2nd Weeks Eronel Coffee Bean, much heavier black boy with excellent temperament. Strong all through with great depth and good ribs. Strong head though his ears do need to settle.

MPD 1

1st Carvers Oldbashurst Time Will Tell, stood alone but deserved his place. 8 months black of excellent colour. Nicely put together being short coupled. I liked his head and ears which he used well. Strong sloping topline with bang on tailset although far too tight. Moved soundly coming and going.

OD 19(4)

1st Braithwaites Ch Wellingley Won for the Road, well I’m sure a round or two was ordered after winning this wonderful huge class with many good ones going unplaced. At only 22 months I’m sure there will be many more top awards to come. All male with head of good length, keen expression, excellent angles both fore and aft giving sound positive movement. Did everything that was asked of him, a worthy winner for the CC and BOB then topped with a wonderful Utility group win, very well done.

GCB 7(1)

1st Butlers Penbro Replica for Devorasjoy, feminine 18 months p/s with lovely length of head, ears well placed, well sprung ribs with width and depth of body. Strong in topline, would prefer a straighter tail which was rather low set.

1st Wallis Dando Guerra del Badulake with Wallensis, one of the few whites with good colour and pigmentation. Clean head with dark well placed eyes, sloping topline into good tailset.
