Hungarian Vizsla
Puppy 2,0
1 st 26 – Ward, Harrison & Harrison’s Glenbrows Blush at Tantaraviz
Bitch.7mths. The most together of the two puppies at the moment. Feminine head &
expression. Sufficient in front and good feet. Nice croup, muscle developing nicely. Typical
puppy action out and back but lovely in profile. BPIB
2 nd 21 – Lodge’s Ponsonby Freewheelin
Dog. 8mths. Holding himself up on the stand but relaxed when moving. Lovely disposition.
Masculine head. At that rangy stage at the moment, but lovely croup. Puppy action out and
back but nice in profile when he settled. Hopefully will develop on nicely.
Yearling 4,1
1 st 24- Newton’s Nevedith Thunder Bolt
Dog. 16mths. Balanced and in proportion, and shown in okay muscled condition. Decent
bone, nice feet, lovely in profile. Nice head and eye. Nice young male. RBOB
2 nd 20 – Hardy & Phillips’ Nevedith Golden Reign at Szelfuto
Bitch. 17mths. Just standing over a touch too much ground for me at the moment. Feminine
head and expression. Lovely, correct head. Adequate croup with nice angulation, with good
length of neck.
3 rd 28 - Woodcock’s Glengamna Malbec
Dog. 16mths. Aware of his surroundings, masculine head. Shown in excellent well-muscled
condition. Good feet. Will be interested to see him in less noisy surroundings.
Post Graduate 4,2
1 st 28 – Woodcock’s Glengamna Malbec
Dog. 16mths. Repeat. More settled in this class. Was delighted to find out later that he
gained his final point for his JW today.
2 nd 25 – Spavins & Senior’s Wallaroo Zendaya
Bitch. 3yrs. Would prefer fitter feet, not the muscle and condition of 1, but adequate croup
and overall balance. Nice on the out and back, but just not as fluid in profile.
Open 2,0
1 st 17 – Bradley’s ShCH Highforce All Or Nothing JW ShCEx OSW
Dog. Well-muscled at 4yrs old. Nice dark eye. Shoulder angles are good, nicely balanced,
good front and chest. Nice tight feet. Easy gait in profile. BOB
2 nd 16 – Bradley’s Ambravittoriya Art of Love for Marghele (IMP RUS) JW
Bitch. 4yrs. Beautiful nobility in head. Not quite the angulation and shoulders of 1. Croup is
good. Moved okay.
Dalmatian

1 st 735 – Clement’s A Spottifield Young Forseti forPerdita’s (IMP BEL) NAF TAS
Dog. 6mths. Exuberant male. Liver & White. Good bone, good substance. Okay for croup.

All youngsters in this class were a little all over the place, but hopefully time will settle them.
1 st – 747 – Page’s Winflash Tom Ford
Dog. 15mths. Good bone. Nice reach of neck. Nice bend of stifle, good feet. Well-muscled

expression. Sufficient croup. Shown in good condition. RBOB
2 nd 744 – Kembrey’s Dalmark Bananarama
Bitch. 4yrs. Another understated 4yr old, but again was fluid in profile, compared to the
class, and had some forechest.

Open 6,2
1 st 750 - Sampson’s Dalstorm Just Waltzing JW

good overall balance. Lovely profile movement.
3 rd 740 – England’s Dalens Queen of the Seas at Silverspot ShCEx
French Bulldog
Puppy 3,1
1 st 762 – Timms Olijah Dare to Dream
Dog. 11mths. Solid and immaculately present. Lovely head with sufficient muzzle and good
nares. Correct ears and nice tight eyes which are lovely and dark. Good bone and feet.
Probably one of the nicest Frenchie I’ve seen in a long time. Slightly different head in type to
his litter brother, but his construction is still first class. Still a touch immature in movement but
has bags of promise. RBOB
2 nd 758 – Kay’s Aldhammill’s Jo Jo
Bitch. 8mths. Balanced and in proportion. Would prefer tighter feet. Cobby. Easy mover in
profile. Enquiring, expressive head with good underjaw.
Post Graduate 4,3
1 st 764 – Turner’s Boule and One A Kaiser Chief at Vulabops
Dog. 2 ½yrs. Nice overall balance. Clearly not with his usual handler and he didn’t seem to
be ‘feeling it’ today. Cobby male with good ears and sufficient underjaw. Lack of enthusiasm
on the move but showed glimpses of correct movement when he finally got it together.
Open 3,1
1 st 763 – Timms’ Olijah Going In Deep
Dog. 11mths. Black. Very easy on the eye. Lovely ears. Super, open nares. Flowing outline.
Good bone and feet. Balanced throughout. He was muscled, moved with purpose, in fact
went like a dream. Was a very close call between him and litter brother. BPIB & BOB
2 nd 759 – Kay’s Bestfrenchie Becky
Bitch 2yrs. Balanced bitch. A bit too much detail in head for me. Would prefer tighter feet.
Too untidy going away but moved okay in profile.
Great Dane
Yearling 3,2
1 st 875 – Page’s Novavida Aesirs Conquest
Bitch. 16mths. Head and skull maturing but not quite there yet. Lovely balance and nobility.
Good bone and feet. Overall, nicely angulated, good neck. Easy profile gait. Okay out and
back. Would have benefitted from a bigger ring. RBOB
Post Graduate
1 st 876 – Page’s Novavida Shieldmaiden
Bitch. 16mths. Litter sister to Yearling. Good front, bone and feet. Better in stifle than her
sibling and a lot more confident. She is a little more together. Has a real air of ‘I’ve arrived’
about her. Lovely ring presence. Typical head carriage and neck. Has the better shoulders
of the two. BOB
Rottweiler
Puppy 2,1
1 st 887 – Moss’ Chantavory’s WonderBoy
Dog. 11mths. Masculine head and expression. Sufficient reach of neck. Good forechest.
Balanced angles and decent bone. Good croup, well-muscled, covered ground in profile.
BPIB
Post Graduate 1,0
1 st 889 – Taylor’s Wren Maeva V Zopian at Minaelea (IMP NLD)
Bitch. 21mth. Nice tight feet, good bone and balanced all through. Head needs to come on.
Lovely dark eye. Nice disposition. Would prefer a touch more shoulder angulation but
sufficient in rear angulation. Okay in profile movement, and out and back. Needs to slow
down a touch on the move, which doesn’t show how the typical movement should be, in my
opinion. BOB
Open 2,0
1 st 890 – Wilkinson’s Rottkinson Dark Knight
Dog. 23mths. Sufficient in croup. He wasn’t as relaxed as he could have been, and his
stacking doesn’t best show off his correct shoulders. Shown is excellent hard muscled
condition. Moved with excellent reach and drive. RBOB
2 nd 886 – Eyre & Moss’ Chantavory Je Vous Amie
Bitch. 2 ½yrs. Feminine head. Stands over too much ground. Would prefer tighter feet.
