LEEDS 2026

The wind was strong today and did affect a lot of the dogs on the move with the ring tape blowing into the rings so I gave everyone second chances if they needed so their charges could settle. Some of the younger dogs were more put off but came good in the end.

Briard

All dogs present had correct double dew claws today. 

PD 1 Murray-Walker’s Gilcoru Syrah D'brie of Walkerbrae 8 month old promising black that just needs time to grow into himself. Good head to handle, defined in stop, dark eyes ears set on high and used when needed. Strong in jaw with full dentition. Fair length of neck easing cleanly into moderate forehand for angles and toning. Ample depth of chest and spring to ribbing.

JD 1 Parry’s Stormymoon Is Enough Exciting fawn just a year old and showing great promise for a good future if he carries on developing as he is today.

Scores well in head with dark pigment, high set ears he uses well when alerted, muscular neck of fair length into well angulated and toned forehand supported by strong bone and tight feet. Ample depth of chest and shape to ribbing, topline remains firm and level at all times, thanks in part to his toned quarters. Easy on the move. Shown in very good jacket and conditioning. 3 Biddlecombe’s Chavell European Secret VD 1 Parry’s Ch Stormymoon Untamed Irish 9 year old black that belies his age in all ways.

Good length of neck flowing into well laid back shoulders and straight front limbs. Ample ribbing for her age and size. Topline is a tad soft stacked up but levels and holds on the move where she is sound and efficient at all times. Well prepared jacket finishes the picture. One to watch as she matures. BPIB JB 1 Parry’s Stormymoon Limited Edition Litter sister to JD and very much the equivalent match for him pound for pound. Scores well in head, strong yet definitely feminine throughout. Mid brown eyes, high set mobile ears and full clean dentition. Forehand is well constructed and matched in her quarters allowing a free and efficient movement when she settled. Admittedly she was put off her stride a couple of times by the wind blowing the ring tape around but that did not distract from her performance today. Well prepared for the ring overall. See they are out of my BOB from Birmingham 2 years ago. Surely their titles cannot be far away judging by today’s showing. RBCC 

PGB 1 Kellett & Burrow’s Fostebrie Just Klassique of Kellbry Fawn rising 2 years old. Good head to go over, clean lines, dark eyes high set ears and strength in jaws with correct dentition. Long muscular neck into well angulated and muscled front assembly with good bone and feet. Well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing, topline firm and level at all times. Easy ground coverage on the move. Shown in full bloom. 2 Thomson & Foster’s Fostebrie Just Finesse Litter sister to winner and built on the same lines with very little between them except that she is a tad heavier in build and had her “naughty” head on today giving her handler a hard time but as before this was probably down to the wind on the ring tape. Another that is well presented for the ring. LB 1 Ryan’s Fostebrie Pure Binoche for Badgerhurst JW 2 ¼ year old fawn that pipped this class being the more fluent and controlled on the move. Good head shape and size, strong jaws, correct clean dentition and dark pigment all over. Long muscular neck into moderately angulated front assembly with good bone and feet.

Firm level topline at all times thanks in part to her overall body toning. Well prepared in jacket. OB 1 Bithell’s Ch Gilcoru No Rules D'brie at Bourntwyn Super 2 year old black that is so well constructed she had to move as cleanly and efficiently as she did today covering the ground with consummate ease expending no wasted energy at any time. Scores well in head being strong yet oh so feminine and proportionate. Appealing dark eyes, high set mobile ears and strength in jaws. Forehand is spot on for angulation and musculature which in turn is mirrored in her hindquarters giving her a balanced silhouette both static or in motion. Put down to the minute in clean, dry jacket to complete the very good picture. BCC & BOB 2 Ledsham’s Touslefell I Have A Dream Fawn rising 7 years old and slightly larger in framework than winner but equally as balanced and sound on the move. Clean head planes, mid eye shade, mobile high set ears and strong jaws with correct dentition. Ample spring of rib and depth to chest, firm level topline at all times. Well angulated fore and aft with strong bone and tight feet. Shown in full clean jacket. VB 1 Kellett & Burrow’s Ch Fostebrie Exotique Noir of Kellbry JW Sh.CM Now at 9 years old I have judged her before and she is still as sound and precise on the move as she was 2 years ago. Scores in head, strong yet feminine, dark eyes and well set ears. Well angulated fore and aft producing a well balanced framework under her full clean jacket. Deep in chest and sprung in rib. Topline remains firm at all times thanks to her body toning. Puts may a younger exhibit to shame on the move. 

