1. Revillas Rodriguez’s Khumbila Centre Stage. Nicely balanced puppy, with a pleasing breed typical outline both standing and on the move. Attractive head of good proportions and dark oval eyes. Decent forehand with a strong slightly arched neck fitting smoothly into his well placed shoulders, well sprung ribs, strong topline and his tail is set on and carried well.

1. Revillas Rodriguez’s Khumbila Causing Chaos. Preferred the size of this well balanced and stylish youngster, caught my eye on the move with his free and jaunty action with good drive from behind. Well-proportioned head, his dark oval eyes giving a typical aloof expression. Very good front assembly with a nice sweep of neck fitting smoothly into his shoulders, well ribbed and nicely angulated behind. His tail is set on and carried well. Coat presented beautifully. BPD, just pipped for Best puppy by the slightly more mature bitch puppy. 

2. Gilman’s Mytilene Hot Shot. Bigger built lad, and not quite as compact as the winner. He has a pleasing well balanced masculine head. Decent forehand, strong neck fitting nicely into well placed shoulders, well ribbed with a strong topline and nicely angulated hindquarters. His beautifully prepared coat is of correct texture. Once settled, he moved out freely with a pleasing side profile.

1. Hazelhurt’s Orcavoe Romeo at Corrolls. Two quality boys, just preferred the tail carriage of this eye catching well grown lad and he moved just a little more fluidly on the go around. Pleasing masculine head, dark oval eyes, excellent pigmentation and good underjaw, giving an aloof expression. Very good forehand, strong neck fitting nicely into well placed shoulders, well ribbed with a strong topline, muscular hindquarters and high tail set. Beautifully presented in full coat. Moved effortlessly around the ring with a proud head carriage giving him a breed typical outline.

2. Hattrell’s Orcavoe Genesis at Khinjan. Another good quality dog, who impressed for his outline and overall balance. Lovely head, masculine, well-proportioned, dark oval eyes, with a good underjaw all aiding his arrogant expression. Very good front assembly, strong neck with slight arch, well ribbed, firm topline and excellent hindquarters. Moved soundly and steadily, would like his tail carried a little higher. Expertly presented with correct textured full coat.

1. Gilman’s Mytilene Hot Shot. See PD notes, moved much better in this class with good drive from behind.

Open Dog (6, 1abs)

1. Hattrell’s Ch Ithera in Your Dreams at Khinjan JW. This boy headed a competitive and quality class, and caught my eye with his well balanced profile and he has great ring presence. Underneath his immaculately presented coat, he is sturdy, with well placed shoulders, good ribbing and nicely angulated hindquarters. Liked his well proportioned head, dark eyes and aloof expression. Came into his own on the move, with his free flowing jaunty action with good drive from behind and proud head carriage giving a pleasing breed typical outline. I was delighted to award him the DCC

2. Hazelhurst’s Ch Corrolls Easy Rider. Close up and so much to like about this boy with his well balanced profile and he also has great ring presence especially on the move. Lovely head and expression, very masculine with a good muzzle to skull ratio and pleasing aloof expression. Very good forehand, everything fitting in smoothly from his nicely arched neck, well laid shoulders and level topline. His sturdy body and well-muscled hindquarters with good tail set gave a very pleasing breed typical outline. His full coat was presented to the highest standard. Delighted to award him the RDCC

VB (1)

1. Hattrell’s Ch Khinjan Bellisima JW. This 7 year old girl caught my eye with her well balanced profile and she has great ring presence especially on the move with a proud head carriage and lovely tail set. Lovely head, very feminine and good muzzle to skull ratio and aloof expression. Very good forehand, everything fitting in smoothly from her nicely arched neck, well laid shoulders and level topline. Her strong body and well-muscled hindquarters with good tail set gave a very pleasing breed typical outline. Shown in super coat and condition. I thought that her drive from the rear, coupled with her ring presence gave her the edge today to take RBCC over some of the younger girls. Also Best Veteran in Breed. Delighted to hear that she was later placed Utility Veteran Group 3.

MPB (2)

1. Culverhouse & Roberts’ Culversapso Gypsy Rose Lee. This young lady is such a confident showgirl already. Nice reach of neck, well laid shoulders, well ribbed and firm topline with nicely muscled quarters for such a baby. Delightfully feminine head, well-proportioned and with the desired aloof expression. She impressed for her breed typical outline and overall balance. Expertly presented with correct textured coat. Moved out with a jaunty air. Just pipped by the more mature PB winner for best puppy. One to watch.

2. Bushell’s Jamikasoka Ziggy Zigah. Pretty girl, moved out steadily, not as confident as the winner as yet, and tending to drop her tail on the move. She has a feminine head of good proportions, dark eyes and excellent pigment. Decent front assembly, ample neck, well laid shoulders and a nice sturdy body, and her coat is developing well. Hopefully time and practice will enable her to gain her confidence and show herself off to advantage.

PB (2)

1. Hazelhurst’s Mytilene Magical Moments at Corrolls. It’s not just the immaculate presentation and quality coat with this stunning girl when you get your hands on and feel what’s underneath her immaculately presented coat, she is sturdy and so well constructed with everything fitting together smoothly from her nicely arched neck, well laid shoulders, excellent ribcage and firm topline to her high set tail. Loved her head and aloof expression. She looked a picture standing and on the move flowing around the ring with such ease and confidence. I was delighted to award her BPB, Best Puppy in Breed and very happy to hear that she was later placed Utility Puppy Group 4.

2. Barnett’ & Carter’s Alamiks Same Old Scene. This attractive girl is smaller and slightly finer in type than winner but all in proportion and nicely balanced. Feminine head, well shaped dark eyes and excellent pigment. Good front with well laid shoulders and enough neck, needs to develop further in body, but she has good ribbing, firm topline and well angulated hindquarters. Her nicely presented coat was of good texture. Moved out positively with good side gait and tail carriage. Will need time to develop further.
