Beagle

Puppy (2,1)

1. Miss Rushforth - Campionfield Satisfaction

Rather smart 10 month old Tri coloured bitch, who presented a pleasing outline when stood, showing good overall balance. She has a lovely head and expression. Good length of neck flowing into a firm well held topline, good depth to the brisket and filled in in front. Holding a firm topline. Just needing to come together a little more on the move, but showed lovely drive

Junior(5,2)

1. Miss Rushforth - Charterwood Icon Of Campionfield

Most appealing Tri dog just shy of his first birthday. This boy has such a shapely silhouette on the stack, typical and houndy. Thought him just right for size and balance. Handsome head, with a slight dome to the backskull and a good length to the foreface, eye still to darken a fraction, with a keen but gentle expression. Good length of neck, chest is well let down, good round boned limbs onto tight feet. Holding his topline and tail carriage both stood and on the move. Flowing around the ring, with reach and drive - BOB & BP

2. Mrs Tofts - Jarrowley Pandora

12 month old Tri bitch, nicely balanced and in proportion. She has the most endearing head and expression, her nicely rounded ears framing her face. Neck is slightly arched and flowing into her topline, lovely forechest and good depth to the brisket. Today not as positive behind as winner, but driving around the ring

3. Mrs Ayres-Cousins - Eardley Ello Vera At Viracocha

Tri bitch and litter sister to 2nd in Junior, pleasing overall balance giving a shapely picture. Like her sister, she has a lovely head, and kind expression.

1. Mrs Tofts - Jarrowley Opal

Much to admire on this 2 year old Tan & White bitch. She is a sturdy bitch, with good bone and substance all through, whilst retaining her femininity. Most feminine of heads, showing good overall balance and with a dark eye. She is well developed through the body, with the brisket down to the elbow and lovely forechest, and ribs carried well back. Good strong hindquarters which she used to drive around the ring, being true in her action fore and aft. Today not as firm in her topline. Presented in muscular condition - RBOB

What a smart 10 month old dog, he has a real flow to his outline, and showing himself off like an old pro. Thought him to be just right for size and balance, he still has some developing to do, as you would expect, but it is all there. Masculine head, with a good width to the back skull, strength to the foreface, and lovely dark expressive round eyes. Clean neck of good length seamlessly flowing into a firm and well held topline, chest down to the elbow, and nicely sprung ribcage. Liked his well boned limbs and tight feet. Using his hammy quarters to drive around the ring. BP - Delighted to watch him go on to be awarded RBPIS

This pair of Basset Fauve De Bretagne provided the entertainment for the day, bless!
