1st: 16 EVANS, Mrs H J Tarkanya Ritas Raspberry

Understandably raw at the moment and needs time to come together but has many attributes to appraise. Well-shaped headpiece with dark eyes and well-set ears. Has good bone and presented in excellent body and muscle. Stands on lovely feet and moved soundly when settled.

1st: 8 CULLUM, Miss Caroline Jaudas Pinball Wizard

Masculine headed youngster of strength in make, he has a dark eye of good shape. Needs to drop in brisket and develop in forechest, but has time. Topline firm, tail well set on. In fit condition and has good feet. Moved with drive from the rear, time will improve the whole picture.

1st: 4 BATES, Mrs A & Mr M Crumpsbrook Hendrick

Nicely headed young chap with good balance of skull and muzzle proportions. Shoulders well laid and topline strong with well-muscled loin. Has very good width of thigh and strong driving action from the rear, just needs to tidy up in front action. Lovely quality bone.

2nd: 18 GRAHAM, Mrs Cathy & GRAHAM, Mr Andrew Crumpsbrook Jager

Smaller and less masculine in outlook than 1 at present, but very much a baby at this age. Has strength in topline and well arched toes. Needs time to body up and mature.

1st: 35 UHERKOVICHOVA, Miss Edita Ulys Du Pic Des Berlanches Avec Exelby (Imp Fra)

Up to size well-muscled young lad presented in great order. Has skull with good brain room, dark eye and well-set ears. Well laid shoulders lead to a strong topline and he has the advantage of having a good length of rib. Strong and firm in loin. Quarters well angled and muscled. Produces a good strong driving action from the hock going away. Just wish he was a little less proud of his tail.

2nd: 5 BODIMEADE, Mrs Lea Car Z Brumovskeho Udoli (Cze Imp)

Smaller in stature than 1 with a little less bone, this is a soundly made male who definitely had his naughty head on today! Liked his head and eye shape and colour, strength in neck, and good firm muscle all through.

1st: 13 DISNEY, Mr Peter Kamaze Dance In The Dark

This male is super for type and is of correct size with ideal body proportions. Lovely headpiece with dark eyes, strength in jaw, and good length. Reachy neck of good length leads to a well placed shoulder, flowing freely into his topline. Well ribbed back and firm in loin. His topline slopes gently to his well set on tail, and well angled and muscled quarters. Moved out well, but could really do with a handler who can stride out with him to better advantage as he looked to have a very long-striding gait. His overall type and freedom in action took him to RBD in good company today.

2nd: 32 SIDDONS, Mr R J & Mrs J A A Foxy Gozer Uut't Vossebeltseveld (Imp NLD)

Smart headed male of maturity who was presented in first class order. Grand headpiece with good balance of skull and muzzle proportions and useful length. Has strength in topline and well sprung ribs. Quarters are well muscled with let down hocks. Just not quite the front angles of 1, which showed in his movement and was the deciding factor today.

1st: 25 LOGIE, Miss Erin & BRAIDWOOD, Mrs Fiona Graf Iii Vom Busshof At Albadhu (Imp) Deu

Neatly shaped compact male of super breed type all through. Has lovely dark clean eyes and high set ears. Well positioned shoulders ensure his neck flows cleanly into his firm topline and on to a well set tail. Has depth of brisket and well sprung ribs. Stands over his hocks strongly and uses them to great advantage on the move. His super movement aided his success in this class.

2nd: 21 JENKS, Mrs J Albadhu Hidden Potential

Deeper all through then 1 and with quite a lot of coat on him. Lovely headpiece of length and with strength in jaw and well shaped eyes of good colour. Stands on excellent feet and overall condition was marvellous. Tended to be a bit naughty and fight against his handler a bit on the move, which affected his action today.

1st: 22 LOGIE, Miss Erin & BRAIDWOOD, Mrs Fiona Sh Ch Albadhu Walk On The Wildside

Really taken by this chap, as I think he is top drawer and has many breed attributes to appraise. Lovely head shape with length and strength. He has balance in all his proportions – head, body, height, and length, and is well constructed at both ends presenting a superbly sound picture all through. Has the added advantage of being presented in immaculate order and first class condition, which takes him a step above. Smart mover working well with his handler, producing a long free stride. BD & BIS.

2nd: 19 GRIFFITHS ROSE, Mrs Nicola Vonstrahlend Kam Das Leben

Smaller male than 1 and a little less masculine all through, but everything in proportion and with good balance. Has strength in topline and loin, and very well muscled quarters showing excellent development of first and second thighs. Moved out well with drive from his low hocks.

