It is always enjoyable to judge this delightful breed and I had an entry of overall quality. I found it interesting to see how many progeny of Ch Zuccini did well under me - including three half sisters which were 2nd, 3rd and 4th in OB and the DCC winner won his firstst CC out of Junior. 
PD (3) 1, BP & Res CC, Phillips' Tendrow Replayed In Blue. What a start to the day with this delightful youngster.  He just takes the eye on entry.  Stunning outline, beautiful headpiece with dark eyes in a long, clean cheeked head, neck clean throated and regal in carriage.  His shoulders are well laid, the wither definition good and his back is steady as a rock. He has ample ground clearance and is blessed with a well muscled and rounded rump and hindquarters. Coat immaculate and he moved around the ring so free striding. Surely one for the top. 2 Smithy's Jethard Two To Tango At Salixian. I liked the head shape, eyes and foreface on this red, but he is lacking in body coat and weight. His thorax is full enough and his rear quarters are well angulated. Not the positive side gait of Blue, but basically sound. 3 Dible's Cishelvine Storm At Sea At Liebling. 
JD (3) 1 & CC, Warren's Wagsford Lincoln. Could be named sudden impact as his look of class hit me as soon as I saw him. Has an air of quality, owns a delightful headpiece, his length/height ratios musty be almost spot on, he has a really good spring and depth of rib, is well off for substance for a male, has a harsh, beautifully presented jacket and what a neck! I loved his expression, just sheer class.  Add that he is sound and smooth striding in action and he had to be the ticket winner. One of the Zuccini offspring which I loved. 2 Lewis-Crooks' Kormeese Luxury Luxor. Black and tan which is much less advanced than Lincoln and not yet his air of superiority. His head handles well, it was lean, is all male and he has good eyes and ears. His jacket is a good texture, he is nicely ribbed and well muscled aft. Needs to tighten in backline and he was playing his handler up coming towards me. 3 Hazell's Romanchi Nooksack At Vraibleu. 
PGD (1) 1 Clare's Bellavin's Illustrious. This is a well bodied and conditioned chap, bit plain in head and expression for me but he has a good neck, clean in throat, very well ribbed and they carry well back to a good loin. He is a bit proud of his tail, but he strutted his stuff in style as he went around the ring with some attitude. 
LD (7, 2) 1 Moore's Metewand Bogen By The Sea. A dog of much quality, especially in head, eye and expression. He carries that so proudly on a long, strong neck, his ribs are well sprung and not over deep allowing free action.  Just about enough bend of stifle to firm hocks and he does keep his shape as he moves around the ring. 2 Seath's Zlowfox Av Larhjelm At Sundsong (Imp Nor). This fellow is a size smaller all through but undoubtedly masculine in appearance and expression. He has such a good fore assembly, well developed sternum, good layback with a decent upper arm, backline firm and ample weight in bone. He has a good bend of stifle but on the go around he lacked the drive and propulsion of the winner. 3 Coverley's Aventine Jamaica Inn. 
OD (6) 1 McPherson & Paterson's Fransin Brasilian TP Panettone (Imp Ita). Nice for size and he is so balanced in height/length. Owns a pleasing headpiece, especially pleasing eye and expression, very good reach of neck, enough spring of rib, lovely jacket and immaculate in body and presentation. Moved up and down quite soundly. 2 Gibson's Allfreys Rock Of Gibralter. Another very good quality dog shown in excellent coat and condition.  On the stack he pleased me with that reach of neck, well defined withers, clean front and that flowing backline.  He is well off for bone, has good feet and showed well. Not quite the rear drive of the first. 3 McCalmont's Silvae Quantum. 
MPB (2, 1) 1 Rowe's Boloria's Forever Foolish. Just over the 6months but showed with all the assurance of an old hand. She is pretty in head, so feminine in outlook, has a super neck, is well bodied and boned, very good bend of stifle and was quite settled on the go around. Could finish well. 
PB (3) 1 Jones & Rowe's Boloria's Arabella. I felt she had the best forehand in the class and it showed in her side action. She has a good head for length, loved he eye shape, colour and expression, very good ears and a long, well arched neck.  Her backline is firm and her jacket harsh to the touch. So balanced on the move. 2 Davies' Tendrow Joie De  Vivre By Atahira. I liked her lots as she has a very nice head, is shapely in repose, very good rib length and depth, strong loin and well angulated hindquarters. However, she was having one of those days, throwing her front about coming towards me. Side on it was less apparent and she covered the ground well. 3 Vine's Cishelvine Sandy Shore. 
JB (6) 1 Warren's Wagsford Lydia. Another lovely bitch of great quality. She just looks well bred and classy. I see she is litter sister to the DCC winner. She ticked all the boxes for me, is graceful yet workmanlike, has correct angles both ends and will be a challenge to all bitches before long. 2 Vine's Gravetye Kiss Me Kate Cishelvine. I admired the head properties, eyes and expression on this pretty red. Good sternum, well weighted boned, lovely feet and her side action is so fluent and balanced. Just needs to tighten in backline. 3 Morris' Wagsford Giselle. 
PGB (5, 2) 1 Paterson's Ambiesque Agna/ I felt she had to win here on account of the quality of her head shape, beautiful eyes and ears and that expression! Super neck, so well ribbed, supple loin, well rounded rump and she really covers the ground with reach and drive. She certainly complimented the unbeaten bitch line up. 2 Gibson's Allfreys Sternchen Alrisha. So shapely in stance. Her head has length with lovely foreface and ears but not quite the eye of Agna. Her forechest is lovely, she has bags of substance and very good bend of stifle. I would like to see her carrying a little less weight than at present. 3 Baxter's Cishelvine August Breeze Without Hotwire. 
LB (2) 1 Rowe's Boloria Naughty But Nice. Despite being sadly out of coat she had to win. Pleasing head eye and ears, very well bodied with ribs carrying well back to a good croup and tail. Nice for size and substance with good feet. She out-moved her opposition with a positive display as they went around the ring. 2 Vine's Cishelvine Enigma Of The Sea, I felt she was a shade long cast for me. I liked her head length and shape, excellent mouth and good ears. Not quite the eye and expression of Naughty, but she was in much better coat, she is well ribbed but I would like her to be more compact in loin. Side action ok but she was paddling a bit in front. 
OB (5) 1, CC & BOB, McCalmont's Silvae Solo. The star of the day but she almost threw it away as she can be difficult. Not to handle on the table…there she is a gem. I loved everything about her. She has an air of class and quality, stunning head shape, strength with refinement. Commanding outline, expertly presented in body and coat and once she settles to stride out she is impressive. I believe this win makes her up  and she is still only 17 months old!!  2 & Res CC, Morris' Wagsford Winona Of Rocinda. Another Zuccini offspring with that air of good breeding and quality we all strive to achieve. She is a top quality example of the breed and would be a worthy title-holder. I liked everything about her, blessed with a gorgeous headpiece, beautiful fore assembly, so clean in outline and she is very sound on the move. 3 Warrren's Ch Wagsford Florence.
