Limit Bitch (10 Entries) Open Bitch (8 Entries) VD/B (4) 1 Ch Djeata Spring Blossom, red bitch, feminine head, good reach of neck, good lenght of ribbing, level topline, good hind angulation, sound mover if a tad heavy. 2 Eldmour Electra, lighter framed all through but has good body and good ribbing, balanced in quarters, a steady mover enjoying her day out. MPD (7) 1 Metadale Masterchef, cream dog who has a look of quality about him. Lovely head, dark eye, good prosternum, level topline, good hind angulation, such a sound, steady, consistent mover. My eyes were repeatedly drawn to him in the challange and could not deny him the RCC and BP. Thrilled to see him go BPIS. 2 Follyfield Farley's Fella, black and tan with a lovely head. Nice reach of neck, good ribbing which extended well back, balanced quarters front and rear, a little high in rear at the moment but should settle with age. PD (6) 1 Obdax Lynn's Badger at Lyndarlea, silver dapple who presents a lovely picture. Nice head and eye. Dead sound out and back. Great body, a tad short in ribbing however he was balanced in quarters and was presented in super coat condition. 2 Follyfield Farley's Fella, 2nd Minor Puppy. JD (5,0) 1 Rossdach Cream Of The Crop, a lovely cream dog of good size. Lovely outline which was kept on the move where he was free and easy. Had an excellent body and good quarters. Excellent type of dog. Has a real quality look about him. 2 Tolberg Cream Dream ShCM, a really nice cream dog who was totally balanced in all departments. He was in excellent condition but just did not perform on the day which reflected his placing today. However, he was undoubtably, a quality dog. YD (1) 1 Nagshall Wotsitalabout, one of several exhibits from this kennel of a lovely type and quality. He presents a lovely picture on the stack and has a lovely head and eye. Good length of ribbing, level topline, balanced quarters but just a little long in loin and a tad narrow when moving towards me. PG (5,1) 1 Wotsitalabout, 1st Yearling Dog. 2 Follyfield Francisco, a nice black and tan dog, masculine in head, dark eye, good ribbing, nice free and easy movement but just a tad close in front. LD (10,1) A difficult class to judge with a variety of types, it came down to personal preference and performance on the day. 1 Dinkidax Justin Credible JW, a lovely free moving dog who was presented in excellent condition. Good body, excellent ribs, balanced quarters, moved out well and pleasantly, has a bit of width and substance to him. 2 Jumanda's Renaissance, black and tan, not so disimilar to the winner, has a tad more length, good ribs, level topline and balanced quarters. Sound mover. OD (6) 1 Ralines One Of Those, a lovely cream dog of a good size with excellent pigment and a lovely head, eye and expression. Excellent ribbing, level topline and balanced quarters. Surperbly handled and presented. No doubt in my mind that he is a lovely dog and without any disrespect, completely stood away for the DCC. 2 Nagshall Oklahoma Sunrise JW, pale red dog, very nice to go over and albeit, not disimilar to the winner. A well made dog all through with all the necessary attributes, just not the fluidity of movement of the winner today. MPB (8,1) 1 Nagshall Hey Kari Ann, pale red, lovely head and eye, good front, sound out and back. Has good ribbing, level topline and balanced quarters. A very promising puppy bitch. 2 Ralines Blind Date, a cream bitch with lovely pigment and similar to the winner. Has all the attributes of the winner and is again, a very promising puppy. It was just my preference in head to the winner which gave her this place. PB (5) 1 Hey Kari Ann. 2, Metadale Leonie at Hertsmerry, nice overall but without the confidence of the winner. Pretty head, level topline, OK in quarters and ribbing. Moved OK but would improve with more confidence. JB (8) 1 Abydachs Americana, a black and cream bitch who was lovely to go over and was shown in excellent condition. A different type of head to many of the winners today but still has a femininity and a look of quality. Super body with a level topline, sound mover and was well handled. A most promising bitch who I'm sure will go on to gain her title but had to settle for the RCC today. 2 Tolberg Dazzling Daisy, another black and cream who was not disimilar to the winner but smaller all through. She had a pretty head with a good top and underline. Nice ribbing, moved soundly and was well handled. YB (3) 1 Rummerdax Harvest Moon, black and tan who was a smaller type of bitch however a super little mover. OK head, good reach of neck, good topline, well angulation fore and aft. Really excelled on the move. 2 Nagshall Loralei, again, a lovely typy red bitch from this kennel. Typical head, good eye and ribbing, level topline, sound moving bitch but just preferred the hind angulation of the winner. PGB (8,1) 1 Nagshall Just So JW, a cream bitch with a lovely head, excellent front and ribbing, level topline, well angulated rear, good sound free mover of lovely type and quality, similar to many that appealed to me on the day. 2 Ralines Kandi Kisses, a pale red who matched the winner in most departments, just preferred the length of ribbing of the first. LB (10,2) 1 Nagshall Love Actually JW, yet again, drawn to the type of this lovely cream bitch. Most typical in head, nice eye, beautiful pigment, good front, level topline, good ribbing, balanced quarters fore and aft. A real sound movers who really pushed for the top awards today. 2 Hanishan Eezzy Magic Nite at Lyndarlea, a shaded red bitch, close up to the winner due to her excellent construction and sound, free movement. Good head, eye and expression. Scored in many of the same departments of the winner however just lacked the positivity on the move as 1, nethertheless, a quality bitch. OB (8,2) 1 Dolyharp Desert Song, brindle bitch who is just so sound and lovely to go over that you are repeatedly drawn back to her. Her sound movement, excellent construction and unexaggerated confirmation throughout left me unable to deny her the CC on the day. I understand this is her first CC and I therefore wish her luck on her persuit to gain her title. 2, Dinkidudlor Isha Aurog at Eldmour, a pretty shaded red bitch of lovely type and has a look of quality about her which demanded my attention at all times. Well made throughout and a sound steady mover but was just unlucky to meet the winner on the day.
