PD 4(2) Shopland’s Piechottka Incredible Hulk. Promising youngster of nearly 12 months, broad skull with hazel eye, good stop and muzzle, well defined chin, liked his expression, muscular neck and nicely placed shoulder, good top-line and strong rear, strong bone and feet, moved out freely, presented in clean coat and condition, BP. 2. Kenyon’s Desquire Devil’s Dance. 11 months old where I preferred the overall head qualities of 1, broad masculine head, good bone and feet, broad chest, good neck, not as sound in top-line as class winner, good proportions, presented in clean condition but very erratic and unsettled on the move today. JD 1(0) 1. Reilly’s Kensesqui Cuckoo. 15 months old, masculine head and expression although I would like to see more detail in his skull, good eye shape and stop, strong muzzle, good bone, nails require attention, good depth to chest and strong top-line, sound body proportions, he showed some clean movement in profile but untidy going away from me in the rear.

1. Ansell/Beaty’s Malitac Headliner. 21 months old with masculine broad head, good eye colour and shape, good stop, strong muzzle, good chin, lovely expression, good feet and bone, deep chest, good rib, strong loin, good enough angulation, he moved out with a free gait, well handled. LD 3(1) 1. Ansell’s Justlazare Darknight Rises. 4 year old dog who I have judged before, lovely type, well proportioned head with good width, good stop, lovely expression, excellent chin, nails require attention, good bone and forechest, sound proportions, he moved out freely in his class and I considered him for further honours but today he just wasn’t ‘playing the game’ in the challenge, well presented and handled. 2. Kenyon’s Biscay Winston for Desquire JW. 2½ years old, masculine head and expression, strong muzzle and good chin, very broad skull, good bone but legs could be straighter, broad deep chest, sound in top-line, lacked animation on the move today, coat in good condition.

Boswell/Kirk/Kenyon’s Desquire Halo On Fire. 11 months old, feminine head and expression although would like a better shaped eye, good ears, strong muzzle, strong bone, good depth of chest, top-line could be better, she was quite erratic on the move but when she settled into her stride she showed a free easy gait, presented in good coat. 2. Beaty/Heaton’s Malitac Esta.
