Lovely head for his age with good eyes and correctly carried ears. He has good layback of shoulder, decent width to his front and a correct top line. He is well balanced in body with good rear angulation and correct feet. Best Puppy in Breed.

2nd: SALETTI’s Jojase Blarney Magic Blue

Litter brother to the winner and similar comments apply here. A little finer in bone. He has really good eye shape. Well bodied for his age, he moved steadily here and should go on to do well. Just preferred the ears of the winner today.

Lovely class of promising young males.

1st: PRYCE’s Cenaubach I Do

Just out of puppy but so true to type and well bodied for his age. Good head with enough width which will only improve further as he develops. Well placed eyes and lovely large nose. He has good ear placement and used them well standing and tucked them back nicely on the move. Correct front with slight bow to his legs and feet turned slightly out. He is well bodied with ribs well back and firm over the loins. Strong and well angulated quarters allowed him to move with strength and drive. Delighted to award him his first CC.

2nd: HARDY’s Amhard Tornado

Another good one showing plenty of promise for his age. Well-proportioned head with strong jaws and lovely eye colour. Strong neck of good length leads nicely into sloping shoulders. He has good length and depth to his ribs without being over done in any way. Correct top line and good set on of tail. He too moved with drive from his quarters. Should go on to do well.

1st: FORBES’s Ch Jeonty Dreams A Dream With Karensbrae JW ShCEx

Worthy Champion on good form. She doesn’t feel or look like a veteran! This wheaten girl is now 7 years old but still showing well and is full of quality and breed attributes. Balanced in outline and in correct body and coat. She does not disappoint on closer inspection. Correct head with width of skull and strength of muzzle, she has dark eyes and A large nose. Strong neck and nicely sloping shoulders lead to a well-developed body with plenty of depth but not overdone. She was in good coat and moved to advantage. A pleasure to award her the CC and Best of Breed.
