Minor Puppy Dog (1/0)

1ST    - Montone Hennessy Black (Miss T Mutton)

Black and Tan dog with a very masculine head, good dark eye and length of neck, very immature as yet.

Puppy Dog (4/1)

1ST  - Marvale Sparrowhawk for Devondax (Miss Kj Small) very smart brindle dog with the most excellent head and eye and expression, good length of neck, well fitting shoulders, good bone, lovely length and angulation. Moved soundly fore and after and kept a good outline. Should have a promising future.

2ND      Copper's Boy at Llansansior (Mrs M & Miss O Dalton) A larger frame, rich red boy. Most gorgeous head and really houndy. Fantastic bone and substance, excellent feet which were well padded. Good spring of rib, well angulated, moved well, just needs to fill his frame.

3RD       Portmoll Peanut (Mr R Graham)

Junior Dog (2/0)

1ST    Rijobeau Well I Never (Mr J Tite)

Smart black & tan dog. Good length of neck fantastic front construction and the best of ribbing. Well angulated at front and back and kept a good outline moving and standing. I would prefer a more masculine head. Sympathetically handled.

2ND    Metadale Secret Alliance (Mrs S J Metcalfe-Bilgin) A red dog that was not cooperating with his owner. Nice head, good length of neck, good forechest and front assembly. When he did move steady he held a good outline.

Post Graduate Dog (2/0)

1ST   Mylforbe The Bishop at Gentlegorse (Dr M Eyre-Brook) Very well presented Black and Tan dog in super hard condition with gleaming coat. Well shaped head okay shoulders good spring of rib well angulated. He held a very nice top line on the move and standing just would prefer better hind movement had a tendency to pin in.

2ND     Rozamie Tiger Feet (Mr J & Mrs J Williams) brindle dog who kept a nice outline on the move but not cooperating stacked as well as 1. Lovely head and front with deep well ribbed chest, well muscled hindquarters.

Limit Dog (11/1)

1ST - Jenivon's Starfinch (Mrs J Jennings) Small Black and Tan boy, excellently handled. Well put together front and back, well fitting shoulders, good spring of rib, well angulated front and back. Moved well and kept his outline.

2ND - Riverbrue Wolfberry to Sumaric (Mrs S Begg) Really lovely red boy super masculine. Unfortunately the owner had arrived late and he was a little bit unsettled. Lovely head and eye. Good length of neck well placed shoulders. good feet well ribbed. He had well angulated quarters really good outline when he did relax. 

3RD       Metadale Due Diligence (Mrs S J Metcalfe-Bilgin)

 Open Dog (7/1)

1ST  Ivan Poddubny Iz Omskoi Kreposti for Montone (Imp Rus) (Miss T & Miss J Mutton) A larger framed black and tan boy that I have always liked from outside the ring. Really stunning houndy head, good neck, well put together front with good drop-down and padded feet. He has well sprung ribs well angulated front and back really keeps a lovely outline moving and standing with powerful movement. Unfortunate to come against the veteran looking in such good form. Res CC.

2ND Ch Teckeltown Suspicious Mind (Miss A Mason) another lovely Black and Tan. Splitting hairs between these two boys. Lovely head and expression. Good length of neck, well put front assembly. Good ribbing, well angulated, kept a perfect topline standing and moving. Put down in very good condition and handled to perfection.

 3RD   Scenterbay Rafael for Ruichango JW (Miss M Corominas)

 

Veteran Dog (2/1)

1ST  Riowood Arizona JW (Miss L M B & Messrs L J B & A B Beach) High quality dark brindle boy. Melting head and expression, a real hound in miniature. Good length of neck, good bone, super feet, good prominent forechest, kept a lovely outline. Super hard condition. Moving around the ring as though he owned it with his lashing tail. Moving out like a 2 year old, it was hard to believe he was a veteran. He just couldn’t be denied the cc. I believe this is his second hopefully he will get his third for that all important title. DCC & BV.

Special Beginners Dog (1/0)

1ST  Mumysami You’re All I Need (Mrs D Holmes) Would like to see this boy carry a little bit more body, but had very good attitude and moved very well.

Minor Puppy Bitch (8/2)

1ST       Devondax Seeing Stripes (Miss Kj Small) Pretty brindle girl with a lovely head and expression. Good length of neck and well put together front. Well ribbed. Good angulation that she used on the moved. Good outline.

3RD   Venari’s Black Magic (Mrs L & Mr S Roberts)



 

Puppy Bitch (6/1)

1ST       Llansansior Empress (Mrs M & Miss O Dalton) adorable red bitch with the most melting expression. Well angulated front and back without exaggeration and so well balanced. Well ribbed. In such beautiful conditioning. She was like a standard in miniature should have a really outstanding future, at one point I thought this girl might be my cc winner.

2ND      - Marvale Golden Oriole for Devondax (Miss Kj Small) another top quality bitch puppy.  lovely size beautiful head and expression. Lengthy neck.  Well put together front construction. Good ribbing . Such a shame she just was not cooperating with her handler today and she was throwing her movement which is such a shame

Two litter sisters who are very similar in type and daughters of my dog CC winner. Lovely rich brindles and similar remarks apply to both. Classic heads and expressions the best of front construction,  excellent bone, good padded feet, well ribbed with plenty of heart room, short loins, such hammy quarters.  Both kept super outlines both on the move and standing . Great striding and driving movement really splitting hairs between these two beauties just preferred the verve of the winner today who took ResCC.

Smooth well placed shoulders. Good prominent chest, lovely feet. Good well angulated quarters. For me she’s the complete package she’s balanced she’s elegant she’s so fluid on the move. She was just a dream to watch moving and so sound front and back. Couldn’t be denied CC and BOB, her 2nd.

2ND    - Gellijams Fireworks at Cwmdarhian (Mrs N & Mrs R & Mr C Beer & William & Moes) really lovely shaded red bitch classic head and eye well put together front . Clean legs and good feet. Good spring of rib short loin. Well, muscled hindquarters in fact she was in excellent hard condition. Shiny coat and presented to perfection.
