Found the depth and quality of the males much better than the bitches today and there was a number of males I would have been more than happy to take home. Presentation again was excellent and all teeth clean. I was extremely pleased to see clean teeth as the last time I judged some exhibits were presented with dirty teeth. Found one exhibit who was quite large and although the scales are there for guidance this was well over the 12lb weight. I would not penalise a exhibit for being slightly over the 11lb. I found no major faults within the breed however I did feel some could benefit slightly from some muscle tone.

 

  1. P/D Marvale Master of Disguise – stunning puppy dog drew my attention as soon as he came into the class. Excellent head, almond eye, nice neck leading into well placed shoulders. Well sprung ribs with a nice underline and moved soundly out and back. One to definitely watch for the future.
  2. P/D Zilveratt Goldfink – A larger type than 1. Pleasing head and eye unfortunately did not want to cooperate with handler today and therefore made it difficult to access. Moved ok.
  1. J/D Marvale In Cahoots With Melriding – another excellent example from this kennel. Stunning profile. Excellent prominent front with nice tight elbows. Pleasing head and neck with well placed shoulders. Moved so soundly and true both out and back. Again another from this kennel I will watch with interest. BP, RBD, BJ and Junior Hound Group.
  2. J/D  Duddondaxs Judge Jude – Larger type than one. Pleasing in profile however was not as well ribbed as no 1. Therefore slightly longer in loin than I would have preferred. Moved soundly and carried a level topline at all times.
  1. P/D Ambreglo Storm At Melriding – quality bitch with pleasing head and eye. Well balanced with good front, tight elbows and nice underline. Held topline on the move and moved soundly out and back.
  2. P/D Mumysami Clicalicious For Yorami – Larger type than 1. Elegant head flowing neck into well sprung ribbing. Carried topline on move however would prefer stronger rear drive.

1.  O/D Ch Marvale Up With The Lark – Wow stunning male loved him the          minute he entered the ring. This male had presence. Stunning stacked and also on the move. As with all from this kennel presented in exellent condition and handled to perfection.  A real quality exhibit excellent head, prominent front, flowing neck into well placed shoulders, ribbed right back with a short loin. Moved so soundly and one I could have watched moving all day. BD, BOB and Hound Group.

2.   O/D Lustrum Cushendall – smaller type than 1. Pleasing head and neck how          however would have preferred more lay back in shoulder. Moved soundly out            and back carrying a level topline.

1.  P/B Dinkidax India Spice – Good type, compact bitch who was well balanced.      Pleasing head and almond eye, elegant neck flowing into a prominent front.            Well sprung ribbing and nice short loin. Just needs to settle with topline on        the move.

2.  P/B Marvale Miss Meera – Lovely type well balanced with a super front and nice lay back of shoulder. Just unfortunately would not cooperate with handler today and was difficult to access on the move, however on a different day could have changed places with 1.

1. J/B Clentry Nippy Sweetie At Zilveraat – Pleasing head and eye with a good expression. Just unfortunately did not want to cooperate with handler today and therefore difficult to access. Moved ok.

1. P/G Wingcrest Brigit Jones To Denver – Excellent type and size, good head and soundly constructed, well ribbed back with excellent shoulders, with a nice underline. Moved soundly out and back and held a level topline. RBB.

2. P/G Stargang Hot Cross Bun For Collidach – another excellent type with a pleasing head and almond eye. Lovely flowing neck into well placed shoulders with a prominent front. Carried level topline on the move however I just preferred the rear action on No 1 today.

1.O/B Donnadoon Sea Vermillion At Marvale – quality compact bitch with a lovely head and almond eye. Lovely front construction with a tight elbows and good lay back of shoulder. Level topline and moved with purpose and drive out and back. BB.
