PD (4) 1 Ygeia Landgraf 1 for Bronia, what a start! From the moment I set my eyes on this brindle dog, I knew he would be the one to beat, & it turned out nobody could. Really stunning puppy of excellent type & quality with a lovely silhouette & above all a great mover. Well shaped quality head with lovely expression. Excellent neck with a lovely crest, well set. Excellent keel, so well developed in body for one so young. Well muscled body without excess. Excellent topline with strong loins. Well angulated both ends. He moved through the grass with superb extension & drive, keeping his lovely balance & outline at all times. CC & BOB; 2 Barisse Grimaldi, another very attractive youngster with a particularly good carriage. Long & well shaped head. Long neck. Very pleasing forechest. Not quite the shoulder or the topline of the winner, but fully adequate. Excellent, shiny coat. Moved parallel coming & going & with plenty of style from the side; 3 Melriding Perkin Warbeck. JD (2) 1 Grandgables Crafty Lil Devil at Royalmaple, instantly attractive red dog, very stylish male of excellent type & overall quality. Long, refined head with correctly slightly arched nose, but I would not mind a stronger underjaw. Well set & carried ears. Pleasing forechest. Strong, firm topline. Somewhat proud of his tail. Moved very effortlessly & light on his feet with very good extension both ends. RCC; 2 Mylforbe Matchmaker at Carpaccio, attractive, masculine b/t of a more compact type. Preferred the head chiselling of the winner. Strong neck. Very good forechest. Deep & capacious chest & body. Firm topline. Beautiful coat & colour. Moved quite well, but not up to the winner. PGD (1) 1 Santorna Adam for Gillijam, at 13 months old, this b/t is in between stages & appears rather up on legs. Well shaped head, ears rather low set. Long neck. Needs to develop quite a lot in forechest. Straight topline. Rather high set & carried tail. Very pleasing coat & colour. I would have liked him to show more propelling power in movement. LD (4) 1 Mosiarto Mister Motivator, stylish, well proportioned b/t dog. Attractive, masculine head with a lovely expression. Strong neck with a very attractive nape. Good forechest. Reasonable topline. Moved with carriage, style & soundness from all angles. Excellent coat & colour; 2 Donnadoon Jolly Roger for Glyndwr, red male who comes into himself in movement, but rather anonymous standing & could do with a bit more attitude. Quality, well shaped & proportioned head. Neck could be smoother set. Deep & capacious chest & body. Firm topline which he keeps on the move. Used his legs well from all angles; 3 D’arisca Flaunt It at Melriding. OD(3) 1 Elnside Two Toned Boy at Mosiarto, very powerful, masculine brindle dog with a great keel. Head not his fortune, rather round & too broad in skull. Very attractively arched neck. Firm topline. Deep & capacious body. Well angulated behind. Moved soundly from the side & from behind; 2 Ch Bronia Gregorio, very attractive b/t dog, the obvious class winner standing still. Lovely head with plenty of quality, excellent ears. Moderate neck, shoulder & forechest, but all balancing well. Excellent topline & tailset. Beautiful coat & colour. Unfortunately most of the time refused to show off his movement; 3 Cwmdarhian Butch Cassidy at Acedachs
PB (8,2) 1 Deercroft Summer Serenade, very attractive bitch puppy of excellent type. Quality head if rather immature at this age. Strong neck. Excelled in forechest & layback of upper arm. Pleasing topline, covering plenty of ground both standing & moving. Came into her own in movement, effective, sound & with a lovely natural carriage; 2 Zarosa Circles In Black, 6 months old b/t puppy who has come quite a long way in her development. Well shaped head, lovely expression. Deep & capacious body, but somewhat less finished in her outline than the winner. Light on her feet, effortless & well co-ordinated in movement; 3 Magical Skylight at Daxphilly. JB (6,2) 1 Brocklewood Black Rose, in all, but one respects a very attractive bitch of overall high quality & with balanced proportions. Well chiselled head. Attractive forechest. Unfortunately too short in brisket giving her too much tuck up. Firm topline. Balanced angulation both ends. Easily the best mover in this class & the next which won her both; 2 Santorna Mercedes at Mosiarto, 7 months old b/br bitch, at this age a little high on legs & looking rather young for this class. Beautiful head & expression. Very attractive topline on the stack. Well angulated both ends. Struggled a little to make the best of herself on the move in the grass; 3 Webber Swansong. PGB (7,1) 1 Brocklewood Black Rose; 2 Deercroft Spring Promise, instantly eye catching, long cast b/t bitch. Attractive head. Strong neck, excellent forechest. Pleasing underline, acceptable topline. Well set tail. Rather high in hocks. Moved well enough from all angles, but not as good as the winner; 3 Julidachs Jocasta. LB (5,1) 1 Mosiarto Miss Understood, very handsome, instantly attractive b/t bitch of excellent type & quality. Well shaped, quality head with a typical roman nose profile. Excellent crested neck. Very good keel. Covering plenty of ground while keeping her topline at all times. Well angulated behind. Moved effortlessly & co-ordinated to win the CC; 2 Lokmadi Morning Cloud at Zarosa, powerful b/t bitch, feminine enough. Generally well constructed, but not the neck of the winner. Deep & capacious chest. Firm topline. Moved well from all angles; 3 Batendach Coppa Rose for Julidachs. OB (4) 1 Ch Golden Algonquinette of Melriding, red bitch, lovely balanced, covering very good ground with a beautiful outline. Long head with pleasing proportions, but could do with a little less skin. Long, well crested & well set neck. Excellent keel & layback of upper arm. Firm topline. Balanced angulation behind. Moved with excellent balance & drive. RCC; 2 Carpaccio Crimson Ribbon, eye catching & imposing deep red bitch of excellent quality & type. Feminine head. Long neck. Excellent topline. Deep & capacious chest. Needs to stabilize in hocks both standing & moving. Moved well from the front & from the side; 3 Grandgables Ms Melting Moments at Royalm.
