1. Reilly’s Mangrove Xiphos Spartan Swordsman at Darmaror (imp BEL). Young male of just 6 months with a strong head and lovely expression, dark obliquely set eye, developing well in his front with good depth of chest and straight legs of good bone, compact feet, he held a sound top-line and was balanced and free on the move, presented in excellent coat and condition, BP.

2. Janes’ Kricarno King Lorek. Another young male of just 6 months, not quite as mature as 1st, he had a lovely eye and expression, his angulation was good front and rear, he had good proportions and a sound top-line, not quite as balanced as 1 on the move today, he was presented in a clean quality coat, he just needs to time to show his true potential.

1. Jasper’s Pafaxen Rewrite The Stars. This young male of 18 months appealed to me, he had a strong masculine head with lovely eye and excellent pigment, nicely angulated front and rear with good depth to his chest, straight legs of good bone and compact feet, he was clean and balanced on the move and was presented in excellent condition, his handler certainly got the best out of him today, delighted he later went on to win the Special Beginners Group, not sure he will be in this group for much longer.

2. Chang/Skiba’s Oonelladream Born To Run. Repeat.

1. Woolf’s Sabre Golden Ticket Du Pyrdanti (imp FRA). 3 years old, masculine strong head, dark eye, upright in his front structure, good feet and bone, would prefer better proportions overall, he had a decent top-line and good tail carriage but very untidy on the move and needs a little more condition.

1. Cochrane’s Pyroni Colours Of The Wind for Myatoksci (imp CAN). Bitch of nearly 8 years who belied her years, very feminine yet strong head, lovely expression, straight legs of good bone, compact feet, well set shoulder, good proportions and well ribbed, steady on the move, she was sound and balanced in all directions, presented in excellent condition, BV.

2. Reilly’s Multi Ch. Lisjovia Boris Bear. Male of 8 years, strong masculine head where I would prefer less stop, he has lovely angulation front and rear with good depth of chest, his proportions are correct and he carries a good top-line, today he was not himself, in fact he looked rather sad, he was untidy on the move and lacked condition for me today.

JB 3(1)

1. Cochrane’s Uttara Du Pyrdanti Myatoksci (imp FRA). 17 months old, feminine head with a lovely expression, today she was a little unsettled, lacked a little bone and her shoulder could be better set, she had nice proportions and was well ribbed back, sound in top-line, she was well muscled and fit, moved out ok, well presented in good coat.

PGB 5(1)

1. McBain/Holmes’ Polar Light Pride of America (imp USA). Feminine strong head with an appealing expression, correct stop and good skull, she had straight legs with good bone and compact feet, lovely depth of chest and well ribbed, she was sound and balanced on the move and I considered her for the RBCC.

2. Kenyon/Ward’s Charibere Reason To Dream at Kaianna JW. Another beautifully presented bitch of lovely quality, a little ‘aware of her surroundings’ she had straight legs of good bone and compact feet, correct body proportions, lovely outline standing and moving, just not quite as settled as 1.

1. Hopkins’ Lisjovia Sweet But Psycho for Austkins. 4 years old, feminine head and expression with correct stop, she had good legs and feet, nicely angulated front and rear, she could be sounder in top-line, she moved around the ring steadily with a balanced stride, preparation of coat could improve.

Church/Bamford’s Pafaxen A Million Dreams JW. 18 months, appealing head with a lovely feminine expression, she had good angulation front and rear and was sound in top-line, good body proportions and short loin, good depth of chest, would prefer cleaner movement going and on her return, presented in good coat.

SBB 2(0)

1. Newland’s Shanlimore Superstition. 3rd in PGB. 5 years old, feminine head and excellent temperament, good eye, straight legs and good bone, could be better angulated in front and rear, she had a sound top-line and moved out ok, she needs to lose a bit of weight to see a more typical picture.  

2. Newland’s Shanlimore Baby Love. 5 years old and litter sister to 1st, another who would benefit from shedding a few pounds, angulation was ok in front and rear but could be tidier on the move, another with a lovely steady temperament.
