamiabam She Loves You at Bearox JW (Miss K & Mr M Southward & Leonard) a sturdy looking bitch of good type and overall pleasing shape and appearance. Feminine in head which has clean features, is breed typical and obviously feminine; strong jaw, nice eye shape and colour. Pleasing width across the chest with good spring of rib. Firm in top-line and ok tail-set, strong hindquarters which she used well on the move. Stands well over the ground. My Reserve Best Bitch.

Class 365. Open Bitch

Entries: 4 Absentees: 3

1st Place    778 - Aibrean Drops of Jupiter (Mrs L & Mr M Moran & Leonard) a well-constructed and proportioned mature 3-year-old. I liked her head shape and expression. Well-constructed in front, body and rear. Pleasing bone with firm substance of body, broad, firm loin. Very satisfying in look both in side profile and when viewed front on. Proportional width all through; she has desirable spring of rib and is ribbed well back. When settled was the better mover of the bitches. My Best Bitch winner
