PGD (5,1)

1. Lynch’s Chirolin Magic Strike at Garnox. Rather varied class with some very different dogs challenging. This 15 mth old came out on top scoring for overall construction.

Masculine head with well-rounded skull, definite stop, expressive eyes of good size, flaring ears set on just right, lean through the cheeks and correct dentition.

Slightly arched neck, firm straight back, well sprung ribs, short in the couplings and sickle tail set on well but would just like a touch more length of leg.

Moderate length of neck, level back, good depth to brisket, pleasing rib, firm loin and sickle tail set on high. Attractive headpiece with good skull, correct stop, super expressive eyes, large flaring ears and lean cheeks. He stands well naturally in front and has correct feet. On the move, he moved out well on the go around and is accurate coming towards but winner just had the edge going away.

3. Humphreys’ Amarantos Meet Joe Black

OD (4,0)

1. Murphy’s Aphienna Oh Mio My. Good class which saw this 2 yr old come out on top and what a super boy he is! Excelling for type, a delight hands on and using himself fully at all times.

VD (2,0)

1. Symon’s Bramerita Here's Trouble at Charabri VW. 8 yr old who comfortably took this class for me. Neck of medium length, firm backline, good depth to brisket, well sprung ribs, short loin and sickle tail set on nice and high. Pleasing head and expression with well-rounded skull, eyes of good colour which are set well apart, flaring ears of good size and lean through the cheeks.

2. Sangster’s Chirolin Hugo's The Boss at Kirlasidh. 9 yr old who was not all relaxed and therefore did not give his all and was reluctant on the move. He pleased for type but couldn’t quite match the outline of 1. I would like to see more length of neck to balance, topline is correct, ribbing well sprung and tail is set on ok. Well rounded skull, definite stop, dark expressive eyes of good size and placed well apart, flaring ears of good size and slightly pointed muzzle. Difficult to fully assess movement.

SBD (2,0)

1. Fellone’s French Connection Right Royal of Emarachis (Imp Cze). 9 mth old who has plenty to like. Slightly arched neck of correct length, firm level back, ribbing developing well for age and high set tail of excellent carriage and well plumed. Attractive head with well rounded skull, correct stop, expressive eyes of good size and colour, large ears of correct set and typical muzzle. He stands true in front and has very good feet. On the move he moves out well on the go around and is parallel coming at you but somewhat closer when going away.

2. Maclachlan & McDonald’s Athos The Noble. Inquisitive 6 mth old who is quite raw right now as you would expect. Compact outline with pleasing neck, topline somewhat roached, ribbing to develop and tail set on ok. Sufficient rounding to skull, eyes match the coat colour, ears are higher set than preferred, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle. Fair action all through.

GCD (1,0)

1. Symon’s Bramerita Here's Trouble at Charabri VW

MPB (2,0)

1. Magri’s Bramerita Im A Faithful Rozamie. Two nice but quite different pups challenged here with this 6 mth old taking the class. Super confident youngster who is very well constructed. She appealed for type, is totally feminine and presented a very nice outline. Slightly arched neck of correct length to balance, level back, good length to ribcage and sickle tail set on high. Delightful head with good skull, defined stop, large flaring ears, expressive eyes which are set well apart, lean cheeks and good dentition. Well made both front and rear and she stands nice and straight in front and certainly didn’t disappoint on the move and she carries herself so well too.

2. Enos’ Penapettit Pandorable. This 7 mth old wasn’t quite as co-operative for her handler on the move but she too, has so much to like. Neck of correct length, straight topline, ribbed well back and ribbing developing well for age, firm loin and sickle tail of correct set and carriage. Most attractive head with well-rounded skull, definite stop, excellent eye and ear, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle. She stands on good feet and from what I could see, she moved freely.

PB (4,0)

1. Hornby’s Bramerita Priceless. This precocious 10 mth old immediately caught my eye in this class, using herself at all times and presenting a super outline. Moderate length of neck with slight arch, firm through the topline, good depth to brisket, ribbing extends well back, short in the couplings and well plumed tail set on high and of good carriage. Quality headpiece which is full of femininity, correct skull, definite stop, dark round eyes of good size and placement in the skull, large flaring ears, lean cheeks and correct dentition. Of sound construction both front and rear and she stands true in front on good feet. Moving freely on the down and back and also pleased on the go around. RCC and Best Puppy.

2. Silverstein’s Bramerita Posy of Violets at Silverchi. This girl turned out to be the littermate of the class winner and I can totally see that as they share many of the same attributes. Well balanced in outline with slightly arched neck of medium length, level topline, correct ribbing, firm loin and sickle tail set on high and well plumed. Feminine headpiece with well-rounded skull, correct stop, expressive eyes of good size, flaring ears set on well and lean cheeks but just a touch shorter in muzzle than 1. She too is well built all through and she is clean on the down and back and moves out well when viewed in profile.

3. Gilling’s Chantico Black Diamond of Talocan (IKC)

JB (7,2)

1. Silverstein’s Silverchi Name That Tune. The first two were close up here for me with the win going to this 12 mth old. Feminine throughout, she pleased for type and presented a nicely balanced outline with correct length of neck, firm level back, good depth to brisket, ribbing well sprung and sickle tail correct for both set and carriage. Totally feminine in head with a super saucy expression; well-rounded skull, good stop, round eyes of good size and set, flaring ears set on just right, clean through the cheeks and good dentition. Shoulders well laid, straight forelegs and stands on good feet. Moving cleanly coming and going and goes so well on the go around and full of confidence.

