Jack Russell Terrier

PD/B (1,0)

1. Ryan’s Saredon In The Limelight. 10 mth old dog standing alone here but more than worthy of company. I wouldn’t want him any bigger but he is such a smart youngster, appealing for type and outline. Strong neck, firm topline and tail set on high. Masculine head with super expression; dark almond-shaped eyes, ears of correct set, strength to muzzle and correct dentition. Good angles front and rear, stands on excellent feet and moves out with attitude. BOB & Best Puppy.

Feminine head with lovely eye and ear, strong muzzle and excellent dentition. When gaiting she moves steadily on the go around and has a good strong rear. Coat of correct texture and well presented. Well handled.

OD/B (5,1)

1. Heath’s Ch Lavaux Bahamian Chris. 5 yr old dark silver dog. All male and good to go over. He scored in outline with slightly crested neck of good length to balance, firm topline, deep ribcage which extends well back and short, muscular loin.

German Shorthaired Pointer

PD/B (2,0)

1. Sielski’s Orchidstar Tick Tok. Two quite different bitch puppies challenged in this class with the nod going to this 6½ mth old. Feminine all through and good to go over. She has a touch more length than that of 2nd but has a graceful outline with each part flowing smoothly into the next. Pleasing headpiece with good eye and ear and scissor bite. Good angles front and rear and she stands true in front on excellent feet. Moving freely with good carriage. Best Puppy.

2. Schoneville’s Balvenie Fiddle Diddle. Just 6 mths, this docked girl also pleased. She is a different build to the winner and carries a tad more bone. Moderately long neck, short back but needs to firm up, muscular loin and correct croup. Clean cut head with pleasing expression. Standing on good feet but not quite as tidy as winner, muscular hindquarters with good turn of stifle. Covers the ground on the go around and nice strong rear. Well handled.

JD/B (2,0)

1. Sielski’s Orchidstar Silver Lightnin. 14 mth old bitch who is still quite immature but a comfortable winner here for me. Pleasing outline with slightly arched neck, short back, firm topline and tail of good carriage. Feminine head and expression with good eye and ear and correct dentition. She stands nice and straight in front, needing to develop in forechest but obviously has plenty of time on her side. Moving very well when viewed in profile.

2. Evans-Yarwood’s Sperant Hibou of Komikhund. 12½ mth old dog who carries good bone. Neck of good length to balance, firm topline and muscular loin but tail carriage not his fortune. Masculine head with pleasing eye and ear, well defined stop and scissor bite. Straight forelegs and excellent feet but another who needs to fill in front. Moving pretty well all through but not quite extension of winner.

PGD/B (2,1)

1. Evans-Yarwood’s Rhosynglas Bootes of Komikhund. 4 yr old bitch who I felt was rather refined. Feminine head but lacking fill below the eyes, ears set on high and correct dentition. Standing straight in front on compact feet and pleasing hind angulation. Moving ok on the go around but could have made more of herself.

OD/B (2,0)

1. Sielski’s Sh Ch Orchidstar Bolts of Speed. This was another class where two very different dogs competed, although both full of quality. My winner was this 4 yr old who greatly appealed and was so good hands on. He presented a super outline with neck of good length to balance, firm topline, excellent ribbing, correct croup and tail correct for set and carriage. Quality head with expressive eyes, ears set on high and good dentition. Well muscled all through and soundly constructed. Moving so well on the go around and expertly handled. BOB and pleased to see he later went Group 2.

2. Schoneville’s Balvenie Double Diamond JW. 5 yr old docked dog. Strongly built boy carrying good bone. Masculine throughout with pleasing head and expression but winner had the edge in eye for me. Muscular neck of correct length to balance, short back, deep brisket and super ribbing. Good angles front and rear and standing true in front on very good feet. Impressed on the go around with good length of stride and excellent propulsion from the rear.

Irish Wolfhound

PD/B (1,0)

1. Molyneux’s Francistown Connor. 10 mth old dog puppy who is really rather raw right now. Neck of good length, firm topline, good depth to brisket for age and tail carried low. Masculine head with pleasing eye and ear and good dentition. He has a nice length of stride on the go around but needs to fill out in front which will hopefully help his gait when coming towards. BOB & Best Puppy.

BIS: Rees’ Ch Winter Melody Triple Trouble at Amical. From one of the best BIS line-ups I have had the pleasure of judging I selected this 5 yr old Siberian Husky bitch for the top spot.

Slightly arched neck of medium length, short back with firm topline, excellent ribbing, correct croup and tail good for both set and carriage.
