Class 2756 SBB (7 Entries) Abs: 1
A difficult class to sort made up of differing types, shapes and stages of maturity.
1st: 7547 SIECZKAREK, Mrs Kinga Just Because You Can Moto Pies. Red/tri still needing to mature fully at 16 months and in between coats at present but pleases for shape and general outline. Feminine, shapely head. Good eye shape. Medium neck. Could have a touch more angulation front and rear but her angles are balanced and consequently she moved smoothly and soundly keeping her topline firm. Attentive to handler and made a worthy class winner also Best Sp. Beg. In Breed.

Lovely head and outlook. Thick double coat, well-marked and good colours. A bit loose on the move at present but time is on her side and she promises to finish well.
3rd: 7522 HARRIS, Miss F & HARRIS, Mrs G Milwyr Jubilee Concert
Class 2757 MPB (7 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 7562 ZETTIN, Miss Francesca Meteora Of Moon And Stars. A really beautiful puppy that at just 6 months shows much promise at this stage in development. Red merle of pleasing colour and broken markings. Very together for her age. Excellent head shape. Keen eye. Medium neck. Super body and topline. Good angulation front and rear. Excellent mover, covering the ground easily with the correct stride. Gave a good account of herself and I predict a great future for her. Daughter of the Res CC winner today.
2nd: 7560 WRAY-RAMSDEN, Mrs S L Aussie Revolution Conquer With Grace Via Takhisis. Another that shows promise, equally composed and very pleasing in all aspects. Good head shape, feminine outlook with excellent eye and ears. Good body and in lovely coat. Moved well, just not as settled as 1st going away, that said, a lovely baby that will no doubt finish well.

1st: 7530 JARRAM, Miss Kaye V & JARRAM, Mrs Sharon & WHITTIN Angel Or Demon De L'aussie Happy Avec Kashaella. Immaculate black/tri. Very feminine in head, but nothing lacking in strength of skull and muzzle. Good neck and depth of chest for her age. Holds herself well, keeping a firm topline. Excellent bone and tight feet. Good angles. Just needs to come up on the leg a bit to completely balance her outline. Moved out very well and true in all directions.
2nd: 7544 SCRIMGEOUR, Miss Chloe Always On Point At Rezzini (imp Fra) Close-up her. Another black/tri that appeals for colour, markings and in excellent coat. Liked her proportions in head but a touch square body. Super neck. Moderate angulation front and rear. Well sprung ribs. Moved soundly enough, but not quite the depth of stride of 1st.

2nd: 7526 HODGES, Miss J Jopium Dark And Demure JW. Looking slightly immature compared to 1st but close-up for type, size, femininity and proportions.
