I enjoyed judging these today. Most were in great condition. I  felt most lacked length of neck making a lot look stuffy. Rear movement tended  to be better than front movement, all were the correct weight, whilst all shown  in good body condition. Temperaments on the dogs and exhibitors was friendly!

MPD(3,  1) 1 Bell's Tolberg Super Ted. Black and cream who has a very good shape, most  pleasing head, good firm topline, sound and powerful rear, shown in great  condition and well handled on the move. BP. 2 Drady's Tolberg Paddy Guinness At  Indiko. Litter brother to above, good balance to shape, a bit rangier and very  raw compared to above, pleasing type and sound.

PD(1) 1 Drady's Tolberg  Paddy Guinness At Indiko.

JD(2, 1) 1 Shutt's Donnadoon Boo Gee Woogy.  Cream with excellent pigment and the darkest of eyes, liked his head and  expression, a very sound mover, but he had lost his verve by the time he had to  chalalenge.

LD(5, 1) 1 Bedford's Dinkidudlor Jankay Tooray. Good type,  needs more neck, good head and expression, prominent keel, firm topline and  overall shape with clean outline, moved well. 2 Graham's Jadag Heir Apparent.  Chocolate dapple, leggier and longer than above, great shape on the table, and  he kept this on the move, in great show condition. 3 Johnson's Charpurdy's Gold  McNugget.

OD(4) 1 Brown's Garbosa Garfield. Brindle boy who commands the  ring with his arrogant air about him, pleasing head strength of jaw, sound  front and good shoulders, topline correct at all times, the best mover here  today, sound fore and aft. CC and BOB, his second. Title should easily come.  Very well handled. 2 Bedford's Garbosa Simply Splendid Of Dinkidudlor.  Chocolate and tan who I really admired. His balance and overall shape is very  good, liked his ribbing, topline and very sound rear, moves well, just not the  arrogance of the snooty dog above, but very close. Res CC. 3 Brooks' Ch  Lyndarlea Raferty JW.

MPB(1) 1 Rowell's Tolberg Tia Drop At Emmajesk.  Black and cream baby, sister to the puppy dog, a really good litter. We shall  hear of these youngsters in the future. Outline and correct balance is very  pleasing, in great condition and coat.

PB(5) 1 Johnson's Dandydayo  Silent Nite At Charpurdy. Liked this red a lot with her great shape, dark eyes,  topline and keel, good feet and ribbing, her quarters are strong and sound,  giving her freedom in movement. 2 McGavigan &Pettigrew's Walpines Peel To  Pettigans. Black and tan who is similar make, shape as above, needs more neck,  shown in good body and firm condition, another good mover. 3 Bedford's Eldmour  Love In The Mist Of Dinkidudlor.

JB(1) 1 Brooks' Hanishan Eezzy Magic  Nite At Lyndarlea. Red puppy of great shape and presence, good sound front,  topline and tail, freedom in movement keeping her outline, liked her a lot,  most promising future, lost a bit of sparkle in the challenge for BP.

PGB(5)  1 Kennedy's Denkena's Miss Booty Licious. Black and cream with a pleasing  outline and balance for correct shape, sound front and good shoulders, she is  so sound and free moving, handled well to show off her many attributes. 2  Drady's Jumanda's Silver Sparkle At Indiko. Larger framed dapple who is also  eyecatching for balance and shape, she moved well, loved her markings and she  will definitely appeal to many judges. 3 Laird's Flavian Circe.

LB(2)Not  a very good class this one. 1 Brooks' Lyndarlea Thumbalina. Won this class on  her clean outline, topline level at all times, good firm ribbing, sound  quarters and straight parallel hocks, strong rear, moved well. 2 Kennedy's  Denkena's Black Swan. Black and tan who does not have the flow of structure of  above, she stands higher on rear end spoiling her topline, shown in great  condition and coat.

OB(9) 1 Metcalfe's Ch Metadale Lallique. This fully  coated red has a classic shape, firm topline, good neck, shoulders and sound  rear, she can move a little wide in front with her enthusiasm which cost her  BOB, a real quality champion, was pleased to award another CC to her list. 2  Kerslake's Devonwood Lady Alexandra.
