1st: Mr A & Mrs T Hawkins - SCHONHUND SHOW AT THE OSCARS
Loved this boys ring presence. He demands attention and enjoys his moment which I like to see with puppies. Up for size and all male. His expression was kind yet somewhat mischievous. Good ear set and length. Strong and well balanced all through for his age. When he settled on the move his movement was true and precise, and he carried his tail well. He was presented in fabulous condition, his coat had a desired metallic sheen. A happy boy. I wish him well for the future BPIB

1st: Miss L Brierley - TATZE LUNACY
My notes say she sparkles. Lots to like about this beautiful female. Pleasing head of good proportions. Neck is long, clean cut and muscular, flowing seamlessly into well-laid shoulders. Topline is level, with a slight slope from withers to croup, and her lion is firm and strong. She has a deep chest, reaching to the elbow, with good forechest and well-sprung ribs. On the move she excels - Effortless ground covering movement, moves at one with her handler
2nd: Mr G & Mrs M Davies-Brown - GUNALT POLISHED AT WYSTRY
Stood he presents a beautiful outline. Well balanced and strong all through. Front assembly is well angulated, with good bone and ample forechest. Front pasterns and feet could be a little neater. He is strong and well-angulated, with powerful second thighs and excellent muscle tone, giving him drive and propulsion on the move.

1st: Mr C & Mrs J West - SHCH GUNALT WAVELENGTH JW ShCEx OSW
This bitch immediately caught my eye for her elegance, balance, and unmistakable breed type, stamina and power. She stands with an aristocratic presence. Beautiful and feminine head of correct proportions. Front assembly is clean and straight, with good bone and tight feet. Her rear is strong and well-angulated, with powerful second thighs and excellent muscle tone. Good depth of chest and spring of ribs. On the move she carries her tail well and holds her strong top line. Faultless movement. I really liked her. A well deserved BOB
2nd: Miss L Brierley - TATZE SILVER SOLSTICE
9 years old and belies her age. Balanced head and kind expression. Good ear set and length. Well balanced and showed good substance all through. She excelled in forechest. She lost her sparkle on the move but she showed precise footfall and was true coming and going.

1st: Mrs S Booth & Mrs S Oddie - LUNDGARTH FLY THE FLAG
O/W M. 8 months old. What a pleasant boy to go over. He really looks like he enjoys showing and is at one with his handler. Dark kind eyes. Slight dish faced appearance. Slightly arched neck leading to moderate lay of shoulder. Good spring of rib and strong in loin. Ample fore chest and depth to brisket. He is mature for his age which is his advantage. Lots to like about him. Fore and aft his foot fall is precise and clean, and in side profile he really does show himself well when he gets into his stride - showing good reach and drive. Delighted to hear he gained his JW today - well done
2nd: Mrs J Radcliffe - SNIPERAY SECRET AFFAIR
B&w B. My notes say oh so pretty, and she really is beautiful with the kindest of eyes. I preferred the proportions of her head to the class winner. Stood she paints a beautiful picture of a series of graceful curves. Excellent rear angulation. Neat tight feet. She needs to body up and gain more substance, I’m sure this will come with maturity. She moved well in side profile and carried her tail well.

Good depth to brisket and strong in forechest. Excellent lay of shoulder and corresponding return of upper arm. On the move, she covers ground with ease showing excellent reach in front and powerful drive behind. She holds her shape well in profile, and carries her tail well

1st: Mrs J Byrne - ENRYB PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
A quality puppy dog who embodies the essence of the breed, he appears rugged and robust yet refined, capable and stylish. Overall, a confident and well-presented example of the breed who really made me take notice of his striking beauty. Moderately broad skull which was slightly rounded. His expression was kind and gentle, yet somewhat mischievous.
Forequarters are straight and muscular, with well-laid shoulders contributing to efficient front movement. Depth of chest is appropriate, and ribbing is well-sprung for his age. Hindquarters are strong and well-angulated, producing sound drive from behind. He demonstrated typical breed flowing and ground covering movement, and he was true coming to and going. A star of the future. A strong contender in the challenge. BPIB. I wish him lots of success in the future
Open 2/1ab
1st: J Elders - SHCH ENRYB SKYE BLUE
My star of the day. A beautiful female presented with excellent breed type and balance. Totally worthy of her title. Her outline was clean and athletic, showing the hallmark qualities for the breed. The head was noble and well-proportioned, with correct length of muzzle and pleasing expression. Kind, gentle eyes and correct facial furnishings
Her topline was firm both standing and on the move, with a strong neck flowing smoothly into well-laid shoulders. The chest was deep, with a good return of upper arm, allowing for efficient front extension. Rear quarters were powerful, with well-muscled thighs and correct angulation, contributing to balanced drive. Excellent coat texture.
Movement was sound and purposeful, covering the ground with ease and grace. Moved at one with her handler. Delighted to award her BOB. Fabulous to watch her win the Group and ultimately RBIS - well done
Two fabulous examples of the breed
