I had a most enjoyable day judging dogs at the above show. Many thanks to my 2 stewards and to Anne for taking photos of my winners and also of course to Jenny for her official photographs. 

Thank you too to the Exhibitors for a super entry with some lovely typey pointers. My main area of concern was the number of wide fronts sometimes coupled with coarse shoulders, sometimes at odds with the stature of the dog. Conversely there were also a few that were very narrow in front. 

VETERAN DOG (4 )

1st Philo's Fydal Caprio at Salmonmist JW SHCM OSW ShCEx VW

Elegant orange and white in lovely condition with a beautiful head. Sloping shoulders, good depth of brisket with well sprung ribs carried well back to a short strong loin. Strong well muscled quarters and a neat tail. Stylish and true on the move. BVIS

2 Jamieson, Macara & Blackburn-Bennett’s Sh Ch Kanix Peri Peri with Glenfinnan

Well made orange of a slightly heavier mould. Lovely head. Reachy neck into sloping shoulders and a flowing outline with good depth through the brisket. Well angulated quarters. Moved freely with a good length of stride.

3rd Gordon's Hawkfield Audacity JW (ai)

Nice orange with the most beautiful head and expression. A wee bit longer cast but his brisket is well let down and he has a beautiful tail set. Well angulated quarters. Sound mover.

MINOR PUPPY DOG (5)

1 Oliver & Oliver's Wilchrimane Florin to Olivesong

Stylish orange with a lovely flowing outline. Slightly sloping pasterns. Clean neck into sloping shoulders. Lovely topline. Well turned stifles and a neat tail. Moved well with a decent stride.

2nd Siddle, Siddle, Bailey & & Bailey's Wilchrimane Tunaverse

Orange with a lovely head. Nice topline with a lovely tail set. Well turned stifles and neat feet. Preferred his balance of foreface to skull but was nothing like as collected on the move.

3rd Mason's Freebreeze Noel Coward

Less mature orange with a lovely head and expression. Has a nice topline and strong quarters. Not quite the forehand which gave him a shorter stride on the move but he went truly with no exaggeration.

PUPPY DOG (4 )

1" O'Neill's Chesterhope Agent Orange at Carmandine (Imp NZL)

Typey elegant orange with a lovely clean outline. Good head. Reachy neck flowing into sloping shoulders and a nice topline. Strong quarters with well-turned stifles and a neat tail. Is a bit of a handful on the move and his handler was having to restrain him rather and this gave the puppy bitch the edge in front movement. BPD

2nd Oliver, & Oliver’s Oliver Wilchrimane Florin to Olivesong

3rd Harrison's Millpoint Mr Loverman

Black and white with long sloping shoulders and a decent upper arm. Well boned with a good reach of neck. Well turned stifles. He is a wee bit tied at elbow and rather narrow in front but time is on his side.

JUNIOR DOG (7 , 1 Abs)

1st Martin & Martin's Sunhouse Quintessential

Have loved this beautiful blanket black since I first saw him. He has the most beautiful clean flowing lines and is beautifully balanced. Lovely head showing nice work with a kind expression and a dark eye. Beautiful forehand with long sloping clean shoulders with a good length of upper arm. Super topline and tail set. His well angulated quarters complement his forehand. He has a long forward reaching stride using his neat tail with a good clean fore action. He is very young and I had to think very hard but on the final go round his smooth easy stride won him the reserve CC. Time can only improve him.

2nd Siddle, Siddle & Mazzeo's Wilchrimane Cereal Killer

Neat black and white. Clean outline with well angulated shoulders and upper arm of equal length. Wee bit wide in front but has good reach of neck, a nice topline and neat feet. Well turned quarters. True mover but not quite the stride of one.

3rd Rayner, Spinks & Pringle's Collholme Mr Brown with Spinray

Liver and white who won his place on his movement going with a true footfall and a decent even stride. He has well angulated shoulders with a good length of upper arm and quarters to match. Just not the topline of above. 

YEARLING DOG (5 )

1st Stilgoe, Stilgoe & Fox's Teisgol Sweet William JW JCH

This beautiful typey young dog just screams balance at you. However he stands he is right and needs no pushing or pulling to get him into a shape. Every piece fits perfectly into the next piece with no exaggerations and he flows all through. Your eye is not drawn to any one part of him but to the whole picture. He has a good head with a beautiful expression, super topline and tail set and his tail is neat. His fore angulation is matched by his hind quarters which are strong. Right from the first time I saw him as a minor puppy he has had the most beautifully balanced unexaggerated movement. He goes smoothly with a good football. CC and BOS.

2nd Pearson's Ladyhawke Desert Orchid

Lemon with a lovely head and eye. Long sloping shoulders, sloping pasterns and neat feet. Good depth of brisket, well sprung ribs with good couplings and strong quarters. Not the refinement of one and was inclined to plait in front on the move.

3rd Rayner, Spinks & Pringle's Collholme Mr Brown with Spinray

MAIDEN DOG (5 )

1st Beston & Smith's Sonham Just Because (ai)

 Typey black with a clean outline. Good head. Nice reach of neck flowing into well angulated shoulders. Strong topline and a good bend of stifle. Needs time to mature on but was more collected than two on the move particularly when taken that bit faster.

