 PD (4/3) 1 Bedford’s Rugosa Mr Bounder Of Dinkidudlor 10 mo attractive typy young R. male having a pleasing clean head of good proportion and shape in. Well-made and OK in front but needs to tighten. Has a quality look and promise which is so desirable in a pup. Well-ribbed back. Good overall length, proportions and top line, nicely developed hindquarters, which I preferred to 2nd. Has a soft coat of good length. Moved out with a good free action. Best puppy in breed. 2 Dutson’s Rossdach Red Leader Typy well grown 10 mo D/R in really good coat and condition. Similar in quality to 1st. pleasing enough head, with good carriage. I liked his side profile and o/a shape with firm top line a little close behind both standing and when moving. Another very promising youngster. 3 Birdsworth’s A Doghouse Dash

JD (7) 1 Charnley’s Northnook Rafferty 17 mo B/T smart well made male who caught my eye with his good coat, condition and eye catching outline. He is so soundly made in front and had the best front of the class. Prominent fore chest, good depth and ribbing. Well-laid shoulders with pleasing tight elbows. Firm level top line and nicely let down hindquarters with the width I look for. Moved out well and true and the best mover of the class. His qualities ensured his award of Res Dog CC 2 Brown’s Rafthouse Raising Hell At Garbosa 14 mo D/B well constructed male who has a pleasing typical profile. Smart head and neck with good firm top line. Evident fore chest and good spring and length of ribbing, moderate in tuck up.

PGD (5) 1 Shutt’s Sanmik Sir Gallahad At Donnadoon nicely developed B/T rising 2 yo male who impressed with his overall length, proportions and balanced profile, which gave him the class over 2nd. I liked his head qualities, shape and expression. Good neck and body make and shape. Sound enough in front standing on good tight feet. Rear angulations to match his front angles but would prefer his hocks to be set further apart. Moved out with purpose having a good front action but tended to be close behind. 2 Kennedy’s Denkena’s Vanilla Moon mature 2? yo C/F masculine hound not in the best of coats today which affected his outline. Nicely shaped typy head with good eye shape, clear and expressive. Pleasing firm top line, good depth and o/a length of body. Sufficient width and angulations behind. Moved with a free action but needs to settle to give of his best. 3 Brook’s Lyndarlea Foxy Boy

LD (6/5) 1 Warren & Rowell’s Jadbag Continental Diplomat JW Sh CM Well coated B/T in super coat and condition. I liked his overall make and shape. Pleasing in outline with a good balanced picture, angles in the right places and firm in top line all of which caught the eye. Well made true front with good prominence of fore chest, depth, spring and ribbed well back. Moved out well especially in side gait. Tended to squat into himself which detracted at the times it mattered. 2 Oxley’s Dinkidax Donny Rova JW 2 yo B/T similar in many respects to 1st. except lighter tan markings and tended to be fond of his tail, which detracted on the move. Soundly constructed in front, good width and tightish elbows. Fore chest, depth, length of body, top line all good. Hindquarters were of good width and nicely let down. Moved with free easy action and obviously enjoying the experience. 3 Bedford’s Lyndarlea Pedro.

Super head and expression, striking body length and depth with sound top line. Perhaps would like a bit more length in neck to complete the picture.

PB (4/3) 1 Jury’s Torwood Sparks Will Fly very promising 11-mo red having quality and promise, which is so important in a pup. Typy but feminine in head and expression, nicely set neck of good length. Better-balanced profile of this class and was certainly the best mover especially in rear movement.

Nice head and ears would prefer clearer, darker eye. Well-made and well-covered body, compact with OK top line. Preferred type and profile to 3rd.

Wider in front than I prefer and would like a tad more length over the loin that would improve her side profile. Feminine typy head with desirable clean lines all through.
