Minor Puppy Dog (7,1)

1. Bryelis The Boys Are Back in Town

The very first dog to walk into my ring today was this simply gorgeous six and a half months old puppy of excellent type and quality. He has ideal proportions and a stunningly lovely outline. Excellent head, strong and masculine and with excellent length and quality. Excellent ears. Long neck, crested and well set. Enough angulation in front. Excellent topline and well set tail. Long, well angulated hindquarters. Lovely skin and excellent socks and crest. He retained his lovely balanced on the move and moved very well indeed from all angles. A top dog by any measure, from the moment I set my eyes on him, I wondered if he could be beaten, and it turned out he could not. Best Puppy and CC.

2. Jassendue Amari

Another attractive dog, this one a powderpuff. He is large enough for his six months old and does not need to grow on. Attractive head with youthful ears. Pleasing neck. Excellent front angulation. Very attractive coat of very good structure. Topline could be a little firmer on the stack, but evens out on the move, and he moved with soundness and purpose.

3. Jassendue Arlo

Puppy Dog (5,1)

1. Bryelis The Boys Are Back in Town

2. Be My Dog’s Jonker’s Bonkers For Epiphany

Another very attractive, masculine dog, stallion-like and with quite a bit of the look of an arabian horse about him. Strong, masculine head, he could do with a little less skull, but has an aura of attitude that is very attractive. Ears a little highset. Not the front of the winner. Deep and capacious body. Excellent topline, covering very good ground. Beautiful skin and excellent crest. He moved very well indeed from the side, but could be more stable in his front movement.

3. Jassendue Arlo

Junior Dog (6)

1. Bryelis The Star Man JW

A well made, masculine powderpuff. He has a head with very good length and an excellent expression. Well set ears. Enough neck. Well angulated in his front. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Deep and capacious body. A sound and no nonsense mover, he scored over his closest competitors on soundness of movement.

2. Miatory Split Decision for Zanjero

Standing this dog is very attractive and well proportioned. Another with an attractive, masculine head with enough length and good ears. Crested neck, well filled in in front. Strong topline, but tending to slope in his outline and I would not want any more angulation behind. Lovely skin, excellent crest and socks. He moved with energy, but could be more focused and consistent.

3. Akdeniz Altair

Post Graduate Dog (8)

1. Riveralca Affric

Nicely proportioned powderpuff dog with elegance about him. I would not want a stronger skull than this, excellent ears. Enough neck. Well angulated and filled in in front. Pleasing topline and tailset. Not in the best of coat conditions, but he has pleasing structure. A nice and easy mover, quite sound coming and going and carrying himself well.

2. Riveralca Stenness at Khatira JW

Another powderpuff, not dissimilar to the winner, but somewhat shorter coupled and not quite the topline. I preferred his head to the winners. Pleasing expression. Moderate neck, quite good front, he stood well over his legs and feet. Deep and capacious body. He moved quite well from all angles, his tail carriage not being his fortune.

3. Pufflepaws Peruvian Party

Limit Dog (6,2)

1. Jean Dark Zimzallabim at Gemadar

Strong, masculine dog of pleasing size. He stood very well over his legs and feet. Could do with less width of skull, very good ears. Strong neck. Pleasing front. Correct feet. Deep chest. Very good topline, well set and carried tail. Excellent skin, crest and socks. A sound and purposeful mover even if not always making the very best of himself.

2. Ynchreenoo Masquerade

Elegant dog who looks his best in side movement. Quite attractive head, even if a little anxious in his expression. Very good ears. Not the front of the winner and still needs to develop in forechest at two years of age. Lovely skin. Excellent crest and socks. Moved well from the side, if not great coming towards me.

3. Keep Trying Heybett

Open Dog (10,2)

1. Ch. Kojki’s Love to Hate Me at Casacavallo JW

A very athletic dog, strong and masculine. He has an attractive head and expression. Excellent ears. Long and strong neck with a nape. Enough front angulation. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Well angulated behind. Excellent crest, socks and skin. Very dynamic in his movement and very stylish, if not small.

