Welsh Corgi (Pembroke)

MPD. 1st Twinan Swing On A Star. 7 month old pup showing promise and has a real look of quality about him. Already gives off a lovely outline, despite his tender age and lack of maturity with a good head, eye and ear set. Super neck. Balanced angles front and back. Strong bone and excellent tight feet. Moved around the ring confidently. Will follow his career with interest. BPD.

2nd Cherastayne Real Quiet. Another showing potential. Slightly younger than 1st and not as forward in body. Nicely balanced all through with ‘foxy’ head shape giving a typical outlook. Excellent ear set and carriage. Medium neck. Very well made just needs to firm-up all through. Sound in all directions. Well handled.

3rd Great By Lucky The Grand Budapest Story.

PD. 1st Born To Be Your C’est La Vie At Twinan. Just approaching a year and maturing into a very good representative of the breed. Excellent head shape with a medium, expressive dark eye. Uses his ears to best advantage. Ok in neck. Very good front assembly. Holds his outline well at all times. Strong rear. Moved with reach and drive.

2nd G. By Lucky The Grand Budapest S. 3rd in MPD. Much to like at this stage of development. Love his typical head and expression. Good to go over on the table with sound conformation. Moved ok, just needs time to tighten all through.

JD. 1st Brynlea Creslow Paint It Black At Cottivy. An outstanding youngster that pushed hard on the day for top honours. Excellent type, size and so well balanced in outline with regards to height to length proportions. Foxy head shape and outlook. Excellent medium -sized eye and uses his ears well. Moderate neck. Deep, functional chest. Good angles front and rear. Topline can firm-up a touch on the stack. Sound mover, really covers the ground. Super coat. Hope he gains his title soon as he thoroughly deserves to.

2nd Craigycor Golden Ticket At Twinan. An appealing young dog. Excellent for type, bone and substance. Super head and expressive eye. Enough neck. Very good shoulder and return of upperarm. Firm topline. Moderate rear. Moved very well from profile, just needs to settle a bit going away. Think he will have a great future. One for the future.

3rd Hortonpoint Blue Lagoon.

PG. 1st Unita Mentale Hollywood Paul At Eivisah. Smaller built in structure but masculine and enough substance for his frame. Well balanced in head and body proportions. Can firm-up a touch in topline. Excellent head, correct shape with defined stop. Medium-sized, well-set ears. Strong, short loins. Free mover and gave a good account of himself, showing his virtues to best advantage.

Super reach and arch of neck. Excellent front and rear angles. Deep chest. Holds an excellent topline at all times. In super coat and condition. Impressive mover from profile. Handled to bring out his best. Close-up in the challenge and another who will no doubt carry his title soon.

Sound out and back, driving well from the rear. Close-up here.

3rd Born To Be Your Hubolt Big Bang At Twinan.

OD. 1st Ch. Unita Mentale Ernesto. This quality red/white male excels in so many departments and bang-on for type and function. A medium sized male, but dosen’t compromise on strength, substance and bone. Excellent head, correct shape and proportions with flat skull and defined stop. Medium eye of good tone. Uses his ears to best advantage. Very attentive to his handler. Excellent angles. In good double coat. Free mover, just preferred the Veteran male’s rear moving away but a close-run thing.

2nd Hortonpoint Blue Lagoon. Very good young dog. Fairly mature for his age and pleases in head and body properties. Good neck and front assembly. Gives a good account of himself on the stack but needs to tighten all round on the move. Delightful temperament, really at one with his handler.

3rd T. Raise The Bar For F.

MPB. 1st Twinan Stars Above. Such a stunning youngster who completely fills the eye already at this early stage of her career and showing great potential. Beautiful head with excellent dark eye, well set-on ears and excellent reach and arch of neck. Excellent angles front and rear. Holds herself very well and so composed for her tender age. Still rather soft and loose which should all come together with maturity. Free mover just loved her and could have easily taken her home! BPB & BP.

2nd Twinan Chase The Ribbons. Litter sister to 1st and very similar in many ways. Liked her femininity, size and overall shape. Not quite as balanced in outline as her sister but equal quality and promise. Confident mover, sound and true in all directions. It must have been a quality litter.

3rd Twinan Rising Star At Highashes.

PB. 1st T. Chase The R.

Very good head, correct shape with defined stop and strength to skull. Eager showgirl, using ears to advantage. Muscular neck. Balanced angles front and rear. Moves out with a steady, sound gait. Well-presented and handled.

2nd Twinan Raise Your Game. Close-up. A stronger-built female, not as mature in body as yet but has an excellent outline with ideal height to length proportions. Excellent bone and tight feet. Correct head and outlook. Moves with reach and drives off well from firm hocks.

3rd Unita Mentale Kiwi.

PGB. 1st Monarchcor Lady Love. Was quite taken with this well-balanced female. Lovely size with excellent substance and depth all through but not appearing heavy in any way. Excellent ‘foxy’ head shape. Dark eye. Excellent ear set and carriage. Strong backline. Muscular quarters. Not quite in full coat but correct weather-proof texture. Moved with an easy, sound stride. A quality female that should have a great career.

2nd S. That’s Amore.

3rd Brownieglen’s Ghillie Dhu.

LB. 1st Twinan Loves Got A Secret. An eye-catching female, especially on the move with her excellent carriage and sound, lightness of movement. Good head, superb reach of neck, well angled front and rear. Has just enough depth of chest. Should easily gain her title. Another that appealed greatly. Handler got every inch out of her.

2nd Daleabbey’s Apple Pie At Brownieglen. Mature female. Nicely proportioned all through. Good head and very typical in outlook. Carrying enough weight. Good conformation holding her topline well both on the stack and on the move. Displays reach and drive with a moderate stride from profile.

3rd Anwyl In The Limelight At Solaw.

OB. 1st Ch. Penliath Bill Me Later. Having judged this excellent female at Group level, and twice giving her the top spot, it was great to have the opportunity to judge her amongst her contemporaries. For me, she really is a stand-out representative of the breed. Point for point there is little to fault but so much to admire. Moved out with such great enthusiasm and absolutely sound in all directions and immaculate footfall. Excellent coat and condition and superbly handled. Pleased to award her the CC and BOB. I gather she now holds the breed record…congratulations!

2nd Cottivy Strawberry Moon. A beautiful female, mature and looks the complete package. Excellent head and eye shape. Medium-sized, well-set ears used to enhance her expression and outlook. Strong neck, moderate in length. Excellent depth all through with deep, broad chest. Firmest of toplines. Stands on tight, oval feet. Excellent mover, plenty of reach and drive. Another that deserves to carry her title. Res CC.

3rd Monarchcor Lady Luck At Meitza.

VB. 1st Ch. Secret Starlight Express Into Ermyn. Standing alone but a worthy Ch female in the peak of condition. Excellent head, foxy in shape showing good proportions and strength to skull. Deep, roomy chest. Strong bone. Firm body. Has strength to quarters enabling her to power around the ring. Lovely veteran and credit to her owner for keeping her in such fine form.

GCB. 1st D. Apple Pie At B.

2nd A. In The Limelight At S. Stood 3rd in a good limit class. So much to like and at full maturity in good coat and strong body. Thick, double coat. Pleasing in most departments and shows herself to best advantage. Sound and true on the move.
