Class 1 Veteran Dog 3:3

1st Hobb’s Beaconsflyde Catch The Kiss JW SHCM VW - The first thing that strikes you on this 8 year old Blenheim veteran is the gorgeous depth of colour to his well broken coat. He has nice head proportions. There was a true fluidity to his gait that was missing in many of the younger exhibits. Therefore he looked graceful on the move, as a Cavalier should. A veteran to be proud of.

2nd Luphenex Lord of the Rings -Lovely large bright eyes on this Blenheim, with a very typical Cavalier disposition that was very attentive to his handler. His coat was well broken and he had good pigment.

Class 2 Minor Puppy Dog 2:2

1st (Miletree Gabriel )Delightful typey puppy of just 6 months . Could of scooped him up and took him home, short coupled puppy that was balanced . Such great head proportions and lots of cushioning for one so young with lovely dark eyes and truly gentle expression. He had a great fore chest and good angles , still learning his craft but one I will watch with interest.

2nd (Ouzelewell’s Theadore) Very sound puppy of a bigger type, lovely expressive eyes, good dentition and pigment. Lovely silky coat that was well broken, he had a happy disposition.

Class 3 puppy dog 1:1

1st (Long’s Arroline Kryptonite) Stood alone in this class but is a quality puppy. Although a little longer cast than ideal he has a lovely outline and a super silky well broken tri coat, which as breeders we all know is so hard to achieve ! He has a lovely head developing well, so well cushioned for his age and is a true series of curves, lovely dark eyes and well feathered ears and a gentle expression. He showed his socks off for his clever handler. BPIS

Class 4 Junior Dog 2:3

1st (Gibson’s Toraylac Harvard )My star of the day! This 15 month old Blenheim has a lovely balanced outline and he is a lovely size, a true toy spaniel. His well broken coat has a lovely deep colour. He has a lovely head developing with an almost flat skull and curves in all the right places , a symmetrical blaze and dark eyes, great pigment and dentition. He moves well and holds his topline stood and on the move. He had great depth of chest. I couldn’t resist him and enjoyed looking up his breeding. BIS

2nd (Morgan’s Hearthfriend Trafalgar) Another nice Blenheim with lovely large dark eyes and well feathered ears. He has a good outline that is short coupled with moderate bone. He has a long silky coat.

1st Arrowline Kryptonite

See critique in puppy dog

 2nd Fortunamajor Remus – lovely head and eye on this ruby boy. He had a scissor bite and good pigment. A little out of coat today but he has lovely movement and carriage although a little long in the coupling than I would prefer.

Class 6 Graduate 3:3

1st Gibson’s Toraylac Harvard (see junior dog)

2nd Hubert’s Hearthfriend Just William lovely head shape , curved in all the right places, flat skull well fathered ears and a great backskull. He had expressive dark eyes. He is blanket coated but comes alive on the move and has an ever wagging tail for his handler.

Class 7 Post Graduate 3:3

1st Jackson’s Fortunmajor Ruebus -A tough choice between first and second such a soft expression that said pick me! This lovely ruby he has nice head proportions, fantastic pigment and dentition and really well feathered ears. He has well laid back shoulders and excellent bone and he has a beautiful silky coat that was beautifully presented , so easy to see who his sire is. He moves really well holding a level topline and tail carriage, albeit a little close behind. He has a typical temperament and an ever wagging tail. Once his coat arrives to finish the picture I’m sure his presence will be felt. RBD

Class 10 Open Dog 1:1

Wimbley & Newman’s Trishines Celestial Dream with Finjaro Lots to like about this 5 year old delicious headed Blenheim with the sweetest expression which I see he gets from his beautiful Mother who was BVIS. He has great bone and looks lovely in profile. He was a little upright in shoulder which spoilt his reach but he had lovely fluid movement and was very attentive to his handler. I also noted he had lovely clean large teeth with a scissor bite.

Class 11 1:1

Newman’s What’s it all about Finjaro – excelled in head and eye, neat muzzle, great pigment and soft expression. He had great ribs which were in the minority today. Would of liked better shoulders but he had a happy disposition and good drive from behind

1st Wimbley & Newmans Finjaro Celestial with Trishine -A new lady to me but I could not resist the large sparkling eyes and gentle expression on this spritely 11 year old Blenheim, what a joy she must be to own.

I couldn’t wait to look up her breeding, what a fantastic sire he has been. BVIS

1st Hubert’s Rabymar Secret Obsession- a cheeky looking black and tan puppy who is full of life and confidence at such an early age, a real show off! Lovely bright markings and lovely head developing, dark eyes,soft expression and lovely scissor bite and big teeth. She’s a really neat package due to being short coupled, with great ribs but I would of liked a bit more neck.

2nd Towse’s Miletree Una -More my type but not as well schooled as one so was hard to assess on the move. She is balanced with a well broken coat Blenheim coat. She had a lovely head with dark eyes. From what I could see she has good angles and movement. When her confidence comes, she will be one to watch I’m sure.

1st Gibson’s Toraylac Honolulu Notes say little typey firecracker – lovely size, balance and shape a lovely cavalier silhouette , a really gentle expression and lovely curves to the head. She had a well broken silky coat Good bones and really good angles, in short I could of picked her up and took her home. I was really taken with her RBB. Her clever breeder must be delighted with this litter as her litter brother was also BIS.

Class 19 Limit Blenheim or Tri 2:3

1st Colaveccia’s Carolus Miss Elsie A 5 year old Blenheim with a spellbinding disposition, she has a sweet head with dark eye and pigment and with some work on her tear stains she could look even more appealing. she is so well made and moved true with grace and style and she truly drives from behind. She has such great tail carriage and set and although I would prefer a little more neck she absolutely stole the show with her ever wagging tail and eagerness to please her handler. What a delight she must be to own and she would not allow me to overlook her so I didn’t and made her RBIS.
