I thought that the overall quality was pretty good with coats in the main OK. Hindquarters were generally better than fronts but I thought that heads were in the main good overall. I thought that a number of exhibits could have been rather more compact. I noticed quite a few dogs with tails stripped out rather too much which does not give a typical appearance. VD (2) 1 Green’s Ch Wharfvalley Diamond Star, a shorter made dog than 2, good in topline, good head with the correct breadth of skull. Good eye. Well sprung in rib. Good coat. Moved well behind. It was his general outline that took him to no 1 here. 2. Simpson’s, Umbrage Longton Cum Megalex slightly better in front than 1. Good neck & OK in coat. Not quite the compactness of the winner. A pity she stalled at one point when moving. PD (2) 1 Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Slipknot, a much smaller dog than 2 very pleasing in head & expression, enough bone for his age good harsh coat for age too, & correct level topline. Could move with a shade more drive behind but accurate movement all round. Good compact shape. BP; 2 Hurrion’s Villassa Jack Daniels, plenty of size for his age. Good in skull but ears need to settle. Good in hindquarters but needs to finish with a shorter look when fully mature. Good coat & correct spring of rib. JD (4) 1 Horne’s Marchdens Mark My Words, a very good dog of an excellent & typical shape & proportions, Good broad skull with good eye & correct well carried ears. Very good shoulder & front. Good round feet. Moved with slightly more drive behind than 2. Excellent coat & body & really good in topline, with well set on tail. Finished up winning the RCC; 2 Stevenson’s Brickin Pot Of Pickle, another pleasing young dog with not quite as good a coat as 1 right now. He too was good in skull with correct ears, moved well in front & OK behind. Enough spring of rib & correct in loin; 3 Jellings & Bakewell’s Jaeva Look ‘N Look Again at Norwelston Lynjel, very much a baby compared to the two above & just coming into coat but promising & good in skull but needs time to develop in muzzle. Good typical outline & correct body for age. Well set on tail & moved well behind. PGD (3) Two close up exhibits in the first two here. 1 Hamar’s Gordons Boy, slightly smaller than 2 & I thought went slightly better in front than he did. Good skull to muzzle proportions & enough stop. Correct level topline & good round feet; 2 Darnell’s Jacquidon Tough as A Nut, a strongly made dog with good body & correct rib. Correct skull & muzzle. Good bone & typical outline. Shown in good coat but not quite the front of 1; 3 Brown’s Dajean Dotty’s Digger, OK in skull but not shown in great coat today & tail not so good. He could move more positively in front but had good temperament & seemed to enjoy himself. LD (2,1) 1 Atkinson’s Charlie Blake at Moortop, stood alone but a very pleasing dog shown with just the right amount of coat of good texture. Excellent tailset & carriage. Very good head & expression. Good ears not too big & OK in eye. Moved better behind but his enthusiasm at times didn’t help his front movement. Enough neck & had much type.

Typical in head & expression with enough stop. Pleasing n muzzle. Eye could be darker. Correct proportions. Enough neck without being overdone there. Good shoulder & correct round feet.

