Class 149 JD (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 420 MCNAUGHTON, Ms Lesley Ch Clentry Cooking Up A Storm a 15-month-old smart looking youngster who has an attractive head of pleasing shape, proportions and expression. True, strong front with desirable, obvious fore-chest and depth, pleasing spring of rib and is ribbed well back with short loin. Firm topline. Free positive movement. A bit sensitive today which affected his presentation and outward appearance especially when being handled.

Class 150 PGD (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 429 THOMSON, Mrs Stefanie Clentry Storm Out I note he is litter brother to the previous class winner and has many of the conformation qualities of his brother. Would be the better with less body weight especially over the loin. He presents a very attractive profile appearance being long and low and of satisfying proportions and balance in angulations. True front with adequate fore-chest which I preferred to 2nd. Sufficient ground clearance to allow free positive movement; Better mover of the class.

2nd: 412 HEELS, Miss Kerry Daxanory Menacing Awesom a shapely 2-year-old who needs to settle to give of his best. Attractive head both in shape and proportions with a bit of a reticent expression. Pleasing clean lines all through. Good length of neck, pleasing ribbing and rear angulation. Preferred his forequarters to that of3rd. Free moving but lacking the confidence compared to 1st.

3rd: 424 NAGY, Mr Csaba Gravelous Harbour

Class 151 LD (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 415 JONES, Miss Teigan Abigail & MOES, Mr Christopher Cwmdarhian Gordon Ramsay an impressive, nearly 4-year-old male who was free moving with pleasing extension in front. Attractive, refined head with an alert expression, clean neck of good length set into a well-made body which had spring, depth and is ribbed well back. True, strong parallel front, tight in elbows and having a strong prominent fore-chest. Presents an attractive ‘breed typical’ picture, both standing and moving being of ideal length, smooth coated with a firm level top line and correct underline. My Reserve Dog CC winner. 2nd: 402 ASHBY, Miss Elizabeth Rayol Dallas Cowboys At Jaxinorydax a similar looking mature 2-year-old male who has good length, proportions and balance but was unsettled which detracted from his general appearance. He has an attractive ‘breed typical’ head which is of pleasing shape and expression. Looks good when settled and standing naturally. True front and firm, angled hindquarters. Not as settled and free in movement as 1st.

3rd: 428 STARKEY, Mrs W G M Carpaccio Magnum P.i. at Hamoura

Class 152 OD (5 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 419 MCNAUGHTON, Ms Lesley Cedavoch Rohan an impressive 3-year-old b/t male of ‘eye-catching’ breed type. Clean lines, super profile, proportions and balance. Refined masculine head and alert expression. Good width, well angulated shoulders. Notable front and forequarters with obvious fore-chest. Firm in body of good length, depth and spring and having a firm level top line. Strong, stable angulated, hindquarters of pleasing width and parallel hocks. He has enough leg length allowing free movement with definite true extension and steady drive. A handsome example of the Breed. My Dog CC winner

2nd: 413 JENNINGS, Mrs J Marvales's Manifesto At Jenivon another 3-year-old b/t of heavier build than 1st. Another well-constructed male. He has a sound and firm appearance both in make and shape. He shares many of the same merits of 1st but just preferred the more agile, proportioned, long and low appearance of 1st. Satisfying in fore chest with true, stable front which he used to advantage over 3rd on the move. He had purpose and extension in front movement and especially good side gait.

3rd: 410 GRAHAM, Mrs S L A Ch Marvale Chancellor At Ravold JW

Attractive head set well on to good length neck. True front and pleasing feet and fore chest which I preferred to 2nd. Level top line and nicely angled hindquarters but would be the better by losing surplus substance. The more settled mover of the class.

2nd: 425 SIGNORE, Mrs Adele & SIGNORE, Mr Jordan Olive Sky At Daxmaison an 8-month-old b/t youngster who has pleasing bone and body. Giving lots away to maturity but needs to develop and tighten which should come in time. Pleasing head shape although appeared unhappy which influenced her expression. Unsettled on the move.

2nd: 421 MCNAUGHTON, Ms Lesley Clentry Steal My Thunder a 15-month-old litter sister to the Junior and Post Graduate Dog class winners. She has the same conformation and breed qualities but needs to settle to give of her best. Lovely head and expression and when settled she presents a very notable breed typical appearance.
