1st: SWINGE, Miss M Ch Harpersband Case In Point At Balthazar (Imp Rus

8 years R/R dog, large head, dark eye and large open nostrils. Good bone, legs and feet, carried a good body. He gave a good account of himself on the move and displayed a good length of stride.

2nd: GRUNINGER, Miss J Darkle Roger The Cabin Boy

This 9 ½ B&T also has a large head with plenty of work in it, big expressive eyes, decent bone, good feet and carried a solid firm body. he moved out well but didn’t quite have the stride of the first in profile. Never the less a quality boy.

1st: ALLEN, Mrs C & SELBY, Mr M & WHITEHEAD, Miss F Zilcan Toy Story

This R/S is well off for body and bone, masculine head, well ribbed body, can lose his topline at times when standing, good coat, well set tail, powerful hindquarters which he used to advantage and this carried him through to win this class and eventually Best Puppy in breed. Pleased to see him placed in the Puppy Group.

2nd: HUGHES, Mrs Maria Louise Bruneaver Space Oddity From Beauborne

Another R/S who is true to type, large head with a good expression, well boned front, strong topline, moved ok but today didn’t quite have the drive or the accuracy of the winner. In super coat and condition, carried himself well and gave a good outline in profile.

1st: SELBY, Mr Mark & WHITEHEAD, Miss Fiona & ALLEN, Mi Ch Zilcan Action Man

This 18mths R/S appealed greatly as he entered the ring, very stylish and true to breed type. Head of good proportions, dark eye with a keen alert expression, strong over the neck and shoulder, good front assembly, his short deep body give the cobby appearance I was looking for. Level topline and well set tail. On the move he was true out and back and circled the ring with style. Pleased to award him the CC & BoB.

2nd: CONWAY, Mrs J Stormjac Roland Rat In Black

This B/R has a large masculine head, true front, strong solid well ribbed body, coat of good texture. Today he was a little unsure of himself and didn’t appreciate the surroundings, this made him a touch erratic on the move coming and going.

Class LD (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: SELBY, Mr Mark & WHITEHEAD, Miss Fiona & HANNIGAN, Zilcan Parker

This R/R is thick set all through, large head, strong bone,his coat was past its best and made him look a tad stuffy which is not the case, well ribbed solid body with a good topline. He was true on the move out and back and retained his outline in profile.

2nd: PROUVE, Mr L & MORAN, Mr A Zilcan Helios Avec Castafiore

A quality R/S who uses himself well standing and on the move, well balanced but not the body or the rib of the first, large head with a good expression, clean over the neck and shoulder. On the move he was accurate out and back.

3rd: BLORE, Mrs Val H Movalian Musketeer

Class OD (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: ALLEN, Mrs C & SELBY, Mr M & WHITEHEAD, Miss F Ch Zilcan Monkey Business

I have long been a fan of this boy and he is a quality Griffon. Today he had to be content with the res CC to his kennel mate who had a touch more length to his stride in profile. He is a lovely size and the correct make and shape, with a quality head, well boned front, strong neck, well ribbed body, powerful hindquarters.

2nd: SWINGE, Miss M Balthazar Supersonic ShCEx

A size larger than the first but again well balanced, neat front, sufficient rib and body, good bone, coat of good texture. On the move he pleased me coming and going and retained his topline in profile.

1st: BARNEY, Mrs D Cilleine Idylle

This R/S ws not too sure of her surroundings today, lovely clear red, good head and expression, well ribbed body, today she tended to fall away to the croup when she dropped her tail, good bone, legs and feet. When she settled displayed a good length of stride in profile but was a touch unsettled out and back.

2nd: ETHERINGTON, Mrs J Thornwyde Jezabel It Was You

This R/S needs to mature all through, currently she needs to drop and thicken over the rib and loin, her topline falls away to the croup, coat in good condition. On the move she was ok coming towards but a touch close going away.

Class JB (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: BARNEY, Mrs D M & SPITTLE, Miss J Cilleine Quintessential

This R/R has a good head and eye, well set ears giving the correct expression, strong topline, decent rib, good bone, could carry a touch more body to advantage. On the move she was positive, good drive from the rear and held her outline in profile.

2nd: BARNEY, Mrs D Cilleine Idylle

1st: BARNEY, Mrs D M & SPITTLE, Miss J Cilleine Quintessential

2nd: KENYON, Mrs K M Movalian Red Diamond

R/S smart and alert, feminine head which is well balanced, decent topline, coat in good condition, sufficient bone for her size, not the drive from the hindquarters of the first and this could be that she was not settled on the move.

3rd: MARTIN, Miss Alice Cilleine Quadrille Avec Carradine

Class LB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: SELBY, Mr Mark & WHITEHEAD, Miss Fiona & ALLEN, Mi Zilcan Sparks Might Fly

This smooth gave a good account of herself on the move coming and going, expressive head but could have a touch more width to her jaw. Presented in good coat and condition, solid body, at times she can a little careless when standing and can dip in topline however she kept her outline on the move. Res CC

Class OB (4 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: SWINGE, Miss M Ch Balthazar Pillow Talk

This 3 years R/R is so true to breed type, large head of the correct proportions, well boned front, good legs and feet. Solid well ribbed body, decent neck and shoulder, well muscled hindquarters which she used to advantage. For me today she carried touch too much coat but this didn’t detract from her overall construction. Pleased to award her the CC.

2nd: HUGHES, Mrs Maria Louise Beauborne Pussycat Doll

This fine coated smooth gave a good account of herself and was alert as she moved, sufficient bone, decent neck, could be a touch tighter in elbow. She retained her outline in profile but was a touch untidy coming towards.

3rd: CONWAY, Mrs J Stormjac Black Pearl For Es

Class SBB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: MARTIN, Miss Alice Cilleine Quadrille Avec Carradine

This 17 mths bitch could carry a little more weight to advantage as she currently has a little too much tuck up. On the move she could have a little more drive from the rear. Nice head and eye and handled to advantage.
