Lancaster & District Canine Society

AV Puppy Stakes

1 Baker’s Silverbriar Bryony. Skye Terrier. Such attitude and personality on this youngster with a ring presence to die for! Lovely feminine head with a soft, engaging expression, dark eye, and well-set ears she uses to advantage. Nice length of neck flowing into well-laid shoulders and a strong topline, which she holds on the move. Good body for her age with depth and substance without losing femininity. Coat of correct texture and coming along nicely. Moved with purpose and ease, showing lovely reach and drive.

2 How’s Sawbridge Cairdeas. NSDTR. Judged in the breed class.

AV Open Stakes

1 Isherwood’s Sh Ch Gunalt Schweppes at Caleydene JW. Weimaraner. Wow, what a stamp of a dog. Commands your attention as soon as he enters the ring. So masculine and strong throughout, no doubt could do a day’s work. Strong, nicely arched neck flowing into well-laid shoulders. Balanced fore and aft with good forechest and depth through the brisket. Well-sprung ribs, short, strong loin, and plenty of width through the thigh. Moved out with intent and drive, covering the ground with ease. A pleasure to get my hands on.

2 Nixon’s Afterglow Whirlwind. Whippet. Another one that stood out in this class and handled so well. Pleasing head with correct proportions, good length, and a bright, kind eye. Balanced and refined throughout, carrying an effortless elegance. Lovely deep chest with plenty of heart and lung room, a picture of graceful curves. Good oval feet. Moved with a long, easy stride and true movement.

AV Veteran Stakes

A truly lovely class of veterans. What a privilege to judge them.

1 Ir Sh Ch Calvdale I Say of Fallenleaf VW Shcex. ESS. A lovely bitch who presents a flowing, well-balanced outline. Feminine, well-defined head with a soft, intelligent expression. Moved with ease and fluidity, showing freedom and reach. Shown in beautiful condition and a testament to her owner. I just loved the way she carried herself with such ring presence, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. What a super dog.

2 Raczka’s Jamarqui Alchemy Argent Shcex. Borzoi. A quality Borzoi of true type and soundness, presenting much to admire. Moved with grace and style, creating a beautiful picture in motion. Shown in excellent coat and outstanding condition.
