Puppy Dog (3)

1. Zefather’s Two Faces With Irieusdane

Nine months old fawn dog, well balanced and well proportioned and already making quite a majestic overall impression, if obviously still young. Head with good length and parallel planes. Ears needs to stabilize. Long neck, well set. Very good layback of upper arm. Moderate amount of bone. Pleasing outline. Strong thighs and well angulated in rear. He moved soundly coming and going. Very good coat. Best Puppy.

2. Bubba Von Pao Eberjager With Tamzdane

A mantel coloured dog , eye-catching, very mature for his young age and with excellent substance and masculinity. Another with pleasing head planes, expression not his fortune. Excellent ears. Strong neck, very good forechest, legs and feet. Firm topline, a little longer cast than the winner, deep and capacious in his chest and body. His hindquarters need to stabilize with time, especially in movement going away. Beautiful coat.

3. Roshanun Conquistador

Junior Dog (2)

1. Bubba Von Pao Eberjager With Tamzdane

2. Amerikano Ataraksja In Alegriagiant

Big and strong and masculine harlequin dog, scoring in strength and a lovely temperament. His head could do with more quality and less lips. Pleasing ears. Strong neck, well set. Deep and capacious chest and good volume overall. Strong thighs, at this time needs to drop into his hindquarters and to firm up in topline. Excellent coat. Reasonable colour. His best feature is his sound and efficient movement from the side and from behind, but he needs to stabilize in this front movement.

Limit Dog (1)

1. Vanmore Happy Days

A very well made brindle dog. He is strong and masculine, but I would still prefer a bit more of him to make him even more upstanding and majestic. Strong masculine head with good length and parallel head planes. Pleasing lip-line. Ears on the larger side. Strong and crested neck. Very good forechest. Firm topline, square. Deep chest. Balanced angulation behind. Very good legs and feet. Lovely coat and colour. He moved well, especially from the side and from behind.

Open Dog (3)

1. Ch. Selmalda Jealous Guy

A most majestic brindle dog with plenty of quality and outstanding type, a piece of art. He combines being strong, masculine and substantial with a very high degree of elegance and quality. Beautiful head and expression, excellent length of head and parallel head planes. Lovely neck into shoulders. Excellent forechest and return of upper arm. Firm topline. Deep chest. Very well angulated behind. He looked the part standing and moved better than his competition. A top class dog by any definition. With plenty in hand he won the CC & BOB

2. UK Swiss Lux.Ch. Tamzdane Empower Mint JW

Another impressive dog, eye-catching and of excellent type and proportions. Very pleasing, masculine head with excellent expression. Crested neck, well set. Very good forechest. I would prefer some more spring of pastern. Lovely outline standing. Just enough body volume. Very well angulated behind. He is a pleasing mover, especially from the side, and acceptable coming and going as well, but did not hold his topline as well on the move as the winner. ResCC.

Puppy Bitch (4)

1. Lambrini A Girl Like Me at Tamzdane

Mantel coloured bitch who has come a long way for her age, both body and balance-wise. Her head is still very much under development as is her bite. Excellent ears. Long, well set neck, very good front. Well developed in her body with depth and width. Very attractive body silhouette. She does not need any more angulation behind than this, but handled it well on the move from the side, not as much from behind. Lovely coat and colour. Extended very well and kept her balance on the move.

2. Zefather’s Gossip Girl With Irieusdane

Attractive fawn bitch, another who’s head is under development. Strong neck, very pleasing forechest and layback of upper arm. Square in her outline standing. Moderate, balanced angulation behind. Needs to develop a little more self confidence which also shows up on the move as she is lowering herself, sound coming and going. Very good coat and colour. Excellent feet.

3. Alegriagiant Casjopeya

Junior Bitch (1)

1. Novavida Aesirs Conquest

Beautiful quality bitch, majestic, upstanding and of generally very high quality. Lovely head with length and quality and outstanding expression. Crested neck, moderate layback of shoulder, but excellent upper arm and forechest. Deep chest, firm topline, I would not want her any longer in body, but this is ok for a bitch. Moderately angulated behind. Excellent coat and colour. Moved with pride and carriage. She is a work of art and should be a future champion as testified by today winning her second CC.

Post Graduate Bitch (1)

1. Novavida Shieldmaiden

An elegant, upstanding and feminine bitch of generally high quality. Lovely head with excellent length and parallel head planes. Excellent expression. Long neck, but her shoulders could have better lay-back. Just enough bone. She would benefit from more weight and at this time looks a bit stringy in her body. Moderate angulation behind. She is very light on her feet and very co-ordinated on the move and them makes a very favourable impression.

Open Bitch (5,4)

1. Ch. Zefather’s Kind of Magic JW

A well constructed bitch. She combined substance with quality. Just enough length of leg. Very pleasing head with enough stop. Excellent expression. Strong neck, well set. Very good forechest and depth of chest. Could be a little stronger in her topline. Ample angulation behind. Lovely coat and colour. Quite a sound, functional mover from all angles. ResCC.