Moderate length of neck which is nicely arched, correct in topline, pleasing rib development, firm loin and tail correct for set and carriage. Very nice head with most appealing expression; good skull, definite stop, large round eyes which are set well apart, flaring ears of good size, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle.

3. Czyz’s Flaming Lamborghini Right Royal (Imp Cze)

PGB (7,1)

1. Gilling’s Rubyanlo Cleopatra of Talocan. 20 mth old who shows herself off to advantage and was very well handled here. She has a good length of neck, is nice and firm through the topline, ribbing is well sprung and her tail is set on high and carried in typical fashion. Attractive head with well-rounded skull, definite stop, eyes of good size and correctly placed in the skull, flaring ears set on well, correct muzzle and good dentition. She stands well naturally on good feet and when gaiting, she pleased fore and aft and really moves out when viewed in profile.

2. Robson’s Tidos Voodoo Lady. This 20 mth old is quite different to the winner but she still appealed. Super headed girl with characteristic saucy expression; excellent skull, defined stop, round eyes of good colour, size and set, large flaring ears, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle. Standing true in front on correct feet and firm hindquarters with good turn of stifle and hocks well let down. Sadly part way through the class she became unsettled and did not give all that she could, however initially she moved out well on the go around.

3. Langford’s Bramerita Natural Blonde at Boetandales

LB (5,1)

1. Todd-McCoid’s Rubyanlo Knock Your Sox Off. What a super character this 19 mth old is – full of confidence and making the most of herself at all times.

Feminine headpiece with good skull, correct stop, expressive eyes of good size and colour, flaring ears set on just right, lean cheeks and correct dentition. Pleasing angulation both ends and she stands straight in front on good feet. She goes well when viewed in profile with excellent carriage, is nice and firm in the rear and ok coming towards.

2. Russell’s Chirouxe Moonage Daydream. Approaching 5 yrs this girl was close up to the winner. She too is good in outline with slightly arched neck of correct length to balance, firm through the backline, deep brisket, well sprung ribs and sickle tail set on well. Most attractive head with good skull, defined stop, super expressive eyes, flaring ears of good size and set and totally full of ‘sauce’. Pleasing front assembly and she stands on correct feet but doesn’t quite stand as well when viewed from the rear, however when gaiting she went well on the go around.

3. Wilcox & Lane’s Bramerita Angel Dust

OB (6,0)

1. Titterell & Bruce’s Caballie Madame Blondie. Good quality class but with some quite different girls challenging which didn’t make for an easy task. This 3 yr old was my winner and what a stunning outline she presents; beautifully balanced with the best of necks, firm level topline, deep brisket, correct ribbing and plumed sickle tail set on nice and high. Totally feminine in head with well-rounded skull, definite stop, nice dark eyes, flaring ears of good size and set, lean through the cheeks, correct muzzle and good dentition. She never stops showing, was clean when coming and going and a pleasure to watch on the go around. Presented in super coat and condition and handled to advantage. CC and another gaining their title on the day.

2. Day’s Ch Monicachi Queen of Diamonds JW. 3 yr old who also has so much to like and she was good hands on. Balanced in outline with moderate length of neck, firm level back, good depth to chest, ribbing well sprung and well-plumed tail set on high and of correct carriage. Most attractive head, full of femininity, well-rounded skull, good stop, eyes of good size and set well apart, large flaring ears of correct set, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle.

3. Part’s Ir Ch Starceylon Moonflower at Fairywings Ir Jch

VB (2,0)

1. Salitura’s Shkyia’s Sweet Delight. A difficult class to judge which saw this 13 yr old come out on top. She has a pretty good neck, is nice and firm through the topline, ribbing is well sprung and ribcage extends well back. Feminine head with decent skull, ears are nice and dark and set well apart, she has lean cheeks and muzzle is slightly pointed as required. Moving ok on the go around but beginning to lose muscle-tone in the rear.

2. Sharp & Gourlay’s Bronteana Maleficent Queen of Rubyanlo. For me this 10 yr was very good for type and construction but she was very overweight and this really did detract on the day. Most attractive head and expression; well-rounded skull, definite stop, large round eyes of good colour and placement in the skull, ears of good size, lean cheeks, correct muzzle and very good pigmentation. Stands true in front and moved parallel on the down and back.

SBB (2,1)

1. Czyz’s Flaming Lamborghini Right Royal (Imp Cze). 9 mth old out of a smaller mould who is totally feminine and presented a pleasing outline. Slightly arched neck of correct length to balance, firm topline, ribbing extends well back and tail is set on high. Well-rounded skull, defined stop, pleasing eye and ear, lean through the cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle. She stands on good feet and when gaiting she moved out well on the go around, is correct coming towards but a touch closer when going away. Best Special Beginner.

GCB (3,1)

1. Symon’s Jotolemar Time for A Change at Charabri. 5 yr old who shows herself off to advantage. Slightly arched neck of correct length, firm topline but with a touch more length to body, ribbing extends well back and tail pleased for set and carriage. She has a nice head and expression with correct skull, ears of good size and placed well apart, large flaring ears and lean through the cheeks. Pleasing angles both ends and she moves out well when viewed in profile.

2. Symon’s Jotolemar Time Stands Still with Charabri. 2 yr old with pretty good neck, level back, pleasing rib development, firm loin and tail set on well. Not quite skull or overall expression of winner but she has nice dark eyes which are set well apart, pretty good ears, lean cheeks and slightly pointed muzzle. She stands on good feet but is a little untidy and she is well angulated behind. Moves ok.