Swedish Vallhund

PD 1 Drinkwater’s Artig Take A Chance On Me Very promising 9 month old that took everything in his stride once settled down. Head is developing well in proportion to his body. Correct wedged shape and noticeable stop. Dark oval eyes and mobile ears give a good expression. Muscular neck flowing into moderately angulated front assembly supported by strongly boned limbs and well knuckled feet. Well ribbed up, topline is a tad soft standing but levels on the move so purely age related. Shown in harsh, clean jacket. Has it all there to do well as he matures. BPIB PGD 1 Cameron & Woods Bowkol Kynligr Odyssee 19 month old strong all through from head to quarters. Clean headlines, dark oval eyes, strength in jaws and correct scissor bite. Muscular neck into moderate forehand with well boned limbs to support. Ample depth of chest and spring of rib, firm in topline thanks in part to his toned hindquarters.

Super head shape and proportions, dark oval eyes, ears well set and fully mobile, defined stop, strong powerful jaws with correct dentition. Forehand is well angulated and toned which in turn is mirrored in his hindquarters giving him a balanced outline and one of strength and endurance ready to do a good days work. On the move he is sound and efficient in his stride never once faltering and certainly belies his age. All this topped with the best of jackets. DCC & BVIB then pleased to watch him take a credible VG 4 later in the day when he was still on his toes. PB 1 Ring’s Danga's Tindra Gimlidotter at Forvana 8 months old. Head is proportionate to her body and coming on well at this stage. Dark oval eyes, perceptible stop and strong jaws with full clean dentition. Long neck into well built front that needs time to strengthen. Ample depth of chest and spring to ribbing. Hindquarters compliment her front allowing a steady movement once settled. Just time needed. More composed on the move than second place today. 2 Drinkwater’s Artig I Have A Dream in Galerita Another promising puppy Litter sister to BP with many of the same attributes regards head and body, sadly today she gave her handler a hard time and didn’t perform as she is built, maybe more affected by the wind than others, Given her build I feel sure this was an “off” day and like her kennel mate as she matures on and composes herself I’m sure she too will do well. PGB 1 Linney’s Aescwine C'est La Vie Very smart lady rising 2 years old. Good head ratios and shape, dark oval eye, strong jaws with correct, clean dentition. Powerful neck of good length into well toned and angulated front assembly with strong bone and knuckled feet. Plenty of room in her deep chest, well ribbed up. Holds her topline firm at all times static or on the move, thanks to her defined quarters. Uses the ring to her advantage with an effortless stride in all directions. Shown in full, clean, harsh jacket to finish her. Had to concede to her half sister today on the final go round, but her title cannot be far away. RBCC OB 1 Linney’s Ch Aescwine Ampelograph This 5 year old was the star of the day for me, such a pleasure to go over, her head is strong yet so feminine with expressive dark eyes, fully mobile ears, distinct stop and powerful jaws with full clean dentition and scissor bite. Forehand is spot on for angulation and musculature all mirrored to a “T” in her equally as well constructed quarters giving a balanced silhouette static or on the move where she is perfect in her footfall and drives hard covering the ground efficiently expending no wasted energy in the process. Put down to the minute in clean harsh jacket to complete the very good picture. Given her quality build I’m sure she could do a good days work and some. BCC & BOB 

Bouvier Des Flandres Not the biggest of entries but a quality one all the same. 

OD 1 Lambert & Eastham’s Ch Quiche's Xplorer Treks to Bouvpilot (Can Imp) 2 year old well constructed throughout from his strong impressive head through to his ultra powerful hindquarters. Super head to handle being broad in skull and muzzle, flat cheeks, perceptible stop, ears set on high and dark well set expressive eyes to complete the look. Powerful neck of good length easing into his well developed forehand not only for angulation but muscle toning as well. Forelimbs are as straight as a die, strong and well boned. Deep in chest,ample spring to ribbing, solid in topline that is firm at all times. Hindquarters match his forehand for toning with moderate angulation allowing the precise and powerful drive to match his reach. Put down to the minute in coarse dry jacket to complete what is a very good overall picture. DCC & BOB 2 Pierpoint & Pierpoint’s Chepam Grenadier Rising 3 years old this boy deserves to be titled judging from today’s performance and I’m sure he will be long. All male in head being broad and well proportioned with appealing dark eyes, high set ears and strong jaws with correct dentition. Well constructed fore and aft in terms of angles and body toning. He is balanced in outline with an easy stride pattern coming and going. He may have been put off by the wind as he wasn’t as clean in profile today as his build suggested he should have been. Shown in excellent clean jacket of good hard texture. RDCC Three quality females presented here today OB 1 Lambert & Eastham’s Ch Utah Rebbel Off The Eurisever with Bouvpilot (Imp Nld) 2 ½ year old solidly built all over.

