Thanks also to my stewards Brian Attwood & Anne Speake who did a sterling job keeping the good sized, well appointed ring running smoothly throughout the day. Thanks also to the exhibitors for allowing me to go over some very high quality dogs. Generally the standard was good with the majority of exhibits showing & moving well. I was concerned by the number of short rounded ribs I found, especially in the bitch classes. There were several noses lacking pigment, some very long thin tails, & I found a few broken or out of line teeth. Coats were at various stages & some otherwise good dogs had to be penalised for lack of coat in the stronger classes. Whereas others with little coat made it into the line-up on overall quality. I was very pleased with my main winners, & thank the exhibitors for accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. MPD (6) 1 North’s Bandicoot Jimmy Choo at Northborders, an 8 month old grizzle with masculine head, short strong muzzle, dark eye, broad skull, good reach of neck into well laid shoulders, straight front, good bone & tight feet. Good length of rib with level topline with good tailset. Super coat & pelt, moved & showed well.

PD (4) 1 Clark’s Gameway McVitie, a 9 month old grizzle dog with masculine head & expression, dark eye, small neat ears & good length of neck. Good shoulders, well ribbed back, good turn of stifle with level topline & good tailset, narrow throughout. Presented in good coat & condition, & moving well around the ring; 2 Keeffe’s Keebank Charlie’s Diamond, 11 month old red with broad skull, keen expression, good neck & shoulder, level topline & tailset. Not as narrow as my winner but in excellent harsh jacket & moving well on small neat feet; 3 Edwards’ Hollowoakend Little Wojtek. JD (8) 1 Armstrong’s Ploughdown Plato, 12 month old blue dog with good head, big teeth, strong muzzle & dark eye. Straight front, good feet, excellent rib, good rear angulation & short thick tail. Presented in excellent condition & moving well in all directions. Up to size for me, but a super quality dog; 2 Duxbury’s Ridgebow Rifleman, another 12 month old grizzle dog, slightly smaller than 1 with broad skull, dark eye, strong muzzle & small neat ears. Good shoulder placement & length of rib, in good coat & moving well, just not quite the outline of my winner; 3 Hollingsbee’s Otterwood Caius. PGD (7,2a) 1 Brewster’s Breckgreen Soldier Blue, a masculine blue dog with good head & expression, nice reach of neck into good shoulders, ribs carried well back, good rear angulation, level topline & correct tailset, well presented in good coat with thick pelt, moved well both ways; 2 Fulker’s Foxpaw Pipps Cross, a red dog with masculine head & expression, small neat ears & dark eye, smaller & shorter coupled than 1, narrow throughout with good angulation, moved well & shown in full coat; 3 Jackson’s Clipstone Starshine.

Moved straight with good drive. Good coat & pelt, shown in top condition & beautifully handled to take the DCC; 2 Johnson’s Kosmic Sun over Karison a grizzle dog of nice size with masculine head, good teeth, dark eye & small well set ears, good reach of neck into a well laid shoulder, good rib, topline & tailset, moved well with drive.
