The breed seems to be going through a difficult period with varying quality & type making consistent judging difficult. With the nucleus of dedicated fanciers within the breed, I feel sure that better times are ahead for this lovely breed.

MPD (1)

1 Smith’s Thunderclap Macadam, w/t headed dog, smart & upstanding, well constructed, up to size, in good fettle, strong head with good properties, excellent shoulder, topline, ribbing & set-on, moved & showed soundly.

PD (1)

1 Clifford’s Migley Jack The Lad, very unruly & erratic, OK in head, ears need to settle. Good front & topline, shelly in body which makes him look rangy, decent set-on, sound.

PGD (2)

1 Falkous’ Shillelagh San Diego of Falkmere, t/w, smart looking with better overall balance than 2, strong head with good properties, excellent shoulder, straight front though a little wide, short back with excellent set-on, in good form with excellent muscletone, moved & showed;

2 Darby & Marston’s Chipstead Gulliver of Classicway, decent head, not the shoulder of 1. Good ribbing, quarters & set-on, sound though front toed in slightly & turned left hind.

LD (3,1a) Two very decent sorts. 1 Thornton & Bebbington’s Glendraterra Rising Sun, gave his grandfather the group in ’05 & two weeks after this show gave a Rascal Fair daughter BOB at the SFT Specialty in Sweden. Same type with lovely balanced head, neat ear, good eye, bite & teeth, excellent front & forehand, good ribbing, short with excellent set-on, well defined quarters, in good fettle. A bit full of himself during the class but did enough & then settled well thereafter. CC & BOB;

2 Laws’ Sufredon Bandleade, close up & a good sort, strong head, good eye, bite & teeth, heavier in ear, short with excellent ribbing, topline & set-on, turned slightly both fore & aft but sound & showy.