1st: 27 POWELL, Ms Jan & MURRELL, Mr Anthony Sh Ch Crumpsbrook Woodrush

Worthy title holder with many appealing characteristics of the breed to praise. Has balance of fore and hindquarter angles and uses these to good advantage on the move. Stands with quality bone on very good feet with strong pasterns. Long striding mover.

2nd: 11 DISNEY, Mr Peter Sh Ch Wonglepong Will's Faramir ShCEx VW

Lovely length of head and strength in jaw, however was just giving a little bit away in feet and pasterns against 1 today. Excellent width of thigh which is used to advantage on the move. A great character and enthusiastic mover, lovely temperament.

1st: 31 SAYNOR, Mrs K Ekkolander Rumour

Very pretty young lady with feminine outlook. Has all the essentials you’d want at this stage, including a lovely outgoing temperament. Holds her topline well standing and moving, and uses her super quarters to great advantage when moving away. Lovely dark eyes add to her beautiful expression. One for the future! BPIS.

2nd: 6 CAILE, Mrs K Kamaze's Dancing Queen

Larger in frame than 1, but soundly made and in good body. Stands on excellent feet and has lots of conformational points which appeal. Very well muscled for her age, too.

3rd: 1 ARNOLD, Miss N D & FLEMING, Mr John Asterpoint Columbia

Quality class, and now I see they are all related I can understand the similarities!

1st: 2 BARGMAN, Mrs J Crumpsbrook Anki

Lovely feminine b with nothing exaggerated. She is moderate all through with balance of construction and proportions. Beautiful head and keen intelligent outlook. She flows together very nicely all through, being clean in neck, with well laid shoulders, firm in topline, deep in brisket and well ribbed back. She has very neatly angled quarters and great strength in hock. Moved out so well with such positive action. I really liked her, and he will get even better with time and maturity but today could simply not be denied BB & RBIS.

2nd: 10 DARBY, Mr G T & Mrs J Crumpsbrook Anneke To Incadar

Another of lovely type and close up to the winner in nearly all respects – I'm sure they will change places frequently as there is little to separate them. Many of the comments for 1 apply, however I just felt today that 1 was a little more up on the leg and had better height to length ratio. Another youngster to be proud of, who will go on to do well.

1st: 17 FOREMAN, Mr P & Miss H J Toberworry Little Lies

Sound and honest sort who produced a good long stride and ground covering action which took her to this class win today. Holds her typical outline well at all times, and has particularly good development of muscle all through which she uses to great advantage on the move. A real powerhouse and useful sort.

2nd: 28 POWELL, Ms Jan & MURRELL, Mr Anthony Tureagh Crystal Cider

Close up to 1, and another sound honest sort with many breed points to appreciate. She also has a strong topline and is well ribbed back. Strides out well on the move.

1st: 24 LOGIE, Miss Erin & BRAIDWOOD, Mrs Fiona Sh Ch Albadhu Final Encounter

Quality typical b, built on a slightly larger frame perhaps but all through has great type and many breed qualities. Super head and expression with useful length and strength of jaw. Strong in neck, well laid shoulder and useful return of upper arm. Well ribbed back to short loin, and with a well set on tail. Strongly made well muscled quarters complete the picture on the stack, and she certainly doesn’t disappoint on the move. Strides out with positivity and great ground cover.

2nd: 14 EVANS, Mrs H J Tarkanya Bonnies Beauty

Not the head shape and work of 1, but has lovely dark eyes and a good strong topline. Nice to go over and presented in lovely order, she moved out with a useful length of stride and power from her hocks.

1st: 23 LOGIE, Miss Erin & BRAIDWOOD, Mrs Fiona Sh Ch Cindy Vom Hundsfeld At Albadhu (Imp) Deu

Headed up a nice trio of senior ladies in this good class. Lovely type to this b with soundness and moderation all through. Shapely head with expressive eyes and big open nose. Has balance of forehand and hindquarter angles producing lovely static balance at all times, and she uses these angles to great advantage on the move to produce a long striding economic action on the go around. Her excellent movement clinched her the win in this class, and later in the challenge she went on to claim a much-deserved RBB & BVIS.

2nd: 37 WARD, Mrs Heather Joyce Sh Ch Braccpoint Song Of The Wind For Gemlorien.

A great sort and looked an absolute picture free stood, showing off her excellent balance in construction all through. Feminine in head and with dark eyes. Lovely to go over as she is presented in excellent order. Just a tad distracted on the move today which cost her a higher placing on this occasion.
