JD 1 Stephenson’s Ohotnichyi Azart Fahrenheit von Wistex, a 9 months dark brindle puppy, full of confidence, not paying any attention to his handler & thoroughly enjoying himself! He has a masculine, “houndy” head, kind expression & a dark almond shaped eye, lovely wire jacket that would benefit from some attention! He presented on the day as a very happy chap with a super temperament, who moved out well with drive & enthusiasm, but physically I felt he was a very raw baby with lots of potential, & would benefit from time to strengthen & mature. BPD. PGD 1 Feetham’s Kimbleholme Jackpot, 21 months brindle, with a “houndy”, masculine head & a dark almond shaped eye.

JB 1 Fulton’s Bothlyn Miss Money Penny, an 8 months, r/br puppy who is maturing nicely. She has a lovely, feminine, conical shaped head, almond eye, & well set on ears. Her neck is slightly arched & long, creating a very elegant look. Her front & rearquarters have lovely angulation & are well constructed. She has well laid back shoulders, a prominent pro-sternum, oval well filled forechest, deep brisket & good length of keel supporting ribbing that is well sprung & carried well back to a strong loin. Her rearquarters are broad & well developed with “hammy” thighs & a well turned stifle. She stands on good bone & neat feet which she used to move once settled with drive & enthusiasm, elbows neatly by her side, maintaining her topline, & was true & parallel out & back. She presented a lovely balanced picture, her underline gradually blending into her abdomen, & her front & rearquarters looking as if they belonged together. She was a joy to “go over” everything just flowed, & it was my pleasure to award her BP, BB, & BOB. Loved her. PGB 1 Fulton’s Bothlyn Dancing Queen, another nice bitch from this kennel, a choc/br, with a conical shaped head an almond eye & a good reach of neck.

On the day I preferred the overall balance & underline of the winner; 3 Stephenson’s Bothlyn Indigo Blue at Wistex. OB 1 Shone’s Phantasia Lady, brindle bitch, who has a lovely, conical head, dark almond shaped eye & strong jaw.

Her ribs are well sprung & carried back into a short, strong loin & a broad well developed rump. She has lovely “hammy” thighs, a good bend of stifle, super harsh wire jacket & stands on strong bone & neat feet. Her movement was difficult to assess, she would not cooperate with her handler, & was very erratic on times, & on the day, unfortunately, it cost her higher honours.
