Day 1

Good class full of quality!

1st Barnett, Carter, Ch Alamiks Perfect Illusion, Lhasa Apso. “No illusion here”. Attractive individual of good overall merit to find at this level. Feminine all through but retains substance. Correct in head which displays good balance with a dark expressive eye with correct pigment. Plenty in neck which flows into a well laid shoulder with good fill in forechest. She is well ribbed with a level topline which leads to a high set tail. She stands on correct bone with round cat like feet. On the move she displayed a free flowing stride in a true jaunty style. Presentation was one hundred percent.

2nd Duffield, Ch Hr Meiho Kensha Akioshire Go SW25,Jap Akita Inu. Yet another pleasing exhibit to go over for overall quality. Masculine in head with good width in skull and strength in foreface. Dark almond shaped eyes well set ears which he uses to good advantage at all times. Ribbing is extended well back to a firm loin with correct tuck up. He stands on quality bone with neat compact feet; he was presented in “A1” order and moved out well.

3rd De La Cour, Ch Santosha Dark Secret with Coursani, Shih Tzu. Pleasing to go over for overall breed type. Large head with good width in jaw with open nostrils. Strong deep body which is well ribbed. Topline is level which leads to a high set tail. He stands on the correct bone and feet. On the out and back he was positive whilst keeping an eye-catching silhouette on the go around. No disgrace here whilst completing a trio of quality Champions.

Another Good Class!

1st Bradley, Bradley, Sh Ch Stanegate Stage Debut, Irish Water Spaniel Pleasing to go over for overall good breed type. Correct proportions in head which is masculine with good strength in foreface. He has dark expressive eyes, good strength in neck with plenty in forechest. Ribbing is well sprung with a strong loin. He is well bent in his stifle which leads to short parallel hocks. He has quality in his bone with large compact feet all finished off with a dense coat of crispy curls. Moved out with accuracy on the out and back.

2nd Moss, Moss, Sh Ch Elgert Dancing Queen at Ewtor, Field Spaniel. Good to go over for overall breed type. Feminine in head, clear in eye which gives off a pleasing expression with well placed ears. She is reachy in neck which flows into a clean front assembly. Ribbing is extended well back to a firm loin whilst she stands on quality bone with compact neat feet. Between coats today but that does not detract from her sound movement on the out and back.

3rd James, Ch Saegerson The Edge JW, Min Pinscher. Whilst being small in stature to those in front he made his presence felt. His head displays correct proportions. Correct in eye and expression all topped off with mobile well placed ears. He is clean in neck with excellent ribbing. He was smart and active on the move and was presented in good order. Completing a trio of quality Champions.
