MPD(3, 2) 1 Pascoe's Lodon Riley. Needs practice, both handler and dog! He is quite a handful and needs firmer handling to help him show. I think he is sound enough and certainly well boned.
PD(6, 1) 1 Hawksby's Benboee Beguiling At Delahawk. Some nice prospects here, winner is a good shape, not too long in back, good front and upper arm slope, elegant neckline, body coming along well and has sound quarters, he was moving well all round. 2 Court's Ballyheige Burretickentia. A bit heavy in head and ears were very large, also appealed for construction and movement and sweeping body lines, maybe a wee bit long in loin for this breed, very precise moving. 3 Grant's Goosepoint Dipper From Stairfoot.
JD(5, 1) 1 Hawksby's Benboee Beguiling At Delahawk. 2 Rose &Hunt's Kavacanne Gale Force Wind If anything he was a better type than above, but not his front and upper arm slope. I admired his height to length proportions, slight arch over loin and powerful rear. 3 Grant's Goosepoint Dipper From Stairfoot.
GD(4) 1 Rose &Hunt's Kavacanne Gale Force Wind. 2 Dymond's Friarsbelle Marsh Mellow. Front could be better, very loose at the elbows and not filled in between the front legs, excellent body, deep enough and ribbed well back. A touch over angulated at the rear and although well muscled and true behind he does tend to leave his quarters behind him on the move, in excellent condition throughout. 3 Young &Booth's Keigame Goldsmith.
PGD(4) 1 Duncan's Kavacanne Hun Toint. Good for type and he moves with enthusiasm and power, a little loose at the elbows, good forechest, sweeping body lines, well made over loin and croup, good set on of tail, ok in rear. A good honest sort all round. 2 Hughes' Sonnenberg Sealion. A little too houndy in head and flews and a little too throaty, correct length of foreleg for his length of body and depth, ok in rear and such a willing and lovely temperament. 3 Hammond, Gulliford &Jefferies' Xsepshunall Merlot Of Southmead.
LD (8, 1) 1, CC &BOB, Malin's Heathermark Irish At Benrae ShCM. The most beautiful head, chiselled under eyes, which are well set and of good size and shape, grand neck and front, spot on moving up and down and covers the ground in profile. Would like him a bit more up on his pasterns, otherwise a real beauty of super quality. 2 Barnett's Puddledub Poit Dhubh. Appealed more and more as the class progressed. A little heavy in flews and skin could be tighter, overall a nicely constructed sound boy, good over loin and strong in rear. 3 Hayes' Arkangath Mud Dauber.
OD(4, 1) 1 &Res CC, Drysdale's Ch Barleyarch Farthing At Drysika JW ShCM. Very strong and fit, good firm legs and feet, nice neckline and slight arch over loin. A little thick in back skull maybe, good quarters and length of second thighs, well set and carried tail, smooth, effortless mover. 2 Mann &Roden's Sh Ch Valger Nearco From Keigame. Just a bit overdone in front and rear angulation and rather flat in topline, moved ok and well handled but not too keen on his rather out of sync proportions. 3 Graham's Winterwel Jelly Belly With Nyliram.
VD(3) 1 Duncan's Sh Ch Magregor Pukka JW ShCM. Smashing old boy of lovely type, size and general build, holds himself well and is dead sound too, good height to length proportions and overall a credit to his owners. 2 Stedman's Indijazz Grand Designer ShCM. Too deep in flews and a wee bit flat in topline, very precise moving, good short couplings and just right amount of angulation in rear, well set tail, showing and moving very well indeed. 3 Brown's Montalba Maurice ShCM.
MPB(6, 3) 1 Gain &Dixon's Kavacanne A Vimto. Loved the first two, both so promising. At the moment she is bolt upright on her pasterns and would like to see a bit of 'give' here. Lovely body and rear, moved very precisely and has an attractive head in proportion to her body. 2 Whitehouse's Kazanpaul Creme De La Creme. Not quite as fit, but an equally lovely type and high quality, she is a beautiful baby and I would not want her any different at this stage. 3 Potter &Burton's Erinnerung Blaze.
PB(7) 1 &BP, Drew's Cushatlaw Illustrious. Lovely puppy, stood out in a mixed line-up, sound, free and active, well forward for age and such a lovely type, very promising indeed. 2 Knowles &Glen's Wilholme Sharp N Smart At Bessalone. Taller and a bit inbetween stages at the moment, falls away under the eyes a touch and a bit upright in shoulders, grand body and ok in rear, deep enough and a fair mover. Loved the third but she was untrained, as was her handler. 3 Ransome's Tuptonsett Sunseeker.
JB(7, 1) 1 Rose's Kavacanne Blowin A Gale JW. Super class, spoilt for choice! I loved the last five, winner won over the lovely puppy, second on her extra fitness as would be expected in an older bitch, pleasing shape and type, slightly rounded classic skull, excellent front and rear angulation, lovely ribbing and topline is very correct, good power on the move too. 2 Drew's Cushatlaw Illustrious. 3 Duncan's Kavacanne Gale Storm JW.
GB(5) 1 Stockley's Bejam Dream Design. Good typy black with an exquisite head and eyes, she can stand out on one elbow, but moves ok in front, lovely for size and topline, slight arch over loin into super rear and well carried tail, sound legs and feet. 2 Hinchliff's Goosepoint Eiderdown. Up from fifth in junior and a lovely girl, just needs to fill inbetween the elbows and tighten in front a little more, she is good in rear, promising body and nicely curved throughout. 3 Peebles' Keigame Hopscotch.
PGB(6, 1) 1 Hughes' Sonnenberg Seaholly. A beauty, very fit and powerful moving, looks mature and ready for anything, pleasing head and width of muzzle, sound legs and feet, good firm pasterns, sweeping underline and good tail set on. A beautiful colour too! An excellent precise moving girl. 2 Davison's Sirilta Solitaire. Beautiful head on this black and also impressed for quality in build and proportions. I thought she looked rather cut up in underline, although her ribbing was good. Maybe a litter would bring it down. Also impressed on the move. 3 Hinchliff's Goosepoint Beluga.
LB(8) 1 &CC, Squire's Taftazini Wilshee Wyn Too JW. Another nice class. Winner perfect size and very feminine yet still very strong and workmanlike, stands over a lot of ground and has very good front and rear angles, clean head with gently curved lips, a really nice quality bitch all through. 2 Towns Lay's Indijazz Truly Scrumptious. Just not quite the lay of shoulder and upper arm of above, but she too can really move out well, good body and underline, sound rear, needs a touch more muscletone. 3 Galloway &Anderson's Alayglow Marsa Wizri Jun Ch ShCM.
OB(5) 1 &Res CC, Halbert's Valger Odessa At Marimay. Liked the first two very much indeed, winner kept her topline better on the move around the ring and was marginally better in front coming towards, great for size, type and proportions, sound legs and feet. 2 Harris' Sh Ch Barleyarch Polkadot JW. Beautifully muscled which I really admired, looks very much a bitch who could go all day, tighter elbows would improve and she is a touch flat in loin. I loved her firm legs and great body and ideal rear angulation. 3 Peebles' Keigame Leading Lady JW ShCM.
