LONG HAIRED
Thank you for giving me a really good entry, with very few absentees. Temperaments were great, & as my line-up showed, I found many lovely dogs. On the downside, I found a few dogs that were too narrow for my taste, & sadly one mouth fault. I was surprised to see later that many of my winners came from the same kennel lines. V (4,2a) 1 Cook & Rhodes' dog, Bournder Emerald Star, 8yr old shaded red. Has strong head, good shoulders & good length of ribbing, rather overcoated, but preferred his hind action to the second. 1 Sutton's bitch, Dolan Cupid Golden Dawn at Damai, red, now 9yrs old. She's very feminine, well angulated but did not use this to her advantage. Loved her coat & fringing, well presented. MPD (3) 1 Mark's Brynalyn Royal Warrior Via Labbadak, red, masculine head, good length of rib, lovely angulation both ends, moved out well. 2 Baldwin & Middleton's Darsoms Zedan, red, slightly taller than class winner, lacked his angulation & rear movement. 3 McLennan's Bronia Judas Kiss at Cheguevar. PD (3) 1 Johnson's Africandawns Night Dancer, red, masculine head, good length of rib, well angulated, excelled in hind movement, showing a clean pair of pads. BP. 2 Roberts' Swansford Dumbledor, red, loved his head, good length of rib, but movement erratic at the moment. 3 Negus' Tekelhaus Licence To Kill with Tarramist. JD (3,1a) 1 McNaughton's Cedavoch Kaballah, b/t, strong masculine head, good angulation, strode out well .but heavy coat tends to detract (shows how cold it must have been). 2 Chapman's Melminds Mr Magoo, red, handsome head, good coat, well angulated, but just erratic moving, playing his handler up. PGD (6) 1 Cross' Logetta Jon Collins, shaded red, nice head, well angulated, good ribbing, best rear movement in the class. 2 Burke & Manston's Bonavoir Trade Secret, b/t, lovely head, well angulated behind, good length of rib, much heavier coat than winner. 3 Marks' Lyrenstan Zaragoza at Labbadax. LD (8,1a) 1 Vine's Bokra Espionage, what ring presence! Arrogant shaded red, loved his head, well angulated both ends, correct shoulder placement, good length of rib, great hind movement, well presented. Considered him for Res CC. 2 Dunbar's Bronia Fernando, lovely head, set on correct shoulders, good angulation, solid movement. 3 Negus' Tarramist Adonis Dream. OD (7) Excellent class-I was spoilt for choice! 1 Johnson's Bronia Prime Design At Africandawns, red, handsome head & eye, good shoulder placement, good length of ribbing, well coated. Strode out, maintaining topline, covering the ground well. CC. 2 Mitchell's Bronia Classic Legacy, shaded red, another I liked, moved well, nothing to fault. Res CC. 3 Dare's Ch Bronia Salvadore of Darsoms. MPB (2) 1 Dare's Darsom's Zorana, red, feminine head, good shoulders, well angulated behind. I could find nothing to dislike. BPB. 2 Mitchell's Bronia Estee, b/t, good shoulders, good length of rib, looked lovely stacked, but bit close behind on movement. PB (5) 1 Justice's Africandawns Night Boogie To Liric, litter sister to winner of PD, glamorous red, lovely shoulders, good length of rib, feminine head. 2 Robert's Swansford Dipsydora, feminine head, good reach of neck, well angulated. Tended to push head forward when moving which spoilt her outline. Think she needs to relax a bit. 3 Wilson's Rogermardax Lady Tara. JB (4) 1 Justice's Africandawns Night Boogie To Liric, winner of previous class. 1 McNaughton's Cedavoch Sorceress, red, liked her stacked, but another that poked her head forward on movement. Lovely coat & condition. 2 Wilson's Rogermardax Anna Livia. PGB (8) 1 Cook's Bournder Frankinsense, red, unexaggerated head, good length of ribbing, moved out well. 2 Cross's Logetta Ice Maiden,b/t lovely shoulder angulation, excellent hind movement, I just felt that her depth of keel was a tad too deep to fit the current breed standard. 3 Chapman's Darsom's Ziana at Melminds. LB (7,1a) The first 3 in this class were outstanding. 1 Dare's Darsoms Zienna, red, just loved her, totally unexaggerated, lovely head & eye, good reach of neck, excellent shoulders, good length of ribbing, well angulated behind, strode out well CC.& BOB. 2 Mitchell's Bronia Devil Woman, nothing to dislike about this girl either - am sure they juggle for places many times. 3 McNaughton's Cedavoch Mystique. OB (8,1a) Another class of lovely bitches. 1 Boyle's Zarcrest Oh Gosh I'm Posh, red, good head & eye, lovely shoulders, good length of ribbing, strode out covering the ground well Res CC. 2 Mitchell's Ch Bronia Enchantress, another I liked, & similar comments apply here. 3 Dare's Fragglerock Rosy Martini at Darsoms.
