1ST      Helydon Xtra Xpecial (Misses A & A Kirkwood-Emery)

A young dog that lives up to his name. Masculine houndy head and dark eye. Good front with well placed shoulders. Ribbing extending well back. Short loin.  I particularly liked his angulation which allowed him to move freely round the ring.   RDCC

 

2ND      Gilcoru Luigi Rozamie (Mr J Magri) 

Not the maturity of 1st.  Good head and eye. Adequate front assembly.  A pleasing profile standing and on the move.

Attractive red boy who entered the ring with positive drive from strong hind quarters.  Liked his size.  Masculine head and good eye.  Ribbing extending well back. Lovely outline on the move.  Very much in tune with his handler.

1ST      Barratini Du Beke at Lokmadi (Mrs Y Kent)

Nicely proportioned. Showed a pleasing outline standing and on the move. Good bone. Well sprung ribbing to the forechest. Lengthy ribbing and short loin. Liked his size and type.  In good coat.  Strong mover with plenty of drive.  Well handled. DCC 

 

2ND      Blackvein Cupid at Janacop (Mrs J Kilroy)

Larger frame than 1st.  Good front assembly and well ribbed. Would have preferred stronger rear angulation.

11 months very feminine red with a sweet expression. Lovely head. Good length to neck. Well sprung ribbing to the chest. Well placed shoulders. Strong hind quarters.  Positive mover keeping a level topline. In good coat.  BP     

 

 

2ND      Alanea Scentimental at Rogansrock (Mrs E & Miss E Holgate)

10 month.  A well developed puppy of 10 months. Pleasing overall but rather heavy in front for me. Well sprung ribbing to the forechest. Good shoulder placement. Moved out well.

1ST      Helydon Xeptional Xaya (Misses A & A Kirkwood-Emery)

Well balanced. Good head and reach of neck. Plenty in front. Nicely angulated fore and aft.  Sound mover.

 

2ND      Bargemon Soft As Starlight for Braesnobel (Miss L Goodbrand)

Higher in leg than 1st. A pleasing exhibit that was nicely proportioned but would have preferred more fill to her front.

Movement was a little erratic today. More ring confidence is needed.
