Puppy (3, 2abs)

1st Lamancha Trust Your Heart with Gloi 6 month dark gold bitch with excellent pigmentation, good length to her muzzle and a kind eye. Strong through the neck with a good layback of shoulder and deep rib. She has cracking bone and feet and her broad thighs were well muscled giving plenty of drive. BPIB

Junior (10, 4abs)

1st Strathlon Spirit of Ecstasy This 13 month bitch really filled my eye, she has a lovely outline and is correctly balanced throughout. Her head is feminine with a pleasing length to muzzle and gently rounded backskull. She is deep in rib with a firm topline and lovely rear quarters which she used to great advantage on the move, lovely in profile and clean coming and going. BOB

2nd Shebelta Sweet Soul Music. Strong masculine dog of 14 months with a balanced head and nicely shaped eye. He is firm through the neck with well set shoulders, I would prefer a touch more upperarm to balance him out. He has deep ribs and broad thighs with a good amount of bone. He had good rear movement just a little untidy in front today.

2nd Stormrose Good As Gold 8 month pale yellow dog with lots of substance and bone. He has a well made head with a soft brown eye, just a touch throaty for me.

1st I Know Him So Well at Rokaness 15 month dog still quite raw but he has everything in the right place and it fits so well. I loved his moulded head with a bright well shaped eye of good size. He flowed through the neck and shoulder with a good return of upperarm. I liked his racy outline and clean driving movement.

2nd Gloi Dubh Kristopher Robin JW A much bigger dog with a lot of bone and substance. He has balanced angulation and a lot of depth and spring of rib. I would prefer tighter feet and a more settled movement, he looked good in profile but not as tidy coming towards me.

1st Cushatlaw Serendipity JW Lovely size and type with a feminine head and expression, she has a strong neck into shoulder with the correct amount of forechest.. Straight forelegs and well made tight feet. She tended to hunch a little in the wind today which did affect her topline but this did not impede her movement which was a true ground covering stride.

2nd Brevathos Tanna. Unplaced in the earlier class but was much more settled here. She has a typical head with a pleasing eye and good length of neck, still needs to finish in front but has depth of rib and good feet.
