What a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day. Exhibitors/owners and spectators from all over the world, it was truly unbelievable. Thank you to my stewards, Martin and Jean, who carried out an amazing task all day with no problems highlighted to me, the only problem was they only agreed for me to go to the toilet once! Exhibits now. Quality was in abundance from exhibits all over the world. Toplines, movement, underjaws and pigment were outstanding throughout. A massive well done to you all for working at, and achieving this in our breed, in abundance. My winners obviously were outstanding, but even unplaced exhibits were well worthy of awards at all levels, that's the only thing about Crufts when winning and qualified dogs are not placed. Thank you all once again for the entry and turnout, Wow! VB (15, 2) 1 Hirst & Bibby's Ch Taraiel Ciara JW ShCM. A well deserved Champion who I awarded the CC to a few years ago. Beautiful head and expression at all times, highlighted by her alertness. Her coat is absolutely gleaming. She has the neatest of ears along with a perfect bite. Excellent black brindle colouring which is highlighted with perfect pigmentation. Strong correctly boned forequarters with depth of brisket blending in correctly, well sprung ribcage and level topline which then leads on to her well-muscled hindquarters, then she moves maintaining her topline and tail carriage. 2 Askers' Jajca's Pure Gold.

Her topline, forequarters and hindquarters also blend in very well at such a young age. She stood four square at all times highlighting her virtues constantly. Another with correct tail carriage. Perfect bite with excellent pigmentation to add to her list of required plus points. Another we will all see in the future gaining further awards. 2 Wilson's Northstaff Cupcake. Again black brindle, who is slightly stronger than first. She has an amazing head shape again with correct bite and an excellent expression at all times, she also possesses the dark eye requirement and neat ear carriage at all times highlighting the fact.

Level topline, well sprung rib for her age which also leads to her correctly well angulated and well-muscled hindquarters, then her tail carriage was also added to the plus list when she moved freely throughout the given route highlighting her overall make up correctly.

Black brindle again with a cracking head shape and excellent look at me expression, correct bite, terrific underjaw and neatest of ears.

Brindle and white who again highlights all the standard requirements easily with her natural stance. Superb headshape, correct bite, correct depth of underjaw blending in really well with her pronounced cheek muscles, her ears are on the alert constantly which again supplies the expression requirement. Well boned forequarters with white below each knee level, really highlights again on the move and stance. Excellent topline, correctly pronounced ribcage and well muscled and correctly angulated hindquarters, which all give a rear view further attributes. Then we asked for movement which was excellent in stages, sufficient for choosing the final class position. 2 McDermott's Kings And Queens Over The Moon (Imp Swe). Another excellent specimen of the breed. Black brindle with again an amazing headshape and pigment, cheek muscles, underjaw, correct bite all tying in with her 'who are you looking at expression'! Her bone structure is superb, correct fore and rear quarters, well developed ribcage with a correct topline. Her tail carriage is also correct, this was also shown on the move. She is maturing very nicely now and this year will prove me correct. 3 Jackson's Jackabyte Miss Moneypenny.

Excellent expression, alert at all times, correct bite with strength in underjaw and well pronounced cheek muscles to give her the standard requirement.

Dark brindle. Another with the full amount of standard requirements, which include her beautiful head shape and correct bite, neatest of ear carriage with an excellent expression.

More athletic than the first two in this class, but her movement and soundness gained her this placing. PGB (23, 4) 1 Ford & Williams' Dajast Sweety With Jam'n Loz JW. I must admit I watched her entering the ring and she took my eye, I was not disappointed when going through the judging procedure. Very dark brindle which is highlighted in the bright light system. She possesses a beautiful feminine head shape which is filled with the underjaw, cheek muscles and correct bite, fantastic expression given at all times, darkest of eyes and neatest of ears. She then offered me to look at her correctly well boned forequarters with the depth of brisket to add to the standard requirement inspection. She has neat feet with excellent pigmentation. She is also stood correctly without the common pinning in of forequarters. Her spring of rib and level topline were further plus points. Her hindquarters are correctly muscled and angulated and her tail looked really well when stood and moving. I viewed from all angles and she basically stood like a rock for me to take everything in, then we moved and a smile on my face appeared, she moved really well and moved better in the challenge. A massive well done to the handler who DID highlight everything a judge should be using to gain the correct placing, this is the reason I awarded her the RCC. The very best of luck this year to all involved. 2 Fry's Kimstaff's Lady Shivva. Black brindle and white. Another cracking bitch who again has a mass of virtues. Headshape is excellent with a wicked expression enhanced by her well pronounced cheek muscles and strength in underjaw, her ear carriage is spot on. Then the forequarters and brisket where inspected and passed! Her spring of rib and level topline along with her good movement gained her the placing in yet another strong class. 3 Rodriguez-Vigil's Earthquake Staffs High Hopes (USA). Red with evenly marked white areas to highlight her even more. Excellent headshape with the required feminine expression, correct bite, perfect ears and a totally wicked expression at all times. Correct well boned forequarters and her brisket is perfect, well sprung ribcage with an excellent topline stood and on the move. Correctly angulated hindquarters which enabled her to move really well. MLB (17, 5) 1 Robinson's Studstaff Sugar And Spice Of Hamason JW ShCM. Red with plenty of white. She entered the ring as if to say 'what am I doing here'. When viewing her I noticed the correctness in her overall make up, her head is feminine with the required strength, her bite is perfect, her pigment and eye colour blend in very well, strong underjaw with well pronounced cheek muscles and correct ear carriage all fell into place. Correct well boned forequarters with the correct depth of brisket. Correctly sprung ribcage with a level topline and strong well angulated hindquarters. Now she was getting a little bored. I asked her to move which highlighted everything coming together with a bit of a spark included, that won her the class. 2 Goddard's Elitebull Destiny Of Goddstaff. Black brindle of quality make and shape. Very alert at all times producing an excellent expression. Correct bite, strength in underjaw, well pronounced cheek muscles, excellent pigmentation throughout, neat ear carriage with a cracking expression to tie in correctly. Straight well boned forequarters and correctly angulated hindquarters, again a level topline and well developed ribcage.

