Puppy Dog Entries: 5 Absentees: 2

1ST - Vormund Tamashii No Kage (Miss M Dunhill-Hall) A very smart B&T young boy. Pleasing masculine head with well-set triangular ears that follow the line of his muscular neck. His eyes were small and dark, set nicely apart. Well-filled chest and pleasing tight elbows. He had ample bone to straight forelegs which finished with tight, well-knuckled feet. On the move, he was straight and true with a quick, energetic stride.  

2Nd - Doriken Ivan Attitude (Miss GC May) This red boy was a little tall for me today as a puppy, which made him slightly out of balance at this time. His coat is in super condition with a dense undercoat and a tightly curled tail to finish. His topline was firm, a spring of ribs with a short, muscular loin,

1ST - Doriken Reggie Mental (Mrs Nj & Ms Gc Hamilton & May) Litter brother to 2nd in puppy. In my opinion, better made and more balanced. His head is the shape of a blunt triangle with a flat skull and nicely developed cheeks. His chest is sufficiently filled and has customary bow markings. His elbows fit neatly under his chest, giving a clean outline. His feet were catlike with firm pads. I would like him to be more positive on the move.

2ND - Chadbrook Inspire Me (Miss J Young) This intense red boy is very compact; at a nice height, he presented a balanced outline. He has plenty of bone to his forelegs, although a little down on his pasterns; he has lovely cat-like feet that are well knuckled. Has respectable ribbing and a short loin. Shown in super coat condition of pleasing texture.

1ST 1695 - Rahima Put A Spell On You (Mr A Knipe) Red boy, well-defined cheeks, dark expressive eyes, small and almond in shape; I would like a little more depth, and spring of ribs. Short loin and sufficient hind angulation. He took time to settle.

1ST - Musashi Miyamoto Go Shun’you Kensha (Miss C Roskell) Mature boy full of breed type with a full coat and dense undercoat. Masculine and well balanced who carried himself well. Excellent head with almond-shaped eyes, nicely developed cheeks, and defined stop with furrow. Small triangular ears inclining slightly forwards. Muscular neck of medium length. Firm topline to set on of thick tail carried curled over his back. His elbows were close to his moderately sprung ribs and well-developed chest. His feet were firm and tightly knitted, well knuckled with elastic pads finished with dark nails. His loin was muscular and short. Ample width to his upper thigh down to his equally strong 2nd thigh, hocks short and parallel. On the move he was light and lively, in super condition all through DCC BoB

2ND - Vormund Ken Kanekii (Miss M Dunhill-Hall) Younger boy and expertly handled. Pleasing head with a keen expression from dark almond-shaped eyes, enough cheek and suitably defined stop. His neck was of medium length with a slight arch into shoulders, moderate slope and enough upper arm. His topline was firm and finished with a high-set tail which curled neatly.

1St - Ch Vormund Xmas Bonus (Miss M Dunhill-Hall) - This boy put up a strong challenge, with so much to like about him. He had an unmistakable masculine head with a keen expression. His eyes were small, dark and set well apart. His ears were small and triangular, following the line of his neck, which was thick and muscular. Ample bone to legs, slight spring at pasterns. His topline was firm, level and muscular with a short loin and moderate tuck-up. In the challenge, he was just pipped. I could easily change them round RCC

2ND - Tapena Go Giyu Shin (Mr M A & Mrs S T Law) - This 4yr gave a good account of himself today with a pleasing outline. Not quite as typical in head. Strong, muscular neck and well boned legs with pleasing feet. He is a little longer in loin than 1. Ample width of thigh and turn of stifle, although I would like a little more muscle tone.

1ST - Vormund Kurotori No Hana (Miss M Dunhill-Hall) - Young girl really turned things on today. Typical marking for a B&T pips over her eyes and a clear dicky-bow to her chest. Her ears were triangular and small, with a slight incline forward following the line of her neck. Plenty of bone to her legs and small, firm feet. Topline firm, strong, and level with a high-set tail curled neatly. She moved without effort. A star of the future. BP

2ND - Lacsar It Takes Two (IKC) (Ms M & Miss E Jackson & Wright) A little older and slightly less bone. She had an appealing feminine expression from dark eyes. I’d like a little more body to her, which should come with age. On the move, she is light and energetic.

3RD - Trixwood Golden Asahi (Mrs C A Best-Rawlings)

Junior Bitch Entries: 3 Absentees: 1

1ST - Lacsar Don’t Nutella Soul (IKC) (Ms M & Miss E Jackson & Wright) Pleasing girl who was ideal for size and age. Her eyes were small and almond in shape, clean and dark with a bright expression. She had a moderate stop and nicely developing cheeks. Her chest was in keeping with her size, with strong straight legs to small feet. Firm topline with a short loin. Moderate hind angulation and muscle tone, which showed on the move, giving a positive, light stride.

2ND - Chadbrook Suki Su (Miss J Young): Her head was a pleasant shape with a clear furrow from her stop. Neatly set ears and defined cheeks. Enough length of neck, ample bone, and decent feet. Clean underline with a slight tuck-up. Needs a little more muscle condition.

High-set ears, triangular, inclining forwards following the flow of her neck. Her topline was firm, and her tail was thick and curled over her back.  

2ND - Rahima Im Seren at Xenora (Mr A Knipe) – Slightly smaller in stance. Her ears were very mobile and set high. She had dark, small eyes, clean and set obliquely. Slight arch to neck into shoulders, well-filled chest with appropriate markings. Sufficient bone to tight, firm feet. Enough spring to ribs and short muscular loin.

On the move, she was light and energetic. BB 

2ND - Ir Ch Lacsar The Real Thing (IKC) (Ms M & Miss E Jackson & Wright) – A lot to like about this girl and pushed hard for her prize, ideal length to height with lovely balance. Her head had the small spots above her eyes, white to the under part of her muzzle, cheeks, throat and chest. Plenty of bone to her legs, with slight spring at pasterns. Firm topline and short muscular loin, high-set tail. Ample width to thighs, sufficient angulation, matching her fore. RCC.

1ST - Almolka for Eva in Blue Jeans at Xandaloo (Miss J Johnson) - This young lady can show some of the younger ones how to move. She had a breed-typical head and expression with small, dark almond-shaped eyes, small triangular ears inclining slightly forward. Following the line of her neck. Her topline was firm, and her loin was muscular. Her feet were not her forte, but with age it’s to be expected. At 13.5yrs and still in such good condition, she is doing very well. Congratulations, BV
