Old English Sheepdog.

PD. 1st Shaggybo Mineral Mist. Fabulous pup of 8 months. Very forward for his age in body, coat and deportment. Excellent outline. Impressive head for proportions and strength all through. Excellent reach of neck. Good lay of shoulder and return of upperarm. Correct topline with slight rise over loins. Powerful rear. Excellent movement. Close-up in the challenge, will have a great future. BP & PG2. Super!

2nd. Meisan Roly Poly Angelo. Excellent baby of just 6 months. Obviously immature at this stage but has an excellent square profile, good conformation and moved out very well, totally sound in all directions.

3rd Jelabobs Paco Rabanne For Dantecar.

JD. 1st Kerjalee Evan Sent. A rather special young dog that must have a super future ahead of him, both in the breed and wider. He excels in outline, so square and gives the impression of great type and presence. Excellent head, strong skull with muzzle and large black nose to compliment. Excellent reach and arch of neck. Well laid front angles. Correct topline. Good rear angulation leading to low set hocks. Still needs time to develop in chest but his overall, sheer quality carried him through. Super junior coat, correct for age for texture and colour and immaculate presentation. Excellent mover, showing the typical breed gait. No hesitation in awarding him his first CC & BOB, good luck in the future.

2nd Melleonars Keep It Cool Branston At Jandoes. Another promising young male. Love his masculinity and excellent bone. Good shape which an excellent head, already plenty of strength to skull and muzzle. Not quite the reach of neck of 1s or accuracy of footfall on the move but he is impressive on the stack and moved out with a sound stride. Good coat for texture, density and quality.

3rd Excelente.

LD. 1st Mellowdee Pumpkin Patch At Applejem. A medium sized male with substance and bone to compliment his frame. Very square in outline. Medium neck leading to moderate front angles. Good rise to topline and muscular loins. Uses his rear well on the move and sound in hock action. Coat of good clear, pigeon blue.

2nd Niedersachen’s Pride Over Night Sensation At Storinblu. Close-up and I liked his excellent outline very much. Appeals in head properties with plenty of strength all through and a large, typical nose. Excellent neck and good angles front and rear. He is still young and needs to generally mature and drop fully into his frame. Coat typical for age with excellent presentation. Scopey mover from profile.

OD. Impressive class. 1st UK Ned Swiss Ch. Vigilat’s Rhapsody In Blue Via Bumblebob. A really impressive male from any angle. Superb head and muzzle, square, well proportioned showing strength. Excellent reach and arch of neck. Well laid shoulder and return of upperarm. Deep, functional chest. Excellent mature body with correct topline, correct ribs and well angled rear. Firm hocks. Moved very well, covers the ground the correct ‘bobtail’ gait. Excellent coat, correct break and presentation. Pushed all the way in the challenge, just preferred the Junior male’s rear moving away. Worthy Res CC winner.

2nd Ch. Mellowdee Mask Of Zorro. One I have admired from ringside. Super shape and very strong and masculine in outlook. A medium sized male that has a very good head, a touch short in neck. Deep chest. Balanced angles with quality bone. Quality coat, harsh texture, lovely colour and put down to the minute. Sound in all directions. Covering the ground with a moderate stride.

3rd Aust. Ch. Ottaba Right On Quewe.

VD/B 1st Ch. Zottels Honey Moon At Shaggybo. What a lovely 8 year old female this veteran is. I judged her as a baby in a stakes class and loved her then as I still do! Overall, a bigger-built female that still appeals for her feminine charm. Relatively square in outline. Good head, reachy neck leading to a soundly-constructed body. Quality bone. Very good topline. Enthusiastic mover. Dam to the BCC and BP today, so a producer too. BVIB. Full credit to her owner for keeping her in such great form.

PB. 1st Makaylen Savanna Pearl. Precious 6 month old pup giving a confident account of herself. Still a long way to go to reach full potential but she has all the basics and is of and excellent compact shape and a sound mover in all directions. Excellent puppy coat. Should have a bright future,

2nd Ambelart Light Fantastic At Juvalyn. Another promising 6 month old. Excellent outline, square and correct in head, angles and topline. Needs to tighten further out and back on the move but has a lovely attitude to the show ring and showed a good depth of stride from profile.

PGB. 1st Evertonian St. Domingo Girl. This pleasing young female is just approaching maturity looking good both in coat and general compactness of outline. Lovely head, feminine but has strength all through. Medium neck. A touch forward in shoulder but ok in upperarm. Correct topline. Moderate rear. Low hocks. Moved ok but could put a bit more into it. Correct coat for texture, density and an even, clear colour.

2nd Pi Starruy Sky Millanion. Feminine size with pleasing bone and body. Good head but could be a touch stronger in muzzle. Well ribbed. Topline ok. Well angled rear leading to low set hocks. Moved very well, sound in all directions. Needs to finish in coat.

3rd Starjanda Cosmic Dream.

LB. 1st Quemerford Magic Wish. A beautiful, feminine female that appeals greatly for her excellent outline further enhanced by an excellent reach and arch of neck. Wouldn’t change her anywhere with regards to conformation, just needing to fill-out in chest a shade more. Moved soundly with a typical ‘rolling’ gait. Beautifully presented coat, excellent break, density and colour clearing to an attractive pigeon-blue shade. Think she will gain her title soon, she thoroughly deserves it. Excellent.

2nd Twojos Little Miss Diva. An excellent functional female, quite workmanlike in outlook. Slightly larger-built all through and just off-square in outline, with excellent mature body and quality bone. Soundly made with a quality, harsh coat. Excellent mover, really powers around the ring with plenty of drive from low-set, sound hocks. Another in lovely condition and form. Liked her a lot too.

3rd Makaylen Majestic Lady.

OB. Great class of excellent mature females. 1st Ch. Shaggybo Spectacular Rival With Soulbobs. Had to be special to top the females here today and this super representative of the breed ticked all the boxes for me. In full coat and the most excellent shape she fills the eye on the stack and is impressive from any angle. Strong head with good length and strength to muzzle. Large nose. Muscular neck leading to a very good front assembly. Deep chest, big ribs and excellent body. Correct topline, showing gentle rise over muscular loins. Well angled rear. Enthusiastic mover, sound in all directions. Immaculate presentation, and although colour could be clearer, it has the correct break. A pleasure to award her the CC.

2nd Kerjalee Edna. A favourite of mine that I have done well in a Group when she was a youngster. Great to see here her here today, mature and the finished picture. So cobby in outline. Love her size and femininity but dosen’t compromise on body or quality of bone. Sound mover and a well prepared coat of excellent texture. Note she is the Dam of BOB today, so great to see she has passed her qualities on. Res CC.

3rd Mellowdee Fancy Nancy For Millwinkie.