Black brindle who just falls into the top size section, but again her virtues and standard requirements gained her this placing. Excellent headshape with correct bite, depth of underjaw and strength of muzzle all tied in with her wicked expression, ear carriage topped it all. Well boned rear and forequarters and also a level topline. Another in excellent condition. LB (17, 3) 1 McKimm's Biggleswick Fifty JW.

Correct bite, well developed cheek muscles, strength in the underjaw which ties in with her cleanliness around the muzzle, excellent pigmentation, darkest of eyes including the outer coverage and the little white snip in between highlights everything, including the perfect ear carriage she constantly provided. Well boned forequarters and correct depth of brisket. Then to her topline and ribcage which again ties in with her well and correctly angulated hindquarters, her tail carriage she arrived with is ok then raised it when excited which is acceptable. I moved her down a different route and she lowered accordingly, that won her this extremely strong class today. 2 Hawkes' Jefmor Winter Solstice For Druidhawk JW. Dark brindle. Another quality exhibit who has always taken my eye, usually for her misbehaviour. I feel sorry for her handler, she is hard work but what she can't hide is all her virtues. Beautiful strong feminine headshape, which holds a correct bite, excellent wicked expression, neat ear carriage, excellent underjaw and cheek muscles. She is so well put together standing foursquare constantly, her neat and well boned forequarters, tight well-padded feet, correct depth of brisket which all lead on to her correct shoulder placement and well sprung rib with matching level topline. To finish her off we also have correctly angulated hindquarters and neat tail carriage. She can be a bit erratic moving but I slowed her down and then she showed me what I knew she could provide. Well done, one of my favourites. 3 Lockey's Tusselstaff One Caress. Black brindle with white. Another quality exhibit who I must admit is so relaxed. Again excellent headshape which holds a correct bite, pigmentation, strength in underjaw and muzzle with neat ear carriage. This leads to her well boned forequarters and correct depth of brisket, well sprung ribcage with a very good topline, well angulated hindquarters and neat tail carriage. She moved quite well to gain her placing in this high level class. OB (33, 7) Well what a class, this took some working out with the high percentage of quality throughout this entry. I actually took notes on each exhibit after my first brief walk round and after each individual inspection took place - it worked! 1 Saunt's Ch Crudha Nordic Star (Imp Swe). Dark brindle who constantly highlighted herself throughout the class demanding my attention. Her excellent feminine headshape with correct depth of underjaw and width of muzzle blend in with well pronounced cheek muscles. Her dark eyes and pigmentation also stood out, neat ears constantly used with her nosiness throughout the class, excellent bite, all gathered together with her fantastic 'look at me' expression. This all blended in with her forequarters which are well boned and highlight her correct depth of brisket, well sprung ribcage and well-muscled hindquarters at the correct angulation, her topline was spot on even when relaxed, viewed from behind the overall shape was perfect, then her tail carriage gave the total blend required. Then she was asked to move, wow she just glided happily up and down the ring with the odd look of 'is that good enough now judge'. She moved with the parallel stride required and did it with complete ease, that's what won her this extremely strong class and in the challenge she reminded me again. Handled with patience and ease. This is why she was awarded the CC and on the referee's decision BOB. Thank you girl for making my day. 2 Winwood & Tunnah's Ch Nerotoro Stella JW. Another cracking bitch from this kennel. Again superb headshape with correct bite, well pronounced cheek muscles and strength in the underjaw, again excellent pigmentation, neat and used ear carriage constantly highlighting another 'look at me judge' expression.

