RESERVE BEST IN SHOW

Tite’s Rijobeau Well I Never, miniature smooth-haired, black and tan dog, I would personally prefer more length overall to his head, but it was balanced. He has a moderately long body and is without any exaggerations. He has a long, muscular, slightly arched neck and a good set of shoulders, ribs extended well back, with good length of sternum, and moves well around the ring.

THIRD BIS

O’Connell’s Almarxils Flamenco Dancer at Llennocor, miniature wire-haired red bitch, in excellent coat for a red with good texture. She displays a long flowing neck into her sloping shoulder. Body sufficiently clear of the ground to allow free movement.

BEST PUPPY IN SHOW

Hutchings, Teckeltowns Kelby Springs into Colliedach, miniature smooth-haired red bitch, compact, well-muscled puppy of good length, full volume thorax, excellent underline, topline at all times and bend of stifle, stands on full knuckled feet with free flowing movement.

RES BEST PUPPY IN SHOW

Kilroy’s Janacop Sweet Child of Mine, miniature wire-haired, red dog, handsome conical head, ridges over eyes strongly prominent with a lovely expression and in excellent coat, he has a good deep thorax, and a 45 degree set of forequarters, he held his head proudly with strong purposeful movement.

BEST VETERAN IN SHOW

Ergis’s, Ch Siouxline Rapunzel with Melriding, miniature smooth-haired, red bitch of 12 years of age. Her expression was one of beauty and knowing; she had full dentition for one of this age, and her eyes were obliquely set with her ears of a moderate length. 90-degree angles in her forequarters and robustly muscled hindquarters, her feet were broad and close-knit, and she moved freely and flowing.

RESERVE BEST VETERAN IN SHOW

Woodvine-Shone’s Ch Hanishan Fire Cracker, miniature long-haired, shaded red male, of 7 years of age, beautifully prepared, this boy did not disappoint me and can easily hold his own in younger company. Superb head and eye, excellent forechest angles and a level topline, moved with drive.

THIRD BEST VETERAN IN SHOW

Mills-Jones, Ch Carlita Sunrise, miniature wire-haired, wild boar male in superb coat, he has a super head and dentition, front feet were full and deep. He had strong pliant muscles, but I would prefer tighter shoulders.
