Veteran Dog (1)

1. Ch. Charson Worth The Wait

A very big dog, definitely masculine and strong, I would not want any more of him than this. Head with excellent length, very dark eyes. Strong neck. Balanced angulation both ends and a firm topline. Very good double dewclaws. He moved surprisingly light on his feet for such a big and strong dog. In a rich coat of excellent structure.

Puppy Dog (1)

1. Fostebrie Black Thunder

A very attractive puppy and already an outstanding mover. Head under development, but the framework is there. Excellent pigmentation and expression. Strong neck, medium long. Wel angulated in both ends and well developed in his forechest. Firm topline, well proportioned. Well angulated behind. Above all he is a very free and efficient mover, sound from all angles, the first of several truly outstanding movers from this kennel today. Best Puppy and resCC.

Junior Dog (1)

1. I Dreamed A Dream Moravia Campanella At Gilcoru

 A well grown, well proportioned young dog, strong and masculine. He is instantly attractive for his majestic outline on the stack and of lovely type. Excellent skull, parallel head planes. Very good rise of neck. Deep and capacious brisket. Strong topline. Excellent coat quality. Very good dewclaws. Insecure when moving which affected his hind movement, but he kept his balance don the move. When he can handle is hindquarters, he may become the one to beat.

Limit Dog (4)

1. Fostebrie I Am Mika at Kimarlaz

Quite an impressive dog in silhouette. At 21 months old, he has a very attractive outline. Strong enough in his head with good length and planes. Long neck. Needs to gain some more volume in his forechest. Strong and firm topline, well angulated behind. Coat of pleasing structure if not very thick. Easily the best moving dog in this class, easy and well balanced from the side, and quite good coming and going as well.

2. Chavell European Secret

Another dog with a pleasing silhouette. He is well up on legs. Attractive head and expression. Good neck into shoulder. He could put more weight on his front when standing. Firm topline. Reasonable body on him, but still awaiting a full body. Very good coat quality. He moved well from the side and in front, could stabilize going away.

Special Beginner Dog and Bitch (1)

1. Chavell Secret Affair

An elegant, feminine bitch. Feminine in head, still strong enough and with good length to it. Moderate neck and front angulation. Firm topline. Could do with some more bone. Well set and carried tail. Balanced angulation behind. She is light on her feet.

Veteran Bitch (2,1)

1. Ch. Stormfield Fergie At Chavell

A bitch with very attractive type and outline. Stood very firmly over her legs and feet. Attractive head with very good length to it and parallel planes. Expressive. Good rise of neck. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline. Quite good coat, but a bit thin in some places. She used her legs well on the move, but could be more animated. Best Veteran

Puppy Bitch (2)

1. Gilcoru Quaid

Black bitch, very elegant even for her age, she needs to grow on a bit to become quite enough of her. Excellent temperament. Pleasing, feminine head, excellent expression. Normal neck. Firm topline. Moderate, balanced angulation behind, makes for quite a pleasing outline. Enough boy for her age. Good coat quality. Acceptable double dewclaws. In glimpses she moved quite well, but most of the time she played up.

2. Fostebrie Just Finesse

Strong bitch, still carrying plenty of puppy fat. Another with quite a good head, dark eyes. Strong neck. At this time lower in the front than behind and needs to gain more elegance to her outline. Difficult to assess in movement as she found it very hard to concentrate. Rich coat.

Junior Bitch (2,1)

A lovely, well balanced black bitch, excellent type and quality. Typical head with good length to it and parallel head planes, dark eyes. Very good rise of neck. Moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline, in all forming a very attractive silhouette. Very good coat quality.

Post Graduate Bitch (1)

1. Chavell Secret Affair

Limit Bitch (2)

1. Fostebrie Hope’s Sensation JW

Well constructed young bitch, by far the best mover in the class. Head of enough length, correct stop, good expression. Could do with some more neck. Firm topline. Moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. Correct double dewclaws. Moved impressively soundly and efficiently from all angles. ResCC

2. Chavell Secret Vision

Eye-catching bitch, she really filled my eye when standing. Taller and with a long neck. Excellent head with good length to it. Firm topline. Moderate and balanced angulation both ends. From her standing picture I would have expected more on the move, but she was rather restricted behind.

Open bitch (4,1)

1. Gilcoru Intuition D’brie

A strong bitch, still feminine. Typical head with good length to it. Strong neck, firm topline. Just long enough in her legs for optimal balance. Firm topline. In a very rich coat. She moved well from the side, but could perfect her coming and going.

2. Ch. Tigra De Los Niegos To Charson

Eye catching grey bitch She is going through a very strange face now in her coat and looks very uneven in colour, and the coat structure is also uneven. Feminine head with good length and stop. Good rise of neck. Moderately angulated both ends, it all balanced out well. Moved with plenty of energy and quite good coming and going, some less speed might make her look even better.
