1st: 6459 CAPILLE, Mrs Rachel Lendever's Man Among Men – RCC. I was very taken with this dog. He has the required height to length ratio and is very well muscled all through.

He has excellent front angulation that places his legs well under his body, plenty of heart and lung room, level back with withers very slightly higher, a lovely flare over his hips and large well muscled thighs and good second thigh development. His head is simply divine. Presented with tight curls of woolly texture. He moves so very well showing a clean pair of heels as he goes away. In the challenge he had to give way to a dog at the top of his game but he will go far.

2nd: 6486 WOOD, Mrs Jan As Good As It Gets Wavelet With Sinduda. Nicely made dog who has the required body proportions and carries a coat of good texture and curl. Rounder in eye than preferred and doesn’t have the front movement of the winner. Nevertheless, showed a good side gait with excellent forward reach.

Class 2456 LD (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6470 HODGKINSONRUTHERFORD, Dr K & RUTHERFORD, Mr M Rainethyme Rerite The Rules For Chanderhill JW. Very striking in appearance, robustly built with a handsome head, big ribs, strong quarters, short hocks and a well textured coat. His footfall could have been more accurate on the out and back but his side gait is open and shows good reach and drive.

2nd: 6463 DONALDSON, Mrs F Prizelands In Our Dreams. I liked this boy but he was very much a fidget today and he could have moved better. Correctly shaped head, short strong neck, well ribbed back, great topline and carrying a good coat.

3rd: 6487 WOOD, Mrs Jan Chanderhill Eagle Eye Sinduda

Class 2457 OD (4 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 6478 TKACZYK, Mr Ashley & TKACZYK, Mr Jake Sh Ch Janamorio Northern Arlo – CC.

He is a superb example of the breed. Masculine and well muscled throughout without exaggeration, presenting a balanced, slightly rectangular outline. His handsome head is of correct proportions, skull flat with a moderate stop, and a strong, well-developed muzzle. His eyes are obliquely set, oval shaped, expressive and well apart. Ears are set just above eye level, triangular and lying close to the cheeks. His neck is short and strong, flowing cleanly into well-placed shoulders which are well laid with good length and return of upper arm, straight forelegs, adequate bone and firm pasterns. Body compact yet supple, with well-sprung ribs and a firm, level topline held both standing and on the move. Loin short, broad and muscular, leading into well-developed hindquarters with sufficient angulation to provide drive without exaggeration. Movement was a particular strength; free, balanced and purposeful, covering the ground with ease and showing both reach in front and strong drive behind. In short clip with curl and good texture to his coat. A quality exhibit who combined type, soundness and presentation to take Best of Breed.

2nd: 6462 DARWESH, Mrs Jo & DARWESH, Miss Eliza S Chanderhill Smart Edition For Elizad JW. Smart lad, well made on a smaller frame. Excellent forechest and well angulated both ends. Lovely head and expression. Has a very smooth and ground covering gait.

3rd: 6469 HODGKINSONRUTHERFORD, Dr K & RUTHERFORD, Mr M Zorrazo Cool As A Cucumber

Class 2458 VD (4 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 6453 ABRAHAMS, Ms Jennifer & ABRAHAMS, MR JAMES Adormidera Ziggy Star Dust VW. Presents a good outline with a level back that is slightly higher at the withers. Handsome head, oval eye with soft expression, strong neck, good forehand. Moved well. Best Veteran in Breed.

2nd: 6464 DONALDSON, Mrs F Zorrazo Alter Bridge At Prizelands (imp Hrv). He is a lovely size and shape with a masculine head, dark eyes and well set ears. Carries himself well on the move. Winner just had the edge in coat texture.

Class 2459 SBB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

Class 2460 MPB (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6460 CAPILLE, Mrs Rachel Lendever's Time To Shine – CC.

Oh my word! Never ever have I given top awards to a puppy, let alone a minor one, but this one totally stole my heart. She is so very, very pretty with the most appealing expression and a joyful attitude. Feminine without losing substance, she has a balanced outline with the slightly off-square proportions typical of the breed. Her head has parallel lines and a muzzle that is slightly shorter than her skull, a slight stop, flat skull and oval eyes set obliquely. Her neck is short and strong and flows into well laid shoulders. Super front angulation, depth of chest, well sprung ribs and excellent quarters. Coat is in its natural puppy stage, showing the beginnings of correct curl and texture, with promise of forming the characteristic cords as she matures. This really was her time to shine and I have no doubt that she will continue to do so for a long time. CC, BPIB, Puppy Group 1 and Reserve Best Puppy in Show.

2nd: 6476 PAGE, Miss Rachel & ROBINSON, Mr Simon Deltoroesta Lady Of The Lake. She is a really lovely puppy and at six months is bang on for type and development. Presents a super shape and moves with style and attitude.

Class 2463 PGB (3 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 6455 ABRAHAMS, Ms Jennifer & ABRAHAMS, MR JAMES Fivenineplus Azahara By Adormidera. Well proportioned and has a very appealing expression. Super forechest, well laid shoulders, good length and return of upper arm, well off for bone. She has such a fabulous disposition and showed herself off well on the move.

2nd: 6461 CLOUGH, Mrs Roseleen Anne Perrorizado Isla Zuaza. Repeat.

Class 2464 LB (4 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 6465 DONALDSON, Mrs F Prizelands Frosted Fancy. She won this class on her super coat texture, which was one of the best on the day, and her precise footfall. Her head is so very pretty and wonderfully proportioned. On the stack she tends to slope a bit in topline but carries a good outline on the move. Uses her wide thighs and short hocks to drive round the ring. I loved her for size.

2nd: 6454 ABRAHAMS, Ms Jennifer & ABRAHAMS, MR JAMES Cravessa's Right On The Dot By Adormidera. Has a great forehand with plenty of dog in front, doesn’t have the spring of rib of the winner. Good finish to croup and tail set on well. Moved well.

3rd: 6483 TREBERT, Miss J Lunares De Los Llanos Del Valle Del Fielamigo (gkc

1st: 6481 THOMPSON, Mrs Kirstie Sh Ch Cooishka Girl From Mars JW. – RCC. A quality bitch in full coat of excellent woolly texture and long cords. She presents an impressive outline on the stack and holds her shape on the move. Feminine head of good proportions, kind expression, short neck, good lay of shoulder and return of upper arm. Big ribs carried well back and wide well muscled quarters. Very striking on the move with her brisk and athletic gait. RCC.

2nd: 6474 HODGKINSONRUTHERFORD, Dr K & RUTHERFORD, Mr M Sh Ch Doji Smogetsu Twinkle You Tinkerbell At Chanderhill (Imp Fin). Balanced and feminine head, short neck, well laid shoulders, good ribbing and well developed quarters. Not as accurate in hind movement as the winner.
