1st Lowton-Humphries Mr A & Mr S Lumllion Crazy In Love

First class of the day and I was taken back straight away with this exceptional boy. For 10 months old, he did not disappoint in any way. He oozes quality and breed type. Robust, well balanced and smart. Masculine head with keen expression. Strong neck that slows into well laid shoulders. Well sprung ribs and deep chest. Correct angulation. His movement finishes off the ‘picture’, so free with good reach and drive. I was delighted to award him his 1st CC today and I’m sure he has a bright future ahead of him! DCC, BPIB & BOB

2nd Lowton-Humphries Mr A & Mr S Lumillion Love Struck

The brother to 1. He has everything he needs, just maybe needs a little more time to come into his own. Lovely head and dark eyes with good dentition. Moderately long neck, well laid shoulders and strong back. Good coat texture. Well angulated. Another that moved freely with good reach and drive throughout.

Class 1950 JB – (4 entries) Abs: 0

1st Longdin Mrs E Wellingley Won way to go

Probably the hardest class of the day for quality! But this girl took the win and then went on to BCC.

She ticks all the boxes for me. Excellent head and expression, neat ears, scissor bite, a moderately long neck, good depth to her body with firm sloping topline. She makes the best of shapes in profile. She has good angles in front and rear and has a correct harsh coat. Her movement was icing on the cake, moving with such purpose showing off her reach and drive.

2nd Hood Mrs J Jastalla SwingTime

I was really splitting hairs between 1 & 2. I could say the same things about them both. Her head just as good as 1, her shape and angles were excellent. She moved out well covering the ground. I just preferred the attitude and alertness of 1 which ultimately made my decision on the day. RBCC