2. Ch. Joyways Im A Star at Bryelis

Eye-catching dog of very pleasing proportions. Another with a quality head and good nape of neck. Excellent topline, covering plenty of ground. Too much angulation behind for my preference. Lovely skin, crest end socks. Another who moved well, if not quite as well as the winner.

3. Ynchreenoo Black Magic at Katira ShCEx

Veteran Dog (2)

Two lovely veterans

1. Ch. Estilllinis Silver Surfer at Casacavallo JW

Nearly eight years old and a very attractive dog indeed. Masculine without lumber and excellent for size and shape. Strong, masculine dog with the darkest of eyes, excellent ears which he made full use of. Strong neck, very good front. Firm topline, well set tail, well angulated behind. He still has a lovely skin. Excellent crest and socks. A very sound, active and purposeful mover. ResCC.

2. Michadaine Crazy For You ShCM

Powderpuff with excellent proportions. I would not want him any bigger, be he has plenty of elegance about him. Strong skull, could do with some more refinement in that department. Attractive neck. Firm topline, well proportioned. Stood very firmly over his legs and moved well too from all angles.

Special Beginners Dog (5)

2. Jassendue Arlo

A puppy with a very pleasing balance, if having to mature inside his head. Quality, well shaped head, uncertain ears at this time. Pleasing rise of neck. Good topline. In a very pleasing coat. A normal, sound mover from all angles, but could be a little more confident in himself and make better use of his tail.

Excellent front, including layback of upper arm. Deep and capacious chest. Excellent topline. I would not like any more angulation behind. Excellent skin, crest and socks. She started out rather exuberant on the move and then tended to tuck herself up, but after letting out her steam she moved very well.

2. Chundercrest Estrella

Bitch on the finer side, very elegant and feminine. Not quite the head nor the bone of the winner, but she has a deep body covering good ground, excellent skin and comes alive in movement, where she is elegant and stylish and carries herself very well. Very good crest and socks.

Bitch of excellent size and long enough in body. Very attractive head and expression, if a little anxious in the ring. Deep and capacious chest, firm topline. Very good bone.

Quite well developed bitch of pleasing type, she has good body proportions and topline. Head with quality, but not using her ears much. Strong neck and plenty of front. Looks to have a false pregnancy on the day. Quite good skin. Moved with pleasing balance, but could be prouder of her tail and tends to lift her front legs more than ideal.

3. Konishiki Ventress

Post Graduate Bitch (7)

1. Bryelis Star A’traction JW

A very easy winner of this class. This bitch has plenty of type and is a real thoroughbred. Strong bitch head with excellent expression and beautiful ears. Long and crested neck. Good front. She covers plenty of ground both standing and moving, indeed I would not want her any longer than this. Lovely skin, crest and socks. An excellent mover, especially from the side and from the front, but could perfect her going away.

2. Runa Qeen Malverne of Middiwarx

A bitch who hunched up significantly on the stack and then looked far too short, but she came alive in movement and then covered a reasonable amount of ground. Strong bitch head, good ears. Strong neck. Deep chest. Well angulated behind. I would have wanted a smoother skin on her. Efficient mover from all angles.

2. Ch. Karamouche Parti Frock JW

Another quality bitch, larger and elegant. Lovely head and expression, excellent ears. Long neck. Moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline, could be a little longer.

A very attractive, elegant powderpuff bitch. Feminine, if not small. Beautiful head and expression. Pleasing rise of neck. Firm topline, covering ground. Very good front. Moderately angulated behind. Excellent coat quality. Kept her outline on the move and moved in synch with her owner, and when she got her tail up, she looked really good.

2. Ch. Myvallo Inclined to Dance at Elfallons

Attractive bitch. Stronger in head, lovely ears. Strong front. Pleasing topline. At ten years old, she has lost some of her strength in her hindquarters which showed up in movement from all angles, but she is still spirited and has energy in movement. Very good skin, lovely rest and good stocks.

Special Beginners (2)

1. Chundercrest Estrella

2. Betledgan Princess Ayla

A young and quite raw powderpuff bitch. She has elegance and femininity and a very pleasing head. Pleasing ears. Moderate neck. Firm topline, if rather short coupled. Not in a good coat condition with a definitely curly coat all over her head and body. Reasonable mover, but not the best of balances.
