PUPPY (1,0)

1st Boyle / Virel Atis Over Barrenclough imp Pol 

 A lovely, excitable puppy bitch who gave her handler a bit of a workout, she possesses a very good head and ear set, showing a clean wedge with a flat skull and correctly tipped ears that she used well to create a lovely, sweet expression. She has a nice chest with good, nicely placed shoulders, and has a good coat of correct texture, which was beautifully presented. Once she settled, she moved well around the ring for age, covering the ground with an easy, steady stride. A very promising baby who should have a bright future once she matures. Best Puppy in Breed.

Post Graduate Bitch (1,0)

1st Rose / Beldones Clementine Avec Coloratura

A stunning 4-year-old bitch who immediately catches the eye with her outstanding type and overall balance. She possesses a beautiful, feminine head with a clean, good stop and excellent muzzle-to-skull proportions. Her eyes are of the correct shape and colour, imparting a keen, intelligent expression. Head and ears are beautifully knit together, with the ears set high and carried perfectly.

She features a strong, clean neck that flows seamlessly into a deep chest and well-sprung ribs. Her ribs are good in length, providing an excellent body underline. She holds a firm, good top line both standing and on the move, sloping gently to a correctly angulated croup. The hindquarters are well muscled, showing plenty of power and fitness. Presented in a good coat of beautiful texture and condition, she moved well around the ring with a smooth, effortless, and ground-covering stride. Delighted to award her Best of Breed.

Quality Male of lovely type. Beautifully clean head with correct stop, enhanced by a neat, well-tipped ear set that gave a wonderful expression.

Deservedly took the Reserve Best of Breed.

 1st. Boyle / Barrenclough Heart of Gold JW ShCEx OSW VW 

 At 9 years old, this quality veteran is a credit to the breed, proving that true structure stands the test of time. Lovely clean head with correct proportions, displaying a flat skull and a sweet, intelligent expression. Ear set is excellent. Impressed by the overall construction; has a nice deep chest, well-sprung ribs, and ample bone. Presented in a good, dense coat of correct texture. Moved incredibly well around the ring with smooth, ground-covering reach. 

2nd Rose / Uffspring Ultravox for Coloratura 

 A very honest and appealing 7-year-old. Good, clean head with correct proportions, flat skull, and excellent ear set; small, neat ears that were right on top and used to maximum advantage to give a lovely, typical sweet expression. Nice depth of chest and a balanced overall outline. Presented in good, well-fitted coat that was clean and beautifully groomed. On the move, they tracked straight and moved very well with effortless reach and drive. Just preferred the overall maturity of the winner on the day, but a very close decision.
