1ST 3916 - Chayo Instant Attraction (Mrs S Ellis-Payne). 

Aptly named 6month baby whose looks immediately caught the eye, so nicely presented, standing 4 square on well boned legs and lovely feet, super head with plenty of muzzle length and correct depth, good in bite and eye and small well set ears. Good neck to well set shoulders and most impressive at this age was his balance and proportion. He moved cleanly away and held that important balance in profile. So much to like, so much promise. BPD, BPIB

2ND 3911 - Iceclimb Evolution (Miss A L Darlow) 6 month on his first outing and he coped well, plenty of size and again lots to like, good bite, clear in eye, ears small just a fraction wide in set, nicely angled front, not quite the bone of 1, well bodied for age, moved away cleanly and had a good balance in profile,

1ST 3912 - Iceclimb Supra (Miss A L Darlow). In 6 months this youngster has done a lot of growing¸ strong in head for age, with good length to clean muzzle, correct in bite, good shape to eye and correct in stop, ear set just a tad low, plenty of neck, set well on shoulders, leg length good and enough bone for his frame, at the moment his topline is a little out as he is a tad bum high, time and growth should balance this, he was clean enough going but struggled for balance in profile, pacing when setting off, but did show some correct footfall when in correct trot.

1ST 3907 - Icycool Xavier to Orsamals (Mrs N A Brouard). At just 12 months this young dog was very nicely developed. Such an endearing expression, lovely muzzle, clean and straight to good stop and plenty of top skull, bite correct, well-shaped eye and correct size and set to ears, strong in neck, to well angled front, he is well bodied, plenty of ribbing and nice and strong over loin, all supported with straight forelegs of good bone, held a good topline as stifle of good angle. Impressed even more on the move, clean going and almost floated over the ground with an easy stride. Carried that through to the challenge to take the RCC.

1ST 3926 - Kaskae Show Me The Monet avec Keighanya ShCEx (Mrs V L & Mr N A Partridge-Bebb) 2-year-old who is very well put together, has lots of good breed type, lovely head, in correct proportion to his size, correct in eye and stop and very well-set ears, good front, nice bone and feet, pasterns could be a fraction straighter. Well bodied and loved his topline and correct tail set. On the move, he started very wide but did pull in to show some nice balanced movement. 

Open Dog Entries: 4 Absentees: 1

1ST 3917 - Ch Chayo One in A Billion (Mrs S Ellis-Payne). 2-year-old who already has developed into a cracking example. Good size and in super proportion, loved his head and expression, clean and correct in bite, eye with good ear set, muzzle straight with correct depth, framed with well pigmented lips, good in stop and plenty of top skull. Strong arched neck to a well angled front, plenty of bone on straight forelegs and excellent feet, good ribbing and depth to body, topline was spot on, straight with the correct angle over strong loin, strong in thigh and well angled through stifle with well let down hocks. Excelled on the move, clean away and showed plenty of reach and drive in profile. Well deserved CC and BOB and then topped it off with Working Group 1. 

2ND 3920 - Icycool Hudson Bay (ai) (Mr B & Mrs S Innes) 5-year-old good sized male with plenty of substance. Well proportioned head, clean muzzle of good length, well pigmented lips and correct in bite and eye shape, lovely set to small ears, plenty of neck to well angled front, plenty of bone on forelegs but they could have been a tad longer to balance, well ribbed and held a correct topline, really strong over loin, stifle just a tad over angulated for me but he moved well, showing some nice drive.

1ST 3925 - Ch Chayo Causin Chaos (Mrs A Nevinson). Quality female of 7 years, good size and plenty of substance, lovely straight muzzle with depth, clear eyes and very good ear set, straight in forelegs that were well boned, lots of chest depth, held a lovely topline, just the correct amount of stifle and moved so cleanly with great balance. A close call in this class but she just did enough for me to take not only the class but BVIB.

2ND 3909 - Ch/Jsy Ch Sutarka Coco Chanel at Orsamals Pdh (Mrs N A Brouard) Another quality female who at 10 was still up for giving it her all, lovely expression, well pigmented with good shape to eyes and well set small ears, not quite the size of 1, but well proportioned throughout with plenty of bone and substance, really good in topline due to correct angles front and rear, moved cleanly away and again in profile with balance.

1ST 3906 - Iceclimb Astra Cherubini (Mrs A E Anderson) 6 month baby who needs a bit of time to grow into her shape, bite and eye correct and a strong enough top skull, ears a tad to the side, plenty of reach to neck, she has plenty of body, bone needs to catch up to match, little high over loin at the moment but she has good angles so this should settle with time, she was a little unsettled on the move but showed good footfall in profile.

1ST 3922 - Icycool's Athena (Mr B & Mrs S Innes) A young junior who had to work hard to take this class, pretty expression and correct in bite, eye and ear set, good length to muzzle, nice clean lines, enough length to foreleg, could of held them straighter, depth and width of chest good for her size and had a cracking topline with a correct tilt, lovely angle of stifle and correct in hock, all combined to ensure she moved beautifully all round, which just tipped the scales in this class.

2ND 3931 - Snowshoes Time for Jenga (Mrs J E & Miss J Smith) Such a pretty 17m old, lovely expression, super eye and ear set, maybe could take a fraction more muzzle depth, lovely arch to neck, maybe a tad more lay of shoulder, held a great topline with good tail set, angle of stifle good with nicely let down hocks with correct bend, lovely neat feet, not as clean as 1 going but covered ground well in profile.

1ST 3915 - Chayo Aurelia (Mrs S Ellis-Payne), 18month who impressed with her proportions, plenty of substance for her age, correct in head type, clear eye, nice pigment on lips, plenty of top skull and good ear set, nice and straight in foreleg, feet could be neater, plenty of bone for her substance and spot on for weight, topline correct and well angled rear construction allowed her to power around the ring and she looked like she could go all day. 

2ND 3910 - Rumba Vasilyev Ostrov for Cupun (Imp Ukr) JW (Miss R J Brown) Very pretty female, nice long muzzle and proportionate in topskull, correct in bite, eye and ear set and plenty of neck, well angled front and back, nice depth of chest, good straight forelegs supported on good feet, body had the appearance of being sightly long, tail set good, although her angle of stifle was good her straighter hocks pushed up her rear just a fraction, this didn’t impact her movement though as she was so clean away and showed a lovely balance and footfall in profile.

Open Bitch Entries: 7 Absentees: 2

1ST 3918 - Ch Chayo Vasilisa (Mrs S Ellis-Payne). Cracking class with all 5 present in contention. 8 year old who obviously didn’t realise she was now a veteran, she was spot on for size and proportion, lovely depth to muzzle, matched by strength on top skull, clear well shaped eyes and lovely ear set, plenty of strong arched neck, straight in forelegs that were well boned, supported by large well arched feet, good depth and width to chest, so well ribbed and held such a good topline, strong over loin and well angled in stifle with correct angle of hock, moved out clean and didn’t hold back in profile, showing nice drive. CC BOS.

So much to like about this 3 year old clean and correct in head with good eye and ear set, lots of top skull, super in neck and well boned forelegs set well under withers, good depth of chest, nicely ribbed and plenty of substance, held a great topline and nice and strong over loin, good angle to stifle and hocks well let down, another who moved cleanly out and was very well balanced in profile showing good drive.
