My thanks to all exhibitors for their entry and the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions.   Quite a few close decisions in some classes,  the main faults being lack of forechest,  front angulation and ribbing.  Most were well covered and presentation on the whole was pretty good.   Pity about the amount of baiting on the table, it’s difficult to assess a dog that is constantly looking for titbits instead of concentrating on standing still.

Veteran Dog (4,1a)

1.   Rose’ CH. RIDANFLIGHT RICARDO.   What can I say about this lovely boy, now 10 years old and still moving like a 2 yr.old. I awarded him his 3rd CC about 8 years ago and my opinion of him hasn’t changed, he has an excellent front assembly, is well ribbed and has sound well rounded quarters with action to match.   He moves totally parallel fore and aft and maintains his super outline on the move. Pleased to award him the DOG CC & BEST VETERAN.
2. Jones’ CH. BIMINI STARSTRUCK. Another lovely male, 8 year old son of Ricardo, well balanced throughout, super forehand, ribbing and hindquarters, he moves true coming & going, excellent coat presentation, he has many of his dad’s qualities , close up for Res.CC.
3. Fitzherbert Stewart & Tomsett’s DAJEAN STARSTRUCK.  Youngest of the trio at 7, nice type, he moved soundly and enjoyed his day out.

Minor Puppy Dog (2)

1. Tomsett’s DAJEAN CHOCOLATE CHARMER.  This baby scored on his movement today over his kennel mate, needs to mature but he is quite nicely constructed with  pronounced forechest, tight elbows, firm topline, well turned stifles, he moved true fore & aft.
2. Tomsett’s DAJEAN’S RED SUN.  I preferred head shape & coat texture to above but he was a little overawed today and this showed in his movement, longer cast with good length of ribbing, well boned, nice hind angulation.  Just needs to gain confidence.

Puppy Dog (8,2a)

1. Blackburn’s STARGANG PLUTONIUM.   Very attractive baby carrying a balanced outline which he held on the move, lovely head shape, dark eye, good reach of neck leading into well placed shoulders, neat front, level backline, well turned stifles, he moved with parallel action, a quality youngster, close up for BP.
2. Sexton & Dasilva’s MOLLONEY WOODY OR WON’T HE AT ERTEKES.  Nicely balanced pup with masculine head & expression, well ribbed with sufficient pro-sternum, good body depth, would like a tighter elbow, true movement fore & aft, nice harsh coat.
3. DAJEAN CHOCOLATE CHARMER.

Junior Dog (5)

1.  Dance’s EMEM SOLAR POWER.  Liked this boy for his free flowing movement, balanced head with lovely expression, good length of neck, sound front assembly with tight elbows, ribbing carried back, well turned stifles, super coat presentation, parallel movement coming & going and he maintained a nice outline.
2. Ciprian’s KING JUAN CARLOS VITORAZ Jr It Ch/ Jr Port Ch/ Jr Croatian C/ Jr Malte. Masculine head, nice almond eye, correct ear carriage, good length of neck & body, sufficient depth of keel & rib, well boned, good bend of stifle, moving true in front, perhaps a shade wide behind.
3. Gilkes DEREHEATH SHAKEN NOT STIRRED AT BIRICHINO.  Quite a nicely balanced young dog with good head shape, nice expression, lovely type, well presented harsh coat, moves away well, level when stacked, slight tendency to run up behind on the move.

Yearling Dog (8,1a)

 1…Black’s BOTHLYN BACK IN BLACK BASSODON.  Well boned 15 month boy of good    type, reachy neck, sufficient pro-sternum with depth of chest & ribbing, good bend of stifle, he holds his topline both stacked & on the move, parallel coming & going away, just a tad fond of his stern but he was really enjoying his day.

2.  Fulton’s BOTHLYN TRAIL BLAZE.  Nicely balanced boy with a lovely outline,  good head shape & ear carriage, sound front assembly, well ribbed, good length & depth of body, he moved true, I liked this lad but unfortunately his handler held him back which spoilt his side gait.
3. KING JUAN CARLOS VITORAZ Jr It Ch/ Jr Port Ch/ Jr Croatian Ch/ Jr Malte.

Post Graduate Dog (9)

1.  Tomsett’s DAJEAN SURELY A STAR.  This boy moved out really well, he has a deep forechest with ribbing carried well back, masculine head & expression, firm topline, would like a little more turn of stifle but he was parallel fore & aft, nice harsh jacket.
2. Thompson’s IRENIDAE SEA STAR. Attractive red with balanced outline, good topline & tailset, neat front, well rounded quarters, a sound little dog that moved true fore & aft maintaining his outline, preferred coat of 1.
3. Phillips’ GULLIAGH LOGANBERRY OF ROBINSWOOD.  Masculine head & expression, well boned with adequate ribbing, moved out well.

Limit Dog (10)

1.  Rose & Blackburn’s STARGANG POT OF GOLD AT RIDANFLIGHT.  Lovely red with masculine correctly shaped head & dark eye, good length of neck leading into a sound front assembly, nice top & underline, just the right amount of hind angulation, he moved with drive, parallel fore & aft.
2. Zwoferink Schut’s QUEENLORD PLANCK EPOCH. Bigger framed male that gained his place from his lovely shape & outline, he has a masculine head & expression, good neck length & body proportions, well turned stifles, level backline that he retained on the move, well presented.
3. Kirkwood’s BEETLEJUICE VITORAZ AT HELYDON.  This boy is quite masculine, has a nice outline, good bone & substance, moved soundly.

Open Dog  (11,4a)

1.  Smith’s CH.ALNCROFT IVAN INKLING.  Balanced little dog of correct size, lovely head & expression, good neck ,super forehand with chest fitting neatly into crook, deep keel & ribbing, firm level topline, well turned stifles, he moved soundly with parallel action, well handled & presented. RES. CC.
2. Mills-Jones CARLITA SUNRISE.  Smart lad with a lovely outline, good neck leading into nice layback & deep forechest, well boned, ribbing carried back with good top & underline, sound quarters which he used well on the move.
3. Saletti’s MULTI CH.LUX DEL PALATINO CHACCO BLUE.  This boy was nice to go over and moved with drive but for me he was two sizes too big but he deserved his place here.
