Thanks to the Committee and exhibitors for a lovely entry. Final decisions were in agreement with my co-judge, BIS was awarded to the dog, Selmalda I’m Yours JW, RBIS & BPIS, Bourntwyn In My Dreams, BVIS, Dinahtron Son Of A Gun.

P (5,2) Three very nice pups.
1 Bithell’s Bourntwyn In My Dreams. 10 mth old feminine pale fawn, good head proportions, muzzle has required length and square drop of lip, dark eyes giving an extremely appealing expression, chest is well filled, straight bone, would like feet to be slightly tighter, nice length of neck into well set shoulders, depth of brisket, level topline leading to good croup, muscled with correct rear angulation but would like just a bit more width of 2nd thigh, moved out really well. Not the biggest of bitches but felt she came into her own and showed her socks in the challenge where I could not deny her BB & BPB.
2 Thurlby’s Justinian Christmas Rose. 9mth old pretty fawn, foreface is long but would like a bit more width to muzzle, she has very expressive eyes, lovely length of neck into well placed shoulders, longer cast but holds her topline, well set croup, nicely muscled rear, lovely length of stride but was finding the floor a bit slippy.
3 Baker’s Preveli Onassis.

J (3,1)
1 Pocock’s Tamzdane Jamaican Me Crazy. 12mth old harli, stronger headed bitch, good foreface but would like a little less lip, has good bone and straight front but would like more fill to chest, nice length of neck, shoulders ok, good spring of rib and depth of brisket, level topline, well set croup, has a lovely rear action on the move but would like more reach in front.
2 Drew’s Lindeefay Tiger Lilly. 16mth old brindle, good length of foreface, dark eyes, narrow back skull, straight well filled front, adequate length of neck, good shoulder, has depth of brisket, level topline, croup well set. Her type is much more my cup of tea, but preferred the movement of 1.

N (2,1)
1 Merwick’s Saalan Show & Go. 19mth fawn, lovely dark eye, narrow back skull, good length of foreface but would like more squaring to drop of lip, front is slightly spoiled by prominent sternum, length of neck is fine into well set shoulders, longer cast but again holding topline firm, has a lovely free action on the move, but did pace a little.

PG (5,3)
1 Wood’s Alsphuzazz Tartan Treasure. 22mth harli, good length of foreface, broad muzzle but would prefer slightly narrower back skull, dark eyes, straight front, length of neck could be just a tad longer, well set shoulders, excellent spring of rib, level topline, well set croup, good angulation, good stride on move but handler moves her just a bit too fast.
2 Merwick’s Saalan Show & Go.

L (5)
1 Price’s Leamap Blossom Hill JW. 19mth black, have admired this elegant bitch on many occasions but was just piped by the puppy in the line up, RBB, beautiful head, narrow backskull with correct length of foreface, dark eye, straight bone, good fill at front, lovely long neck into good shoulders, level topline, would prefer croup to be a little higher, good angulation, well muscled rear, moves soundly, her coat was gleaming.
2 Cropley’s Yaresville Frnkie. 20mth harli, another bitch I have admired, long foreface, narrow backskull, would prefer a tighter eye, straight well filled front, deep brisket, good shoulders, level topline, good croup, movement was sound but unfortunately she lacked her usual sparkle.

O (3,1)
1 Price & Pepper’s Leamap Black Velvet With Sarawen JW. Older sister to my limit winner, again she has a beautiful head with correct length of foreface and desired narrow backskull, dark eye, long neck, good shoulders, slightly longer cast, good angulation, movement sound but would like front to be tidier on the move.
2 Merwick’s Saalan Storm Power. 5yr fawn, for me was a litter broad in backskull, dark eye but could be tighter, straight well filled front, spring of rib, good shoulders, level topline, good croup but unfortunately paced on the move.

V (6,2) Found this class difficult to judge as I was torn between head and heart, but all 4 are a credit to their owners.
1 Laidlaw’s Kantalar Sweet and Innocent JW ShCM. Fawn coming up for 7, lovely head with dark eye, straight front with good fill, length of neck ok, good shoulders, deep brisket, has a slight rise to topline, good croup, moved soundly, well handled.
2 Smith’s Calomar Wish Upon A Star to Vavavoom. Fawn, loved her head & expression, dark eye, straight front, long neck but slightly straighter in shoulders, good depth of brisket, level topline to good croup, moved ok, at nearly 8.5yrs she gave 1st a run for her money.
