1ST 2600 - Stowledge Stephano (Mrs Dj & Mr Er Williams), Pleasing head showing the divergent planes, kindest of eyes. well balanced throughout making a square overall picture. Well-proportioned head with typical expression, good length of neck but needs to fill out in forechest which should come with maturity. However he already has excellent spring of rib and is short coupled with firm loin, excellent angulation front and back with a firm topline. Altogether very promising with movement that is sound and steady and a well textured coat.

 2ND 2590 - Affilato Luke The Nuke at Krismoor (Miss C J Littlemore), Handsome and upstanding, so well balanced in outline. Quality head showing the divergent planes and roof like skull. Appealing eye and expression, correct length of neck, firmly bodied and moderately angulated with good spring of rib. He is well coupled and moved steadily, covering ground with ease. When his coat develops he will trouble the best.

1ST 2571 - Affilato Jump The Gun (Ms J Clark) Everything is coming together nicely and his quality cannot be ignored. Good head proportions which will only improve as he matures. Muscular neck of good length. Well angulated shoulders. He has a good length of rib but needs to fill out to complete the picture. He moved freely, holding his top line well and carrying his tail correctly.

1ST 2579 - Ellisbell Piaggio (Mrs V A Glazik) Upstanding, full of personality and in hard condition with correct coat, he has a quality head with expressive eye, is strongly boned with moderate angles throughout and still holds a lovely topline. He moves freely and with ease, covering the ground well.

2ND 2576 - Stagerun Matteo (Mr I Collett). Balanced head with well-shaped eyes. Strong neck of good length, he is correct in front, has the typical top line and correct set on of tail. He has plenty of rear angulation; Very well presented coat. He moved well enough but not as freely as the winner.

1ST 2599 - Sh Ch Rubino Spinone del Mucrone with Riccini (Imp Ita) (Mrs S & Mr P & Mr C Whittingham & Wright & Bexon) . Beautifully headed boy with great proportions. A kind, intelligent eye and very typical expression. Excellent to go over as his basic conformation is first class with the correct length of neck flowing into well-laid shoulders, typical topline, well filled front, strong bone, great spring of rib, short coupled with optimum angles of front and rear, everything fitting and flowing. On the move he was light on his feet showing great reach and drive and when he posed he never stood wrong. Gave me the impression of a dog that could do a day’s work and yet is the consummate show dog. CC

  2ND 2572 - Sh Ch/nld Ch Affilato You Can Bank On It JW (Ms J & Mr L & Mrs C Clark & Sharp & Sharp) Nothing to dislike here! Balanced in head with excellent planes, soft, kind eyes. Mature in body with plenty of rear angulation, he looked so well standing and was presented to get the best out of him. Just preferred the more coordinated movement of the winner today.

3RD 2578 - Sh Ch Diggmere Tiger Swallowtail JW ShCEx OSW (Mrs S Duncan)

1ST 2585 - Sh Ch Bessalone Peaky Blinders (Mrs S & Ms I Knowles & Glen) Lovely in type and overall balance it is easy to see why he has been a big winner. Loved his head proportions, expressive eyes and big spongy nose. He has a muscular neck leading to well laid shoulders which enable his elbows to tuck nicely into her body. His ribs provide width and depth to his chest giving the desired heart room. He moved with precision, driving from behind. In great coat and body condition. RCC

2ND 2575 - Stagerun Kestrel (Mr I Collett), Finer throughout than 1st. He has good layback of shoulder and enough depth to his body. He was presented in good coat. A little spirited on the move but his footfall was good.

1ST 2566 - Ilsolo Sniffed It Once (Mrs K J & Mr G Bovio), . Lovely head type, showing the divergent planes and a melting expression. Feminine throughout but still had ample substance for her age. Well balanced in outline with enough neck, good angles front and back and she has a harsh textured coat. On the move she has a true, easy, and free gait. BP

 2ND 2581 - Affilato Game On (Mrs K A James) , Excellent breed type all through just not quite as compact as the winner. Pretty head showing the correct planes and a soft expression. Well put together, she is well boned and ribbed. On the move she is straight and true but does tend to drop her topline, this should change with maturity.

3RD 2597 - Riccini Carmen (Mrs S & Mr P Whittingham & Wright)

1ST 2574 - Lucoru Playing with Fire (Mrs L A Coldwell) . This girl took my eye as she walked into the ring, and although at 14 months she still has more to come she thrilled me from nose to tail. Whilst she was well schooled she still displayed character and that little bit of naughtiness that is so appealing. Feminine head full of expression and the best of divergent planes. Her conformation is first class, with ample bone, big rib and even at this young age has excellent muscle tone and a high-quality coat. Sound and steady on the move with so much style, she is an absolute star in the making. CC & BOB.

 2ND 2583 - Inostricani Mabel at Fossundale (Mrs A & Mr D Kay) A lovely type of Spinone who was good to go over. Feminine, well-shaped head with appealing eyes. Strong neck and nicely sloping shoulders. She is well ribbed and has correct rear angulation. Needs some schooling to get the best out of her on the move.

1ST 2577 - Diggmere Struffoli at Larhuly (Mrs S Duncan) So good to go over, honest and true to type. Lovely head with divergent planes and a kindly expression. Strong neck of good length flowing into well laid shoulders. Balanced in body showing good length of rib and depth. She has firm short couplings and strong quarters. Well bent stifles. In lovely coat and condition. Moved well fore and aft but excels in profile movement. RCC

2ND 2573 - Lucoru Perpetual Spring (Mrs L A Coldwell) She looked super when stacked showing both strength and style. Lovely head, super neck and shoulders. Well ribbed with firm short couplings. She has good rear angulation. Moved positively and freely.

1ST 2594 - Sh Ch Inostricani Sky’s The Limit at Milisimo (Mr M J Sandy) Absolutely lovely breed type all through, classically headed with sufficient length of neck, correct and firm back line, excellent bone, great spring of rib. I would like a little more height to balance the outline but the angulation is spot-on and this is reflected in her exceptional movement, but she is rather proud of her tail. In fabulous coat.

2ND 2565 - Sh Ch Princess Pea (Miss R Bovio) Lots to like about this lady as she is fit and well-muscled with a well-balanced head and kindly expression. Enough bone but not quite the spring of rib of 1. Well angulated rear, the coat texture is good and she moved freely with good footfall.

3RD 2586 - Quebaikei Accossato for Oaklaw (Mr P & Mrs E Lawton)

RES 2598 - Diggmere Cortona Sofia del Riccini (Mrs S & Mr P & Mr C Whittingham & Wright & Bexon)

1ST 2589 - Piccolonoce Vanilla Crunch (Mrs L A Lea) In super coat and full of breed type and quality. Balanced in outline, she is well constructed with well laid shoulders, deep ribs, good width to her body and good rear angulation. Steady and true on the move.

 2ND 2568 - Quebaikei Russian Blizzard (ai) (Mrs S Burrows) Super head with good reach of neck. She is still correct in top line and looking so well for her age. Getting a little untidy in movement but still showing reach and drive.
