My sincere thanks to the exhibitors for the sporting entry of lovely hounds; all were beautifully presented and a credit to their owners. I have not specifically mentioned bites or coats in the individual reports as all were found to be correct on the day. It was a pleasure to judge such a quality entry

Puppy – 3 entries – 1 Abs

1st – Allenby – Rangali Franknfurter

6 month old tri colour male. A lovely type with a melting expression. He is well balanced for one so young, he possesses a good head with a lovely dark oval eye, his ears are long with correct fold and length. He has a fabulous neck and shoulder assembly with a good return of upper arm and a prominent sternum. He excels in his rear angulation and is clearly well-constructed throughout. On the move, he was a lovely mover, showing a light and active gait while maintaining his balance. A very promising puppy with a bright future. Pleased to award him Best Puppy.

2nd – Watson & Kenna – Cynetkoy Double Trouble

10 month old tri colour bitch. A little out of coat on the day. She has a nice head with correct proportions and a kind expression with a good dark oval eye. A nice neck and a good topline with correct tailset. She has a well laid shoulder, and good upper arm with sufficient prosternum. Her rear angulation was good though would prefer a little more bend of stifle. She moved out well today with reach and drive.

Post Graduate – 2 entries – 0 Abs

1st – Allenby – Rangali Columbia

6 month old tri colour bitch. She oozes femininity and immediately catches your eye with her balanced outline. She has a good head with correct proportions and a lovely dark oval eye. Lovely low set ears with correct fold. She has a really nice neck which flows into her topline and correct tail set. She has a lovely length of body and has a really good front assembly showing good lay of shoulder and correct return of upper arm. She excels in her rear assembly showing a good bend of stifle. A lovely mover and another promising puppy.

2 year old tri colour male. A nice masculine head of good shape with correct proportions. A nice dark eye and well placed ears. He has a strong neck flowing to a good topline and tailset.

1st – Bartley – Ch Erylan Poseidon De La Mer JW ShCEx OSW

3 year old tri colour male. A lovely masculine and mature boy who presents a picture of great quality and balance. He possesses a fabulous head with a good, dark eye and well-placed ears. He has clean strong neck of good length leading into a good firm topline with a correctly set tail. His front is excellent with correct lay of shoulder and return of upper arm and a lovely prominent prosternum, a deep chest and well sprung ribs with a firm loin. He is well angled behind with good muscle which completes the picture. He moved with precision reaching out in front and driving well behind. A worthy champion. Pleased to award him Best of Breed.

2nd – Bartley – Erylan Loki Maitre Du Mal JW

10 year old tri colour male. In superb condition for his age, a real credit to his owner. He is well constructed with good head proportions, nice dark oval eye and well place ears. He has a good neck leading to a firm topline a correct tail set. He has a well laid should and correct length to his upper arm and his rear was strong and muscular with a good bend of stifle. He was not as free in his stride today as the first placed dog, nonetheless he carried himself with great dignity and deservedly awarded Best Veteran.
