OES J 1 Wilkinson’s Kalaju Dream A Little Dream 13 month old female that is developing well at this stage. Good head to go over being square in appearance with dark well set eyes and small well placed ears. Enough length in neck with slight arch. Forehand is moderately angulated and well toned. Well let down in chest and sprung in rib. Holds her topline firm at all times thanks in part to her well toned quarters. Steady and sound on the move in all directions. Turned out in super harsh jacket. RBOB 2 Wilkinson’s Kalaju King Of Dreams Litter brother to winner and very much alike in many ways regards to overall construction and outline but today he was a handful and didn’t play ball with his patient handler especially on the move. Like her he is well put together under his jacket but just needs to be reined in to be at his best. O 1 Miller’s CH Mellowdee Fancy Nancy for Millwinkie JW 4 year old female of very good breed type overall. Large capacious head to handle, ears and eyes set well, dark pigmentation all through, strong jaws with correct dentition. Forehand is so well angulated and toned as are her quarters when all put together allowed the freedom in her movement to cover the ground effortlessly. Presented in clean harsh jacket. BOB 2 Castle’s Molyneux Just You Wait Judged this 2 ½ year old female recently and made her BOB and said then that she needs to be gone over to be appreciated. She is slightly longer cast than winner today but well constructed in front and hindquarters allowing her to move with positivity and complete soundness at all times. Strong yet feminine in head, broad in skull and well set eyes with dark pigment. AVNSC Pastoral P 1 Attwood & Squires’ Dragonjoy Moonlight over Taftazini [Imp Ita] [Pembroke Corgi] Very promising 8 month old female that never put a foot wrong all the time she was in the ring. Foxy head that is good to go over, mid brown well set round eyes, ears set on and used well when needed, strong jaws with full clean dentition and correct scissor bite. Very well angulated fore and aft giving a balanced outline and the soundest of movements form any angle. She just needs to tighten up as she matures. Shown in overall good conditioning from muscle to jacket. BP & PG1 2 Trimnell’s Vallonne Magical Flame [Briard] 11 month old well constructed female that just needs time to body up as she grows on. Good head to handle, dark brown expressive eyes, ears set on high and used well when alerted. Muscular neck of fair length into toned forehand. Ample spring of rib and depth of chest. Topline firm and level at all times. Correct double dewclaws and long dry jacket. 3 Lees’ Makgubo Alma [Hungarian Puli] J 1 Southron’s Vallonne Magical Trick to Kastobri [Briard] Litter sister to 2nd in puppy and very much out of the same mould except that she has a tad more body covering. Head is well proportioned with strength in jaws and correct dentition. Like her litter mate she is so easy on the move with super side gait. Sure they will both have good futures. O 1 Cowley’s CH Kashbeluli There We Are Then JW ShCEx OSW [Hungarian Puli] Strong well built 3 year old male full of breed qualities. Head is well proportioned and small in relation to his body. Darkest of eyes and overall pigmentation. Strong neck of medium length into very good forehand supported by well boned limbs and tight feet.

Well presented in jacket and overall conditioning. 2 Fowler & Mancey’s Toptune Angel Eyes [Belgian Shepherd Dog Groenendael] 5 year female.

Shown in full bloom. 2 Deveson’s Milesend Sea Pearl [Shetland Sheepdog] 10 year old female that again is well put together under her dense clean jacket but now she is not so fluent on the move as winner today. Good head shape and proportions, sweet expressive eyes and mobile ears. Sound on the move but not so positive in quarters. AV IR O 1 Huntley’s Var Des Monts Lokiralgris at Puidelup [Icelandic Sheepdog] 18 month old female. Super head to handle strong yet so feminine in appearance.

BAVIR & G3 2 Henshaw’s Whitehemi’s Crossley [White Swiss Shepherd] 18 month old well made female but needs more body covering as she grows.

AVNSC Working P 1 Cubitt’s Zefather’s Wreck It Ralph for Zebeldane [Great Dane] Dark brindle male rising a year old and coming together nicely for a large dog. Good in head with strong jaws and full dentition, dark eyes and well set ears. Long muscular neck into moderately angulated front. Deep in chest with enough spring to ribbing. Sound on the move when he settled. Needs time to grow into himself. BP & PG2 2 Powell’s Riversrock Silver Ghost [Rottweiler] 11 month old male.

Comes to rest standing four square. Shown in very good jacket.2 Perfitt-Jones’ Samjoe’s The One And Only VW [Alaskan Malamute] 8 ½ year old female of good honest breed type. I have judged her before and she always produces in tune with her clever handler. Strong in head without losing her feminine appeal. Large clean teeth and correct bite. Well angulated fore and aft allowing a steady stride pattern although today she wasn’t as clean behind as I have seen her move previously. Still a showgirl though. 3 Cope & Thorn’s Fonblanque Fiona [Great Dane] O 1 Willetts’ CH Philoma The Professional JW [Giant Schnauzer] What can I say about this stunning 2 year old male other than WOW. Every inch of him blends into the next part to produce a real showman. His head is strong without being overdone in any way, appealing dark eyes, strong jaws with perfect dentition. Powerful neck of fair length into first class front assembly in terms of angulation and muscle toning, this is mirrored to a “T” by his quarters presenting an ideal silhouette when stacked up. If this wasn’t enough then he really comes into his own when he drives round the ring effortlessly expending no wasted energy in unison with his handler. Put down to the minute in gleaming hard jacket to complete the excellent picture. BAVNSC & G1 So pleased to watch him take BIS later in the day under Mark James. 2 Perfitt’s Samjoe Shadowhunter JW [Alaskan Malamute] 3 ½ year old male. Scores well in head being strong without being overdone or coarse in any way. Well set ears and eyes with strength in jaws and correct dentition. Powerfully built in forehand so capable of freighting I’d say. Well let down in chest and sprung in ribbing topline firm with gentle slope into muscular quarters. Shown in the best of jackets to complete the picture. Unlucky to meet the in form Schnauzer on the day 3 Perfitt’s Samjoe Seelie Queen [Alaskan Malamute] AV Working Veteran 1 Downing & Seastrom’s Northpier’s Non Ducor VW[Imp USA] [Newfoundland] I have judged this white/ black male before and admired him greatly for type and build. Now at 8 years old he is like a fine wine that just gets better with age. Head is so good to go over with everything blending well, dark eyes set apart and fully mobile well set ears. Forehand is spot on not only for angulation but musculature as well. Deep well filled chest, best of ribbing, firm topline into well defined quarters that compliment his front exactly. His movement is methodical and super sound with the necessary gentle rolling action called for, in complete harmony with his handler. All this is finished with an immaculate clean well prepared jacket. BV and then pleased to watch him take BVIS where he was as fresh as a daisy. 2 Perfitt-Jones’ Samjoe’s The One And Only VW [Alaskan Malamute] 3 Bird’s CH Cullumbern Milano JW ShCEx OSW [Bernese Mountain Dog]
