1st: 4694 GREGG, Mr Roy & GREGG, Mrs Marion Bambusa Noble Heir – A lovely upstanding male who commands your attention for his balanced outline. He has super bone and substance without appearing coarse. His forehand and quarters are correctly angulated and his well sprung ribs are deep and extend well back to a short loin. His back is short and level and he has a good set on. His skull is flat and long with an equal ratio of foreface that is strong with tight fitting lips. He used his well set ears and his dark eyes are correct for size and shape attributing to a desired expression. He could easily have won the cc today but on the move, he stepped onto a covered drain which spooked him and he refused to move purposefully or hold his ears and tail correctly. He refused to show in the challenge which was disappointing. I will follow his career with interest.

1st: 4700 PICKERING, Mr Joe & PICKERING, Mrs Dawn Jolliver Dave Ja Vu – A bigger type of dog who is well balanced but would benefit from a tad less of him all over. He has a masculine head of good proportions and portrays a typical expression. His neck is moderate for length and fits into well placed shoulders with a correct ratio of upper arm, tight elbows and well boned straight forelegs. His ribs are well sprung and carried back to a short loin and his quarters are correctly angulated and developed in muscletone. He moved true both fore and aft and was presented in good condition, RCC.

1st: 4705 TOULSON, Mr N & Mrs H Toulsyork Utterley Bonded – An honest type of dog who could be a touch more enthusiastic in the ring and I would prefer him a tad shorter for perfect balance, but this does not detract from his overall qualities. His head is flat, clean and good for length with ears and eyes of the desired shape and size to enhance his expression. His neck is well arched and flows into a well angulated front assembly and his well boned forelegs are straight. His ribs are deep and extend well back to a short loin and he holds a level topline. His quarters are well angulated and he is well developed in muscle tone. He was presented in super condition and moved with correct footfall out and back, DCC

SBB (1/0)

1st: HALL, Mr Anthony Muliebrity Purple Princess Avec Tonerrier – A well turned out bitch who would benefit from more furnishings to complete the picture. She has a decent head pattern with a correct ratio of foreface and a good bite. Enough neck into shoulders set a tad forward, level topline and a good set on. She has well turned quarters that are well developed in muscle tone and her feet are good. She moved true in front and covered the ground with good reach and drive when viewed from side profile.

1st: 4697 HAMPTON, Ms Deborah & HALL, Ms Tina Muliebrity Sunshine – A beautiful puppy who carries herself well for one so young. Her head is clean and long with eyes and ears of the correct size and shape, culminating in a typical expression. Her forehand is well angulated and her ribs extend well back to her short loin. Her quarters are well angulated and her back is short and level. She needs to drop and firm up a touch in movement as you would expect at this age, but she is a very exciting puppy and I strongly considered her for the RCC. BPIB

1st: GREGG, Mr Roy & GREGG, Mrs Marion Bambusa Just Another Dream – A nice type who has super bone and substance while maintaining femininity. Her skull is flat and her strong foreface is of the desired ratio to skull. She has a well angulated front construction, deep ribs and a short and level back. Her quarter angles are good and she was presented in lovely condition. She was unsure of her surroundings and would not cooperate with her handler as she was pulling to the side which made it difficult to assess her movement.

2nd: 4704 STEINKE, Mrs S R Temtiz Miss Prim & Proper – A nice size who has a good length of head and correctly placed eyes. She is moderately angulated in her forehand and quarters and carried a firm topline. Moved true in front and covered the ground effortlesley.

1st: 4701 RICHARDSON, Ms J Airechien Savanna – A new one to me as I have never seen her before. She has an exquisite head that is long, flat and clean with parallel head planes. Her ears are of the correct size and carriage and her dark keen eyes attribute to her characteristic expression. Her arched neck is moderate for length and fits into a copybook front assembly as her shoulders are set well back and she has enough length and return of upper arm and is deep in her ribs. Her back is short, level and firm and she has a good set on. Her quarter angles mirror her front assembly and work harmoniously together on the move as she has correct footfall and covers the ground effortlessly. She was presented in super condition and I had no hesitation to award her the CC & BOB..

2nd: 4703 SINGH, Miss Bridget Russtam Dolly Mixture At Borderbridge – A different type who portrays an elegant outline. Her head is flat, clean over her cheeks and good for length . Her ears and eyes are good for size, shape and placed correctly to enhance her expression. She has a good length of neck into a well angulated forehand as her shoulders are set well back and her forelegs are straight onto good pasterns and feet. Her ribs are well sprung and extend back to her short loin and her topline is level. Her quarters are well angulated and she has a good tail set. She was presented in lovely condition and moved true both out and back, RCC.
