1st: COX, Mrs P Dolyharp Fidelio. Puppy of very nice type. He has a nice head, but he is a bit wide in skull. He is well constructed even if he is a bit long in loin. Moves very well.

2nd: JAMES, Miss Libby Johnny Thor At Daxiemoors. Nice puppy with a good head. He is well developed in body, but I would have liked to see him a bit higher over the withers. Moved quite well.

1st: MITCHELL, Miss Emily Bronia Maverick. Dog of excellent type with a nice head. Stands and moves well.

2nd: MAYSON, Ms Clarissa & NICHOLS, Ms Suzanne Charpurdy's The Baron, Nice dog which could have been a bit more forward in temperament. Stands and moves well when he wants to.

3rd: MCSORLEY, Miss Paris Barlaine Midnight Charmer

1st: LATHAM-JACKSON, Mr P & Mrs A HANISHAN NEAPOLITAN URISHAY. Dog of Excellent type. with a good head. Well-constructed, moves very well.

2nd: LOCKETT-WALTERS, Mrs Ruth Ralines Mcintosh. Superb dog of top class. which was losing out because he is too timid.

3rd: WALLACE, Mrs A RALINES JUST JILES

1st: WESTON, Mrs Kathleen & JOHNSON, Miss Victoria Ecotyne Devil's Advocate, I fell in love with this dog which ticked all the right boxes. He has a lovely head, and he had a long, slightly arched neck running smoothly into his shoulders. His chest was well developed with a pronounced keel. He was well constructed, well ribbed, and he moved freely with good drive CC. I was pleased to hear this was his 3rd!

2nd: SCOTT, Miss C M Zarcrest Flash Gordon At Gellijam. This beautiful dog was pushing hard and most of the positive comments I have made about Devil's Advocate go for this gentleman as well. It was close between them, and it could have gone either way, but in the end, I preferred the head on the winner

MPB

1st: PAIN, Mrs J E Tolberg Here's To The Future with Ravensbeech. This is a promising puppy with a good head. She has a great outline, and she is well developed for age. She moves very well.

1st: DALTON, Miss Olivia Zilcan Creme Caramel. This is a charming youngster of excellent type. She has a lovely head, an arched neck, and a suburb outline. She is well angulated with a well-developed brisket. Moved very well.

2nd: PAIN, Mrs J E Tolberg Here's To The Future with Ravensbeech. Here is another promising youngster which was trying hard. In the end she did, however, lose out on maturity

3rd: SMALL, Miss Karis Jade KENZDUO MONDAY MOJITO AT DEVONDAX

1st: HOLTOM, Miss Aimee Rivandell Osha. Here is a first-class bitch of excellent type, which has a nice head and a very nice outline. She is well constructed, and she moved very well.

2nd: SHUTT, Mrs Marie Donnadoon Oh My Diana. This bitch is very close to the winner in type and quality, but I preferred the topline on Osha.

3rd: HAM, Miss Bryony Ciselsig Cherry Valentine

PGB

1st: POOLE, Mrs M E Findowrie Jessica Rose. Nice bitch of very good type. She is well developed in body, but topline could be better. Moves well around the ring.

2nd: BOWMAN-DAVIES, Mrs V Timshaws Gold Dragon. It was a lot to like about this bitch, she has a nice head and a good outline, but I was worried about her moth which is was slightly over shot. Moved well.

1st: COX, Mrs P Cheritondax Chardonnay JW. Attractive bitch of excellent type. She has a good head, and she is well angulated with a good keel. Moved very well.

2nd: POOLE, Mrs M E Findowrie Miss McFee. Another nice bitch of excellent type. Most of what I said about the winner goes for Miss McFee, but I preferred Chardonnay’s topline.

3rd: STEPHANI, Mrs Margaret & FLETCHER, Miss A C Walnutfarm Faith

1st: BUTLER, Miss CLARE CH Minard Out Of The Darque from drymoor JW. Here was the one I had been waiting for. She was the Min Long queen of the WKC for 2023 and for me this lady stood out. She had a superb head which she carried proudly on and arched neck which fitted smoothly into her sloping shoulders. She was moderately long, low and compact with the right ground clearance. Her shoulder blades are long and placed firmly and obliquely upon a robust rib cage. Her breastbone is strong and prominent producing the desired keel. Her hindquarters are strong and well angulated which enables her to move freely with a long stride coming from an excellent action driven by her hindquarters. CC & BOB

2nd: CAREY, Miss Debbie Honeysuckle scent to me via Debbiejay JW. This was another first-class bitch which was trying her best. She has many of the winners’ virtues and I did like her a lot, but I preferred the topline and the presence of Out Of The Darque.

3rd: PAIN, Mrs J E Cwmdarhian Radio Gaga Ravensbeech
