Puppy Dog (1)

1. Ragus Putting on the Ritz

At seven months old, this is a very attractive puppy. Excellent head, already with width of skull. Well set and carried ears. Lovely expression. Moderate neck, well set into shoulders. Very good forechest. Enough length of leg, if not the shortest of bodies. Very well ribbed and already deep chested. Balanced angulation. Excellent coat, well trimmed. Moved well from all angles.

Junior Dog (1)

1. Ragus War Paint

Young dog of excellent type and quality. Excellent, masculine head and expression. Strong neck, well set into shoulders. Compact, deep and capacious chest and body, certainly not at the expense of length of leg and mobility. Well set tail, to be critical not optimally carried – which could be said for the majority today. Excellent coat, well trimmed. Moved very well from all angles and with something in hand won the CC & BOB

Limit Dog (1)

1. Ragus Oh Boy

Short and compact dog of excellent type. Enough length of leg for balance. Masculine head with good width of skull. Ears somewhat wideset. Dark, expressive eyes. Strong neck. Firm topline. Well set and carried tail. Excellent coat, very well trimmed. He moved well from the side, but with a tendency to side-track. resCC

Open Dog (2,1)

1. Belleville I’m at Pipsacre JW

Masculine dog of pleasing size, but quite long in his couplings, I would prefer him overall more compact. Masculine head, ears rather wide-set. Excellent eyes. Moderate neck. Firm topline. Well set tail. In a good jacket. Sound, positive mover.

Minor Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Noragad Fun Run

A very attractive bitch puppy for her outline and proportions, but needs to develop quite a lot more substance and bone with maturity. Hopefully there will be significantly more of her when she grown up, but that remains to be seen. Very feminine in head, needs to widen. Excellent ears. Strong, short topline. Good tailset. Excellent coat. Lovely temperament, well presented.

Puppy Bitch (4,1)

1. Elantiz Autumnal Spice

Outstanding bitch of excellent type and quality, already very well developed and compact. Just enough length of leg. Excellent head with excellent expression from her neat ears and expressive eyes. Well set neck into shoulder. Well angulated in front. Firm topline, well set tail. Excellent coat, very well trimmed and presented. Moved well, retaining her balance. Stood away from the competition. CC and Best Puppy

2. Ragus A Fine Romance

Feminine bitch. Not quite the head of the winner with less top. Excellent neck. Looked very well proportioned on the stack, but somewhat longer on the floor. Excellent topline and tailset. Rather inconsistent on the move, but sound when performing.

3. Javidel Pillow Talk

Junior Bitch (2)

1. Elantiz I Am Who I Am

A sturdy bitch who stood very well over her front. Attractive, balanced and expressive head. Excellent neck. Good neck. Excellent front. Firm topline, but could be shorter in body. Good tailset. Would prefer some more angulation behind. Maintained her balance on the move and used her legs quite well.

2. Pipsacre Along Came Polly

Bitch on the fine side, could do with more substance. The same thing goes for her head. Excellent expression, good ears. Firm topline. I would want no more weight than this. Acceptable coat.

Post Graduate Bitch (2)

1. Ragus Under My Spell

Well proportioned and in many ways attractive bitch, compact. Lovely, feminine head and expression. Dark eyes. Rather large ears. Pleasing neck. Could do with some more angulation, but just enough. Firm topline. Well set tail. Excellent coat, well trimmed. Nice and easy on the move with moderate extension

2. Ragus Another Button

Very feminine, short-coupled and compact bitch on the fine side. I would prefer more strength of head. Firm topline. Quite pleasing coat. Could carry herself better on the move.

Limit Bitch (1)

1. Pipsacre Spring Tide

Feminine bitch, well proportioned and short-coupled. Well shaped head with good ears and pleasing expression. Could be firmer in her outline and rather high behind in her balance, especially on the table. Very good coat quality. Normal, sound mover.

Open Bitch (5,1)

1. Jaeva In The Purple

Very smart black and tan bitch of excellent type and quality, if not the shortest in body. Excellent skull, but would not want her longer in muzzle, excellent eyes and expression. Plesing rise of neck. Firm topline. Deep and capacious chest. Balanced angulated both ends. Well set tail if again not perfectly carried. Above all she came into herself in movement and was the most athletic and energetic mover of them all. resCC

2. Javidel Smart Girls Dnt Talk

Feminine bitch on the finer side. Well proportioned and balanced within herself. Feminine head. Could make better use of her ears and neck. Balanced angulation. Pleasing topline. Quite good mover, if not up to the winner.
