I very much appreciated this lovely entry which I had been looking forward to for a long time. Quality as always was mixed but it was a real treat to judge some well filled classes and find some promising youngsters. All were presented in good clean condition and displayed typical happy temperaments.

Puppy D (2)

1st Cadmore & Neill’s Soletrader Times Square

7 months and looking at the right stage of maturity for his age, liked his balanced masculine head with dark oval eyes giving a lovely expression. Strong underjaw and well folded low set ears. Well laid shoulders with a good amount of forechest for his age, tidy elbows and neat feet. Well shaped ribs, level topline and good tailset, moved soundly and had the slight edge on front action in this class, good drive from balanced rear.

2nd Bartley’s Erylan Poseidon De La Mer

A promising 11 month old with a pleasing balanced outline. Strong well furnished head with dark eyes, muscular neck of good length leading into firm topline. Well boned front and good depth of chest, moved well especially in profile where he covers the ground with easy long strides, well set tail carried proudly.
