Apologies for the lateness of this critique but my laptop decided it didn’t like its hard drive or memory card.

PGD

1. Ruciona Mor’du The Brave at Halloxwishes – 7yr old male who did really well for his young handler. Nice make, correct head shape, good outline, well ribbed, short loin, nicely muscled. Moved better on a loser lead. Well done to his handler.

Limit Dog

 1. Iveyjewel Put a Light On Me Jw – RCC. Very smart young male with classic outline. Head square, round dark eye, well set ears, neck of good length and nicely arched. Well ribbed, short loin. Straight front, tight feet, nicely angulated rear. Moved well never putting a foot out of place. Shown in super condition and am sure this dog will achieve high honours.

2. Ruciona Mor’du The Brave at Halloxwishes – see PGD.

Open Dog

1. CH Wildax Liverpool Lad at Boxbos – CC. I have judged this male before and given him the RCC. He justly deserved his elevation to the CC today. Cracking male, well balanced and clean outline and put down in superb condition. Lovely head and expression, dark eyes, well set ears of correct size and texture. Good front and rear angulations, tight feet, well off for bone. Showed himself well and a pleasure to award him the CC and BOB.

2. CH Chelmbull Return Of The Mac at Nerros – Another nice male and worthy champion. Nice make and shape with well sprung ribs, short loin, nicely boned and stood on tight feet. Nicely balanced. Didn’t move as well as 1 today.

3. Ir CH Int CH Lisvarna Bossy Boots

4. CH Kiarzo Side by Side Jw

P.B

1. Wildax Liver Bird – Lovely youngster. Classic clean Boston head, dark expressive eyes, well set ears. Neck of good length and nicely arched. Level topline, well ribbed. Straight front, tight feet and nicely angulated rear. Moved and handled well. Deserved her BPIB.

J.B.

1. Ivyjewel Cast A Spell – Catches your eye as soon as she enters the ring. Lovely smart, clean outline with correct head, dark eye, muzzle not too short. Very elegant looking girl, well ribbed, short loin, level topline. Good feet and bone. Moved with style never putting a foot wrong.

2. Marann’s Secret Moments for Nelinnie – Another nice female of a different style to 1. Good head, eye correctly shaped but would prefer slightly darker, but didn’t overly detract from overall expression. Nice straight front with moderately angulated rear. Moved well.

L.B

1. Wildax She’s a Showgirl – RCC. What an aptly named girl, as showgirl she is. She may have stood alone but more than deserved her place and RCC. Another from this kennel from the top drawer. Just loved her make and shape and she never put a foot wrong on the move. Presented in lovely condition and well handled.

O.B

Class of quality which was a pleasure to judge.

1. CH Antrix Sukey Tawdry – CC. I have seen this girl ringside many times but you really need to get your hands on her to appreciate her qualities. Super head and expression. Nice bone and feet, correctly angulated front and rear. Movement coming, going and in profile was on point. Pleasure to award her the CC.

2. Ch Wildax Shut That Door – Another worthy champion and nothing to dislike about her. Loved her head and expression, lovely clean, classic outline. Stood on good feet, correct angulation. Moved out well was unlucky to meet 1 today.

3. Ir CH Lisvarna Busy Lizzie

4. CH Aprika Fargo at Rudino Jw

5. CH Chelmbull Double Trouble
