1st Overton - Pop Goes The Diesel

Sable dog who was really enjoying his day out. Good underjaw, well placed dark eye with neat ears. Front needs to develop as does hind end. But when he settled on the move l could see the quality dog he is.

Junior Dog 2 entries 1 absent

1st - Hirst - Sundark Scaramouche

Loved the shape and outline of this dog with a fitting coat. Very masculine head, flat skull and good ears. He is a little heavily marked for my ideal blue merle. A little erratic in front movement today. But this did not distract the quality dog he is .

Graduate Dog 3 entries

1st - Creamer - Lyngarso Captain Tom . Lovely jet black Tri, good reach of neck, level top line and sweep over the loins. Masculine head with a well rounded for face. Flat skull and good ear set which he used well. Moved with drive and purpose. He is still a young dog at just 2 so has time to develop and mature more. B. D.

2nd - Roberts - Stanydale Rewrite the Stars for Malaroc J. W.

Smaller than 1 , pleasing head and expression, in good coat. Front angulation could be better as he tended to lift his feet up high and lack extension today. Also a lower tail carriage on the move would enhance his outline.

3rd -Pierce - Philhope Flame Thrower

Postgraduate Dog 1 entry

1st - Pattison - Kyleburn Hidden Dream

Golden sable carrying a big coat. Pleasing head and expression. Would like a slightly better lay back of shoulder which would enhance his front action as he was a little erratic today. Moved well behind .
