PD (4) 1 Paget & Carroll’s Metadale Lark Ascending. BP. This was a very nice young dog who I’m sure has a very promising future. I had no hesitation in awarding BP and BD. Stunning in head of correct shape and proportions. Strong over the neck with that slight arch following through to well placed shoulders. Balanced both for and aft, upper arms placed nicely into the elbows but not too tight to prevent ease of movement, good rear angulation. Showed his socks off on the move. 2 House’s Ambiesque Attain At Gleadsbury Unfortunate to come up against first.  Again well proportioned. Correct length of muzzle to skull, dark almond shaped eye.  Good depth of chest and short over the loin. Shoulders well placed. Good topline both standing and on the move. 3 Jennings’ Jenivon Mr Mischeif.  

PGD (5, 1) 1 Cumberland’s Mumysami Clicalicious For Yorami JW. Very classy youngster excellent head shape, dark eye balanced between foreface and skull. Deep chest. Forelegs set well but enough room for ease of movement. Strong rear quarters. Topline kept well both on the move and when standing. 2 Jennings’ Duddondaxs Judge Jude For Jenivon. Another one with all the correct attributes for the breed. Head well balanced, correct eye shape, again well set in front and rear moved well. 3 Hyslop’s Zilveraat Goldfink. 

OD (2, 1) 1 Melbourne’s Ambreglo Storm At Melriding (Ikc). RBD. 2 yr old b/t dog with good substance.  Slightly longer in the hock than I would like which was the deciding factor in the challenge. Skull of good shape with balance between the muzzle and occiput. Nicely arched strong neck, clean lines to the shoulders. Good chest and ribcage. Level topline. 

PB (4, 1) 1 Metcalfe-Bilgin’s Metadale Legacy To The Lark. Balanced in head with good eye colour. Well placed forelegs giving freedom of movement. Chest and ribs well developed. Short and strong in the loin. Moved well. 2 Cumberland’s Mumysami Here We Go Again. Very close up to the winner. Clean lines good body shape and balanced proportions. Just preferred the depth of chest of first. 3 Thomson’s Zilveraat Silver Lining.

  JB (6, 4) 1 Gleave’s Stargang Krystal Kisses. BJ. Feminine bitch with balanced head. Skull slightly arched but not to broad. Correct almond shaped eye. Strong slightly arched neck following through to well angulated shoulders. Well developed chest and rib cage. Short strong loin.  Moved with ease around the ring. 2 Jenning’s Ayseebee Diamond Sky For Jenivon. Pleasing youngster who I feel just needs time to mature. Not quite the depth of chest as first. Topline held well on the move, strong rear quarters and good forefront. 

PGB (9, 4) 1 Melbourne, Pagett & Carrol’s Meldridge Sea Infanta. Quality bitch, head balanced when viewed both from above and the side. Short strong forelegs well placed giving ease of movement. Clean lines to the slightly arched neck. Shoulders well angulated, chest and ribs well developed. Short strong loin.  Moved well. 2 Shutt’s Donnadoon Carolina Moon. A close decision between these two girls and I was splitting hairs. All the above attributes. Well balanced in both head and body shape. Strong rear quarters. They could change places at any time. 3 Cumberland’s Mumysami Clickety Clic For Yorami. 4 Kilroy’s Janacop Maggie May.

Strong front and rear quarters. Ribs and chest well developed. Moved easily around the ring a pleasure to award her BOB. 2 Melbourne, Pagett & Carroll’s Siouxline Goldilocks Of Melriding.
