Puppy Dog (1)

1st: Wyeafon Red Illusion 

Very attractive red puppy, masculine and with very pleasing proportions. He has a typical head with equality long skull to muzzle, well set ears which could be smaller. Typical keen terrier expression. Long neck. Balanced angulation both ends. Good topline. Well set and caried tail. Coat under development, but with very good structure, including a pleasing topknot and ruff. Excellent temperament. He moved well when he put his mind to it from all angles, but could do with some more ring practice. CC and Best Puppy,

Limit Dog (1)

1st: Bareve Relight My Fire At Shadymoore 

Quite a smart dog black and tan. I would like him more masculine overall. Attractive head with keen expression. Quite good ears. Good rise of neck, a bit sharply set. Excellent topline and tail-set. I would prefer him a little longer in his body. Balanced angulation both ends. In a good coat with a pleasing topknot and very good body coat. He moved soundly from all angels. ResCC.

Junior Bitch (1,1)

Limit Bitch (1)

1st: Bareve Play With Fire

 A smart bitch, feminine and with a lovely temperament. She has a feminine head with just enough substance. Long neck, quite well set. Firm topline. Tail could be slightly higher set. And she could make more consistent use of her ears which could also be higher set. Balanced angulation. In a very good coat, including topknot. Moved well from all angles, but could make more consistent use of her tail as well, she looked her best in the challenge. ResCC.

Open Bitch (4)

1st: Lazy Lou Von Den Grauen Anfurten At Wyeafon 

A very smart black and tan bitch with a very attractive outline. She has a well balanced, strong, still feminine head with excellent expression, even if I would not want a larger eye. Truly big white teeth. She made good use of her ears. Lovely outline with a straight and firm topline, very well set tail. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. She moved very well indeed from the side and from behind, could improve coming towards me. Kept her smart outline on the move at all times. In a very good coat with a typical topknot and ruff. Her tan colour could be deeper. CC & BOB.

2nd: Wyeafon Illusion In Ember At Petitpa

Another bitch of pleasing proportions. She has a feminine head with dark eyes that could be slightly wider spaced. Quite good ears that she used actively. Moderate neck. Not quite the outline of the winner. She is well angulated in front and puts good weight over her front legs, but could do with more angulation behind and a higher tail-set. Very pleasing coat and excellent deep tan in her black and tan colouring.

3rd: Ch Bareve Fire Cracker
