1st. Stephenson’s - Kamgaard Kyffin for Brawdor. Beautiful head, eye & expression on this 14-month-old boy. Very good forehand into straight well boned front, level topline to good tailset, good quarters. He still needs to fill out in body, but the essentials are there, he moved freely with a good stride.

 2nd. Young’s - Laakso Karo at Torloisk. Good head shape but I preferred the expression on the winner. This 17-month boy is well bodied for his age, he has a good forehand, with nice bone, good topline & super quarters. He moved out well enough but didn’t have the length of stride as he first boy, excellent coat & condition.

Good tailset & excellent quarters with super muscletone, he was a little unsettled on the move but still showed a good reach of stride in profile.

2nd. Cuss’ - Norvin Krakjen. Another boy with a good head, eye & expression, he used his ears well. Good through the forehand, good depth, excellent topline & quarters, presenting a very good outline. He moved out ok but was not as positive in front as the winner.

What a super class of mischievous 10-month-old litter sisters, whilst it was very difficult to assess movement on the pair of them the glimpses I got were good.

1st. Gilbert’s - Bowerhinton Bailey Grace for Balsemasi. Super body shape, she is well put together & has everything in the right place. Pretty head with a lovely expression from her dark well shaped eye. Good forehand, straight front, good depth for age, she holds a good topline & has shapely quarters. Nothing to choose between them, his girl just put a little bit more in on the move which gave her the class.

1st. Williams’ - Laakso Kaunis at Akritiko. Exquisite 16-month-old girl with a head & expression to die for. Super make & shape, her forehand is textbook with quality bone down to neat feet, level topline, strong short loin, super depth of chest & good ribbing. Excellent quarters with good muscletone, good tailset, on the move she is sound & true with a very good stride. Her breed type, look of quality & joie de vivre totally captivated me & it was a very close call for the big green card, RBCC.

Her tail has a good curl & is carried high, powerful quarters which she used well, her coat & conditioning was excellent, and she moved soundly with a bit of style. The more she moved the better she got, on the final run around she upped the ante & I was delighted to award her the BCC & BOB. I was later told this win gave her, her title – many congratulations!
