1. YOUNG & DUIGENAN, Mr & Mrs M Mangham Foogel Candeloro At Onyxro (imp Fin). 2 different types, preferred the overall balance of 1. Bigger set than 2 slightly larger in head than I would normally like, but everything in proportion, good neck and shoulder, level topline and short coupled, found his rear stronger than 2 with good width of thigh and correct length to lower thigh, good coat to him, balanced on the move showing a free flowing gait. RBD 2. WEBB, Mrs Tracy & FERGUSON, Mrs L Tigre Di Casa Ghini. Finer in type than 1, but still very raw, liked his head shape, still needs to body out as looks a bit leggy at the mo., square shape and correct in size, straighter in thigh and hock than I would like, moved ok, but preferred overall balance of the winner. 3.

1.MORT, Mrs Lisa Arcticbreeze Top Secret. Pleasing bitch of good square shape, liked her head shape and good front, tight curls to coat and well muscled behind, not the reach in front on the move which showed in her side gait, but enough about her to allow me to award her the class.

1.MORT, Mrs Lisa Arcticbreeze Keep A Secret. Sister of PG winner, of a similar mould, lovely square shape when stacked, good head and expression clean front with straight front legs, and tight feet, good rib and good proportions to her body, liked her rear quarters and turn of stifle, found her in good coat and nothing amiss in her movement, would just like a little more oomph to her.

1. HELLER, Miss W Arcticbreeze Hopscotch To Floreydown. Brown bitch who although a tad small for me and stood alone in the class was still a worthy winner. Strong head with good planes and correct proportions in foreface and skull, good neck set on well laid shoulders, liked her front and good rib, level topline and square in body. Strong loin and good tail set, well muscled behind and strong on the move almost “jaunty”. Pleased to award her the class and BB.
