Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge and to the exhibitors for an excellent entry.

Special Award Junior D/B 7,3

1. Ward’s Llwyni Rock N’roll Star. D. Now 16 months, maturing nicely. His Wedge shaped head with correct stop and small black nose, dark expressive eyes, well set small erect ears are a feature. Clean front, well laid shoulders and tight elbows. Deep chest, admirable spring of rib and high set tail. Well angulated hindquarters produce strong rear drive. Gorgeous white coat with the blackest of pigmentation to boot. Steady on the move, producing a stunning in profile.

2. Aston & Bowen’s Glamglow’s Cosmic Charmer. D. 14 months. Lovely overall size. Admired his dark pigmentation. Wedge shaped head contained expressive dark eyes. Well placed, small ears used to advantage. Excellent dentition. Well laid shoulders. I liked his rear angulations which produced strong rear drive. Good for tail set and coat. Has a great prospect in the showring.

3. McPhee’s Maihimekai The Tempress.

Special Award D/B Graduate 5,2

1. McPhee’s Glamglow’s Blushing Bride For Maihimekai. B. 3 years. When standing she produces a lovely shape. Good for size and is well balanced. Correct wedge shaped head with muzzle nicely tapering to small nose. Appealing, dark, expressive eyes. Forequarters are nicely angulated. Chest has a good depth. Secure strong backline.
