Puppy (8,1)

1. Griffins Griffial Back to Black. This 10 month old young lady totally sold me with her gleaming black beautifully presented coat, I totally appreciate the hard work required to achieve this look. Well balanced compact exhibit throughout. Very pretty bitch, square muzzle with distinct stop, good proportions of skull, super dark eye of correct shape. Good length of lobular ears, set low on a level with her eyes, neatly caressing a strong moderate length of neck. Flowing into well laid back shoulders, Good width of chest, super front with nice tight elbows & deep chest, strong in loin, and good spring to ribs. Moving she displayed a super topline, showing great angulation fore and aft, demonstrating super reach & drive & good articulation. This sassy girl really captured my heart. I will watch her progress very closely. BP

2. Covingtons Delightful Hunter Legendary at Silverdust (IMP HUN). Blue boy, another very lovely puppy at just 11 months old. Lovely type, I liked him for size and balance. Attractive balanced head with a dark expressive eye, square finish to muzzle, moderate length of neck, well laid shoulders, short back, and good tail set. Moved with a very happy disposition with plenty of reach and drive.

Special Yearling (6,2)

1. Proudlers Kimapa Kwackers Kalon. I have to say judging this class was an absolute delight. I was completely taken by surprise by the reaction of both the winner & fellow exhibitors. This win was the final point needed for this young man’s Junior Warrant. My winner was in tears & her fellow exhibitors were so congratulatory, the sportsmanship was such a joy to see. A 17 month old liver roan who stood out in this class. He presents a nice outline with a strong level top line. Lovely masculine, balanced head, soft expression, intelligent eyes, & melting dark eye. Clean neck straight front, leading to good shoulders. Strong & compact body, well sprung ribs, short in loin. with good depth to brisket presenting a balanced outline. Good bend of stifle. Good rear angulation with short strong hocks. Very merry with an ever-wagging tail. No surprise that I was a fan of this boy. He was presented in well-muscled condition and looked an absolute picture as he drove around the ring. Delighted to award him BOB & his last JW point.
