1st Beldones Clementine avec Coloratura (Miss E Rose)

I absolutely loved this beautiful sable bitch. Her expression was very eye-catching. Flat cheeks tapering out to ears of good placement, shape and tipped. Her overall outline was pleasing with a good slight rise over the loin, however would prefer more length in the neck. Well-constructed with good front angulation and lay of shoulders. Good turn of stifle. Great muscles in the first thigh. Moved really well with good reach and drive. BOB

2nd Didek Once in A Blue Moon (Mr D & Mrs D Farthing)

Good quality blue merle dog again with great muscle in the first thigh. Well place almond shaped eyes. Good deep chest and deep well sprung ribs. Good quality profuse coat outlining the body. Strong neck of good length. Nicely proportioned and sturdy dog. Tail carriage slightly higher than preferance. Preferred movement of 1 on the day.

1st Uffspring Ultravox for Coloratura (Miss E Rose)

Veteran tricolour bitch of good quality. Well balanced of good length and nice turn of stifle. Nice rise over the loin and rounded croup. Good lay of shoulder and correctly angulated front and hind quarters. Sweet face with well-placed almond shaped eyes. Well placed ears but slightly too erect. Presented well by handler.

2nd Aldreen Illusion in Blue for Didek (Mr D & Mrs D Farthing)

Veteran blue merle bitch with incredible muscle. Sweet expression and nicely placed almond shaped eyes of a good size. Nicely constructed bitch with good overall outline. Good depth of chest and spring of rib, with a strong loin and hindquarters. Tailset correct with nice tail carriage on the move. Preferred movement of 1 on the day as I felt she could have stride out better.