Forehand is powerful and well angulated supported by straight, strong limbs and compact feet. Ample depth of chest and spring of rib, topline firm and unwavering on the move. Controlled and sound from all angles. Another perfectly prepared for the ring in terms of jacket and conditioning. Not quite so precise as the male in profile today. BCC 2 Simmons’ Chepam Queen Of Swords At 5 ½ years old this lady is super fit and muscular. Her head is well proportioned with flat skull, high set well used ears and dark expressive eyes, strength in jaws with complete, clean dentition. Neck is strong and muscled into well angulated and toned front assembly supported by straight limbs and compact feet. Ample depth of chest, well ribbed up and a strong firm topline. Powerful and muscular hindquarters allowed her to move with excellent drive once she settled. Well prepared in jacket and overall toning. RBCC 3 Bruintjes Schaap’s Ir Ch Lux Ch UK Ch Fleur Sennah Vd Vanenblikhoeve

Newfoundland 

SBD/B 1 Moore & James’ Starnewf Mr Dark Sky JW 2 year old black male. Good size and shape overall. Scores well in head being strong without being overdone or coarse in any way. Broad in skull, mid brown eyes, well set ears and strength in jaws with correct dentition. Moderate angulation fore and aft, ample bone, tight feet, well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing, firm level topline that holds at all times static or in motion where he is steady with good side gait and true out and back. Well prepared in dense jacket of good texture. BSB and later watched him take SB G4. 2 Petersone’s Starnewf Little Twinkle Litter sister to winner and very much alike in terms of build and preparation in jacket and body toning. Strong proportionate head to handle without losing her feminine appeal. Mid eye shade, well set ears and broad skull. Strong neck flowing into moderate forehand with strong bone. Holds her shape on the move where she is sound but today a tad closer going away than her brother. Sure these two will swap in the future. 3 Russell’s Zentaur Fizzical Damage PD 1 Fotheringham’s Shadowrise The Outsider Raw 9 month old that has a balanced framework under his dense jacket to build on as he matures. Proportionate in head mid brown eyes, ears set back and set well. Fair length of neck into moderately angulated forehand, deep chest and ample spring to rib. Topline is a tad soft standing but levels on the move, so just age related I’d say. Sound and steady on the move, he just needs time to drop into himself. Shown in full clean jacket. PGD 1 Steels’ Nurburgnewf Ironman 5 ½ year old brown. Clean head lines with eye shade to match his jacket. Strong neck into moderate front assembly. Deep chest ample ribbing, firm topline and just enough definition in quarters. Steady on the move. Not in his best jacket today. 2 Ohara’s Shirebears Supernatural 18 month old black that would benefit from schooling to get him ready for the ring but he could have been affected by the wind on the day ! Good head shape and size in relation to his body. Moderate angles fore and aft, ample ribbing. Tad heavy on the day and would like more leg under him. Sound on the move but close going away. LD Leech & Leech’s Mileoak Utah Beach JW 2 year old white / black. Good head to handle, strong, clean and well proportioned all through. Mid brown eye shade, broad skull, well set ears, strength in jaws with clean dentition. Powerful neck into very good front assembly for angles and muscle toning supported by straight limbs and compact feet. Well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing, holds a level topline at all times thanks in part to his body toning and defined hindquarters. Moves with fluency and utter soundness in any direction. Stands over himself well at rest. Put down to the minute in jacket and conditioning. RDCC. His title cannot be far away from today’s showing. Don’t forget this is a slow maturing breed so time is on his side. IMO 2 Moir’s Newgraden To The Moon An Back JW 2 ¼ year old brown. Close up to winner for overall build and movement today. Scores in head, strong and broad without being heavy in any way. Mid brown eyes, strong jaws and full dentition. Muscular neck into moderately angulated forehand that is matched in his quarters giving him balance and the smooth easy movement displayed here. Well presented in plush coarse jacket.

