1st Inchydoney Memories Une Virgin Mary Alec Stonelow, 2 yrs presented the best in balance and scope. I wouldn’t want any more of her. Head is correctly chiselled, flat skull and slight stop, eyes are oval but slightly lighter in colour. Long arched neck into oblique shoulder and decent return of upper-arm. Correct curve in topline, Balanced angles.Pasterns strong. Moves true and covers the ground in profile.
2nd Westview Puddles, 6 yrs who was in superb muscular order. I preferred the tea don this one, cleaner behind the skull than one but not quite the angles and body shape. Long arch neck. Correct topline with a slight arch on the loin. Moved true but not the reach of 1.

1st Creme Anglaise Entourage with Silkridge, no stranger to me having watched her through her puppy career. When I first seen her coming into the ring with her owner I thought I hope this is her. When i looked down the line for my first individual look i knew then! Smooth, clean and flowing in outline, she has a correctly arched neck into a hard topline with a gentle arch over the loin. Head is completely feminine with correct length and clean in back skull, dark eye with rose shaped ears. Correct bone with excellent tight feet. She is true coming and going with a graceful easy action in profile showing that desired daisy cuttings in front. Thank you for bringing her along today.

Creates a nice outline, Head is of correct length with a dark eye, moderate neck, reasonable shoulder into a firm level back. I would prefer more fill in croup.
