Puppy2/2

1st MANNINGS MARCHURCH SOLTICE KISS Lovely yellow girl at 8 months really stood out. A feminine head with sweet expression complimented with good eye colour and shape. Good neck flowing to well-placed shoulders and a firm level topline. A superb front, strong boned legs under to tidy feet. Good spring of rib with no excess weight carried. Compact bitch and good turn of stifle hocks with plenty of toned muscle allowing her to be handled superbly to show drive and free movement. Best Puppy & later Puppy Group 3

2nd EDWARDS CENTENALEE LOLA AT BEARSTONE compact bitch at just 6 months. Fantastic coarse black coat eye colour not to dark allowing another with sweet expression. Strong neck level topline held on the move.

Junior 5/3

1st FLYENPYG EMILY GRUNT Super 1yr old black bitch. Great leg length on this fit looking girl. She stood four square effortlessly. Beautiful expression, calm feminine look. Strong neck to well placed shoulders, coat texture good. Level topline, great angulation front and rear with hocks well let down and moved freely around the ring with no fuss. RBOB

2nd FOSTER ROCHEVALE BEAL Yellow dog of 16 months. Another with great leg length allowing free movement, though handling could show more drive I feel. A masculine head without being too harsh, pigment ok, strong neck, level topline carried tail a bit high on move though tailset comes off true. Front assembly good slightly longer cast. Good texture to coat.

Post Graduate 5/3

1st GLAICESTER BORDACS BELLAMAR LOVE ME DO JW. A two year old black bitch of beautiful proportions. Compact, neat and tidy. In fantastic condition a kind expression again good neck flowing to well placed shoulders. Not overdone at all She had good turn of stifle and hocks down allowing great drive on the move. Coat condition good, correct texture and overall pleasing girl BOB

2nd as Junior

Limit 2/1

1st EDWARDS HOWCASTLE JOSEPHINE OF CHELMSCOTE Alone in class. This lively black bitch with a feminine head and correct eye colour to compliment sadly didn’t really settle. Texture of coat was good, slightly longer cast and carrying a little too much weight. Moved ok, croup rather low with tailset tidy feet and enough bone.

Open 2/1

1st EDWARDS CHELMSCOTE KEY COMPLONENT Alone in his class this darker yellow by oozed masculinity. Broad head wide nostrils with such a kindly expression. Strong neck leading to shoulders and a level topline. Short coupled and dripping in coat. He has plenty of bone feet not as tidy and compact as desired. Moved ok lacking drive however a very happy disposition and his strong otter tail did not stop wagging!
