Firstly, thank you to the committee for the kind invitation to spend some time with such a beautiful breed, and a big thank you to the exhibitors for their excellent sportsmanship and support, I had a lovely day, and the gift went down very well! Thanks folks.

SPECIAL AWARD JUNIOR DOG/BITCH

1. Lacsar It Takes Two (ikc). Stylish bitch. Good for basic proportion and mature for her age. Lovely quality bone, strong in pastern and neat feet. Her head is feminine with good muzzle and skull balance, and her expression is good. Ears are well set and carried correctly. Her neck is of adequate for length and is strongly muscled. Correct in wither and her topline is strong. Her rear is very well muscled, she is moderate in angle and she moves energetically. Tidy example with excellent temperament.

2. Vormund Crown Royal. Another youngster with a lot of promise. Good for size and soundly made all through. Very pretty in head and has lovely expression. Eye correct for size shape and placement. Bite and dentition is spot on and her wedge like head has strength without coarseness. She is correct in body length being slightly longer than square and she is well boned. Pushed winner hard, just not as accurate today out and back.

3. Vormund Something Else at Teigan

SPECIAL AWARD LIMIT DOG/BITCH

1. Vormund Power of Ten. Super quality example with type and style. Very well grown. Lovely balance to him static and he was just as nice in action. Excellent for leg length and his body is correct for depth. Withers are high and his level topline is firm and he held his shape at all times. Excellent quality bone with smashing feet and pasterns. His head is masculine with ideal balance of muzzle to skull. Bite and dentition good. Pigmentation is very good and his earset is spot on with that lovely slight incline forward. His eyes are dark and obliquely set, if I was being picky I’d Ike then slightly smaller, but his expression does not suffer. Neck is strongly muscled with a beautiful arch, and the transition from neck to withers is clean. He moved like a dream in all directions., holding his shape so well. His black and tan coat was in great nick and was of correct texture. Super engaging temperament, he is a willing showman with presence.

2. Vormund Heavy Is The Crown. Another strongly made dog and many of the same remarks apply. Red coat of lovely colour that is of correct texture. He is strongly made all through with really nice quality bone. His body proportion is good and his head is typical all through. Thought him a tidy prospect but he couldn’t match the gait of the class winner on the day.

3. Vormund Can’t Wait to be King Ckaran

SPECIAL AWARD OPEN DOG/BITCH

1. Bearpark Candy. Super little red bitch of considerable type and quality. Beautifully oriental in head with excellent expression. Ideal neck length, slightly arched and nicely muscled. Withers ideally placed. Front assembly very strongly made and her bone and substance is commensurate with her size. Excellent in pastern and foot, and her footfall is great. Very good for body length and her rear matches her front. High set tail and she is pretty much all of a piece with loads to like. As with all exhibits today she is was in excellent condition and had typical temperament. Liked her.

2. Tapena No Ryuu Tomodachi at Trixwood SHcex. Another nice bitch with lots to like. Consumate showgirl presented in fab nick. Of a larger size than class winner, and she is well balanced all through. Lovely quality bone and substance and her head is feminine with good expression. Lovely in ear and her muzzle is correct for length. Body is strongly made, topline is level and strong and her rear facilitates clean movement. Liked her, just preferred the head type of the class winner.
