Puppy (5)

1. Lumillion Crazy in Love

Simply a fabulous dog. He has everything you could possibly ask in the breed and more. Masculine, very well proportioned, very well constructed. Just oozing with type, attitude and quality. To me he is a goosebump dog and I was simply lost for words. Rather than reciting the standard, I will leave it at this. Best Puppy, CC & BOB.

2. Lumillion Love Struck

Another very attractive dog, much the same type and make and shape as the winner, just not quite as intense. Attractive masculine, well proportioned, excellent topline, well set and carried tail. Excellent coat and colour. Not the ears of the inner nor quite as good when viewed from behind, but he also powered around the ring like the winner who turned out to be his litter brother.

3. Penbro Carbon Copy

Junior Dog (3)

1. Tammux After Dusk

Black and silver dog with very pleasing proportions and quality about him. Head with good length and parallel planes. Quite good ears. Well set neck, Short and firm topline. His tail is well set, but could be better carried. His coat is not fully developed and harsh only on top of his body. Moderate, balanced angulation. He moved well from the side.

2. Nikisan It’s Bean A While at Riveltofs

Somewhat leggy dog, elegant. He has a head of good length, excellent expression even if his ears are rather flighty and he could have some more fill under his eyes. Very good neck int shoulder, slightly sloping topline. Could do with more angulation in front. Very good coat quality and very well trimmed. Moved Ok from all angles.

3. Amir White Star of Rainbowland

Yearling Dog (2)

1. Wallensis Look What I Found for Geomondo

Well proportioned young dog, square. He has a masculine head with just enough length to it. Pleasing expression. Medium neck, well set into a topline with a correct slope. Needs to develop more forechest. His tail is well set, but could be better carried. Well angulated behind. Very good coat quality, well trimmed. He moved quite well from all angles, but could be more stable behind.

2. Lichstone Call It A Day

A dog with an attractive head and expression, good length to it. Medium neck. His topline is not his fortune, could be stronger and is rather high behind. Moderate angulation both ends. Reasonable coat quality. He looked his best on the move when he smartened up quite a bit in his outline.

Post Graduate Dog (2)

1. Risepark First Stage

A very smart and stylish dog, eye-catching and well balanced. At 15 months, he still has to gain some more substance and width all through, but his outline is lovely. Head with good length and parallel planes, piercing expression. Very good ears. Well set neck into shoulder. Excellent topline, tailset and tail carriage. Well angulated behind. He is a smart mover at all times retaining his balance and outline.

2. Lichstone Midnite Stroller for Stavella

Big, strong and masculine black and silver dog. He has a very masculine head, attractive expression from his dark eyes. Strong neck. Excellent firm topline, very good tailset. His coat quality is not optimal and I would generally prefer less of him. Normal sound mover from all angles.

Limit Dog (4)

1. Penbro Walking On Sunshine

A square dog with a very pleasing outline. Just masculine enough. Pleasing expression, very good ears. Good neck. Baland angulation both ends. Needs to gain some more forechest. Excellent topline, well set tail. Very good coat quality, well trimmed. He retained his shape and balance from the side. Rather wide as seen from behind.

2. Lichstone Call The Wind

Well proportioned dog with quality. He has a very good head with excellent expression, length and parallel planes. Strong neck. Firm topline. However he could do with more angulation both ends and a higher tailset. Looke much better moving than standing as he balanced out well and moved with style and used his neck very well. Quite good coming and going too. Very good coat quality.

3. Amorevita Uranus JW

Open Dog (4,2)

1. Ch. Glockens Let It Be JW

A lovely dog, masculine and strong without any lumber. Very well proportioned and very well constructed. He has a masculine head with excellent length, typical expression. Excellent ears. Strong neck, very well set. A correct slope to his topline standing. Well set and carried tail. Long, well angulated rear. Excellent coat quality, perfectly trimmed. He powered around the ring, sound and energetic. Most unlucky to meet his opponent. ResCC.

