YEARLING DOG (5, 1ab)

1st RAVENSETT JUST AN ILLUSION WITH ALOLFRANA

2ND Gourtorbe WANSLEYDALE BEEKEEPER AT REDHARA

This dog’s head and expression really was what I was looking for, beautifully shape to his head, and a fabulous expression from lovely dark eyes, strong neck, well placed shoulders and good length of upperarm, lovely boned legs, feet could be a little tighter, well ribbed dog, very good angulation behind, a little steep in croup, moved well.

3rd Stronach MARIGLEN ESCAPE TO VICTORY

GRADUATE DOG (2, 1ab)

1st MARIGLEN ESCAPE TO VICTORY

This young dog did nothing to help himself or his owner with his enthusiasm, however he is a really nice typy dog and at times you could see what he was like albeit briefly. I do wish his owner continues to train him and once he knows his job and puts some body on I am sure there is some fun to have with him.

POST GRADUATE DOG (2)

1ST Williamson HAWKLAWN SULTAN OF SWING

I have judged this dog before as a young dog and I still very much like his type and movement, he has a pleasing head and a lovely expression from dark eyes, good length of neck , well boned legs, good topline, he was unsettled due to a previous incident and the handler needs to keep working with him and to relax as being tense and expecting trouble is making the dog look for issues.

2nd Snook MOORBROOK MOGUL OF MARCH

Another typy dog of quality with a well shaped head and dark expressive eyes, good length of neck, medium boned legs and feet, very good angulation behind, just a little steeper in croup than the winner, not the movement of the winner.

MINOR PUPPY BITCH (3)

What a lovely class of three very pretty puppies

1ST Watkin’s ALBADORA TOTALLY YOURS FOR VALSETT

What a beautiful puppy, very pretty headed and lovely expression presenting a lovely outline on the stack and on the move, sturdy boned legs and good feet, well placed shoulders and a good length of upperarm, well ribbed body and strong loins, well angulated behind with good width of second thigh, moved well – BPIS and I wish her owner the very best with her

2nd Forrest ELVISTAR FALLING IN LOVE

Another very pretty puppy, super head shaped and expression from dark eyes, lovely boned limbs and good feet, good length of neck leading into well placed shoulders and a good length of upperarm, found her a little longer bodied than the winner, very good hindquarters, moved ok but with time she will settle more on the move to her advantage

3rd Colton ROWANMYLE BOX OF DELIGHTS FOR ENNYDLOC

PUPPY BITCH (1)

1st Linskey LATJEATA PAVANE

Quite immature still, lovely expression from dark eyes, decent length of neck, medium boned legs, lovely topline, moved OK

JUNIOR BITCH (3, 1ab)

These two young girls were of differing types but both very pretty and I’m sure have a bright future ahead of them.

1st Danks-Kemish & Littlechild RAVENSETT ALLEGRA WITH ALOLFRANA

Litter sister to my Junior Dog winner and she has such a pretty head and lovely expression, lengthy neck, clean shoulders and decent length of upperarm, lovely boned legs and good feet, good length of ribs just need to develop more as she gets older, a little longer in loin than I would prefer, well angulated behind, moved well – Delighted to award her Reserve Best Bitch

2nd Welburn OSHOWA JUST A DREAM

I really liked this bitch and as the cliché goes it was unfortunate that she came up against the winner, pretty headed bitch with a lovely expression from dark eyes, a little more pronounced occiput than the winner, good length of neck, clean shoulders, well boned limbs, sometimes she stands casually in front so watch that, great body shape, very good angulation behind, moved very well – another one to watch in the future.

YEARLING BITCH (2, 1ab)

1ST RAVENSETT ALLEGRA WITH ALOLFRANA

POST GRADUATE BITCH (5, 1ab)

Such a pretty bitch who ticked all the boxes for me. Shapely head with a lovely expression from the darkest of eyes, lovely length of neck leading into clean well placed shoulders and a good length of upperarm, the best of legs and feet, well sprung ribs reaching far back and strong loins, very good topline, croup and tail set giving the most ideal of outlines, so sound on the move with drive and good length of stride – delighted to award her Best Bitch and BIS

2nd Reid HUNTERBLUE MYSTIQUE AT DIERSETT

Another pretty bitch, a bit stronger in head than the winner but it was still a lovely balanced shape and such a kind expression from dark eyes, good length of neck and clean well placed shoulders, lovely boned legs, shapely body, very good hindquarters moved well

LIMIT BITCH (4, 2ab)

1st Dykes CALEYDENE CONNEXTION

Compact bitch, somewhat finer in head structure than the 2nd, very pretty expression, good length of neck, well placed shoulders, lovely boned legs and feet, well ribbed body, very good angulation behind, a little rounded in croup, moved well

2ND Seaman MARIGLEN INDIGO

I did prefer this bitch but she wasn’t playing today and was constantly leaning back which spoilt her outline, very pretty headed and expression, decent boned legs and good feet, well sprung ribs, very good angulation behind including good width of second thigh, moved soundly

OPEN BITCH (3)

1st Dykes SH CH WANSLEYDALE BEDAZZLED AAT CALEYDENE
