A super entry on paper for this show but sadly around 50% were absent on the day. That said I was pleased with the overall quality and my main winners so thank you all for your entry for this delightful and very endearing breed.

1 and BV Sampson and Sampsons PT Ch Lux Ch Bel Ch Morialta Ferreira 9 yr d presented in lovely condition. He has a well proportioned head and a super keen expression, he stands well in front on straight forelegs, slightly sloping pasterns and neat round feet, shoulders are muscular and well laid and he has a pleasing body shape with depth to chest and moderate spring of rib, moves easily and soundly around the ring. 2 COWEN, Mrs G M Belfus Cisco 10 yr dog who is also in great condition but just a little taller and squarer in body than the winner, head is well proportioned with large thin ears and tight lips. He has well placed shoulders and moderate hind angulation with a reasonable topline, moves soundly in profile but a little weak in the rear on the away.

MPD (2,1) 1 and BPD, RBD, BPIB CROCKFORD & CROCKFORD, Mrs Debby Belfalas Pyjamarama this is a super young dog, cocky and confident both stacked and on the move, I loved his head and the lively, almost cheeky expression coming from his well placed eyes, he stands true in front on strong pasterns with a correct length of body and moderate spring of rib, moderately angulated in the rear and moving out soundly and easily around the ring. A very promising young dog.

PGD (5,3) 1 PINDER’s Plushcourt Good Luck 3 yr rough coat who was very attentive to his handler, good lean head with well shaped expressive eye and well set triangular ears, he stands true in front with ample depth of chest and a firm topline to high set tail carried correctly on the move. More together on the move than the shapely dog in 2nd place CROCKFORD & CROCKFORD’s Befricas Kimchi At Belfalas ( Imp Nor ) a smooth coat who appealed greatly for his overall shape and proportions, I really liked his lean wedge head and well used ears and he stands true in front on straight forelegs and tight round feet, unfortunately he was rather unsettled on the move and quite uncoordinated behind. Such a shame as there is a lot to like about him.

Class 2256 LD (2 Entries) Abs: 1 1 and BD Kalispell's Fonzarelli Loggeta (Imp) Port a 18mth smooth coat who is a very sound and active mover, he is lovely head of good proportions with ample stop and tight fitting lips, neck is strong and moderate in length and leading to a good lay of shoulder, he has a muscular torso with a firm topline and neat underline and on the move he is so light on his feet carrying himself well and maintaining his shape.

VB (2,1) 1 SEGUI Stormwitch Heirs And Graces At Arranbourne 8 yr fawn/white with a feminine head with medium eye and well set ears, moderate length of neck into well placed shoulders, body is a little longer than ideal but with no compromise to topline which remained level both stacked and on the move where she moved soundly and easily around the ring.

MPB (2) 1 and BPB PINDER Stormwitch One For The Books this is a very attractive and shapely 7mth b who when settled made a lovely outline on the stack, she has a dark expressive eye and well set ears but is just slightly broader in backskull than ideal, firm level topline and moderately angulated in the rear, an excellent mover and so light on her feet 2 PEARSON & PEARSON Befricas Octavia (Imp Nor) slightly longer cast than the winner with a very pretty head and appealing expression, she stands fairly well in front on strong pasterns and neat round feet but needs to develop a little more in chest and rib and was unfortunately rather unsettled on the move today.

SAMPSON & SAMPSON, Mrs Anna Morialta Tavira 2 yr white/fawn wire coat with a very nice wedge head and well set ears carried correctly, well placed shoulders, a moderate spring of rib with ample depth of chest and presented in good harsh coat. She won the class on her excellent sound and easy movement .2 Cowans Plushcourt Cleopatra a very pretty girl, slightly shorter in body than the winner and a little lower on the leg, moderate in neck with well placed shoulders and a firm topline that rises slightly over the loin to a correctly set tail which was carried well on the move 3 CROCKFORD & CROCKFORD, Mrs Debby Belfalas Chance Meeting

LB (4,3) 1st: 4683 CROCKFORD & CROCKFORD, Mrs Debby Belfalas Ladytron 2 yr 9mth b who was presented in good harsh coat and overall condition, she has a proportionate wedge head with well placed eyes and tight fitting lips, moderate in neck to ample lay of shoulder with a good depth of chest and moderate spring of rib but for her age I would have liked to see a stronger topline. In profile she moves out soundly but tends to flick her feet out as she goes round

OB (5,3) 1 and BB BOB SAMPSON & SAMPSON, Mrs Anna Lux Ch PT Ch Morialta Sesmarias a most attractive and feminine white/fawn girl with a fine well proportioned head, dark eye and large mobile ears used well to enhance her expression, she stands true in front on small neat feet with a good depth of chest and firm topline to high set, correctly carried tail and is muscular in the rear with a moderate bend of stifle. Very light on her feet and displaying true easy movement all ways. 2 and RBB CROCKFORD & CROCKFORD, Mrs Debby Plushcourt Gloriana At Belfalas I liked this smooth coated girl a lot and she pushed hard for the class, pleasing head shape with large mobile ears and presenting a super balanced outline and well proportioned body, ample lay of shoulder and moderate hind angulation, sound an accurate all ways, I just preferred the body condition of the winner today
