Thank you for such a good entry, it is 10 years since I last judged longs at this level, and found that overall the dogs were beautifully presented. With the odd exception dentition was correct and teeth were clean. Heads were pleasing, coats in good condition, and fronts were prominent. However, I was surprised and disappointed to find ribbing stopped short of what I expected leaving short keels and too long a loin. Shoulders were too far forward in a number of cases. Quarters were good and movement was mostly true and parallel, however a few did not extend behind when viewed in profile. JD (7) 1 Geeson's Abydachs Oh What a Night Good head and neck, oval eye, correct mouth, good ribbing, correct angulation front and rear, moved well. C.C. B.O.B. and later was pleased to see him go R.B.I.S. 2 Atkins Kantis King of Klubs, nice head and neck, correct front, moved well. 3 Huttons Owery Majestic. ND (3) 1 Shields Abydachs A Night to Remember, Good head and neck, moved well. 2 Geeson's Abydachs One night stand, Nice head, and neck, not as good in front as 1, nice length moved well. 3 Hale:s Abydachs Night on the Town. PGD (5) 1 Hobsons Ranglewood Azures, Pleasing red dog good head and neck, nice outline, moved well. 2 Brearley and Ramsden's Darkfell Saracen of Zanadax, Larger b&t moved well. 3 Negus Shardaroba Rigel by taramist. LD (9) 1 Mitchells Bronia Monte Cristo, Pleasing head and neck running into prominent front, nice length, correct quarters, moved well R.C.C. 2 Boyles Brianolf Hi Falutin at Zarcrest, nice head and neck but neither the length nor scope of 1. 3 Warrens Metadale Monti Cristo. OD (7) 1 McFaul’s Int. Ch. Darsoms Zwagerson (CH/ IRCH), One I have judged before and liked, good masculine head on a reachy neck, nice length, powerful quarters, moved well, but did not show himself to advantage in the challenge. 2 Roberts Ch Swansford Henrikador, more compact dog, did not stride out as well as 1. 3 Mitchell, Dirksen, Gadolin & Dirkson Hound's Major Tom (Swed. Ch/ NorCh). PB (3) 1 McFauls Dachville I Got You Babe nicely put together B7T should mature well. 2 McNaughtons Cedavoch Bewitched, nicely made puppy, not the shoulders or ribbing of 1. 3 Mitchells Bronia Carmelita.

LB (2) 1 Thompsons Metadale Memories of You at Oleanca, good coated b&t, would like longer neck and better placed shoulders, moved well. 2 Plevins Morali Caol Ila, smaller bitch did not move as freely as 1. OB (9) 1 Mitchell’s Bronia Marionette, Pretty head, good length of neck running into well placed shoulders, nice length of body, strong quarters which gave her plenty of drive round the ring C.C. 2 Robert’s Swansfords Viva Dora Powerful red bitch with all the essentials, was not moving as well as I have seen her. 3 Atkins Larkland Quiety Kreme at Kantis.