Excellent pigmentation, dark eyes and neat ear carriage which she used on me when final places were being chosen! Excellent forequarters and depth of brisket, correctly sprung ribcage, correct hindquarters which held her neat tail carriage constantly. Moved well to gain this placing in such a strong class. GCB (7) Well this was, I thought, going to be a class we just get on with, then they entered the ring and wow, the quality was amazing. One thing I have never come across before was every exhibit held their topline really well in the class. 1 Thomson's Starolestaff Lady Bea With Siriustaff JW. Dark brindle who carries her excellent headshape with correct pigment, correct bite and neat ears, well pronounced cheek muscles and correct depth of underjaw, very clean headed. She stood four square at all times naturally. Well boned forequarters and neatest of feet, her ribcage blended in really well and then her correct well muscled rear angulation gained the points required. She took my eye for her overall stance and demanded attention at all times. She would have been involved in the Open class, that's how good she is. 2 Rowe & South's Illori Believe In Me JW. Black brindle and another cracking bitch who carried an excellent expression at all times throughout the class demanding attention. Again excellent feminine head shape with strength throughout, correct bite and neatest of ear carriage.

To finish her off we also have correctly angulated hindquarters and neat tail carriage. She can be a bit erratic moving but I slowed her down and then she showed me what I knew she could provide. Well done, one of my favourites.

3 Lockey's Tusselstaff One Caress. Black brindle with white. Another quality exhibit who I must admit is so relaxed. Again excellent headshape which holds a correct bite, pigmentation, strength in underjaw and muzzle with neat ear carriage. This leads to her well boned forequarters and correct depth of brisket, well sprung ribcage with a very good topline, well angulated hindquarters and neat tail carriage. She moved quite well to gain her placing in this high level class.

Well what a class, this took some working out with the high percentage of quality throughout this entry. I actually took notes on each exhibit after my first brief walk round and after each individual inspection took place - it worked!

1 Saunt's Ch Crudha Nordic Star (Imp Swe). Dark brindle who constantly highlighted herself throughout the class demanding my attention. Her excellent feminine headshape with correct depth of underjaw and width of muzzle blend in with well pronounced cheek muscles. Her dark eyes and pigmentation also stood out, neat ears constantly used with her nosiness throughout the class, excellent bite, all gathered together with her fantastic 'look at me' expression. This all blended in with her forequarters which are well boned and highlight her correct depth of brisket, well sprung ribcage and well-muscled hindquarters at the correct angulation, her topline was spot on even when relaxed, viewed from behind the overall shape was perfect, then her tail carriage gave the total blend required. Then she was asked to move, wow she just glided happily up and down the ring with the odd look of 'is that good enough now judge'. She moved with the parallel stride required and did it with complete ease, that's what won her this extremely strong class and in the challenge she reminded me again. Handled with patience and ease. This is why she was awarded the CC and on the referee's decision BOB. Thank you girl for making my day.

2 Winwood & Tunnah's Ch Nerotoro Stella JW. Another cracking bitch from this kennel. Again superb headshape with correct bite, well pronounced cheek muscles and strength in the underjaw, again excellent pigmentation, neat and used ear carriage constantly highlighting another 'look at me judge' expression. Excellent well boned forequarters tying in with her perfect depth of brisket, again level topline and well sprung ribcage with well muscled hindquarters which give you the perfect view from behind. She also moves quite well whilst looking around the full ring on her journey. Well done and well deserved Champion title.

3 Wilson's Bullhawk Jessie Jay At Northstaff. Black brindle with white markings on each foot. Another cracking bitch who seemed to give that 'I'm tired look' at times, ha-ha. Another excellent feminine head shape with muzzle, correct bite, underjaw and cheek muscles blending in really well. Excellent pigmentation, dark eyes and neat ear carriage which she used on me when final places were being chosen! Excellent forequarters and depth of brisket, correctly sprung ribcage, correct hindquarters which held her neat tail carriage constantly. Moved well to gain this placing in such a strong class.

Well this was, I thought, going to be a class we just get on with, then they entered the ring and wow, the quality was amazing. One thing I have never come across before was every exhibit held their topline really well in the class.

1 Thomson's Starolestaff Lady Bea With Siriustaff JW. Dark brindle who carries her excellent headshape with correct pigment, correct bite and neat ears, well pronounced cheek muscles and correct depth of underjaw, very clean headed. She stood four square at all times naturally. Well boned forequarters and neatest of feet, her ribcage blended in really well and then her correct well muscled rear angulation gained the points required. She took my eye for her overall stance and demanded attention at all times. She would have been involved in the Open class, that's how good she is.

2 Rowe & South's Illori Believe In Me JW. Black brindle and another cracking bitch who carried an excellent expression at all times throughout the class demanding attention. Again excellent feminine head shape with strength throughout, correct bite and neatest of ear carriage. Excellent fore and rear quarters, well sprung ribcage and another who stands foursquare at all times. Another quality bitch in this class.

3 Daly & Lees' Starolestaff Arabella At Boscador. Yet another oozing with quality. Black brindle whose coat gleamed. Excellent head shape, correct bite, well muscled cheeks tying in with her underjaw. Excellent forequarters and rear, very well pigmented throughout, well sprung rib and very good topline.
