Puppy (1)

1. Allenby’s Rangali Franknfurter. An attractive young dog of good proportions and well balanced in front and rear. Although still some maturing to do he is well put together with a pleasing head, strong neck and good shape to topline and he particularly impressed me on the move with his long ground covering stride, level topline and excellent movement coming and going. Best Puppy.

Post Graduate (3)

1. Allenby’s Rangali Columbia. Litter sister to 1st in Puppy with similar attributes but on a more scopey frame. Appreciated her length of leg and balance of front and rear quarters. She moved with purpose, covering ground effortlessly with true movement coming and going. I would have just preferred her slightly shorter throughout.

2. Guernari & Dane’s Soletrader Basil Fawlty. A substantial male, more mature than the winner of this class, with good depth of chest and front fill. Balanced head, correct ears and level in topline. Well bent and muscled hindquaters. Moved well, up and down, but not quite the fluidity of 1 in front movement.

3. Granum & Cadmore’s Soletrader Prue Leith.

Open (2)

1. Cadmore’s Soletrader Sybil Fawlty. A quality bitch of excellent proportions of length to leg and short couplings, this, combined with her balanced front and rear quarters give a really pleasing silhouette. Excellent head and well set ears of correct length. Good depth of chest and well ribbed with strong loin and level topline. Could be perhaps slightly cleaner coming towards, but moved very well in profile, covering ground and holding her topline. Well presented with excellent coat. BOB.

2. Guernari & Dane’s Cynetkoy’s Tinker Tailor. A mature dog, good for size, but would prefer shorter in body for ideal proportions. Well set ears of good length. Good depth of chest and level topline. Correct set tail and carried well on the move. Not quite the reach and drive of the winner, moved ok coming and going.
