Clearly a lovely character. BV

1st Place Sugarlane Gibbonback (Mr Ad & Mrs M Stewart & Boulcott). 15 months.

Upstanding and possesses an air of superiority. Love his facial expression which is

almost presumptuous. Impressive well-constructed forequarters, strong short back

with the decidedly correct slight tuck up at loin; tail well set.

Legs set well under and hindlegs moderately angulated. Typical rough textured

coat. He moved superbly. CC, BOB and Toy Group 4.

2nd Place Darkle Bronc Buster (Mr D Wells). 13 months. Pleasing youngster. Balanced head

with attractive eyes and good finish. Produces a clean, balanced outline when

square in outline. Neat well set ears; nicely domed top skull

and blunt muzzle with good width and turn-up aiding a lovely expression.

Correct, short neck and secure top line, good harsh coat.

Moderate angulations throughout. Moved accurately with a positive action which,

today, gave him the edge over 2.

very well. Eyes well set in balanced head; super nose. Lovely body;

good ribs and well placed tail. Balanced when standing. Rough textured coat.

6 months. Absolutely stunning headpiece of correct proportions; with strong

unexaggerated underjaw and captivating eyes.

Petite but nicely bodied. Stands four square on her legs with optimum

angles front and back. I felt over trimming spoilt the overall picture.

She moves superbly and was a joy to watch. Attentive showgirl.

2nd Place Xora of The Forest Moon at Galicar (Imp Bel) (Mrs J Cairns). 6 months.

Another very pretty, feminine young lady. Lovely expressive eyes.

Rather shy with teeth inspection but saw enough to satisfy.

Moves really well and naturally has ample time to mature

into her frame.

Puppy Bitch

1st Place Bayclan Shiny Pippin V Tani Kazari del Avantgarde (Mrs D L Shepherd). 8 months.

Won a class containing a trio of impressive youngsters. She produced the best

overall balance for size and shape which gave her the advantage.

Impressively well bodied for her age. Super coat texture and her tail

is well set and carried. Her balanced head giving typical

expression. On the move her accuracy and profile is quite spectacular.

Clearly one to watch.

RCC BPB & BPIB.

2nd Place Datiro Gibbonchase (Mr D Hick). 10 months. A real poser who stood attentive,

confident and full of attitude. Typical feminine head and

moves stylishly.

Neat square outline. Clean, straight front, moderate rear

angulations. Secure topline, well ribbed and tail is correctly placed.

I liked her attitude and deportment and was a serious

contender in the challenge.

2nd Place Carycares Aureli (Mrs L F Cary). Another lovely feminine lady, many of the same

 attributes apply. At 2 ½ she is maturing nicely but felt in this respect

in the challenge she looked a picture. BCC.
