Dogs

Puppy

1: MILES, Mrs Joan & DEAN, Miss Sarah & CULLEN, Mrs S Skyline's Outlander At Lekkerbek (imp Usa), 10 month and already all of a piece. His outline is so typical and really eyecatching. Super for head properties and a superb expression. Coat of good colour and texture. Moved out on the right track when he put his mind to it, which is endearing. BP

2: TRUELOVE, Miss Cerys & COMPERAT, Mr John-Marc Bargeway Boomerang,10 month and in super coat and condition. I liked his head and expression, and he is super sound on the move. Slightly longer than the winner but still a very decent prospect.

Limit

1: ROSE, Mr G & Mrs S Dianakeees Inspector Morse At Esorkees, very decent dog with the most exquisite head and expression, he is the correct shape and is in full coat and good colour. Moved on the right track and kept an outline. In the challenge he moved out well which clinched him a well-deserved CC. His title can not be far off.

2: LINDSAY, Mrs S Mezanda Mystic Starman, another decent dog of slightly different type. He too has a decent expression and is in good coat of good colours. Slightly longer that the winner, moved out well and has a decent action in profile.

3: SAUNDERS, Miss J Liefkees Amore

Open

1: RING, Mrs Jane Neradmik Shine On Harvey Moon, very decent dog for type and shape, he has the most super head and expression, decent for topline and well-set tail. Good colours and in full coat. Moved out well in profile and true on the out and back. In the challenge he faltered slightly on the out and back and this cost him. Title bound though, I have no doubt.

2” MARSHALL, Mrs & Mr Vikki & Sean Arabesque At Devonia (Imp Rus), another very decent dog and he too has a lot to like about him as he is pleasing to go over. Not quite the expression of the winner and that tipped the scales in the class. Champion quality for sure

Veteran

1: HICKSON, Miss Natasha L & HICKSON, Mr Colin Ch Kichigai's Only The Lonley, 9-year-old in fine form and so very typical in outline. Super head and expression and coat of good colours. Moved out very well. His type and action in the challenge made him a very worthy RCC and BV.

2: MILES, Mrs Joan & CULLEN, Dr Kristen & CULLEN, Mrs Ch Rossvale's Legacy For Lekkerbek, 11-year-old looking great for his age. He has the most delightful head and expression and is eye-catching in outline. Just not as fluid on the move as the winner today.

3: LINDSAY, Mrs S Mezanda Merry Starshower

Bitches

Junior

1: MARSHALL, Mrs & Mr Vikki & Sean Devonia's Hakuna Matata JW, really super young lady who has real potential. Yes, she naughty and gives her handler a hard time but she is quality and her shape eyecatching. When she thinks about it, she moves on the right track. Delightful head and expression and coat of good colours. She should carry a title with ease, and she was a serious contender for higher honours today. She, however, had other ideas.

Post Grad

1: SAUNDERS, Miss J Liefkees Aleida, truly naughty but charismatic, she has super shape and a delightful expression. Not over coated so her outline can be seen. Moved out well and held her outline.

Limit

1: SHARP-BALE, Mrs J Neradmik Shimmer N Shine (Imp), fully mature and pleasing in outline, she has a delightful head and expression. Sound on the move and holds herself well, could just benefit from, maybe, being moved a tad quicker.

2: HOPKINS, Mrs D Serenaubach Andromeda, not quite the head and expression of the winner, but she scores in front angulation and was very well presented and has a coat of good texture and colours. Moved out well in profile, just a tad erratic going away today.

Open

1: BARDSLEY, Miss C Skathki Emerald City, very decent bitch for size and shape. Delightful outline and super head and expression. In good coat of good texture and colours. On the move she has a typical action in profile and was precise on the out and back. Very decent front angulation which clinched the class for her. In the challenge she stepped up a gear and could not be denied. CC & BOB and delighted to hear that this was her well deserved crown.

2: RING, Mrs Jane Ch Neradmik Tantrums N Tiaras, another whose type and shape appealed. She too had a super expression and super for colours. Just not the front action of the winner today but very close up. RCC

3: SAUNDERS, Miss J Liefkees Adina

Veteran

1: HILL, Mr & Mrs A & S Ch Whizzkees Ebony Silver For Plymkees JW Sh.CM VW, 7-year-old in form and superbly presented. On her toes and coat of clear colour. Very sound on the move and true in action. Can see why she carries a well-deserved crown as she is a credit to the breed.

22: PASSMORE, Mrs Alison & PASSMORE, Mr Ivan Ch Torrikees Victoria's Secret, 12-year-old with a delightful outline, super head and expression, just not the fluidity of the winner in profile but another absolute credit.
