Good make and shape, correct skull but would like a shade more length to foreface. Good neck and shoulder with desired return. Well ribbed back and firm in loin. Moderate bend of stifles and in good condition. Moved true out and back and had carriage .

Puppy Dog

1st Jayanel Alfabeti Spageti (Mrs K Collier)

Clean in outline with a good length of leg. Well proportioned head and gentle expression, arched neck and well placed shoulders, good fill in front. Depth to chest and well ribbed back to a firm loin. Moderate bend of stifles, in good muscular condition. True out and back and covered the ground with carriage. Should have a bright future as he matures. Best Puppy.

2nd. Rocky Succession of Baron at Madifrey (Imp Pol) (Miss A O'day)

Lovely head piece, well proportioned with good length and strength to foreface. Strong neck and well placed shoulders, just needs to fill in front as he matures. Ribs sprung and well back. He has well made quarters and muscle developing well. Moved true out and back but a little bum high at this stage..

Post grad

1st Tarmachan Robiola (Mrs F & Mr M Buchanan & Maclaren)

Clean in outline and showing balance. Masculine head, with domes skull and defined occiput, would prefer slightly darker eye for my taste. Enough neck and lay of shoulder, depth to the chest, well ribbed back, a moderate bend to stifle. In super muscular condition and well presented, with a super harsh jacket. Very good tail of good length. Moved true out and back maintaining his outline.

20 months, very smart, well balanced throughout and in super condition. Masculine head with a gentle expression and low set ears which were neatly folded. Well arched neck and well made front assembly, with straight legs. Good fill in front and depth to the chest. Ribs extend well back and firm in loin level topline and good finish. Enough bend of stifle and in hard condition. Super coat texture and well presented. Moved with drive and carriage. Pleased to award RCC.

2nd Soufriere Paserelle Bateau (Mrs S Marshall)

Good head proportions but would prefer a little more width of muzzle. Arched neck and well made front assembly, could do with a little more fill in front. Ribs well back, topline a little soft today. Good bend of stifle and well set tail. Moved steadily and had a lovely temperament.

Open

1st Ch/Ir Ch Claela Infinity and Beyond (Mrs P & Miss C Mcgregor)

Super head piece with a gentle expression, arched neck and well made front, would just prefer a little more leg length to complete the picture. Well ribbed back and firm in topline, good finish to the croup and well set tail. Well made quarters and in good muscular condition. Harsh jacket but a little too much underneath, used himself well on the move.

2nd Ch Jayanel Royal Affair at Katillien (Misses C L, E R & K A Cooper & O'brien)

Upstanding dog who has good proportions throughout but just still needs to fully fill his frame as still young. Masculine head, well proportioned with a good length of muzzle and nicely folded long ears. Good neck and shoulder placement with correct straight front legs. Level topline and well ribbed back with a well set and correctly carried long tail. Enough bend of stifle. Needs to settle in front as he was rather happy today, had carriage in profile.
