This was a quality class, could easily swop places another day so was nit picking here on placings today.

1st: 510 ARKLEY, Mrs M Domburg On My Mind 5 yrs. Impressive masculine outline on the stand in a quality well-presented textured jacket, richly coloured with overlay and good mask. Good head chiselling and skull to muzzle ratios. Ear set well and alertly used, eye almond shape and dark with attentive expression, good bite, two slightly dropped teeth. Nice reach in neck into shoulders with good angles allowing tight well-fitting elbows. Depth to brisket and good ribbing firm loins, moderate bend of stifles tidy neat hocks. Good croup and tail carriage. Moving had a balanced brisk ground cover whilst retaining a balanced shape. DCC

2nd: 519 SNELL, Mrs N & SMITH, Miss S & LESTER, Mrs L Ch. Domburg Say I Can 4 ½ yrs. Another impressive make and shape on the stand, richly coloured jacket with nice shadings and mask. Proportions to skull and muzzle good with moderate stop, lovely dark expressive eye and alertly ear usage. Nice neck into shoulders, depth to brisket firm loins and moderate bend of stifles neat firm hocks. Moving was just a shade wider in front than 1 and just a bit proud of his tail at times affecting his balance and fluidity but saw enough when concentrating. A lot better when in the challenge RDCC.

3rd: 511 COOPER, Mrs G & POULTON, Mrs Hazel & POULTON, Mr D Domburg Never Say Never*** Here another quality masculine lad with so many breed qualities.

Class 317 VD NO ENTRIES

Class 319 JB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 517 MACKIE, Miss Nicola E & PREDDY, MR ISAAC Hawksflight It's A Wrap* 14 mths. Ultra feminine size make and shape on the stand. Once she became relaxed due to celebrations over in another ring was pleased to find her many breed types. Lovely in head ratios and such expression from ears and eyes. Neck and front assembly good as are rear angles, neat tidy hocks good tail set and carriage. Showed a purposeful brisk ground cover. Absolutely loved her just needs a little more ring confidence but this will come. Really did consider for RBCC.

Class 320 PGB NO ENTRIES

Class 321 LB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 515 LESTER, Mrs L & SMITH, MISS Sandra & WHEELER, Mr. T Domburg Can't Stop Loving *** 3 ¼ yrs. Feminine silhouette on the stand in richly coloured jacket. Nice masking, good skull to muzzle proportions moderate stop and ears used well, expressive dark eye, good bite. Neck fits well into shoulders chest has depth and good ribbing firm loins and nice bend to stifles and firm hocks, nice croup and tail set. Moving had a good side gait, coming towards seemed a little weak in pastern, losing a little balance and fluidity. Won RBCC on maturity today.

Class 322 OB (4 Entries) Abs: 3

1st: 513 LESTER & SMITH, Mrs & Miss L & S Domburg Because It's Me (ATC 13970406) 2 ¼ yrs. Stood alone here, but super feminine silhouette on the stand in a rich coloured jacket that has texture. Skull moderate with good set ears and usage, moderate stop and muzzle shape gives well set dentition. Dark mask and eye of lovely shape gives a balanced overall headpiece. Neck has length and good fit into well placed shoulders with tidy fitting elbows. Depth to brisket good ribbing and firm loins. Moderate bend to stifles, sound tidy hocks. Good croup gives correct tail-set and carriage. Moved at correct pace allowing her to give a balanced fluid brisk round cover with effortless action. BCC BOB
