Lovely venue with a large ring, I was made to feel most welcome and had 2 super stewards who kept me on the straight and narrow.

Baby Puppy Dog 2 1ab

1st Mears Ambersun Winter Storm Very promising 5 month old puppy with lovely front angles, level topline nice stifle for his age. Good bone with tight feet. Attractive head with dark pigment. A bit naughty on the move but very nice overall. BBPIS

Veteran Dog 7 1ab

1st Maynards Ch Chinnordale Cue Card JW I’ve given this boy a first before, he’s a lovely example of the breed, he’s just so sound, standing four square with a beautiful head with an intelligent expression, good reach of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Dead level topline with correct tail set, nice rib on him, short coupled, lovely turn of stifle. Moved out true front and back. Shown in lovely coat and really looking super for his age BVIS

2nd Loverock & Waldron-Smith Lovissa Space Dust JW VW The oldest boy in the class and still looking spot on. He has a lovely soft gentle head, you just smile at how handsome he is. Super front, dead level topline lovely turn of stifle. Just lost out on movement to one.

Puppy Dog 9

1st Ellis Tenfield Dunkeld Dingo

2nd Sloan & Hunter Palmonas Call My Bluff 10 ½ month old puppy straight front with cat like feet. Didn’t have the front assembly as one. Level topline, well made back end, straight when viewed from rear. More scopey than one, guessing he will look lovely when he fills out.

3rd McCormack Flyngalee Topsy Turvy

Junior Dog 10 3a

1st Jackson-Haines Leighsham The Cheeky Elf JW This was the hardest class of the day for me and the decision of which way round these two boys should stand was splitting hairs. Both are lovely for their ages and I would be delighted to own either. This darker coated boy is really beginning to look the business. Lovely head dark pigment. Straight front good bone with tight catlike feet. Level topline, freestanding with a wagging tail, demanding your eye. Think his coat is slightly on the blow. He is just really balanced.

2nd Callegari Double Willow Quedate Conmigo Lovely masculine head, Strong reachy neck flowing into well placed shoulders, Super bone. Straight when viewed from front and back. Super turn of stifle. Just thought one was slightly firmer in his topline than two.

3rd Taylor Thornywait Sky Diver

Yearling Dog 6

1st England Brekswood Gentleman Jack Lovely out line. Front and rear angles are good, has a dead level topline. Super bone and feet, good reach of neck, straight front legs with elbows close fitting, deep through the chest and short coupled, Melting expression with lovely head proportions. Moved true.

2nd Scott-Briggs Largymore Ravagier JW Stronger head than one but in no way unattractive. Nice front angles level topline slightly longer cast than one. Well-made backend. Lovely coat with gentle waves. Moved out really well.

3rd Moores Tenfield Klipspringer with Auryngra

Maiden Dog 9

1st Smith Goldmarker Aldebaran Just a 6 month old chap who has the sweetest expression never stopped wagging his tail and took it all in his stride. Very balanced in outline, straight front with tight feet. Nice rear angles with a good width to him overall. Very rock and roll on his movement at the moment.

2nd McCormack Flyngalee Topsy Turvey Just preferred the overall angles and out line of one over this boy but another baby who shows lots of promise. Last time I judged I found the quality in the lower classes disappointing, but we have some lovely minor puppies at the moment, and it will be very interesting watching how they come on.

3rd Henson & Luckham Flyngalee Hunky Dory

Novice Dog 9

1st Wallingtons Ambersun With Hearts Of Oak He has nice head and lovely angles front and back and stands on straight legs, dead level topine and is in good coat, he moved out well coming and going, just very proud of his tail.
