1st - Norris’s Willowheath Bringing Hope To Criscan
2nd - Worswick’s Dolyharp Music of the Night

Many thanks for the warm welcome that the committee gave me on my first breed show judging appointment. Thank you to my steward, Morris who kept things running smoothly and a special thank you to all the exhibitors that gave me an entry and took my decisions in a sporting manner.

1^st Norris’s willowheath Bringing Hope To Criscan 9 month old b&t bitch, such a sweet expression, lovely dark almond shaped eye, pleasing coat, well made front with decent pro sternum, under rib extending well back, short strong loin and kept a good topline on the move BOB, BPIB

2^nd Worswick’s Dolyharp Music of the night 10 month old b&t bitch, very balanced, lovely angulated quarters, good length and spring of rib, short loin, moved with drive.

1^st wallace’s willowheath Rebel Rock 2 year old b&t dog, very houndy head on a long muscular neck overall construction was pleasing with nicely angulated quarters, excellent length of rib and a decent topline, I felt that his weight today prevented higher honours.

1^st Norris’s Criscan Khesia 8 year old b&t bitch, a pleasing outline for this smart veteran great condition, nicely constructed front with good length of upper arm, super underline although a touch soft in topline, moved freely and with drive around the ring, RBOB

1^st Beach’s Riowood Arizona TAF 8 month old red brindle dog, very smart in profile displaying a balanced outline, lovely head and keen expression, prominent breastbone and good length and spring of rib, strong first thigh of decent length, his movement coming towards was not as good as going away but he maintained a level topline and I felt that he had done more than enough to win this class, pleased to award BPIB.

2^nd Hunt’s wolferlow George Brown At Carpaccio 9 month old chocolate & tan dog, A little unsettled on the table today he lacked the confidence of 1^st however he pulled it together on the move to display the correct free flowing movement.

1^st Starkey’s Carpaccio Black Obsidian For Hamoura 13 month old b&t dog, I have judged him before when he was a very raw 6 month old puppy and pleased to say that he is maturing into a really smart dog, very similar in type to 2^nd place , I liked his front construction, body was well muscled with a good underline, topline levelled out on the move which was true fore and aft.

2^nd Beach’s Beachdax Diamond Diva 10 month old b&t bitch, very good front assembly with a good depth of keel, ribbed well back with a better topline than 1^st but I preferred the movement of my winner.

1^stPaget & Carroll’s Marvale Master Of Disguise 19 month old b&t dog, very impressive outline, moderately long and low without any exaggeration lovely deep keel, excellent under rib, perfectly angulated quarters.

2^ndHunt’s Carpaccio Scarlet O’Hara nearly 3 year old shaded red bitch, smaller in frame than 1^st, very feminine head with lovely dark eye and keen expression, Good lay of shoulder and really good length of upper arm, I preferred her rear movement to that of 1^st but preferred the front movement and over all breed type of my winner.

1^st Worswick’s Dolyharp Sonata 2 year old shaded red bitch, lovely outline, front assembly was perfect, everything just flowed effortlessly, deep keel, body was well muscled with pleasing top and underlines, short loin her movement was the best in this class, RBOB.

2^nd Melbourne, Carroll & Paget’s Marvale In Cahoots With Melriding 19 month old shaded red dog, litter brother to 1^st in post grad, masculine head, super front angulation with very good length of upper arm, good pro sternum with super length an spring of rib, nicely angulated rear.

1^st Melbourne, Carroll & Paget’s Donnadoon Sea Vermillion At Marvale 2 year old shaded red bitch, looked absolutely stunning today, when stacked her outline was the most gorgeous shape, for me oozes breed type, perfectly angulated quarters ribbing was long with a strong short loin, movement was faultless, very pleased to award BOB.

2^nd Beach’s Izia Klara Difino (imp Svn) 2 year old red dog, Bigger in frame than 1^stI loved this boy’s masculine head and reach of neck, topline and underline were both pleasing and movement was ok.

Difficult to place these 2 as I preferred 2^nd when stacked but preferred movement of 1^st so….

1^st weeks’s Beldrew flora at Avon 17 month old b&t brindle bitch, super head, long neck, harsh coat, I would prefer less of a rise over the loin but moved with long free flowing strides, good reach, true fore and aft.

2^nd Manston-Teal’s lordscairnie love island 14 month old brindle bitch, in profile very smart looking, typical head, good length of neck, ribbing is good with a short loin, unfortunately lacked drive and moved without purpose today.
