1. Adkin/Pickering’s Bouvibear Rockefeller Gem. 11 months, masculine strong head, and alert expression, round eye of good colour, high set ears well placed, good lay back of shoulder, strong pasterns, good body proportions, well muscled in rear quarters, rear dew claws present, oval feet and good bone, moved out with a steady gait, lovely rough coat of good texture.

2. Roberts’ Bouvibear Emerald Banjo. Another of 11 months and litter brother to class winner, very anxious today and was difficult to fully assess but he had a masculine head and lovely expression with round eye, well laid shoulder with ideal body proportions, good tail set and carriage, moved ok when settled, just needs more confidence.

1. Fieldsend’s Starwell Here Comes Solo. Really liked this young male of just 12½ months, masculine head and expression with well set ears, strong muzzle and round expressive eyes, liked his balanced angulation and body proportions, level top-line with well set tail and carriage, he moved out with a free stride covering the ground well, rear dew claws present, would benefit from a little more body condition and muscle, BD & BOB.

1. Sherriff’s Bouvibear Catalina Emerald. 11 months, feminine head and expression, she was a little unsure and subsequently unsettled today, when she got into her stride she showed some sound profile movement, presented in a lovely rustic, rough coat but needs more confidence in the ring to improve her overall picture, BSpB.
