LONG HAIRED

pd
(5). 1 Geeson’s, Abydachs Incantation. Red of excellent  size and type. Masculine head without coarseness. Well sprung ribs and correct front. Moved out well and I was pleased to award him Best Puppy. 2 Oxley’s, Owlery Destroyer. Dog of pleasing type, though a heavier mould to the winner. Moved out well keeping a pleasing outline. 3. Dare’s, Bronia Classic Cool at Darsoms.

JD
(1) 1 Edwards and Pankhurst’s, Marshwick Shades of Black at Danward. Alone in this class. B/t presented in excellent coat and condition. Scores well in all departments, but for me I would like better hindquarters which would give more drive on the move.

PGD. (3). Difficult class to judge as all were different in type. 1. Metcalfe’s, Metadale Major Decision. Heavy coated red. Ok in head. Nice well filled front. Keeps a pleasing outline at all times. Moves a little close when on the move. Well handled to get the best out of him. 2. Wedge’s, Dolan Dat After Day. Red who is nice to go over but needs to tighten up all over to finish the picture. 3. Dunbar’s, Bronia Touch Stone.

LD. (3). 1. Mitchell’s, Bronia Patriarch. A very glamorous red who was presented to perfection. Excels in front with an excellent proscenium, well sprung ribs. Keeps an excellent topline on the move. Well handled to get the best out of him. 2. Oxley’s, Owlery Valentine JW Sh CM. B/t. Much heavier type to winner. Preferred the length of keel to winner. Sympathetically handled to get the best out of him. 3. Chapman’s, Melminds Mastercopy.

OD.
(4). 1. Metcalfe’s, Ch Metadale Macquarie. Very glamorous red wit a lovely straight coat. Masculine head. Lovely arched neck, correct well filled oval front. Well laid shoulders. Excellent ribbing. Moved with style and purpose. Well handled to get the best out of him. Pleased to award him the CC, pity the heat had got to him in the challenge. 2. Geeson’s, Ch. Abydachs Oh What a Night JW. Red. Different type to winner. This dog has a lot to like about him. Expertly handled to get the most out of him. Correct head and front. Moved out covering a lot of ground on the day. I preferred the overall length of winner. Pleased to award him RCC. 3. Cook and Rhodes’, Bournder Emerald Star.

PB.
(5). Difficult classes to judge as all the exhibits were of different types. 1. Dare’s, Fragglerock Rosy Martini at Darsoms. Heavy red of pleasing type. Presented in excellent condition as all were by this exhibitor. Scores well in all departments. Moved out well on the grass but for me I would like a shade smaller. 2. Oxley’s, Owlery Thumbelina. Red. Different type to winner. Nice to go over but for me I would like more length in the keel but I am sure this will come with age. Well handled to get the best out of her. 3. Geeson’s, Abydachs Intrigue.

JB.
(2). 1. Cook and Rhodes’, Bournder Royal Sappire. B/t. Pretty head. Moved ok, but tended to loose her outline on the move. 2. Mitchell’s, Brynalyn Fancy Free at Imirika. This exhibit was not being co-operative with her handler.

PGB.
(5). 1. Oxely’s, Owlery Hedi Lamar JW. Pretty elegant b/t. Has lots to like about her. Moved and showed well as all were from this kennel. 2. Metcalfe’s, Metadale Maid from Michigan. Red. Pleasing bitch which kept her outline at all times but on the day I preferred the movement of the winner. I am sure they will change places many times. 3. Bright’s, Melminds Martha Reeves.

LB. (5). 1. Mitchell’s, Bronia Playgirl. My star of the day. Red with correct head with the sweetest of expressions. Well arched neck running it to correct well placed shoulders. Excellent front with good length of keel, well sprung ribs. Super hindquarters which gave thrust on the move. She has a classical outline which she keeps at all times. She just flowed round the ring and is a joy to watch. Pleased to award her the CC and BOB and was delighted she went on to G4. Congratulations. 2. Dare’s, Bronia Huntress at Darsoms. B/t of a much larger type to my winner. Presented in excellent condition as you would expect from this exhibitor. Nice head, neck and front. Keeps a pleasing outline but preferred the winners front movement when coming towards me. 3. Geeson’s, Abydachs Hot Summer Nights JW.

OB.
(2). 1. Mitchell's, Ch. Bronia Pastiche. Litter sister to Limit winner, much the same remarks as her sister, but in the challenge preferred front movement of Limit winner for the CC. Pleased to award her the RCC. 2. Metcalfe’s, Metadale Make It happen. Smaller type to winner. Has lots to like about her. Moved out well and covered the ground with ease.
