MINIATURE WIRE HAIRED

MPD (3,1) 1 Phillips’ Molloney Andy Man. Promising pup with a good head, is strong boned and with a well developed front, neat elbows, good topline and correct coat. Moved well in front, needs to settle behind. 2 Hardy's Kushwin Gamekeeper. Lovely type with good bone and substance. Lovely head and expression. A bit slack in topline at present with not the length of ribbing of 1.

PD (5,1) 1 Presnail's Taree Nelson. Very good in outline with a super neck and topline. Good head and eye and has a lovely forechest and neat elbows, is well ribbed and has good rear angles. Moved soundly. 2 Young & Otter's Tarkus Windy Miller Portalutra. Light brindle sturdy little dog of good size and substance. Good ribbing, strong loin and well muscled behind. Moved well in profile. Preferred the head and front movement of the winner. 3 Kirkwood's Waldmeister Gordo At Helydon.

JD (5,3) 1 Thorn-Andrews Drakesleat Win Alot. Correctly constructed throughout and easily the best mover on show today being free in side gait and sound front and rear. Has a super head, well furnished, with a lovely dark eye, a neck of good length blending smoothly into well laid shoulders and a corresponding length of upper arm which set his elbows correctly. Good strong topline and powerful rear. CC & BOB 2 Young's Tarkus Harvest Gold Light red dog of a finer make and shape who carries a good harsh coat. His reluctance to show didn't help his movement which was untidy both front and rear today.

PGD (5) 1 Young & Otter's Nordach Mr Muffin Of Tarkus. Young red dog of good type and size. Has a pleasing head and eye, good front with strong bone and good feet. Well ribbed and strong in topline. Rear was full of muscle and he moved well. 2 Young's Barney Rubble Of Tarkus. Liked his type and quality head. More mature than 3 and with a good coat, topline and movement. Feet could be tighter. 3. Hill & Niall's Drakesleat Brass Doff.

LD (6) 1 Kugow & Holt's Waldmeister Henry Very good for size and proportions and carries himself proudly while moving with great freedom and drive. Has a lovely head, good forechest, depth of brisket and firm topline but could be better in underline. In super coat and condition. 2 Poxon's Kapodach Chip and Pin JW. Has a good outline and balanced construction. Good head and expression, well ribbed back and strong loin, good rear. Moved with good drive behind. 3. Thorn-Andrews Drakesleat Rolling Stone.

OD (3,1) 1 Horswell & Iwama's Ch & Jap Ch Drakesleat JP Trier Winshoten (Imp) RCC. In his prime and such good breed type. Loved his head, neck and well laid shoulders. Has very good ribbing and a strong topline. Carries a good harsh coat and moved soundly out and back, just preferred the freedom in side gait of the OD. I see from my catalogue he sired quite a few of my winners today including the BOB so he is obviously passing on his good qualities to his progeny. 2 Kugow & Holt's Waldmeister Jackson. Another very nice dog from this kennel making the most of himself. He moved very well and was presented in excellent coat and condition. Preferred the winner in front construction and ribbing.

SpVD/B (1) 1 Douglas & Banks Torabbi Welsh Malt ShCM Very smart little dog moving freely with good drive behind. In good coat and holding his topline well. Obviously still enjoying his showing.

MPB (9,3) 1 Dunn's Barratini Bumble at Ashridge. Dark brindle puppy with a lovely head, well proportioned body and good bone for her size. She is well ribbed and has a strong loin and well muscled rear. Very sound on the move for one so young. 2 Russell's Russteck Perchance to Dream I also really liked this one and it was a close decision between the two. She is very feminine and has a lovely neck and shoulder line, good length of back, true front and well angulated rear. Moved very well in profile just needs to firm a little behind otherwise very promising. 3. Mobley's Samlane What Else of Jakema.

PB (12,3) The first 3 all very nice 1 Kugow & Holt's Waldmeister Steffi. I just loved her. Thought she stood away in this class. Very feminine but strongly built with a super outline and very good bone and feet. Good ribbing, depth of chest and strong muscled rear. In good coat and gleaming condition. Very sound moving out and back and in profile showed plenty rear drive. BPIB 2. Adoo's Reulemill Freya Fraywood Dark brindle, not doing herself justice but who was good to go over. Has a lovely head and neck, good forechest, front and feet. Was well bodied with good ribs and an excellent rear full of muscle.Moved well. 3 Barney's Verrami Ava Nuvver Romaunt.

JB (13,3) 1 Haywards Foxearth Fee'ling. Free moving feminine dark brindle bitch of quality. Liked her head, dark eye, good neck and topline. Has a good forechest and good bone for her size. Held her topline well while gaiting. 2 Hooper's Starhill Lady of the Lake Also a very nice youngster who moved well in profile but needs to steady in front. Well angulated front and rear. 3. Russell's Russteck Thistledown.

SBB (3,1) 1 Sutton's Tarkus Daydreamer Nice for type and with an excellent coat and moving quite well. 2 Chugg's Templestone Ophelia A smaller and finer made bitch who could be better angulated and not moving as well as the winner.

PGB (8,3) 1 Hardy's Kushwin Firefly. Well proportioned bitch of good construction with a good forechest and ribbing. Sound mover and has a nice harsh coat. 2 Johnston-White's Malloney Connie Feshions Mit Gioia.

Preferred the winner in rear and showmanship today. 3 Poxon's Kapodach Sukiyaki.

OB (6,1) 1 Blackburn's Stargang Beau Belle. Beautiful young bitch so good in outline with proud head carriage and strong driving movement. Very good head, super neck, well developed forechest and neat elbows. Good ribbing and well angulated quarters. She was true front and rear and covered the ground with ease going round. Presented in very good coat and condition. CC 2 Thorn-Andrews Drakesleat Miss Suebishy Yet another lovely one from this kennel. Well shaped head, super neck set correctly into her shoulders, strong topline and well muscled rear. Carries a good wire coat and moved soundly but was not making the most of herself in this class. Pulled herself together in the challenge and earned the Res CC 3 Fulton's Bothlyn Black Rose.
