Minor Puppy Dog (3)

1. Tenshilling Catch The Wind

At just six months old, this is a well developed and in general very well constructed dog. Masculine head, straight muzzle. Well set ears. Strong neck, well set into shoulders. Already well developed in his forechest with excellent layback of upper arm. Excellent topline, depth and correct width all through. Balanced angulation behind. His tail is slightly low set. He moved soundly and efficiently from all angles. Very good feet. Moved out well from the side, if somewhat narrow behind.

2. Fleurfield Benjamin Button With Marissolo

Same age and with very good quality, but he is much less developed than the winner. I preferred his head profile with excellent length and an attractive dish-face. Long neck, well set. Well set and carried tail, actively using it on the move. Well angulated behind. Needs to develop in his forechest and to stabilize in front movement.

3. Tenshilling Hello Stranger

1. Quinnery Swindler By By Lypal

A dog with quality and style. He is well -proportioned and eye-catching. Quality head with excellent occiput and pleasing planes. Well set ears. Long neck, well set into shoulder. Moderate angulation in front with enough prominence of breastbone. Attractive outline, well set tail. Moderate, balanced angulation behind. Very good legs and feet. He moved out well from the side, and is quite good coming and going as well.

2. Tenshilling Catch The Wind

3. Wilchrimane Cereal Killer

Junior Dog (4)

1. Ladyhawke Desert Orchid

Very attractive dog with obvious quality, if slightly longer cast. He has a typical head with a dish face and a very good skull, well set ears. Good neck into shoulder. Pleasing return of upper arm. Strong topline, moderate, balanced angulation behind. He used his tail actively on the move and moved very well from the side, if not perfect coming and going.

2. Sharnphilly Black Abbott

Standing, I liked this dog a lot. He has a very attractive silhouette and is short coupled. Attractive, masculine head with some dish face and a beautiful expression. Strong neck, well set. Balanced angulation both ends. He has a slight arch to his loin and an attractive underline. Well set tail. Excellent bone and feet. However on the move, even if keeping his balance, he lifted his front legs too high.

3. Teisgol Calendula

Yearling Dog (5)

1. Harvestslade Fire And Ice Through Merynjen JW

A typey dog, well proportioned, masculine without lumber. He has a strong masculine head with a beautiful profile with a dish face and a very attractive expression. Long neck, very well set into shoulder. Balanced angulation both ends. Excellent topline and underline. He moved well from all angles with soundness and balance. Well set tail that he used actively. ResCC.

2. Tenshilling Shboom JW

An exceptionally good moving dog, especially from the side. Strong, masculine head, could do with some dish face. Strong neck, very well set. Well angulated both ends. He is slightly stronger than what I prefer. Well set tail. His brisket could be a little longer. He is an exceptional mover, energetic, sound and clean.

3. Teisgol Calendula

Graduate Dog (3)

1. Teisgol Calendula

A quality dog, but I would like more of him, and he could not be any shorter than this. Attractive head with some dish face and excellent length of muzzle. Very good expression and ears. Crested neck, well set, good return of upper arm. Well set tail. He comes alive in movement and looks better balanced on the move than standing still.

A very elegant dog, another that I would like a bit more of, especially in bone. Typical head with very pleasing head planes, well carved out under the eyes, good neck. Very moderately angulated both ends. Pleasing topline. The tail is somewhat high set. He moved with enthusiasm, but could extend more both ends.

3. Sunhouse I’ll Be Black

Post Graduate Dog (3)

1. Heartsbury Matador JW

A dog of obvious quality. He has a masculine head with a dish face. Ears could be higher set and is not his fortune. Long neck, well set. Good angulation in front, enough width in front. Attractive body silhouette and a well set tail. Very good legs and feet. He was the most fluent mover in the class, retaining his attractive silhouette. Could benefit from slightly more weight.

2. Wilchrimane Let’s Be Frank

A masculine dog, well constructed. He has a masculine head, would not want more skull than this. Very good ears. Strong neck. Balanced angulation both ends. His tail is too high set and is carried too gaily on the move which detracts something from his otherwise very good side movement.

A very eye-catching dog with plenty of elegance and style about him. He has an attractive, masculine head with some dish face. Long neck, well set. Well angulated both ends.
