Special Beginners

1st: 308 YATES, Mrs J & Mr M & YATES, Mr Mark Gailiech Barmstonson. 5 year old male, pleasing make and shape who was clean in outline. Masculine head, good planes, would like a slightly darker eye. Decent length of neck, little upright in front angulation, well ribbed back. Level topline good width to thigh. Just a little narrow all through. Good muscular development and moved with carriage in profile.

Minor puppy

1st: 287 SANDIFORD, Mr P & SANDIFORD, Mrs C A Hernwood Rocket Man

6 months and looking very promising. Lovely head with good work for his age, super dark eye and melting expression, well proportioned with the correct skull shape for his age. Arched neck of good length, balanced angles both ends. Strong bone and feet. Well bodied with good substance throughout. Level topline, good finish to his croup and width to thigh. Uses himself well on the move, just needs to firm up as he matures. A very nice prospect who I am sure will have a bright future.

Repeat

Junior

1st: 293 SMITH, Mrs C L Glenmaurangi Apollo At Glenkinchie

13 months with a pleasing outline. Masculine head with good work and a gentle expression. Good reach of neck and well made front assembly, still needing to fill in front as he matures. Level topline and well ribbed back, rather short through loin. Croup falls a little. Well made quarters and good muscle tone. Moved true out and back but being held back by the handler which caused him to roach his topline in profile.

2nd: 298 TIMMERMANN, Mrs Silvia & CORNUM, mrs Rhonda & WELL Munroc Castle Stalker At Shaker Hill

Pleasing head and expression, still needing to break and darken in eye as he matures. Good neck and shoulder, little short in return and picks up a little in front action on the move. Well bodied with good depth to his chest. Coup slopes a little. Quarters developing and muscling up. Just needs to settle on the move and work with his handler a little to get the best out of him. Faster isn’t always better on the move.

Post grad

1st: 256 COLLINS-PITMAN, Mrs Jean & COX, Mrs L Amscot Air Apparent

Very striking in outline, clean and well balanced not overdone and had good type about him. On the first stack he wasn’t settled with his handler and the picture became clearer the as the class went on. Masculine head of good proportions, with the correct amount of work, clean without coarseness and a kind eye and expression. Good reach of neck which was muscular and had a good crest. Well made front assembly with required lay back of shoulder and a good return of forearm. Level topline and well ribbed back, firm through the loin, still needing to fill in front a little and drop as he matures. Liked his finish to the croup and tail set. Good width to quarters, developed second thigh and in hard condition Moved with a care free manner, he was certainly enjoying being there and his temperament was superb. He covered the ground with a precise footfall, good extension both ends and had carriage. My Pleasure to award him the CC at this young age and I hope he continues to develop in the manner his potential shows.

2nd: 270 HOGG, Mrs Faye & HOGG, Mr Andrew Gailiech Ngalyod

Masculine head, slightly stronger in back skull. Correct in proportions. Good neck and shoulder. Well boned legs and neat feet. Ribbed back and firm loin.

Developed quarters with a good bend to the stifles. Moved true out and back but lacked a little drive on the move to begin with, as the class went on he stepped up his game and in the challenge he was on form. He is heavily coated and well presented, you need to get your hands on him to feel his construction properly. Pleased to award him the RCC.

2nd: 274 JOHNSTON, Mr Paul & JOHNSTON, Mrs Linda & JOHNSTON Ludstar Maccabee At Glenquin (Imp) It

Liked him for type and balance. Pleasing head, a little flatter in skull, kind and expressive eyes. Good neck and front assembly, good depth to forechest.