3 Blahuta’s Daybreaker's You Give Me The Shivers OD 1 Sheridan’s Two Rivers Wise Choice at Colnbear (Imp Usa) JW Bel Jch 2 year old black that looks the part standing or in motion. Super head to go over with hand moulding around it and nothing out of place. Appealing mid brown eyes, broad well developed skull, ears set on correctly, jaws strong and square with correct dentition. Forehand is from the top drawer in terms of angulation, bone and musculature. Well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing, topline is firm and level with breadth in back. Hindquarters mirror his front to a “T” allowing him to power around the ring with a gentle rolling action and consummate ease and efficiency, coming to rest standing four square with minimal fuss from his owner, showing just how well knitted together he is. From today’s performance that crowning ticket cannot be too far away. DCC & BOB 2 Chapman’s Ch Nandobears You'll Never Walk Alone (Imp Deu) 4 year old black that again is well constructed under his plush coarse jacket. Strong all male in head without being overdone in any department. Dark eyes, strong jaws and correct dentition. Powerful neck into clean well angled front with strong bone and good feet. Ample depth of chest and ribbing. Good definition in quarters allowing a positive movement at all times. Coat and body toning preparation is spot on. 3 Drakeford’s Nandobears Yabba Dana Doo at Mileoak (Imp Deu) VD 1 Downing’s Northpier's Non Ducor Duco (Imp USA) VW 8 ¼ year old white / black. Clean well proportioned head to handle, mid brown eyes, well set ears and broad skull. Forehand is moderately angulated and matched by his hindquarters giving a balanced outline and fluent movement at all times belying his age for sure. Good example of the longevity in the entry today. 2 Crosier & Crosier’s Nurburgnewf Cayman ShCEx VW 8 year old black that ran the winner close on the day but not quite so sure footed going away. Good head to go over, balanced and clean lines, dark eyes, broad skull and well set ears. Muscular neck of fair length into moderate forehand in terms of angulation.

Super well proportioned head to go over, strong all through yet no doubting her femininity at all. Dark eyes, ears set on well, enough width in skull and muzzle with full clean dentition. Strong neck flowing into well constructed forehand with ample bone and straight front. Good depth of chest and spring of ribbing for her age, topline is still a tad soft when static but levels on the move so only an age thing I’d say. Well defined in hindquarters to compliment her front allowing a sound movement with desired slight roll once she settled. Surely has a bright future. BPIB PG 4 JB 1 Rennison’s Oukaya Forever Asteria Of Kizmet to Zaniah (Imp Fra) 18 month old white / black that is well built under her dense clean jacket but she just needs a bit more time to finish as she may be at that “in between” stage today. Scores well in head, strong yet in no way overdone nor losing the feminine appeal. Mid eye shade, strength in jaws and clean dentition. Muscular neck into moderate forehand for angles and bone. Well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing, holds a firm level topline on the move where she is sound and clean in footfall at all times.

Clean head lines, broad in skull and muzzle with clean dentition. Dark well set eyes and small ears. Forehand is moderately angulated and well toned as are her quarters. Shown in good jacket. 3 Hosie’s Shadowrise Smash'n Grab JW LB 1 Groves’ Newgraden Hope And Glory for Bridgestone JW 2 ¼ year old brown. Good head to handle all through from her broad skull to her strong muzzle and all in between, it is well proportioned and definitely feminine. Powerful forehand with moderate angles and straight strong limbs with tight feet. Ample depth of chest and spring to ribbing, level topline and defined in quarters. Sound and fluent on the move. Maybe coating on the day. 2 Mills & Chatburn’s Oialt Back With A Icy Three JW 3 ½ year old black that is larger in framework than winner. Scores in head, well proportioned and clean to go over. Forehand and hindquarters are matched for angulation and body toning. Steady on the move when settled into her stride. 3 Hosie’s Shadowrise Wild Fire OB 1 Pallett’s Yulla For Sheenmarie Von Baywatch (Imp Ger) JW 5 ½ year old brown.

Muscular neck flowing into well constructed forehand and straight strong limbs. Deep in chest, ample ribbing, topline is firm and level at all times and holds on the move. Powerfully built in quarters allowing a positive driving action with slight roll. Well presented overall in coat and conditioning. RBCC 2 Lloyd & Lloyd’s Ch Cewrirdwr Morgana 5 ½ year old black that is slightly smaller cast than first place today but she is just as balanced and sound on the move. Well proportioned head to handle, clean lines and strength all through, dark well set eyes and correct dentition. Powerful forehand, good angulation supported by straight strong limbs. Ample depth of chest and ribbing, holds a firm level topline on the move thanks in part to her well muscled quarters. Shown in full clean jacket. 3 Arkell’s Camnoire She's A Star by Cannark VB 1 Adair & Adair’s Ch King Of Helluland Love Actually at Darebear (Imp Svk) Judged this well constructed 9 ½ year old black 8 years ago at Border Union and gave her JB class then. Today it’s pleasing to see she is titled and like a fine wine she has improved with age and like the male she proves that with correct husbandry they have longevity. Super head to handle, strong yet oh so feminine all through from her broad skull to her strength of muzzle. Expressive dark eyes and well set ears. Forehand is so well developed for muscle toning as well as angulation and when coupled together with her equally as impressive quarters she could not have move incorrectly if she tried. Sound in all directions with the gentle rolling action. BCC & BVIB together with the male looked a good couple going around for BOB but in the end he just pipped it as he had been rested and coped better with the temperature. Both a real credit to the breed. You must be proud.
