A very attractive puppy at only six and a half month sold. He has an attractive foxy head, even if he needs to widen a little in his skull with maturity. Well placed ears. Neck with a nape. Balanced angulation both ends and a very firm and straight topline. Long enough in his body. Excellent coat and colour. Moved well from all angles.

Puppy Dog (3,1)

1. Craigycor Golden Ticket by Twinan

A very attractive dog indeed, just my type of Pembroke. He has a beautiful outline covering an ideal amount of ground. Attractive head with a good width of skull, well placed ears. Could do with a stronger underjaw. Very good rise of neck. Well angulated in front. Beautiful clean outline. Well angulated behind. Excellent coat quality. Moved well, but could make a bit more active use of his tail. Best Puppy

2. Manonfach Rune of Chronos

An athletic dog and a very good mover Not as developed in his skull, nor quite the placement of eyes. Very good ears. Long neck. Needs to body up and not the cleanliness of outline of the winner. Very strong front, deep and capacious in his chest. Well angulated both ends. I prefer him a little longer. Moved very well and happily.

Junior Dog (5,1)

1. Brynlea Creslow Paint It Black at Cottivy

An outstanding dog of excellent type and quality. I like everything about him. Lovely proportions and outline. Low without excess and covering the exact amount of ground that I prefer. Typical, masculine head with well placed ears that should not be larger. Excellent rise of neck. Excellent front. Excellent topline and strong quarters. Lovely coat. He is an excellent mover as well. Truly outstanding. ResCC.

Another attractive dog, if not as developed nor as masculine as the winner. Typical head, but could be stronger in his muzzle. Very good ears. Medium neck.

Another attractive dog with very pleasing proportions. Ears are nor his fortune and his head is rather puppyish. Good rise of neck.

Special Beginners (3,1)

1. Haresfoot Fates Align, Best Special Beginner

2. Bababeira Kensington at Fablecroft

Minor Puppy Bitch (3)

1. Twinan Stars Above

Easily the one of these puppies who was the most mature in her balance and outline. Attractive head, but needs to grow into her ears with more maturity. Pleasing neck and topline, even if a little high behind at this time. Very good legs and feet. Beautiful coat. Moved soundly coming and going, but could concentrate more on the task at hand.

2. Twinan Rising Star at Highashes

Another attractive puppy, not too dissimilar to the winner, but more immature in her outline and balance at this time. Typical head and expression. Well set and carried ears. Medium neck. Topline awaits her mature shape. Good front. Deep and capacious chest. Very good coat and colour. Immature in movement.

3. Voodannyn Crimson Gold Fox

Puppy Bitch (4)

1. Peritye Amber Belle

Clearly a quality bitch, if a little leggy at this time. She has an attractive head with good width of skull and very good ears. Well set neck into shoulder. Firm topline, covering good ground. Could make some more active use of her tail on the move. Lovely coat. Used her legs well from the side and was quite sound coming and going as well.

2. Voodannyn Crimson Gold Fox

This bitch placed last in the previous class, but looked better when shown again. She is very feminine and needs to gain some more bone with maturity as well as more width of skull. Normal neck. Enough angulation both ends. Good spring of rib and quite a firm topline. Moved with normal soundness in this class, significantly better than before.

3. Unita Mentale Khambatta at Potbelli

Junior Bitch (4)

1. Saniaquinto That’s Amore

Well made bitch, strong, still feminine. Feminine head, needs to gain some more skull. Very pleasing ears. Medium neck. Very good front. Deep and capacious chest. Firm topline both standing and moving. Enough angulation behind. In a rich coat. She moved with energy and animation, tail carriage not quite her fortune and tending to make her look shorter on the move.

2. Kensesqui Ocean Amber

A very feminine bitch, well made, but she can gain some more strength with maturity. Same thing goes for her head, which is well made, but on the small side. Strong neck with a pleasing nape. Good forechest. Strong topline. She used her legs quite well on the move, but could do with some more ring training to get more carriage out of her.

3. Twinan Raise Your Game

Post Graduate Bitch (12,3)

1. Monarchcor Lady Luck at Meitza JW

A beautiful bitch of excellent type and quality, very eyecatching. Feminine head with good ears and attractive expression. Very long neck, bordering on too long for the breed and moderately well set. Very good forechest and layback of upper arm. Strong topline. Moderate angulation behind. In a very good coat. She is very much a show dog and moved very well from all angles and very animated, almost having to be held back when it comes to carriage and style. ResCC

2. Zlata Iz Byrshtunovogo Kraju at Manonfach

Another vey attractive bitch, not dissimilar to the winner, only a little less intense. Good skull, could do with a stronger muzzle. Expressive eyes. Strong neck, well set. Very good forechest and front angulation. Firm topline, deep and capacious chest. Moderately angulated behind. Another positive mover.

3. Monarchcor Lady Love

Limit Bitch (10,2)

1. Born to Be Your Dancing Queen at Twinan

A very attractive tricolour bitch with a beautiful outline, but even more so standing than moving. Typical, feminine head with a bit more stop than needed. Excellent neck into shoulder. Well angulated in front. Firm topline. Deep enough in her body. She made a really attractive silhouette. Lovely coat, very well presented and handled. Active, energetic mover, but not quite as firm in her outline on the move.

2. Woodhenge Star Attraction with Jasrolyn

Another well balanced sable bitch who made sense. She is feminine and well balanced. Attractive head and expression. Strong neck, could be longer. Firm topline, deep chest. Not in the best coat condition. An active and sound mover.

Another very attractive bitch, feminine and with a delightful expression and ears. Very pleasing neck. Rich forechest. Enough bone. Topline not up to the winner standing, but firming up on the move.