Good eye shape & colour, good foreface. Excellent harsh coat & had enough bone. Plenty of angulation behind, but could be more positive in hind movement. Good in rib & OK on underline. GCD (1) 1 Brown’s Dajean Dotty’s Digger. VB (2) 1 Morozova’s Allright Lday Brown, a bit lacking in coat today especially on her tail but OK in foreface & muzzle. Ears carried a bit high but good for overall shape with good short back. Enough neck & very good balance & correct for bone & feet. Showed well; 2 Hurrion’s Ch Valentines Cherry Crumble, not in good coat either & needs more tail coat. OK in skull but not quite the shape of the winner & could have just a shade more neck. Better in ear carriage than 1 but not quite so good in feet. Moved well behind but rather longer cast than 1. PB (5,1) 1 Gee’s Watercroft Suzie’q, very good head & expression with the right skull to muzzle proportions, Good eye & enough neck without being overdone there. Good level topline & correct in shoulder. Moved better than 1 in front & better there than behind. Plenty of hind angulation & correct feet; 2 Smith’s Javidel Darling Buds of May, needs time to finish in head but good in ears. Very good compact body with correct level topline & therefore a good typical outline. Good feet & correct coat for her age; 3 Hurrion’s Villassa County Belle, a pleasing youngster but could be a shade more compact in body. When fully coated this should make her look more compactly proportioned. Excellent tailset & carriage. Good neck & moved out well. JB (6,2) 1 Gullick & Tate’s Jaeva Keen As Mustard, not a big bitch & quite young compared to the others here. Very good in neck, topline & tailset. Moved out pretty well in front & behind. Enough bone. Good hindquarters with enough bend of stifle & yet OK in hocks. Shown in better coat than 2. Enough body for age. Pleasing overall outline; 2 Macartney’s Ivrig First Bit Of Joy, not moving quite so well in front as 1, but good in skull & OK in topline. Could be better in tail carriage but well muscled behind. Correct spring of rib & good round feet; 3 Glynn’s Kenberlynn Angels Wings, needs time to develop in head, & coat not at its best today. Plenty of body substance & well muscled in hindquarters. Good feet but needs to concentrate a bit more when moving up & down to show herself off to best advantage. PGB (11,5) 1 Thompson-Morgan’s Belleville Ovation, a pleasing bitch with good proportions & pleasing topline & tailset which presented a very typical outline. Good head & shown in good coat. Moved & showed well both here & in the challenge; 2 Darnell’s Jacquidon No Hesitation, good head & expression with correct proportions of skull to muzzle. Correct for spring of rib & OK feet; 3 Hurrion’s Villassa Too Choosi, would like to see just a shade more compactness but OK in head & expression. Good rib & loin & moved OK behind. LB (10,4) Quite a few different types in this class. 1. Thompson-Morgan’s Allright Black Bess, the best here for outline & shape. Not by any means big. Very pleasing in make & shape & so has typical balance. She moved well in front & behind. She was good in head, expression & eye but could be better in ear coat. Scored for overall shape & compactness; 2 Gee’s Watercroft Saffron, rather bigger type. Very sound indeed with excellent movement in front & behind. She has a good rib & correct level topline; 3 Hurrion’s Villassa Cherry Tart, not quite the coat of the other two today & not as compact as 1. Good in head with correct breadth of skull & typical ears well carried. Good eye & correct muzzle. Good bone & correct round feet. Could do better when in better coat. OB (5,1) A good class with two bitches of real quality at its head. 1 Jenkins’ Ch Kinsridge Top Tip, a very typy bitch. Really good in neck & topline & OK for size. She is well balanced in proportions with good compact appearance & correct level topline, She scored in head & strength of muzzle & moved well in front & behind. Good coat at its best & well bent stifles without being overdone there. When not concentrating can at times stand untidily in front & doesn’t always use her ears well but overall she has great type, quality & movement & went on to take the CC & BOB; 2 Phillips’ Ch Blakens Tootie Fruitie, another one with an excellent coat & really typical shape & outline. Very good in head & ears. Could maybe be said to have scored in eye over 1 but not in dentition. Good in front & strode out well. I had no hesitation in awarding her the RCC; 3 Gee’s Watercroft Pick Of The Pops, another pleasing bitch with a good body, plenty of spring of rib. Not quite the expression of 1 & 2 but scored in movement over some others in this class in front & behind. Tail could be better carried. GCB (2,1) 1 Macartney’s Nordalset Little Bit Of Sun for Ivrig, very pleasing bitch in good coat. Moved pretty well behind & OK in front. Good tailset. Plenty of muscle. Good round feet. Good eye & enough breadth of skull. Could have a shade more neck to complete the picture. RONNIE IRVING Go To Top Of Page
