Puppy Dog (2)

1. Jaschin Paw Star

A typically dainty and elegant your puppy of excellent type and quality, masculine, if looking his age and both his front and his coat is under development. He has a very pleasing round skull and a typical shocked expression. Could do with some chin with maturity. Good rise of neck. Very good topline and tailset, excellent body proportions. Correct amount of bone. Moved with daintiness and ease and excellent balance from the side. resCC and Best Puppy

2. Sharlarna It’s All About Me at Linjato

This is a more developed dog, but not quite as stylish and dainty as the winner. Strong character, not at all shy. Expressive head. Lovely coat. Not very accessible in movement as he took off in a overly enthusiastic manner.

Junior Dog (2)

1. Jaschin Working Man I Am

A stylish dog, scoring in daintiness on the move. Well rounded skull, pleasing shocked expression. Would prefer chin, but he has a well placed nose. Pleasing rise of neck, well set. Firm topline. Very good tailset and tail carriage. I liked his movement as he is light and easy and with some lift to his front movement. In a pleasing coat.

2. Capevudkes Chinook

Typically square dog, but not as dainty as the winner. Pleasing skull, but would prefer better cushioning and overall a more open face and not the expression I am looking for. Firm topline, quite good tail. Lovely coat quality. Not the movement of the winner.

Post Graduate Dog (1)

1. Sangria Ps I Love You

Strong, masculine dog, I would prefer him more up on legs compared to his length of body. He scores in soundness both standing and on the move. Good size, masculine head with a well rounded skull and good cushioning. Deep brisket. Firm topline. In a very good coat. He moved soundly, but I would prefer more daintiness and no more bone than this.

Limit Dog (2,1)

1. Sharlarna Swindler JW

A very typical square dog with elegance combined with masculinity. Pleasing size head with well rounded skull and very good ears. I would prefer somewhat darker eyes and they could be larger, but his expression was happily saved by the white in the corner of his eyes to give him the typical shocked look. Good rise of neck, well set. Firm topline. Well set tail that should not be carried any higher. He is a highly typical, dainty mover from the side and also very sound from behind. He stood out for lovely breed type and I was pleased to award him the CC

Open Dog (2,1)

1. Ch. Sharlarna Evolution At Linjato

Typical square dog with a large head and well rounded skull. Could show more expression. Moderate neck. Firm topline. His high tail carriage is somewhat disturbing to his silhouette. Lovely coat quality. Moved narrow behind, toed in in front and could lift himself more off the ground from the side.

Veteran Dog (1)

1. Sangria War Lord

At eight years old, this dog is very sound and masculine, but not as dainty as I would prefer. Strong, masculine head, could be more rounded and show more expression. Strong neck, well set. Firm front. Strong topline, well set tail. I would not want any more bone than this. Rich coat. A very sound mover from all angles.

Minor Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Sharlarna Lady Danger For Hermosoangel

Eight months old bitch, well up on legs, elegant and dainty, if a little long in body. Head under development, expressive. Enough neck. Firm topline, well set tail. Needs to develop some more angulation behind with maturity. Pleasing coat. Moved quite well from the side, but unstable behind.

Puppy Bitch (2)

1. Sharlarna Symply Nigella

A feminine bitch with an attractive head, but too short on legs for optimal balance and at this time overly bodied. Excellent skull, expression and nose placement if on the short side. Could do with some more chin. Firm topline. Well set and carried tail. Could loose some weight. Lovely coat. Sound mover, if not particularly dainty.

2. Spiritisle Lil Miss Muffet

A bitch with better length of leg. Her head is under development and her nose could be higher placed. Long neck. Firm topline, longer than my ideal. Difficult to assess on the move as she did not carry herself very well and mostly jumped around.

Junior Bitch (1)

1. Spritisle Queen of Hearts

A feminine young bitch, well up on legs, but rather long cast in her body. Feminine head, rather plain, could do with better nose placement, if well rounded skull. Enough neck. Strong topline, if rather long in loin. Tail could be higher set. Moved soundly from behind and from the side, could stabilize in front. Pleasing coat and colour.

Post Graduate Bitch (2)

1. Sharlarna Conchita For Meglind

Elegant, feminine bitch, she scored heavily in her expression with her large, dark eye showing white in the corner. Skull could be rounder. Excellent neck, well angulated in front. Firm topline, if on the longer side. Lovely coat quality. She moved with daintiness, but the high tail carriage ala Papillon was rather disturbing.

2. Spiritisle Fairy Magic

Feminine, elegant bitch with nowhere near the expression of the winner. Medium neck. Rather weak in pastern, correct hare feet. Pleasing topline and tailset. Not very sound in her front movement.

Limit Bitch (3)

1. Somergemz Balenciaga

Well proportioned bitch, dainty. Would prefer a larger head, very feminine. She held her neck well at all times. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Typical feet. Needs to stabilise in her front movement, but moved quite well from the side and with daintiness.

2. Threadgold Starstruck JW

Strong bitch, I would prefer less substance for my preference. A very good head with excellent size and typical expression. Well set neck. Well developed body, I would prefer her shorter coupled. Lovely coat. Well presented. A sound mover, but could be more dainty.

3. Spiritisle Angel Delight

Open Bitch (4)

1. Ch. Jaschin First Edition

Elegant, dainty bitch of excellent type and quality. Very feminine, well up on legs and close to square in her proportions. Typical head with well rounded skull, lovely eyes with some white in the inside corner. Pleasing rise of neck. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Very good coat quality and with an amount of coat that enhanced her daintiness. Moved well from all angles and at all times with that all important daintiness. CC & BOB

2. Ch. Sharlarna Eye Candy JW

Typey bitch with a well shaped, rounded skull and excellent expression, short nose. Well cushioned. Excellent topline and tailset. Could do with more angulation of stifle. Moved very well from the side, but not as accurate coming and going as I would have liked.

3. Ch. Jaschin Paws For Applause

1. Ch. Swifthocks Paws For Thought JW

She has a typical head of very good size, well rounded skull, very well cushioned, showing some white in the corner of her eyes. Strong neck. Firm topline. Typical feet. Moderate angulation behind. Still moved like a youngster with plenty of animation. Lovely coat. resCC and Best Veteran
