Puppy Dog (1)

1. Callowdale Tenzin Nyima

Well grown puppy dog, at this stage he has grown up on his legs and gives a square impression. Typical, masculine head with good width of skull for age, strong muzzle, correct bite. Attractive neck, well set into shoulder. Firm topline, well set tail. Needs to gain more width in the lower part of his brisket and is narrow between both his front legs and his hindlegs at this time. Moved OK from the side, but needs to stabilize quite a lot both ends. Coat starting to come through over his back, but is still very soft everywhere else.

1. Ch. Wandak Forrest For Callowdale

Very impressive dog of excellent type and quality, he combines beautiful breed type with soundness. Lovely, masculine head and expression with excellent width of skull and a full muzzle. Darkest of eyes. Excellent ears. Long and strong neck with an attractive mane. Firm topline, if critical I would have preferred him a little longer in his body for optimal proportions. Well set and carried tail. A seldom seen excellent mover from the side and in front, reasonable from behind, better than most. In a lovely coat. He gave an impressive performance moving around the ring. Lovely!!! CC & BOB.

Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Callowdale Tibet Takiri

At seven months old, this bitch ahs come quite a long way. She is very sound and very pleasing in movement. Head under development, decidedly feminine, but with a pleasing width of skull. Good rise of neck. Strong, firm topline, could be a little longer. Well set tail. Moderate angulation both ends. She is an athletic and sound mover from all angles. In a good top coat, if not with as much underwool as could be hoped for. Best Puppy

Post Graduate Bitch (2,1)

1. Power of You from Gom-khyi At Sagrael

A bitch of excellent breed type. She is well proportioned and has excellent substance all through. Very attractive feminine head with excellent skull and width of muzzle. Could do with some more stop, but excellent expression from her dark and well placed eyes and the ears framing her face. Attractive mane for a bitch. Strong neck. Deep and capacious body, strong topline, well set and carried tail. Could put some more energy into her movement and perfect her coming and going, nevertheless an impressive bitch. ResCC.

Limit Bitch (5,3)

1. Power of Love from Gom Khyii at Callowdale

An athletic and sound moving bitch of pleasing proportions, if only enough length of leg. Her skull is rather short and rounded, which takes away from her expression, even if she has a good muzzle and ark eyes. Strong neck, well set. Excellent topline, somewhat rectangular in her body proportions. Well set tail. Excellent angulation both ends and very good bone. She is a very sound and balanced mover from all angles, excelling in soundness over breed type.

2. Tamdrin Richchen

Strong bitch with an attractive outline. Correct almost flat skull of good width, but too long in muzzle and with too much lips, her head is rather foreign. Good rise of neck, well angulated in front. Deep and capacious chest, well set tail. Needs to be much sounder coming and going and to show more animation and balance from the side. In a very good coat.

Open Bitch (3)

1. Ch. Seii Taishougun Brilliance Star From Skaijak

Impressive bitch, blue and tan. At six years old, she combines breed type with soundness. Typical head with excellent skull and a muzzle befitting a bitch. Excellent rise of neck. Lovely bone. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Moderate angulation behind and could do with some more turn of stifle. In a full body with depth and width. Excellent coat. Moved soundly coming and going, but I would have liked to see some more drive. Still an impressive representative of her breed and sex, well worth her CC.

2. Callowdale Midnight Star

Strong yet feminine black and tan bitch. Pleasing skull, still not the head qualities of the winner. Firm and strong in neck. Deep and capacious chest. Rather down in pastern. Beautiful coat and excellent muscular condition. Moved nowhere near as sound coming and going as the winner, but moved with plenty of animation from the side.