2nd Dunn's Casdellda Deepest Blues

 Six months black. Beautiful clean forehand with long sloping shoulders and matching upper arm. Well ribbed back with a good topline and nice tail set. Hindquarters well angulated. All over the place on the move as you would expect but had a decent length of stride .

3rd Mason's Freebreeze Noel Coward

NOVICE DOG (5 1 Abs)

1st Meadowpoint Jack O'Lantern at Pointmoor

Long sloping shoulders and a decent length of upper arm. Deep through the brisket. Lovely topline and tail set. Strong quarters that match his forehand.

2nd Saunders & Newton's Corotine Velvet Tuxedo

Much younger black and white who was consequently less ready. He has a nice head and balanced moderate angulation fore and aft. Just falls away a bit over the croup but has a nice spring of rib and is well coupled. Moved on an even stride.

3rd Smith, Smith & Welch's Quinnery Middle Wallop

 Black and white of substance. Sloping shoulders. Short and strong through the loin with strength through the quarters and a good turn of stifle. Slopes away at the croup but very true on the move with a good foot fall.

1st Matthews' Sonham Just The Ticket (ai) JW

Well made liver who stood away here. Lovely head and expression. Beautiful front, well laid shoulders and a clean outline. Is deep through the brisket and well ribbed back with a good topline and tail set. When taken faster he went with a decent easy stride.

2nd Ram's Jilony Zeus TAF

Nicely balanced black and white. Good head. Could have a slightly longer upper arm but his shoulders are well angulated. Good depth of brisket and nice topline. Nice turn of stifle. A little unsure but his balance won him his place.

3rd Wilcox's Harvestslade Fire And Ice through Meryjen JW

Orange with a masculine head and a nice expression. Balanced moderate angulation fore and aft. Lovely depth of brisket with big ribs and good couplings. Neat tail. Heavier in the forehand but sound and true on the move.

POST GRADUATE DOG (5 )

2nd Bush & Bush's Piasharn Rocka Rolla

Another lovely mover particularly when taken that bit faster. He is free and easy and light on his feet with no wasted effort. Nice head and a clean outline. He has balanced moderate angles. Not quite the strength of 1 but he has a good topline and is short coupled.

3rd Bell's Brent Deville's Advocate at Owlspoint (ai)

Heavier made black and white with super depth through the brisket, big ribs and a strong loin. Balanced moderate angulation. He moves with an even low stride but could just do with a little more enthusiasm.

1st Marsh's Alozia Zealandia for Ratchda JW.  

Shortlisted for the ticket. 

Beautifully balanced liver and white with a lovely clean outline. He has a nice head and expression. Long sloping shoulders with a well angulated upper arm. His sweeping quarters are strong and match his forehand. He is nice on the move going with drive on a balanced stride of good length. Just needs a bit more time.

2nd Westaway & Eldridge's Bradgate Yours Truly TAF

 Another balanced liver and white who pushed one all the way. Nice head. Lengthy shoulders matched by his upper arm. Good depth of brisket, short coupled with strength through the loin. Neat feet and sloping pasterns. Beautiful mover going with a good football on an even stride and no wasted effort.

3rd Martin & Martin's Sunhouse I'll Be Black (ai)

Nice black and white who again pushed all the way. Lovely head, eye and expression. Sloping shoulders, lovely topline with a good tail set and nice depth of brisket. True on the move with a good footfall just not quite the drive.

LIMIT DOG (7, 1 Abs)

Won on his movement which was clean and balanced with no exaggeration and a smooth stride. He is nicely balanced with sloping shoulders and a strong topline. Balanced head. Lovely depth of brisket, strong well turned quarters with low hocks.

2nd Allen's Dondaig Wooden Heart

Black and white with a clean outline and a lovely head. Good reach of neck. Long sloping shoulders but a tad shorter in upper arm. Lovely topline and tail set and a good turn of stifle. On the move he was rather loose at the pastern but he had a good stride.

3rd Tibbs & Tibbs' Raigmore Keep The Faith 

Black and white with super depth of brisket. Well sprung ribs extending well back. Well angulated shoulders but a tad short in upper arm. Strong quarters. He was rather excitable in front on the move but better when taken faster and went well behind.

 Shortlisted for the ticket.

Typey black and white with a lovely clean outline. Lovely forehand with well angulated shoulders and a decent upper arm bringing his elbows under his body. Good fore chest and a gun barrel front.

2nd Feichtinger's Berseydale Poker Face

Elegant black and white with a clean flowing outline. Lovely head and good reach of neck. He has balanced moderate angles fore and aft but not quite the forehand of 1. Lovely topline. Moved easily and with style, just not quite as true in front as one.

SPECIAL BEGINNERS DOG (6, 2 Abs)

2nd Clinton's Sonham Just Over The Moon at Oramiss (ai) JW

Striking black and white with a nice head and a reachy neck. Good depth of brisket. Shoulders are long and sloping but his upper arm is a tad shorter. Sweeping quarters. Really needs to go faster on the move as he was not striding out and was loose in pastern.

3rd Allen & Bett's Hawkfield King's Ransom

Orange and white built on a lighter mould. Clean outline. Rather straight in upper arm but his shoulders are sloping. Good head. Reachy neck into a lovely topline with a super tail set. Well turned stifles. Sound mover.
