PD (1,0) 1. Dosson’s Leggatts Part Time Lover, very exciting pup, lovely compact outline, correct level topline to high set tail (curl could be little tighter). Super wedge head, broad flat skull, clean transition to muzzle, high set pointed ears, and lovely dark eye, giving keen expression. Developing well in body and has short loin, moderate balanced angles. Light action on the move, good ground cover in profile, just needs to tighten behind as would expect in a puppy, RCC, BP. JD (1,0) 1. Corin & Camm’s Mazads Nom De Plume, well coated dog of good size, compact in outline, level topline. Would prefer more front angulation and neck, he carries a little weight on shoulder which affects movement, according to the schedule he is still a puppy, so plenty of time to lose his puppy cover and tighten up. Head is correct wedge shape with super pigment and dark eye, ears set little wide which affects expression. PGD (1,0) 1. Langford’s Frostisen Zeffer, in good double coat, presents a compact outline, with moderate angles. Chest is rather broad which shows on move. Wedge head of good width to flat skull, well set ears used well, eyes good colour but somewhat pronounced. LD (1,0) 1. Owens’ - Leggatts Night Fever, black of correct proportions, compact with good angles, and good topline, would like little more neck. Tail set on well. Attractive head, flat skull and good eye and ear. Well developed in chest. Not in full coat. Moved well in profile covering ground easily, but prefer more parallel placement behind, close decision for RCC. OD (4,1) 1. Shorer-Wheeler’s Ch Koromandel Tusen Takk JW, very masculine and showy, presents himself well standing four square and alert to handler. Shown in good bone and full double coat. Moderate angles that are well balanced and with clean medium length neck. Topline could be more level. Deep chest and short well developed loin. Tail carried high and well plumed. Classic wedge head, broad flat skull, dark eye and well-placed and used ears. Lovely light easy action on the move, eats up the ground with little effort. DCC & BOB and shortlisted in the group. 2. Deuchar’s Ch Rikarlo Gable JW L6ex, an old favourite of mine, super compact outline with correct angulation front and rear, high set tail with super tight double curl, not seen on many exhibits. Lovely head with breadth to flat skull and dark eye. Little lazy with ears today tending to appear wider than would like. Felt he was carrying little weight and he didn’t motor as well as have seen in past. 3. Corin & Camm’s Kligenthal Almuric. Spec B D/B no entries

VD/B (2,0) 1. Crocker’s Knytshall Noor Ul Ain, strong built 8 year old black bitch, compact in outline well set tight tail, good angulation and bone. Shown in firm body condition, with well developed chest. Head is feminine, though would prefer little more strength to muzzle, well set ears. Positive mover in all direction. BV 2. Norman’s Ch Arnscroft Delilah at Veekay, Compact bitch, but carry too much weight, and this has made her wide in front, affecting her movement. Would like to see more front angulation and neck. Attractive wedge head, good eye for shape and colour. Ears carried little wide. Tightly curled tail set on well. PB (1,0) 1. Crocker’s Leggatts Superstition, litter sister to the puppy dog, no nerves but rather skittish today. Good compact outline with correct level topline to tight high set tail. Good angles and neck. Eye is of correct colour but has slightly startled expression. Well set ears and head is promising for youngster. Lively on the move and little loose but am sure will settle with experience. JB (1,0) 1. Strong’s Draccus I Have A Dream, presents compact outline with good bone and correct angles. Well developed in chest, with level topline to high set tight tail. Not in full coat today. Head has promise but still to develop, needs little more strength to muzzle. Another who was somewhat erratic on the move, needs to tighten behind. PGB (2,0) 1. Crocker’s Leggatts Voulez Vous, compact black bitch, moderate angulation front and rear with good level topline. Shade broad in chest. Good width to flat skull and with well set eye and ear. Needs to tighten on the move. 2. - Leggatts Superstition. LB (3,0) 1. Guillod-Rees’ Draccus Obsidian at Bucamereru, attractive in outline presenting compact shape, good angulation front and rear. Level topline and tail set well with tight double curl. In good coat, very weatherproof. Feminine wedge head, flat skull, well set erect ears and good eye. Muzzle could be a little stronger if being picky. Very clean mover from all directions. BCC. 2. Crocker’s Leggatts Jive Talkin, smaller bitch, compact in outline with moderate angles. Level topline to high set tail. Found her head less typical that winner, good width to skull, but transition to muzzle was less clean, slightly more stop than would like. Eyes shade prominent. Needs to firm up on move. Shown in very good coat. 3. Taylor & Frost-Tredwell’s Frostisen Blakk Zitter. OB (2,1) 1. Shorer-Wheeler’s Sturtmoor's Ffascination with Koromandel, lovely compact shape with level topline, well boned, tail set on well. Correct angulation and medium neck, and well developed chest. Stands on tight feet, though being picky felt front feet turned out slightly. Moved very well in all directions. Feminine wedge head, flat skull with neat ears and dark eye. Clean under cheeks. Rather out of coat which cost her top spot, RCC
