Cardigan Corgi

V. 1st Ch. Handskies Just A Gigalolo At Tamlin. Topping a class of 3 quality Ch. Veterans, this super 10 year old male belies his age and just keeps getting better and better with age. I love his head piece, classic Cardi outlook extenuated by the correct eye shape and expression. Strong and muscular all through with typical ‘wrap around ’ front. Deep chest and strength to bone. Some length of back, holding his backline firm. Excellent rear, really drives around the ring with power and purpose. Correct fox-brush tail. A fabulous male that fully deserved the CC today.

2nd Ch. Kerman Field Of Dreams. Lovely female who appeals for type, conformation, overall maturity. Super outline with length of back and a strong, firm in topline. Another with an excellent head. Correct angulation. A little unsettled but did enough to warrant her place here. Moved well.

3rd Ch. Hundahilli Bullyanna For Brynlluan.

PD. 1st Twinan True Grit. A very composed pup of 6 months. Well-proportioned head with well set-on large ears. Medium neck. Excellent body and depth of chest for his age. Quality bone and stands on well-padded feet. Has good length and a moderately angled rear. Immaculately presented as is the norm from this kennel. Confident mover. Will follow his career with interest. BP.

2nd Tamlin Hillbilly Rock. Another promising youngster. 10 months old and quite forward in body for age. Good length to height ratio. Correct head, eye and ear. Just needs to drop in rear a fraction which should settle his topline. Free, sound mover.

JD. 1st Kerman Wizard Of Oz. Liked this young male very much. Well balanced all through. Super head with correct eye shape giving an intelligent expression. Well angled front and rear. Strong bone. Can firm-up a bit all round. Typical fox-brush tail. Moved with reach and drive once settled. In good coat, well presented.

2nd Twinan True To Form. Litter brother to PD winner and shares many of his qualities. Excellent overall shape. Lovely head and expression. Good conformation and enjoying his time in the ring. A touch loose on the move, to be expected at this precious age, but absolutely sound.

OD. 1st Ch/Am Ch. Wonderland Tell Tail Back To The future. Excels for type and overall quality. Liked his size and outline. Plenty of length without compromising any weakness. Lovely head and eye.

2nd Tamlin Boot Scoot Boogie. Well marked blue merle. Super body and excellent overall shape. Lovely head. Eye shape ok. Excellent neck. Deep chest for her age. Firm topline. Moderately angled front, wraps around well but needs to firm-up a touch in pasterns. Good rear. Moved soundly.
