LANCASHIRE HEELERS

What a delightful breed! Thank you all for your entries, I had a lovely day.

VD (1) 1 Jones Ch Madincrowd Gabriel JW 10 yr d presented in superb condition, I would never have guessed his age if I had not asked! Masculine head with broad skull, strong tapered jaw, and dark almond eye, strong neck of moderate length, excellent ribcage and deep chest, strode out well. In the challenge for BV I felt the bitch had a slightly better topline on the move but it was a close decision.

JD (2) 1 Jones Mea Miracles Beorn Ragnar of Barleydust (Imp Fin) 15mth d with a handsome head, tapered muzzle and dark eye, he is well made in front with good forechest and standing on small neat feet, body is well ribbed but he is a little long in loin for perfect balance, however he holds a reasonable topline on the move, presented in muscled condition 2 Davies Aliceinwonderlanabsolem De L'etang De Pincemaille at Piparlo (Imp Fra) 11 mth dog with a pleasing head shape and alert but sweet expression coming form his lovely dark eyes, body is developing well and he slightly better proportioned than the winner and carrying a good sleek coat, but a little erratic in rear movement today. Such a shame he didn’t stay for the BP challenge which he probably would have won on the fact his coat conformed more to the standard.

PGD (2) 1 and RBD Bailey and Hancocks Parabar Pistachio liver/tan boy with a super, almost cheeky personality which really appealed to me, head is masculine with width to skull and tapering muzzle and using his ears enhanced his expression even more, he has a strong neck and a well ribbed body although tailset could be a little better, displayed good brisk movement with a happy disposition BP 2 Grant-Parkers Parabar Popgun's Podolki this young b/t is essentially a pleasing shape, head needs to develop but he has a lovely dark eye and when using his ears, adds to his expression, moderate neck with ample bone all through, needs to settle on the move and his coat was rather excessive and wavy according to what the standard calls for.

OD (1) 1 and BD Grant-Parkes Parabar Posy's Pawnee JW a sturdy and smart 2.5 yr b/t who is well proportioned all through, handsome head with width to skull head and keen expression, eyes. Well developed body with ribs extending well back, tidy elbows and a firm topline held on the move. Very sound with good tail carriage moving briskly and with accuracy.

VB (1) 1 and BVB, BVIB Jones Ch Madincrowd Mercy Chant 8.5 yrs old and showing like a youngster! On going over her, its not hard to understand why she is titled. She is sturdily built with ample bone and a correctly proportioned body and still in super condition and coat, on the move she is sound and brisk moving out with purpose holding her topline. A well deserved BV today.

JB (2) 1 Felsteads Oreiphos Ease My Heart at Foveaux this is a really smart b with a super feminine head and alert expression who was totally at one with her handler both stacked and on the move, she has a well proportioned muscular torso with ribs that extend well back, tail is set on correctly and carried well, she move out soundly and briskly but with attitude! Considered her for RBB but maturity won over today. Surely one to be titled in the near future. 2 Grant-Parkes Parabar Pelatory's Pichu slightly heavier in bone than the winner and for me not quite so feminine, good shoulders and rear angles and a great temperament. Not as accurate on the away as the winner today.

PGB (2) 1 Oreiphos Ease My Heart at Foveaux (As JB) 2 Bailey and Hancocks Selestar Lemon Drizzle presented in shiny coat and nice condition this girl didn’t really do herself any favours today on the stack as she looked a little hunched in topline, feminine head although slightly longer and finer in muzzle than the winner with dark almond eye, she has a strong front with well developed forechest and depth to chest, rather sluggish on the move today

OB (5,3) Three well made females here and all with plenty to like 1 and BB Jones Ch Barleydust Fancy Foxtrot I really liked the shape of this 2 year b/t girl, she has a most attractive headpiece with dark eye and a super keen expression, excellent neck to a firm topline over a well proportioned body with depth to chest and a good spring of rib, topline held firm and strong at all times, coat is well marked and on the move she is smart and sound going with total accuracy 2 and RBB Felsteads Ch Foveaux Queens Gambit JW a feminine headed girl with flat skull and dark almond eye giving a keen expression. Strong neck into well laid shoulders, correct height to length ratios with strong body and muscular hindquarters and presented in good coat and condition, she also holds a good shape on the move but wasn’t quite so accurate on the away as the winner today 3 Bellingers Foveaux Jean Genie at Heelstone JW
