LONG HAIRED

PD. (1). 1. Chapman’s, Melminds My Mate Marley. A quality baby who although stood alone he had a really pleasing shape. Good prominent breast bone with excellent feet.still feels puppyish so body condition will firm up with age. Enjoyed his day out.

JD. (4). 1. Cross’s, Loggeta John Collins. This dog has a really superb shape. Great headpiece. Long strong neck. Very arrogant and the best of toplines. Shown in superb condition and coat. 2. Walker’s, Owlery Sparticus with Petwalk. This sable dog is a great shape. Unfortunately he is very proud of his tail. Classic head piece. Good spring of rib. Strong powerful loin used his well muscled quarters on the move. Very well handled. 3. Dare’s, Bronia Salvador of Darsoms.

YD. (3). 1. Paskins’, Kindeace Laird of Lochloy. Black and tan all male stallion proud dog. Balance of head and strong underjaw. Strong beck, level topline and well muscled rear. He strode out well and was very sound. 2. Geeson’s, Abydachs Iconic. Red dog. Pleasing head but could have slightly more length to foreface. Good topline and spring of rib. Not the excellent front of winner but still ok. Shown in good body condition. 3. Cross’s, Loggeta Oniel.

PGD. (7). 1. Burke and Manston’s, Loggeta Duke of Marmalade. Red dog shown in great condition of coat and body. Proud and arrogant with a good head piece. Neat feet which were broad and deep. Correct tail carriage. 2. Oxley’s, Owlery Lewis. Pleasing type. Similar in shape to winner. Just not the arrogance of stance. Good forehand angles. Firm topline. Moved very true. 3. Negus’s, Tarramist Adonis Dream.

LD. (7). 1. Mitchell’s, Bronia Classic Legacy. This dog has a lovely well balanced body shape. Liked his headpiece with dark eyes and strong jaw. Good shoulders, firm topline when stacked and on the move. His coat was gleaming. Well handled. RCC. 2. Johnson’s, Bronia Prime Design at Africandawns. Good make and shape. Good head piece. Good layback to shoulder. Level topline. He was rather out of coat on the day so not the finish of winner but a good honest sound dog who should finish really well. 3. Sutton, Damai Master Benedict Sh CM.

OD. (7). 1. Metcalfe-Bilgin’s, Ch. Metadale Major Decision. Loved the overall balance and shape of this dog. Excellent head piece. Arched neck. Level topline when stacked and on the move where he really excelled on the day using his strong well muscled quarters at all times. Shown in full coat and superb condition. Looked really good with his movement in the big ring. CC and BOB. 2. McFaul’s, Ch/Ir Ch/Int Ch. Darsoms Zwagerson. Absolutely loved this dog for his overall make and shape, being long and low. Correct front, good feet. He unfortunately kept dropping his shoulder every now and again on the move. Shown in full coat and the best of conditions. Was expertly handled to show off his many attributes. 3. Clarke’s, Ch/Aust Ch. Tekalhaus Masterpiece.

PB. (3). 1. Mitchell’s, Bronia Enchantress. A very confident red sable who has superb moulding to head piece. Good long body giving her the desired shape. Her coat and condition were excellent. Moved well. 2. Metcalfe-Bilgin’s, Metadale Make a Decision. A very raw red baby giving away a lot in age and development. Has the makings of a good one. Moved very soundly as all these young lady dogs certainly seem to.

JB. (4). 1. Dare’s, Darsoms Zienna. I really fell for this bitch who was an easy winner in this class with her most excellent make and shape. Firmest of toplines. Firm loin, well angulated behind and very sound. 2. Chapman’s, Darsoms Ziana at Melminds. Similar in type to winner. Just not the firmness in topline. Good front and prominent breast bone and correct keel. Used strong quarters on the move. 3. Cross’s, Loggeta Ice Maiden.

YB. (1). 1. Duchesne’s, Bonavoir Golden Maze by Scandell. Sable with balance of shape. Topline just needs more firmness and strength which will come with muscle and maturity. Good feet, front, strength of quarters. Carries tail at correct angle. Shown in good condition.

PGB. (5). 1. Negus’s, Tarramist Ophelia. This bitch is so very honest and sound with correct front assembly. Level topline. Firm loin. Strong straight hocks in good body condition. 2. Cook and Rhodes’s, Bournder Frankincense. Not so confident on the day and therefore not using the power of her well angulated quarters as I am sure she can do. Good overall balance and shape. Shown in firm body condition and sympathetically handled.

LB. (5). 1. Johnson’s, Bronia Design Flair at Africandawns. Liked this bitch for her overall balance and clean shape. Good head piece and ears. Strong neck. Level long topline. She was rather out of coat but this showed her shape to full advantage and her movement and total soundness gave her this class. 2. Oxley’s, Owlery Bootilicious. 3. Negus’s, Tarramist Invocation.

OB. (6). 1. Metcalfe-Bilgin’s, Metadale Make It Happen. This was a correct sized bitch with the most exquisite of heads. Long neck, great angles to shoulders and front. Level topline at all times. She is so sound on the move with great strength to rear from her well muscled quarters. She is so sound and out moved all the other girls on the day which gave her the CC. 2. McFaul’s, Ch/Ir Ch. Dachville Perfect Blend. Superb arrogant black and tan who has the most arrogant attitude. Well angulated muscled quarters. Shown in great coat. Not quite the positive hind action of winner on the move, but easily deserved the RCC. 3. Geeson’s, Abbydachs Hot Summer Nights JW.
