1st Mitchell’s Dachyclan Connelly at Bronia 9imp Aus) – Super baby, best shape overall in the class and one of the best fronts in the entire entry. Moved with purpose and drive, RCC, when he went in the challenge for best puppy, just looked a bit long compared to the proportions of the bitch.

2nd O’Neill’s Ranglewood Pheonix at Donnadach – Another nice baby, ideal length and good ribbing, moderate proportions throughout, moved well, just not the front of 1.

1st McNaughton’s Cedavoch Circeo – Masculine red boy, loved his head proportions and expression. Good chest and ribbing, bit upright in shoulder, held a good shape stood and moving and moved out very well. Good coat.

2nd Vincent’s Swansford Padraciador at Gainscroft – Nice, very moderate boy, didn’t quite have the shape of 1, good proportions and good coat. Not enthusiastic on the move and a bit untidy behind.

OD (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st Geeson’s Abydach’s Return of the Night – By some way, the outstanding male in this entry, I liked virtually everything about him, super for size, balance, presence and movement. Correct head and eye, OK in front, super topline stood and moving, ribs well back and on the move, just floated around the ring. For BOB, just lost a little of his sparkle from the class CC.

2nd Paskin’s Kindeace Texas Ranger ShCEx – Smart dog, not the size of 1 and straighter through the front, nicely proportioned but tended to slope up in topline. Excellent mover.
