PD (3,2a) 1 Kent’s Lokmadi A Boy Named Sue, lovely supple ear leathers & decent feet. Somewhat short in keel & very little hind extension. JD (2) Very close decision, both dogs nicely balanced in angulation & moved very soundly. 1 Paget & Carroll’s Bronia Valente of Marvale, just preferred the slightly longer keel of this boy. BD; 2 Hunt’s Mylforbe Matchmaker at Carpaccio, preferred the feet of this boy. RBD. PGD (3,2) 1 Shutt’s Shantallah All Spiced Up for Donnadoon, excellent neck leading down to a nice topline. Good prosternum. Balanced in angulation. OD (4,2) 1 Startup’s Barisse A Touch Of Magic, slightly shorter in body but not to any detriment. Some prosternum & pleasing keel. Moved very soundly; 2 Pearson’s Djeata Midnight Sun, very nicely balanced in angulation & looked very nice ‘stacked’ but, sadly, ‘lost it a little’ in the movement.
PB (2) A nice class, two happy babies. 1 Shutt’s Kissed The Toy Moon of Donnadoon, nice temperament, ‘full of beans’ & having a lovely time. Beautiful ribbing with good prosternum & nice keel line. Angulation balanced and the outline ‘flowed’ smoothly from nose to tail. Moved quite nicely. BP; 2 Masterman’s Little Miss Tiger Lily, not quite the front of the class winner but good for all that. Fairly well balanced in angulation & moved quite nicely. JB (3) 1 Kent’s Lokmadi Goodnight Irene, nice length of neck flowing into good shoulders. Balanced fore & aft. Moved very well; 2 Oxley’s Dinkidax Dark Angel, slightly shorter in body & I would have liked to see a slightly longer keel. An overall balanced bitch however & moved very soundly; 3 Padget & Carroll’s Bronia Vittoria of Marvale. PGB (3,2) 1 Spencer’s Chelridge Carolina Red, a very elegant bitch with a pleasing length of neck. Nicely angulated & balanced fore & aft. Well ribbed & with some prosternum & a decent keel. RBB. OB (4,3) 1 Hunt’s Ch Carpaccio Crimson Ribbon, a beautifully headed bitch with pleasingly balanced angulation, nice prosternum & good ribbing. Super movement with reach & drive. BOB.
