PGD (1) 1 Corner, Carcorn Fabulous Frank. 2 1/2 yr old and slightly overweight on the day. Well shaped head with large eye. Lacking in forechest and prefer better front. Good top line. Poor in the hind quarters. Like better coat being soft in places and lacking the wiry coat. Good on the move.

LD (2) 1/Res DCC. Blackburn, Stargang Plutonium. 14 mths old and lovely in outline. Pleasing in head and ear placement. Good eye shape. Correct front and feet. Solid top line and depth of brisket. Good on the move. 2 Kirkwood, Beetlejuice Vitoraz At Helydon (Cze Imp) 2 yr old and much larger than winner. Good head and expression. Correct front and feet. Prefer better top line and tail carried better on the move. Like better in hind quarters good in front.

OD (2) 1 & DCC. Thorn-Andrews, Ch Drakesleat Ivor Notion. 4 yr old and dark in colour. Good head and fore face. Correct fore chest, front and feet. Excellent. Top line and hind quarters. Pleasing on the move. I understand this was his seventh ticket. 2 Kirkwood-Emery & Kirkwood-Emery, Ch Helydon Laird Loki JW. 6 yr old with excellent head and neck. Correct front. Just falling away to the rear and would like stronger in hind quarters. Pleasing on the move.

PB (2) 1, BP. Blackburn, Stargang Fanfare. 8 months with lovely shaped head and ear placement. Excellent fore chest and good feet for a youngster. Good top line and at this stage she is ever so slightly weak in her hind quarters. Good spring of rib and pleasing on the move. 2 Kirkwood-Emery, Helydon Tartan Talula. 6 month and with plenty of potential for the future. Excellent head, neck, front and top line. Just needs to develop and strengthen in hind quarters. Lovely on the stand and moving.

JB (2) 1 Whitehouse, Gralinn Sunshine Dancer. Good standing and moving. Pleasing head, neck and shoulders. Good front and feet. Excellent hard jacket and pleasing on the move. 2 Woodvine-Shone, Hanishan Ringing Tones. Noticeable shorter in body than the winner and looking out of balance. Pleasing head and expression. Good front, feet and depth of brisket. Good top line. Prefer stronger in hind quarters.

PGB (4) A difficult class to judge with too many types. 1 Kirkwood, Helydon Quickstep Queeni. Excellent and the stand with good head and expression. Correct front, bone and top line. Good depth of brisket and good rib cage. Pleasing on the move. 2 Stephenson, Bothlyn Sweet Missy at Wistex. She was good on the move but a nightmare to go over as she wouldn’t stand still. Prefer better shaped head but with good ear set. Correct front and top line when moving. Prefer better jacket. 3 Corner, Carcorn Violet Valentine.

LB (1) 1 Stephenson, Wistex taking it easy. 2 yr old and lovely when standing still. Pleasing head with exquisite eyebrows. Well shaped, correct front and feet. Good depth and spring of ribs. Pleasing on the move.

OB (6,2) 1 BCC & BOB. Thorn-Andrews, Ch Drakesleat Too Gud to be True. A real credit to her breed. This beautiful bitch today winning her 48th ticket and it pleases me to say I loved her. Well constructed. Best of heads with the correct length of neck, good front and excellent fore chest. Best of top lines and strong hind quarters, good on the move. If anything would have liked a slightly harder jacket on the day. 2/Res BCC. Kirkwood-Emery, Helydon Nifty Nairn JW. Good size and shape with pleasing head. Would like slightly more fore chest. Good shoulders and top line. Correct depth of brisket and correct hind quarters. Pleasing on the move. 3 Whitehouse, Ir Ch Baltiyskiy Talisman T’Cesaria.
