Minor Puppy Dog (3,1)

1ST Calgacus Malcolm Mindlen

A very smart puppy indeed. He has come a very long way for his six months old. Very typical head, well proportioned. Good ears. Long neck, well set into a very good front. Firm topline. Well set tail. He has ample angulation behind. A very sound and smart mover, at all times retaining his attractive balance.

2ND Hoolmark Cheyanne

At nine months old, this dog looks younger than his age and the winner. He has a lovely head and expression. Not the front of the winner neither standing nor moving. Easily spannable. His tail is slightly low set. Moved OK from behind and form the side, needs to settle in front. 

Puppy Dog (1)

1ST Cassjoebar Rough Diamond

Overall a very attractive smart dog, if somewhat on the shorter side as for body length, but he has a lot of quality about him. Beautiful head and expression, very good ears. Excellent rise of neck. Moderately angulated in both ends with balance. Excellent topline with a slight rise over the loin. Well set tail. Spannable. He moved very well indeed from the side and from behind, still youthful in his front movement. Excellent coat. CC

Junior Dog (1)

1ST Ruffntuff Topgear Tommi

A masculine dog, not big, but masculine. Could do with some more leg under him. Pleasing head but no more stop is needed. Strong neck of moderate length. Firm topline. Good legs and feet. Very good coat quality. He moved well from the side, tending to side track coming and going. 

Limit Dog (4,1)

1ST Mindlen Kuba

A dog of very attractive type and quality. He has a very expressive head, but I would not want a longer muzzle than this. Pleasubg rise of neck. Moderate ly angulated in his front. Spannable. Firm topline, reasonably set tail. Moderately angulated behind. He moved well form the side and quite well also coming and going.

2ND Heythrop Tempura

A strong dog, definitely masculine. His head is quite a bit stronger than my ideal. Strong neck. Could be cleaner in his outline and is just marginally spannable. Prefer a higher set tail, but he carried it well. Strong body. Normal sound mover. 

3RD Foxfur Espionage for Rodzina JW 

Open Dog (5,1)

1ST Pacolito Veni Vedi Veci

A very comfortable winner of this very inconsistent class. This is a dog with very clean lines. Not big, but masculine. He has an attractive and typical head, well balanced and with excellent pigmentation and expression. Long and crested neck, well set into a well angulated front. Spannable. I would not mind slightly more legs under him, but it is OK. Excellent topline, well set and carried tail. Well angulated behind. The soundest, best and most collected mover in the class. ResCC.

2ND Heythrop Toptag 

A very elegant dog, rather square in his proportions and a bit fox terrier like in his overall appearance. I would like a more masculine head with a stronger muzzle. Attractive crested neck. Firm topline, well set tail. Moderate, balanced angulated both ends. Quite a smart mover.

Minor Puppy Bitch (2,2)

Puppy Bitch (2,1)

1ST Rodzina Remember Alice

A bitch with a very attractive outline. She is feminine, well balanced, typically longer than square. Attractive head with pleasing proportions, even if I would not want a longer muzzle than this. Excellent neck into shoulder. Moderate balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline, could do with some arch over the loin. Spannable. High set tail. Balanced angulation behind. In a good coat, well presented. She is a smart mover, well balanced from the side, pleasing coming and going. She beat the best male to go Best Puppy.

Junior Bitch (1,1)

Post Graduate Bitch (1)

1ST Scapegrace Ginny

A bitch on the lower ide of the size scale. She has quite a strong head for a bitch. Pleasing expression. Moderate neck. Her topline could firmer and her arch of loin is a bit more than I would prefer. Somewhat lowset tail. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Spannable. In a good coat. Moved reasonably well from all angles.  

Limit Bitch (2,2)

Open Bitch (9,2)

1ST Pacolito Notorious

 A top notch bitch. She is very well balanced, well up on legs without exaggeration and somewhat longer in body than high to create excellent body proportions and outline. Delightfully feminine head with a lovely expression. Superb ears. Long neck, crested and well set. Good front. Firm topline, well set tail. Moderately angulated behind. She moved with style and precision, at all times keeping her balance and excellent timing, very sound coming and going too. With something in hand, she won the CC & BOB.

2ND Draytogo Vienna

A bitch of similar type and quality and outline, if not to quite the same degree. She has a slightly stronger head, but it is well proportioned, and she is still very feminine. Another with a good front, but does not put as much weight over her front legs on the stack. Pleasing rise of neck. Good front fill. Firm topline. Well set tail. Well angulated behind. Another pleasing mover, if not as outstanding as the winner. Excellent temperament. ResCC.

Veteran (2)

1ST Ch Mindlen Moccasin

Standing, this is a cracking bitch, very typey, well balanced and close to my ideal. She has excellent body proportions and is spannable. Lovely head and expression. Excellent ears. Very good rise of neck. Firm topline with a typical slight arch over the loin. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. From her lovely standing picture, I had expected more from her on the move as she did not show much drive, but she kept her shape and proportions on the move. Excellent temperament. Best Veteran.

2ND Logierait Lisla

A nine year old smooth bitch, not as smart or as pleasing in the outline as the winner, but she used her legs better from the side. Feminine head, needs a stronger muzzle. Crested neck. Good front. Could be firmer in topline. Looked her best on the move as she strode out quite well.
