VD (2) 1 Trixhund Opium JW ShCM ShCEx (Lewis) Stylish mover
with presence around the ring. Went on to BVIB then won the hound veteran
group. Correct footfall both ways. In super coat and condition for age. Good
conical masculine head with correct expression.clean forehand, well ribbed
back in to strong loin and well made rear. BV and RCC 2 Rossann Bonnie Blue
(Hughes) In good condition, but didn’t have the drive from his back end on
the move, not quite as well made behind. Good bone and feet, good spring of
rib and kept his top line on the move, which was a little lack lustre.
Pleasing masculine head and expression. MPD (1) 1 Trixhund One King (Lewis)
Head needs to break very immature at this stage. A well made front supported
with good bone and well made feet. Like a little more return of upper arm.
Good spring of rib and well back into a good loin kept his top line well and
as his confidence grow he started to move with some style and purpose
keeping his tail carriage under control. PD (3) 1 Trixhund Ten from Len
(Lewis) BP. Little brother to MP and again moved with a positive attitude.
Well ribbed back with correct spring, strong arched loin with a correct top
line. Good bone and feet. Moved out well, in super coat and condition for
his age and well presented by the handler. 2 Ratterdachs under Pressure
(Causer) Nice masculine head and expression with a good eye and correctly
set ear. Good spring of rib and well back. Kept his top line in profile. His
front movement was a little tied and I would have liked to have seen some
more re drive away on the move. 3 Kindeace Light My Fire (Doyle) JD (3) 1
Ratterdachs under Pressure (Causer) 2 Breezelyn Love You Long Time (Pike &
Carter) A well made rear with correct bend of stifle. Plenty of bone and
shown in good coat and condition. A little long and low for my liking and
could be ribbed further back and less loin. Got a distracted on the move. YD
(1) 1 Sundayshill Theodore at Borzdac (Fricker)
Good conical head with a lovely kind eye and expression,
correctly set ear. A good spring of rib and one with a pro-sternum. Good
strong loin. Correct bone and feet. Good movement fore and aft, just tended
to loss his top line in profile. GD (1) 1 Breezelyn Long Way to Go to
Loggeta (Cross) Shoen in super coat and condition and super rich red colour.
Masculine head and expression well set ear. Good bone and feet.like slightly
better body height to length proportions. Good front movement. OD (3) 1 Ch
Abydachs Return of The Night (Geeson) Two differing types in this class,
just preferred his proportions to 2nd today. A masculine conical head with
kind expression, a prosternum. With good bone and correct feet. Flowing
through from neck into a level top line. Which he kept in profile movement.
Well sprung rib and well back and substance through his body. Well presented
and coat and condition were good. CC and BOB 2 Ch Swansford Prestonador
(Roberts) A masculine dog all through, showed himself well with a bit of
attitude. Keeps a correct top line on move in profile. Would like a bit more
return of upper arm. Well ribbed back and good spring with a prosternum.
Well turned out with a real shine to his coat. Like a little more drive
behind. 3 Metadale Monterey Jack (Metcalfe-Bilgin) VB (1) 1 Glasvey Double
Trouble for Loggeta (Bailey) Well made front assembly, with a feminine head
and expression and good eye. Plenty of coat with a shine to it. Good spring
of ribs but would like a slight shorter loin. Moved well enough both ways.
MPB (2) 1 Trixhund One Queen (Lewis) Preferred the overall balance and
proportions to 1st over 2nd. Needs to settle on the move tending to rise
slightly over the loin. Like her litter brother head needs to break, but no
doubt a feminine head and expression. Good prosternum and well ribbed and
well sprung. Moved with more confidence and drive compared to 2nd. Show in
good condition. 2 Pettigans Viva La Vida by Riveroyal (Partridge) A pretty
bitch with a correct top line. Correct bone and feet. Would like a slight
more balanced head at this stage, needs to grow to her muzzle. Well ribbed
back with good spring. Front movement could be a little tighter coming
towards you. Going away is ok. PB (3) 1 Kindeace Brown Eyed Girl at Gellijam
(Dunhill) Preferred her overall balance with Good bone and feet. Pleasing
conical head and expression into a clean neck and well laid shoulder. Well
sprung rib and good loin. Kept a correct tail carriage on the move. In good
order with a good coat and correct texture. 2 Ratterdach Love of My Life
(Palmer) A well made bitch behind with good bend of stifle and short rear
pastern. Well ribbed back and good spring. Would have liked her front
assembly firmer and further back to her body. Made her look bum high on the
profile move. JB (3,1) 1 Breezelyn Longing for Love (Pike & Carter) Moved
with some uumph around the ring, kept her top line and correct tail
carriage. Correct bone and good broad feet. Presented a well balance picture
on the move in full coat and correct texture. A feminine conical head with a
kind expression and correctly set ears. A clean neck and shoulder flowing
into her strong top line. 2 Ratterdach Love of My Life (Palmer) YB (3,1) 1
Sundayshill Savannah (Eve) I preferred her height to length proportions and
balance to 2nd. Good bone and feet. Well ribbed back, however would like a
slightly shorter loin. A well made rear and drove off from behind. Well
muscled and in good coat and condition. Kept her balance in profile
movement. 2 Abydachs Hot Patootie (Geeson) Shown in top order with good
broad front feet. Pleasing feminine head and expression. Just like a like
more length of muzzle. In super coat and well conditioned. Moved well both
ways keeping her top line in profile. PGB (1) 1 The Marquis Mansion’s
Atlantic C to Abydachs (Imp Nld) (Geeson) Would benefit from not carrying
too much weight across the shoulder. A rich Black and Tan colour. A feminine
head and expression with correct eye and well set ear. Kept her top line on
the move in profile and certainly drove out well from behind. Well ribbed
back with a strong loin. Boone and feet. LB (3) 1 Swansford Aquadora
(Roberts) A really good mover keeping her top line around the ring and
showing some drive away. Good lay of shoulder into a well sprung rib and a
prosternum. A lovely feminine head and expression with a good dark almond
eye. Correct ear set. I believe this gave her crowning CC today. 2 Metadale
Merengue (Metcalfe-Bilgin) Not as settled and confident on the move today.
Would like a slightly stronger conical head, that said it was feminine. Well
ribbed back with a good sting and strong loin. A defined prosternum. Super
rich colour and in cook condition and correct texture. Her movement let her
down today. 3 Swansford Almadora (Burley & Way) OB (3,1) 1 Ch Abydachs Fire
in Her Soul (Geeson) A lovely feminine bitch all through. Good head and
gentle expression well sprung rib and a strong loin, kept her top line on
the move and could drive from a well made rear construction with correct
bend of stifle. Really positive and happy movement. But would benefit from a
few pounds less all through. RCC 2 Zarcrest Angelina Jolie at Breezelyn
(Pike & Carter) Not quite the head of 1st lacking a little fill under the
eye. And would like more return of upper arm and a cleaner flow through the
neck and shoulder. Good spring of rib and correct length of loin. A well
made rear assembly and kept a correct top line on the move.
