BSB 605 - Bernalicious Blue Floosie (Mrs R Prior)

Minor Puppy Dog 1 1abs

598 - Bernmont Sergeant at Philandros (Ms P J & Mrs R Forrest & Lucas) Just 6 mths Skull and muzzle developing well at this stage. Eye of good colour and shape. Ample width and depth well boned legs. Moving was a shade close in hock and loose in front needs to strengthen in muscle as to be expected still at the raw stage.

Puppy Dog 1

597 - Bernmont Allo Allo at Philandros (Ms P J & Mrs R Forrest & Lucas) Littermate to MPD Head not quite as developed as littermate but coming on nicely. Well boned legs and tidier in hocks on the move, chest starting to drop as to be expected not quite as raw as littermate at this stage but will change places.

Open Dog 3 1 Withdrawn

594 - Ch. Chandlimore Boys Night in (Mr B & Miss A Deegan & Grainger) Richly coloured

well-presented jacket no mistaking his masculinity on the stand. Superb width to skull with short

muzzle strong jaws and well set dentition. Dark eye with good fit and pigment. Good musculature

 to neck broad withers with good shoulders. Chest wide and deep in brisket. Front legs well boned down

 to his compact feet. Rear assembly has good thigh definition and good hocks. Good croup gives correct

 tail set and carriage. Moving is such a powerhouse and so strong driving off his hocks takes some clever

 Handling. Well done to his stand-in runner at the last minute doing a good job. Once his testosterone

 Filled head simmers down will have an excellent future ahead. When settled gave a positive sound ground

covering balanced action. DCC

602 - Snowfordhill Nimrod (L & E Lyons & Grubb) Another well boned lad no denying his masculinity.

 Broad in skull, defined in stop and muzzle has depth with strong jaws and tidy jowls. Good strength

 To neck and front assembly. Chest has width and depth stands on good feet. Firm in top line, nice bend

of stifles. And tidy hocks moved out at a balanced striding pace. RDCC.

Special Beginners 3 1 abs due to over qualification

605 - Bernalicious Blue Floosie (Mrs R Prior) 10mths Still quite raw as yet but developing well. Eye dark and good fits at this stage head still changing. Ample neck into fornt. Chest coming on. Nice bend to stifles with dewclaws on hocks. Here moved better than 2. Needs more ring training which can be learnt.

603 - Surleval Draig Moondancer (Mrs Phillips) 14 mths. Another needing more time and training. Shull has width and deep stop, bite could be better. Chest need to develop on for width and depth. Not the bend in stifle of 1. Moving was very loose in in rear action and pasterns coming towards so needs to tighten up muscle wise.

Puppy Bitch 1

605 - Bernalicious Blue Floosie (Mrs R Prior) Winner of SBB

Junior Bitvh 3

604 - Surleval Draig Sisu (Mrs Phillips) Richly coloured markings. Feminine shape on the stand Skull and muzzle ratios developing well with good stop. Dark eye of good shape. But could be tighter, also the in the jowls for me. Ample strength to neck and developing in chest and ribbing. Nice croup and tail set. Moving was a little loose in front pasterns which should tighthen and also in hocks with gentle exercise.

605 - Bernalicious Blue Floosie (Mrs R Prior)

603 - Surleval Draig Moondancer (Mrs Phillips)

Post Graduate 1

600 - Saintlinbern Beating Heart (Mrs K & Mr R Friend) Another giving handler hard time, needs

 More ring and lead training to get it together. Dark eye with naughtiness in expression. ~Bite could be

better. Well off for bone. Shade long in loins and straighter in stifles. Moving was not balanced and too

proud of her tail. Saw a glimpse of a stride but needs more balance and fluidity.

Limit Bitch 3 1 abs

601 - Dawnstenbears Rule The World (Mr R & Mrs S & Mr S & Mrs D Holloway Ample bone for

shape and size. Broad deep muzzle and good stop quite mouth shy today. Like a tighter eye fit.

 Richly coloured jacket. Moving needs to find a rhythmic pace with handler and was not balanced and

Fluid, but slightly better than 2.

596 - Chedham Another Level for Angelmoon (Miss S Drewe) Ample bone for size and shape.

 Richly coloured jacket. Skull to muzzle ratios ok quite mouth shy today, would like tighter eye fitting.

Chest not the width or depth of 1. On the move was not fluid in action.

Open Bitch 2

595 - Ch. Chandlimore Heart Beat (Mr B & Miss A Deegan & Grainger) Admired her many times in

 The Group ring. Such a super feminine outline on the stand in quality rich marked jacket. Sired by

 A favourite of mine too. Skull is broad with god ear set, deep definition to stop muzzle is deep and

broad with strong jaws and good dentition with tidy fit to jowls. Good strongly muscled neck into

broad withers. Chest has depth and width with good ribbing and best fitting elbows. Loins are firm into

croup giving super tail set and carriage. Stifles are moderate with muscling to both thighs stands on parallel

hocks and super feet. She really comes into her own on the move, effortless power and drive off rear

 And lovely front extension whilst retaining balanced and keeping her shape. Loved her. Thanks for the

 Privilege. BCC & BOB later Group 4

592 - Chandlimore Good Morning (Mr Jbm Davies) Littermate to 1 Another well-made and fem8inine

Silhouette on the stand. Broad skull and abrupt in stop with good muzzle depth and width. Neck is

strong fitting into well placed shoulders and good fit of elbows. Deep ribbing and firm loins. Ample

 bend of stifles and sound hocks. Darker markings than 1. Moved out with good ground covering action.

RBCC.
