1. Myers’ Hyerdunscar Getting Messi with Optimus. Nicely proportioned dog, he has good proportions of muzzle and skull, open nostrils, good lips, neat ears, lovely dark eyes that are set well apart, moderate wrinkle, strong round neck, ideally would like a better lay of shoulder but has straight forelegs, compact feet, nice depth to his chest for his age, ribs of moderate length, moderate rear angulation, correct croup and tail set, good foot placement, on the move a little rounded in his top-line but nicely balanced, will improve with maturity,not overdone, RBD, BPD & BPIS.

Two different dogs.

1. McMenemy’s Islekeeper Missouri for Cairnmount. Square in outline, lovely bone and feet to him, he has a masculine head, neat medium size ears set high, dark eyes, prefer a little more definition of stop, good chest, good open nostrils, not overdone in cheek, prefer better lay of shoulder, strong neck but a little bit short, level top-line, correct rear angulation, low set hocks, tail just about right length, ideally like a bit more freedom in his movement but he is of a type.

2. Downs/Myers’ Optimus Johnnie Walker (AI). Stronger built dog, larger ear, a bit overdone in lip, square muzzle, correct bone, lovely deep chest but he is longer cast, also down on his pasterns, ribs of good length, moderate rear angulation with well muscled and low set hocks, positive mover but I preferred the proportions on 1.

Brindle dog, strong, powerful masculine dog, balanced head proportions, square muzzle, ears set well, medium size, moderate wrinkle, excellent bone and feet, has some forechest to him, strong muscular neck, good depth of chest, well sprung ribs, prefer a little firmer top-line, strong rear quarters with nice width in stifle, low set hocks, in profile he was a positive mover, moving away he is a fraction close in his rear, good condition, BD & RBIS.

1. Ellis-Payne’s Chayo Golden Nectar. Just 6 months old, very raw and needs to develop in her temperament, she has correct substance for her frame, feminine head, a little loose in eye but she has a square skull, correct stop, not overdone in wrinkle, clean neck to her, open nostrils and a blunt muzzle, a little down on her pasterns, good length of rib, strong rear quarters with nice width in thigh and low set hocks, still to tighten in top-line but she is a steady mover just very raw and needs time.

1. McMenemy’s Hyerdunscar Is Stepping Out with Cairnmount. Not totally confident with herself but she has a lovely feminine head, neat ears, square blunt muzzle, defined stop, moderate wrinkle when alert and ears are high set, strong muscular neck, straight forelegs with excellent compact feet, has some fill in front, still needs to fill out in chest, a little soft in top-line, ideally like her shorter in loin, muscled strong rear with low set hocks, correct strong tail set and good length, just needs time to settle, BPB.

Stood alone, this bitch has a correctly proportioned head with good muzzle to skull, a little overdone in lip for ideal, open nostrils, eyes correctly set and dark and neat, well made chest, straight forelegs, a little flat in foot, deep chest, strong neck, she has a balanced front assembly with ribs of good length, a little out of coat at the minute, angular rear with low set hocks and her tail is too short but in profile she has good parts to her with nice footfall, just a little bit overdone in lip for me.

Two slightly different bitches in type.

1. Ellis-Payne’s Joybull Vanilla Fudge at Chayo.

Square skull, ears set well, dark eyes, a little short in foreface for ideal, moderate neck, would prefer a better lay of shoulder, good bone, like 1 showing a bit of an undercarriage and could have a firmer top-line, compact feet, down in pastern a little compared to 1, correct short loin, moderate rear, tail, like 1, is just ok for length, steady mover, two different bitches, just preferred the head on 1.
