MPD 5(0)

1. Heritage’s Jazzmeenah Rohan Blaze. Excellent proportions and balance, lovely head and expression, good neck, top-line, croup could have a little more definition but when settled on the move had lovely balance and light front movement, good bone, feet and tail, BP.

2. Moore’s Merrick Prince Charming Cloudside NAF. Cream dog, more mature, excellent expression, good neck, top-line, croup and tail, moderate angulation front and rear but balanced, true steady mover.

PD 4(1)

1. Webster/Lloyd’s Vindaloo Blow Your Mind (imp). Black and tan, compact, masculine, elegant, needs to come up on leg a fraction, good croup and tail, dark eye, nice easy springy gait.

2. Gorman/Latimer’s Shahfoladi Sphinx Riddle at Zharook (AI). Tall upstanding dog, stands over more ground than 1st, good top-line, croup and tail, long lean head, covers ground on the move but needs to slow down as he tended to flatten a little rather than have spring, just needs to slow down and fill out a little.

1. Gosling’s Ayoubkhan Silk Road JW. Cream dog, excellent proportions and balanced angulation front and rear, he is elegant yet masculine enough, dark triangular eye, good neck, clean shoulder, excellent top-line, croup and tail, good depth, lovely easy, light, springy movement holding his outline standing and moving, DCC & BOB.

2. Gardner’s Saxonmill Majic Me Danwish. More compact dog and moderate in his balance, I loved his head and expression, could have a little more definition to croup, very well constructed and moved well but just not the animation of 1st, he is a slow maturing dog and his best is yet to come.

Black masked red bitch, excellent proportions and outline, she is feminine with substance, long head with strength, good underjaw and lovely expression, good neck, excellent front assembly balanced with her rear, good depth, short strong loin, good top-line, croup and tail, when she relaxed she has a lovely easy springy stride with natural carriage but just needs a little more work to finish an already lovely picture, BCC.

2. Hedge’s Unstoppable Happy Go Lucky AI (imp SWE). Black and brindle bitch with substance but still feminine, she has excellent proportions and balance and a lovely clean outline which she holds standing and moving, well constructed and balanced front and rear, I have admired this bitch from ringside several times and on a good day she is an excellent mover but today was just playing up slightly but very close decision, very nice bitch.
