Beagles

Puppy (5,1)

1. Mrs & Miss Banks - Forgebanks Shantung

Lovely 11 month old tri bitch, typical in outline and sound in construction. When stacked presents a very shapely but unexaggerated profile. So very feminine, but with the desired amount of substance. Lovely head, with a dark eye and pigmentation, well placed ears and right amount of strength to the foreface to give a kind and alert expression. Good length of neck, deep in brisket and well developed in forechest. Holding a firm topline and well set on and carried tail. Moving with drive and precision to take BP & RBOB

2. Mr & Mrs Coates - Gladstyle Arm Candy

Fell for this 6 month old, Lemon & White bitch, she has a super outline when stood, but as you would expect at her tender age, still needing to mature. Pretty head, showing balance, with a dark eye, well placed leathers. She has a lovely flow from nose to tail. Deep chest and well developed in front. She stands on quality boned limbs and neat feet. Particularly liked her strong wide quarters, which she put to good use on the move to drive around the ring.

3. Ms Hardisty - Blunderhall Flirty Gertie

4. Dawson, Goodall & Harrison - Rundle Lovelace

Junior (2,0)

1. Mrs & Miss Banks - Forgebanks Santiano

Much to like about this Tan & White dog, he is litter brother to the winner of Puppy, with many of the same virtues. Well grown, sturdy with a compact strong body. Presenting a well balance outline with good body lines. Pleasing head, with a kind expression, and a hint of naughtiness. Good neck into well laid shoulders, firm topline, well set on stern, depth to the brisket, and good ribcage. Good width of thigh, short hock to heel onto neat tight feet. Moving with good width behind and drive

2. Ms Hardisty - Blunderhall Saucy Sally

Tri bitch was only 7 months old, but showing so well like an old pro. A compact bitch of good proportions. Such a pretty head, nicely balanced, dark soulful eyes give a soft and kind expression. Strong neck, into a firm level topline, lovely spring to the ribs which were carried well back. Well developed through the body. Showed good drive, not quite as settled in her front action today.

Post Graduate (1,1)

Open (3,1)

1. Bridgeman & Logue - Kubik Csiki Kopo At Kingswin (imp Seb)

Smart, sturdy, and well built Tan & White 3 year old dog and looking in fine fettle. Showing himself off with confidence and style. When stood he has a lovely silhouette, one part flowing into the next. There is no mistaking his gender, he is all male. Masculine head, with a slight dome to the back skull, a little more width, dark eye, and well placed leathers framing his face. Good length of neck with a slight arch flowing into a well placed shoulder, firm topline both stood and on the move. Quality bone and substance all through. Strong and muscular hindquarters with lovely tight neat feet. He comes alive on the move, showing good reach in front, with width and drive from the rear, all whilst holding his outline. BOB and delighted to watch him go onto take Hound Group 1

2. Ms Hardisty - Blunderhall Jacks The Lad JW

Most attractive 16 month old Tri dog, a little more compact all through than winner, showing good overall balance and unexaggerated. He has an appealing head and expression. Well developed through the body, with good depth to the brisket, well sprung ribcage and a strong short loin. Lovely round bone down to his tight feet. Another with strong hindquarters, and short hock to heel. A sound and free mover
