1. Sanders Parker’s Heart & Soul Jp Northern Dancer at Classicus (imp). Lovely balanced head, masculine but not overdone, level head planes,slight stop, excellent dark oval eye, ears are set well, he has a clean elegant neck to him, lovely straight forelegs with good feet, still needs to drop into his chest, ribs of good length moderate rear angulation with low set hocks, on the move a little bit untidy in front and needs to drop in his rear in profile but he is is good condition and will improve with time.

1. Ince’s Artilily Wilde. Black and tan dog, nicely headed dog, correct eye, equal head proportions, I liked his balanced proportions and general outline, straight forelegs and moderate front assembly, a little up on pastern, depth of chest was good with nice underline, nicely angled rear with good angulation but not too much, on the go round holds his shape with a light easy elegant style, nice type.

2. Martin’s Savuka Shaquille for Stalwart. 18 month old dog, not totally settled, square body, a little straight in angles front and back, needs fraction more fill in front, flat skull, correct high set ears, dark eyes, could have a little more strength of foreface, well muscled rear, a little rounded in top-line on the move, partly due to not being totally settled, again should improve with time.
