1. Jenkins’ Kinsridge Chainmail. 7 month quality pup who scored for his overall type and balance. Lovely head and expression, good breadth to his skull, neat ears, and dark oval eyes. Moderate neck, short back with firm top-line, ribs developing nicely, short loin and well developed hindquarters. Gaiting freely and with drive. Jacket of good texture and presented beautifully.
2. Thompson & Pope’s Belleville in A Word. A real baby at just 6 months and quite raw at the moment so not the substance or balance of the winner as yet. Nicely proportioned head with dark, expressive eyes, good stop and strong muzzle. Neck of moderate length, level top-line but a tad longer cast and also needing to grow his jacket. Moved out well on the go around, just needs to settle a little in front.

JD (2,1abs)
1. Ward’s Littlemount Celyn Y Mor. Nicely proportioned head, expressive eyes would like which I would like a shade darker, good stop and strong muzzle with good dentition. Neck of medium length, short back, level top-line, lovely ribbing, firm loin and tail of good set. He has good angulations front and back but was carrying too much weight over his shoulders, which spoils his otherwise nice outline, it also affected his movement coming on. Good movement going away and in profile. Good quality coat.
