Apologies. This was one of two critiques that were corrupted and had to be rewritten from the start.

Norwegian Buhund

Limit. 1. Draccus Obsidan at Bucamereru. Alone but a quality Buhund. Black bitch. Nice type. Well balanced. Typical head with nice eye and correctly placed, well-shaped ear. Good depth of chest and well ribbed. Good bone. Could have a tighter foot. Nice topline and good highest tail which is correctly curled. Very nice jacket of good length and super hard texture. Moved well and was well handled.

Old English Sheepdog

This was a nice class to judge. Puppy 1. Mkaylen Savanna Pearl. Ten month old bitch. Thought her quite a nice promising youngster. Overall presents the correct outline. Good head with good width across the skull and good strong muzzle. Nicely pigmented eye rim. Good length to her strong neck. Well laid shoulder. Good short body and well sprung. Well angulated rear. Good tight foot. Moved well. Super harsh coat and good dense undercoat. 2. Kerjalee Dressed To Impress at Mopill. Another quality bitch. Pleasing head of correct proportions and of required strength. Good deep chest. Good bone. Not quite as short as 1. Good breadth of a strong loin. Good hind angulation. Super reach in front although could be little better behind. Good jacket. 3. Amblehart Mr Banks At Darwillow

Special Yearling 1. Shabbybo Mineral Mist. One year old male. I liked him for his overall size and shape. Good head of correct proportions. Nice neck of good length and decent strength. Well laid shoulder. Good bone. Well sprung. Good bend of stifle and well let down hocks. Moved well with lovely front action. 2. Kerjalee About Me. Nice bitch but today wasn’t too confident just needs some time. Pleasing overall body proportions. Nice rear. Just needs to grow some confidence and preferred the length of muzzle on 1.

Limit 1. Melleonars Keep It CoolBranston at Jandoes JW. Really liked this male. Masculine square dog combing strength and balance. Super head properties with good strength to the muzzle. Well defined stop. Good eye and correct ear carriage. Good front and stands on good bone and good tight foot. Short and well ribbed. Good depth to the chest. Good hind angulation which is in no way overdone. Correct gait with ideal head carriage. In the best of jackets and well put down. IN good hard muscular condition. BOB.

Pyrenean Mountain Dog

Puppy 1. Kalkasi Purely By Chance. Young raw youngster. On initial inspection it is clear that he is of a lovely shape and type and promising. However today rather unsure of himself. Did pull himself together enough for me to see a lovely side gait and correctly carried tail. He has a very typical head and a beautiful pigment. Just needs time.

Special Yearling 1. Kalkasi As If By Magic. 8 month old and a little more sure of herself than her brother. Impressive head with a beautifully curved skull of good width. Clean in back skull. Lovely shaped eye and good pigment. Good neck and shoulder. Lovely bone and feet. Needs to still fill out but a lovely body of correct proportions. Good rear. Moved well. In super jacket. Not quite the side gait of her brother. Would like to see both when fully mature.

Limit 1. Shanlimore Marvyn. Upstanding dog. Good head with the best of eyes. Good width to skull although to be critical would prefer a little more underjaw. Good bone and nice feet. Just stands a fraction off in front. Good neck and shoulder. Good topline. Lovely hind quarters. Moved well with the best of tail carriage. Good coat.

Open 1. Ch Kalkasi Just Because. Really loved this male. Have written in my notes little to dislike. He has a beautiful head and expression. Is well made through. Best of bone and feet. Excellent rear. Sound as anything on the move. Finished in a correct coat with good mane and fringing. BOB.

Puppy 1. Mohnesse The Charm Master. S/W. Overall presents a beautiful shape and is so well balanced. Has such a lovely clean head with correct overall proportions and good back skull. Nice dark correctly set eye and the best of ears. Stands on good bone and good tight foot. Wouldn’t want him any bigger but when he fills into himself, he will be a real stallion of a dog. Good topline and tail set. Good rear with well let down hocks. Moved with drive, was just picking up a fraction in front today. 2. Oakcroft Amazing Star. Another of lovely overall type and balance. Very nice head piece with a clean skull and correct amount of stop. Good eye. Well made through. Good topline. Good rear. Still in puppy coat. Moved very well. 3. Oakcroft Graceful Star

Special Yearling 1. Ferngrove’s Code Blue. B/Merle. Head markings not his fortune but when you see past this he has a very nice clean quality head and correct eye. Neat small ears which are used correctly. Nice through the neck and shoulder. Good straight forelegs of decent bone and good feet. Well sprung. Good topline. Nice angulation at the stifle. Moved well and accurately. 2. Myther Black Tarquin at Stormhead. Another quality male and another whose markings need seeing through on closer examination. Pleasing head with good ears. Angled well fore and rear and of good bone. Narrower through than 1. 3. Iskander Bohemia Classic for Oakcroft

Has a super head of correct proportions, correct amount of stop, clean back skull, neat ears and good ey. Nice front and good rear, correct topline and moves precisely with correct head carriage. Very nice Shetland. BOB. 2. Mohnesse Meliya. Tri bitch. From the same kennel as 1 and equally as smart and typey. Good head of decent length and lovely and clean. Good ears used well. Well-made through. Good topline and tail set. Moved very well fore and aft. In good coat and condition. 3. Kelgrove Midsummer Blue at Stormhead

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Puppy. Decent class. The first two litter mates clearly stood way. 1. Wellsstaffs Shine A Light. Black bitch. Promising Staffordshire. Good strength throughout the head, which is short and well proportioned, and with well developed cheeks, yet is still feminine. Good short neck and well laid shoulders. Super front assembly. Good topline and tail set. Well angulated at the rear. Moved soundly and with drive. 2. Wellsstaffs Young Warrier. Litter brother to 1.

Correct topline and nice and short in the loin. Well sprung. Well-muscled rear. Correct tail although a little proud of it, which in a young male was not penalised today.

All the attributes of 1 apply here also. Well made through and another very sound mover. Just felt, and I am being hypercritical here, that he was fraction down on his front pasterns as compared to 1.

Another well-made Stafford who is of good size and is very well proportioned and balanced. Good head which is deep through and short. Good cheek muscles and super dark eye. Nice front assembly.

Open 1. This was an excellent class. Ch Michandy Its Showtime At Pupstar JW. Brown I have judged this dog before awarding him a junior stakes at WKC last year. I thought him super then and my opinion has not changed and with maturity he has only improved. He is just well made overall and presents and very typical and moderate silhouette. Add to this his beautiful long fine clean head with lovely dark eye, plenty behind the tail, a super coat and typical poodle sound action he is hard to get past. An easy winner for me and was sorry not to see him progress further. 2. Raeannes Hidden Liaison. Quality Black. This black pleased me for size and balance. Another with a quality head piece of correct proportions. Good neck and shoulder, correct topline and tail set. Correct hind angulation. Good bone.

Excels in head which is fine and of super length, good eye, and excellent pigment. Good front assembly with enough bone for a bitch. Correct topline which was held on the move. Well ribbed back. Correct tail set and carriage. Well angulated muscular rear with let-down hocks. She excels on the move and is a delight to watch, clean fore and aft and on side gait she is just all poodle.

Good head proportions, decent underjaw, lovely dark eye and clean in skull. Good front. Just falls off a little at the croup which detracts from the overall shape.
