Fair quarters and a sound mover. 2 Little’s Metadale Midnight Marauder. Very overweight puppy which caused him to roll on the move. Good head, neck and shoulders, good forechest and well ribbed.

Good ribbing, bone and feet. Well angulated quarters. On the move I felt he didn’t quite extend in the rear as well as the first two dogs. Well presented.

Excellent ribbing, good quarters. Moved soundly and with purpose. 3 Negus’ Shardaroba Rigel by Turramist. Very impressive dog on the stack. Good head, good neck, shoulders a little forward. Excellent forechest and ribbing. Well balanced quarters. His front action was a bit wide and uneven.
OD (9,1) Very difficult class to sort out, with some lovely dogs of varying type. 1 Metcalfe’s Ch Metadale Macquarie. Shaded red dog who was presented to perfection. Fair head, good neck running into well laid shoulders. Excellent forechest and ribbing. Strong, well angulated quarters. Was a tad narrow coming towards me on the move but in profile, his correct reach and drive fore and aft gave him the class and the CC. Well handled. 2 McFaul’s Dareams Zwagerson.

Shown in excellent condition and well handled. 2 Metcalfe’s Metadale Made in Heaven. Another bitch I judged in the past and liked. On the day a little heavier in condition than she should be, which made her look a bit laboured on the move. Very well constructed and in lovely bloom. 3 Plevin’s Witchespell Merlinella. Nicely constructed bitch of 11 years, thoroughly enjoying her day out. Moved soundly with great enthusiasm.

Good angulation in both shoulders and quarters. Excellent forechest and long ribbing. Moves with correct reach and drive, well deserved the Res CC and Best Puppy. 2 Mitchell’s Brynalyn Fancy Free. Litter sister of the first puppy but a different type. She also has a nice head, though a little stronger. Good neck and shoulders, good bone and feet. Just misses balance of quarters and needs more length in upper thigh.
SpYB (8) 1 Roberts’ Swansford Steffiedora. Very pretty b/t bitch of lovely type, if a little petite. Good head, small dark eye. Long neck running into well laid shoulders. A little short in upperarm, excellent ribbing and beautifully balanced quarters with short hocks. Moved well. 2 Cook and Rhodes’ Bournder Royal Sapphire. Looks a picture when co-operating on the stack. Nice long and feminine head, good neck and shoulders and a prominent forechest. Excellent ribbing, a bit long in hock which causes her to lose her outline on the move. 3 Halsall’s Laraine Truly Treasured. Red bitch, not in good coat on the day.

Could just do with a slightly shorter hock. Needs to settle on the move.

Well angulated quarters. Moved soundly. 2 Garlick’s Charmed Camellia at Ranglewood. Shaded red with rather a plain head, good neck and shoulder placement. A little short in upperarm, long ribbing and excellent quarters. Moved correctly in profile with good drive from the rear, just a bit wide coming towards me. 3 Cunningham and Gore’s Frankanwen High Sierra for Georgessa.
OB (9,2) 1 McFaul’s Ch Ir Ch Dachville Perfect Blend. Lovely head and eye, long neck running into correct shoulders and a prominent forechest and excellent ribbing. Well angulated quarters.

Good neck and good angulation in shoulder, ribs carried well back, neat quarters and moved with verve. 3 McNaughton’s Cedavoch Bewitched. Clear red of very elegant type. Long head, reachy neck and a good lay of shoulder. Long ribbing and well balanced quarters. Just didn’t follow through in hind movement as well as 1 and 2.
Good Citizens B (2) 1 Halsall’s Distinctive Dream for Kiddles. Was 4th
in Limit. Pretty head and eye, fair shoulders. Ribbing a little short, could do
with more length of upper thigh. Not in the best of coats. 2 Paskins’ Metadale
Moulin Rouge at Kindeace. Red bitch with a good head, neck and shoulder. Needs
more angulation in quarters. Well muscled and in good condition.
