1. Campbell’s Klassna Prime Star At Diemzs (Imp Esp). Very promising at 7 months. I admired his overall conformation and size. Well bodied. Attractive eyes aid typical expression. Super pigmentation. True, purposeful mover.

2. Hill’s Sharhazlah’s Devil On Fire. 9 months. Close call. In profuse puppy coat which makes him look larger than he actually is. His body is still developing. Strong head and complementary pigmentation. Steady mover.

3. Johnson’s Lireva’s Down Under With Amardica.

Junior Dog 3,1

1. Smith’s Ch Sueacres Catch A Dream JW. 15 months. My notes say “WOW.” This 15-month-old orange sable is quite special. His head is masculine, with an appealing expression from correctly shaped dark eyes. Super dentition and small, well-set ears. Excellent front. Short, compact body, and high-set tail. Correct, moderately angulated hindquarters. His movement was breathtaking. I had never encountered this fabulous young dog before and thought I might be awarding him his first CC, only to be told later he was already a champion! Without hesitation, I was delighted to award him his 4th CC, and BIS without hesitation

2. Ellen’s Klassana That’s My Dream. 15 months. Another super young dog. A lovely orange coat of excellent colour and texture. Scores highly in head and expression. Beautiful eyes set in a balanced head with perfect finish. Neck short, as required. Shoulders well laid. Holds a secure topline and a high-set tail. Well bodied and presented in first-class condition. This was a very close call between two excellent examples of the breed, so naturally he was called in for consideration of the RCC which, after the go-around, I had no hesitation in handing him the smaller green card. I later learned he was a “baby champion” and awaiting his fourth CC for his title which I predict will not be long.

Minor Puppy Bitch 6,2

1. Van De Burt & Strange’s Gillipom Northern Lites at Norvanik. 7 months. Simply stunning and so captivating with her vivacious, mischievous and highly intelligent expression — eyes truly melt the heart. Exquisite and dainty. Body compact and correct having a well-knit frame and substance required for her age. Forequarters are clean and well laid; short, strong back. High-set, perfectly carried tail; correct medium rear angulations producing movement which is light, buoyant and effortless. Her ring presence is beyond her tender months. She is so promising in every respect so, despite her youth, she could not be denied CC and BPIS.

2. Pike & Carters Breezelyn Tarka Moonshine. 8 months. Another stunning youngster. Extrovert and lively she cannot fail to attract attention. Very pretty head. Dark medium sized eyes give a mischievous expression. Compact body, short loin and fairly deep chest. Well angulated hindquarters. A tad over enthusiastic with her forehand. She is clearly another youngster destined for honours.

3. Cawthera-Purdy’s Lireva’s Waltzing Matilda.

Puppy Bitch 4,1

1. Campbell’s Oraysha New Romance At Diemzs. 9 months. Came into her own in this class and was much more impressive. Head is well balanced with a pleasing finish. Neck well set and short secure topline. Body is well ribbed. Coat is of the correct texture and she is in lovely condition.

2. Cawthera-Purdy’s Lireva’s Wildest Elation. 7 months and giving a lot away in maturity to 1. Beautiful head portrays typical expression especially from those beautiful eyes. Well bodied for age. Secure backline; high set tail. Not as confident as 1 on the move but nonetheless this was a close call.

3. Simmons’s Pettipom Falling In Love.

Junior Bitch 3,1

1. Cawthera-Purdy’s Lireva’s Power of Dreams, 15 months. Lovely disposition. Head contains very attractive slightly oval shaped dark eyes as standard. Perhaps a touch long in muzzle. Neat, small well placed ears. Nicely bodied and compact. High set tail. Confident mover.

2. Minas’s Minaspoms Boubou. 15 months. In abundant coat which makes her look larger than she actually is. Head contains attractive eyes. Would prefer a finer finish to muzzle. She is well bodied, has good legs which she uses to advantage as she moves steadily. Immaculately presented and very much at one with her handler.

Novice Bitch 3,2

1. Baigent’s In Time Poms Daydream Believer (Imp BGR), NAF. 12 months. Sadly stood alone. Pleasing in type with a lot to like. She is a beautiful shape when standing and she holds this on the move. Super tail set. Well proportioned, she has a pleasing head and expression. Well bodied, has good legs which she used to advantage. Once settled she moved true.

Post Graduate 3,1

1. Johnson’s Vip Pom Stars Poker Princess For Amardica (Imp SRB), NAF. TAF. 15 months. Admired her overall size and balanced outline. Balanced bone. Well finished head contains dark appealing eyes of good colour and shape. Nicely bodied with correct shoulders. Clean front and secure backline. Moved very well and clearly promising.

Well bodied. Super black coat. Body is well ribbed. OK for tail. She was not co-operative on the move and content on sniffing the carpet. This was disappointing as she is another promising youngster. Close call.

3. Hill’s Trenarwyn Catherine Wheel At Sharhazlah.

Open 7,1

A wonderful class to judge.

1. Pike & Cater’s Ch Altina’s Georgia On My Mind At Breezelyn. Just over 1 year old. This feminine youngster was new to me but is a young pretender and certainly charismatic. Beautifully presented and conditioned. Lovely for size, shape, and head features. Well-set neck with enough shoulder. Compact body. Super tail set. She is a very confident and purposeful mover and an exemplary show girl. Good harsh outer coat and high-set tail. In an exceptionally competitive class, this girl’s attitude, confidence, and determination made rise above two equally strong challengers. RCC.

2. Robb’s Ch Gleniren All Eyes on Me. Now 4 years. A beautiful champion who never fails to impress. Small and dainty, her pretty feminine head contains expressive dark eyes, small erect ears, and a super tapering muzzle, aiding the desired finish. She has a huge attitude, always giving 100%. Presented in superb coat and condition. This was a difficult decision between two different but equally worthy champions, with the youthful insistence and sharper edge of attitude in the final go-around ultimately influencing the placings.

3. Campbell’s Ch In Time Poms New Beginnings At Diemzs (Imp BGR) JW.

Special Beginners Bitch

1. Cregg’s Edkbangels Zennia. 1st in Limit. Best Special Beginners.

2. Angel’s Foo Footie. 1 year old and a lot to like. Lovely for size and balance. She is particularly nice to examine and is well bodied. A careful mover and produces a pleasing outline. Close call.

3. Baigen’s Baigent’s In Time Poms Daydream Believer (Imp BGR), 1st Novice.

Veteran

1. Simmons’s Ch Pettipom Legend Of Love. JW. Dog. 7 ½ years presented in wonderful condition. He is so beautifully balanced and compact throughout. I admired his balanced outline, short back and well-set tail. Masculine, refined head giving the desired fox-like expression. Small well-placed ears . He moved sound and true in all directions. I was not surprised to learn later he was a Champion and this is clearly is well deserved. Best Veteran In Show.
