PD (1) 1 Protheroe’s Royalmaple Anky Panky, attractive red, just rising a year. Well shaped pup with a sweet head, nice dark eye, but could be a tad tighter. Decent neck & forehand, well ribbed back, balanced angulation both ends & held his topline on the move. JD (5) 1 RCC, Hunt’s Carpaccio Casablanca, eyecatching b/t of lovely proportions & super overall shape & balance. Reachy neck & excellent in forehand & keel, good length & depth of ribbing, strong hindquarters & well padded tight feet which all contributed to his excellent movement. A sure contender for top honours; 2 Scott’s Danton Mr Brown at Wolferlow, attractive choc of balanced appearance, sweet head & expression, decent neck, very nice make & shape, not quite the forehand & upper arm of 1, but moved soundly holding his topline; 3 Bourne’s Yaapeet Rafferty. PGD (2) 1 Ergis’  Siouxline Aaron, quality sh/red with most beautiful masculine head & expression, lovely neck & forehand, excellent keel & ribbing, good topline held on the move, moved out well on excellent feet. Close up in the challenge; 2 Muggleton’s Solar Flare at Mosiarto, b/t with a sweet head & lovely temperament, unlucky to meet 1, not quite the forehand & a little shorter in ribbing, but a happy sound mover enjoying his day. LD (0). OD (3,1a) 1 CC, Ergis’ Ch Siouxline Flynn Rider, quality red out of the top drawer, beautiful head & expression, reachy neck & excellent forehand with good return of upper arm. Good keel, lovely length & depth of ribbing, moved out soundly & freely holding his topline; 2 Protheroe’s Grandgables Crafty Lil Devil at Royalmaple, sound little dog, a little more on the leg than winner, sweet head & dark eye, balanced angulation, reasonable length & depth of ribbing, moved out soundly keeping his topline. 

PB (5,1) 1 BP, Allen’s Kernowdax Hazel Rose,  very attractive sh/red of 8 months. Sweet feminine head & lovely expression, dark well shaped eye. Good in neck, ribbing & keel, she took a while to settle, but moved out with panache & freedom, excellent feet & hindquarters used to advantage, held her topline on the move, one to watch; 2 Muggleton’s Mosiarto Miss Calculate, another lovely puppy, very attractive head & sweet expression. Unlucky to meet 1 in such good form, moved out well & soundly; 3 Hughes’ Siouxline Tiana to Julidachs. JB (5,1) 1 Rollinson’s Cwmdarhian Lady In Red for Diamonddax, another top quality red bitch of lovely proportions. Sweet feminine head, excellent neck, forehand & length & depth of ribbing. Nice bone, & very good feet. Free sound & easy on the move, a real showgirl enjoying her day; 2 Bourne’s Yaapeet Esme May, another attractive red, sweet head, but not quite the immediate appeal of 1, & not quite so confident in herself. Good length of neck, decent forehand & ribbing, she moved soundly holding her topline; 3 Thomas’ Royaldach Authorized Queen. PGB (5) 1 Stokes’ Webbers Swansong, attractive b/t, soundest mover in the class. Feminine head, good neck & length & depth of ribbing, excellent hindquarters used to good effect on the move, held her topline well; 2 Bourne’s Yaapeet Persephone, another b/t of lovely breed type, typical head & good overall balance, close up to 1, but not quite the neck of winner. Excellent topline, moved soundly on very good feet; 3 Scott’s Wolferfow Mary Quant. LB (3) 1 Salisbury’s Brocklewood Black Rose, b/t in gleaming coat & condition. Feminine head & expression, good length of neck into decent forehand, excellent length & breadth of ribbing. Liked her overall proportions, good keel & strong loin, free sound mover with correct topline; 2 Rollinson’s Cwmdarhian Lady Marmalade by Diamonddax, close up, little to choose between these two quality bitches. Sh/red, of lovely proportions, sweet head, excellent topline & strong quarters, just a shade shorter in ribbing , but free & sound on the move; 3 Scott’s Wolferlow Anthea. OB (3) 1 CC & BOB, Hunt’s Barratini Jennifer Eccles at Carpaccio; 2 RCC, Ergis & Melbourne’s Siouxline Rapunzel with Melriding, two quality bitches with little to choose between them. Both have beautiful outlines, typical heads & feminine expressions, excellent ribbing & toplines, & strong quarters used well on the move, really nit picking here. 1 just a tad cleaner coming towards, & very slightly more appealing in head which gave her the nod; 3 Mortlock’s Hertsmerry Catch A Star.
