Veteran Dog (1)

1. Plushcourt Hallmark

Strong, masculine dog, quite tall dog, I would not want him any larger. Very good skull, attractive expression. Somewhat long in muzzle. Pleasing neck, well set. Stood well over his front. Firm topline, well set tail. Moved well from the side, could be somewhat more stable coming and going. Best Veteran and Reserve Best Male.

Puppy Dog (2)

1. Plushcourt Grandee

Rough puppy with a very good temperament. He has a masculine with good ears and a pleasing expression. Good rise of neck. Enough length of leg and with a corresponding length of body. Quite pleasing front. Tail could be higher set. Moderate angulation behind. Pleasing coat quality. Moved well from the side. Best Puppy

2. Plushcourt Leprechaun

Sturdy and well proportioned dog with very good length of leg, if at this time a little high behind in his balance. Typical head and expression. He cringed in movement and thus did not make the most of himself on the move. Excellent short coat.

Junior Dog (1)

1. Plushcourt Gospel Truth

A very attractive dog for type and outline, if not as strong in temperament as one could wish. Very typical, masculine head, lovely ears and eyes. Long neck, well set. Excellent topline and very pleasing body proportions, including length of leg. Excellent coat. A very good mover, but not consistently wanting to show his tail. Would be well worth working with as this is a really good dog. Best Male and BOS.

Post Graduate Dog (2,1)

1. Plushcourt Cosmic Energy

Strong, masculine smooth dog, rather short on legs for optimal proportions. Strong head. He creates wrinkles in his brow when he is worried which makes him even more worried. Good ears. Strong neck, if rather heavy over his shoulders. OK topline and tailset. Needs more angulation behind. Difficult to assess in movement as he tended to loose balance and not as co-ordinated as I would have liked.

Open Dog (2,1)

1. Plushcourt Bear Witness

At three year old, this male has a pleasing outline, but he needs quite a lot more substance of body. Attractive head with very good expression. Very pleasing ears. Enough length of leg. Good tailset, but could use his tail more actively. Would prefer more drive in his movement.

Veteran Bitch (2,2)

Puppy Bitch (2)

1. Plushcourt Gypsy Moth

Feminine bitch with an attractive head and expression. Acceptable bite. Excellent ears. Moderate neck. Topline could be straighter and tail could be higher set. Good rough coat. Pleasing temperament. Moved quite well when she decided to co-operate.

2. Plushcourt Giggling

A bitch puppy that at this time is all legs. I would prefer a shorter head overall, long ears. Good rise of neck. OK topline. Gave a too leggy impression on the move as well and will take some time to achieve her mature balance.

Junior Bitch (2)

1. Plushcourt Amethus for Colourbox

A well proportioned bitch, well up on legs with a corresponding body length. Refined head, still not fully matured. Very good expression and ears. Long neck. Pleasing front angulation. Good topline, but falls away more than ideal over the croup and could have a higher tailset. Still moved quite well. Very pleasing rough coat ResBest Bitch

2. Plushcourt Pearl

Strong, short bitch. Her head corresponds with her proportions, also strong and short. Very good ears. Rather heavy over the shoulders. Tended to roach her topline standing, but evened out somewhat on the move. Moved with her tail up, but could carry her head more proudly and could be more co-ordinated.

Post Graduate Bitch (4,2)

1. Plushcourt Gibberish

Rough bitch with reasonable length of leg, sturdy, but too long in her body. Pleasing skull, I would prefer a shorter muzzle. Good ears. Pleasing rise of neck and quite well angulated in front. Topline could be firmer, more so in movement. Excellent coat. Moved reasonably well from all angles, but needs more pride and a higher tail carriage.

2. Plushcourt Fairy Story

Bitch of better proportions, although too short in body. Feminine head. Strong neck. Short in brisket and lacks angulation behind. Did not move well on the day.

Open Bitch (2)

1. Plushcourt Gizelle

Smooth bitch of excellent type and quality and in a class of her own in the entry. Feminine and very well proportioned and with a very smart outline. Lovely head with the typical pyramid shape and excellent head proportions. Flat skull, excellent ears and eyes. Strong topline. Full of herself and with the attitude that the breed should have, she moved around the ring like she owned it. Could win anywhere. Best Bitch and BOB.

2. Plushcourt Guessing

Larger bitch, well up on legs, a bit longer in her proportions, but reasonable. Very pleasing coat. Reasonable mover from all directions.