2. Sincerely Yours for Stavella

A well proportioned dog, strong and masculine. I would prefer less width of skull, good ears. Strong neck. Short body, making him quare. Well set tail. His coat is very soft and not at all in show condition. He moved Ok from the side, but weak in his hocks as viewed from behind.

Special Beginners Dog or Bitch (6,1)

1. Wallensis Look What I Found for Geomondo

2. Penbro Replica for Devorasjoy

Quite smart salt and pepper bitch. Very feminine, she could do with a little more length of leg and neck. Excellent topline, well set tail that could be carried better. In a very good coat, well trimmed. Well angulated both ends. She moved soundly from all angles.

3. Lumillion Tough Love

Veteran Bitch (2)

Seven year old, very smart black bitch, if rather on the elegant size, could do with some more substance. She has a very attractive outline, well proportioned and square. Head with good length, dark eyes, good ears. Long neck. Firm topline, quite good tailset. Moderate balanced angulation both ends. She moved effortlessly around and with a very good carriage. Best Veteran.

2. Zantanas Something Special Lyzahro

A white bitch, eight years old. She has a strong head, lovely expression from her dark eyes. Moderate neck and very moderate angulation both ends. Firm topline. Good tailset. Her colour is rather uneven and she could have a thicker coat. Well handled by her very young handler.

Minor Puppy Bitch (1)

1. Schnaustar Edge of Glory

At seven months old, this bitch has come a long way in her development and is very well bodied. Still feminine, including in her head, excellent expression. Ears await maturity. Strong neck, well set into shoulders. Slightly sloping topline, well set tail, if not as well carried. Very good legs and feet. Her wiry coat is just starting to come through at this time and needs to become harsher. She is a very smart mover, especially from the side, carrying herself well and moved with energy and balance.

Puppy Bitch (6)

1. Copellastar Go With The Flo

Smart bitch with a fiery temperament and quite a show dog. Short and square. Good ears. Excellent neck, well set into a short and firm topline. Quite well set tail. I would not want any more hindquarters than this. Excellent coat quality. She moved with spirit from all angles. Still need to body up a bit.

2. Nikisan Chill Your Beans

Eye-catching bitch of quality. Lovely head and expression. Long neck. Well set. Another with quare body proportions and a very good topline. Her tail carriage is not her fortune nor is her coat colour. She moved well from all angles.

Kept her balance well on the move, but sometimes tended to side-track. Congratulations to making her up today with the CC.

2. Amorevita Bella Ciao

A black bitch with excellent construction. She is really good to go over. Strong bitch head, darkest of eyes. Strong neck, w ell set. Well angulated both ends. Firm topline, very good tailset. Lovely coat. She is carrying a bit too much weight which takes away something from her elegance today.

1. Cleopatra Thea

Black bitch with very good substance. Feminine head, but rather soft in expression and low set ears. Strong neck. Very good forechest and layback of upper arm. Strong topline. Moderately angulated behind. In a very good coat of excellent structure. She moved quite well from all angles, but tended to look a little short legged on the move, not so standing.

2. Tammux Timless Journey

Square bitch, well up on legs. Black and silver. Her head could do with more chiselling and better ears. Pleasing neck, strong topline, but without slope. Moderate angulation both ends. Her coat quality could be harsher. Moved light on her feet.

Black and silver bitch with pleasing square proportions. Head of good length, ears rather flighty. Medium neck and front angulation. Strong topline with a slope. Quite well set tail. Could do with more angulation behind. She kept her balance well and moved in synch from the side, but should be sounder as viewed from behind.

Feminine bitch, not at all big, she has just enough length of leg. Wel shaped head with good ears. Moderate neck. Good forechest. Firm topline, slightly sloping. Good tailset. Balanced angulation behind. Very good coat quality. She is an excellent, well balanced mover and kept her shape well and looked more upstanding moving than standing. Sound coming and going.
