Junior Dog (2)

1. Sincerity Kalimantan Cashar

A grizzle dog who is impressive in side movement. He combines substance with grace. Elegant head with enough width of skull, but could do with a stronger underjaw. Excellent ears. Long and strong neck. Deep chest. Pleasing proportions, but would prefer more arch to his loin. OK feet. He opened up well in movement, light and easy.

2. A’sim Sha’RIF Al Asmaanii

Strong, square dog. Refined head. Long neck, well set. Pleasing return of upper arm. Angular rather than graceful in his outline. Another who is easy on his feet and synchronized, but too proud of his tail in movement.

Post Graduate Dog (3)

1. Ravensett Ashkan

Elegant dog, two years old and still not at his very best. Refined head, needs more width of skull. Long neck. Well angulated in front, but still needs to develop more fill in front. Excellent long, well feathered feet. Pleasing topline with arch of loin. Balanced hindquarters. Moved very easily on his feet and kept his outline and balance well.

2. Sincerity Kalimantan Cashar

3. Mumtaz Aramis

Limit Dog (3,1)

 Two very good dogs.

1. Ravensett Musarra

A dog of excellent type, the star of the show. He has grace of outline and substance without any lumber. Ideal proportions and plenty of quality. Elegant head, enough width of skull. Long and elegant neck, well set. Balanced angulation both ends. Shapely body with an arch over loin. Very good feet. Especially impressive on the move, smooth, easy, light and with very good extension both ends. CC & BOB

2. Classicus Fuad

Another excellent moving dog. Big and strong, yet elegant. Excellent skull, could do with less lips. Strong, well set neck. Deep chest, pleasing topline. Strong hindquarters. Excellent feet. Another dynamic mover, keeping his shape, acceptable tail carriage. resCC

Open Dog (3)

1. Shahzad Zaki Ter Dolen

Upstanding fawn dog with quality about him. Elegant head, not the darkest of eyes. Long neck, well set. Deep and capacious chest. Pleasing topline, if falling off a bit too much over his croup. Typical feet. When he concentrated on the task, he moved effortlessly and with balance.

2. Ch. Fernlark Legend of Cornhaze

Black grizzle dog of pleasing make and shape and with balanced angulation both ends. Head rather short and could do with more expression. Very good neck into shoulder. Excellent return of upper arm. Quite shapely in his body. Moved OK if rather lacklustre.

3. Flytesfield Hyddwn

Veteran Dog (2)

 Two very good dogs, if rather different.

1. Berm.Ch. Barbey Hector At Dragonsmoon

Remarkably well preserved dog at almost 12 years old. Classical type. Substantial, yet still elegant, showing off his qualities well. Typical head and expression. Long and strong neck, well set. Deep chest. Excellent feet. Still active and energetic in movement, keeping his balance.

2. Jsy.Ir.Ch. Ulmarra Naa

Another very attractive veteran, combining substance with elegance. Elegant head. Long neck. Not in the best coat condition on his body. Moved with style and easy on his feet and provided serious competition for the winner.

Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Al Caliphs Sahara Beya

Very elegant, crème bitch. Still puppyish in her balance and outline, but definitely showing quality. Very feminine head, lovely expression. Correct earset and long neck. Very moderately angulated both ends, making for a pleasing balance. Very good underline. Moved very light on her feet and in sync with her handler. Best Puppy

Post Graduate Bitch (1,1)

Limit Bitch (2)

1. Ravensett Mehrasa

Very elegant red bitch, covering good ground. Refined head. Very long neck, I would prefer some more strength to it. Long brisket. Quite shapely topline. Low hocks. Used her legs well, but could be more collected on the move for my preference.

2. Classicus Ophelia

Fawn bitch of pleasing size and very light on her feet in movement. Typical head. Medium neck. Rather short coupled in her body. Correct feet. Could do with some more substance and bone. Well synchronized in movement if not great as viewed from behind.

Open Bitch (3)

1. Ch. Luachmhar Jadira Kasaque

A classical Saluki with excellent type and balance and an attractive outline and proportions. Typical head, dark enough eyes, well set ears. Well angulated in front. Beautiful underline. Balanced hindquarters. She moved soundly from all angles and kept her balance well, in sync with her handler. CC

2. Int.Lux.Belg.Ch. Nicokefahtru Del Borghino

Taller, elegant grizzle bitch, eyecatching and with a certain beauty about her. Elegant head. Long neck, well set. Very moderately angulated in front and would profit from some more. Smooth outline. Balanced hindquarters. Moved well fron the side, but not as impressive going away. resCC

Veteran Bitch (2)

1. Tigsisle Totally Unique

Classical Saluki bitch of excellent type and quality, combining substance with elegance and excellent proportions. Well balanced, typical head with good width of skull. Strong neck. Well angulated in front. Excellent topline and underline. Does not need any more angulation behind. Moved soundly from all angles, keeping her balance, but some more lift in movement would not go amiss. Best Veteran

2. Jazalle Arwyn

Seven year old, very elegant and feminine bitch. Attractive expression. Needs more fill in front. Pleasing outline. Light on her feet if not the soundest coming and going.
