rstly a very big thank you to the exhibitors who patiently waited for the judging. Unfortunately I was unable to commence judging in another ring which would have been my preferred choice. I felt the quality of the exhibits was very good and it was a pleasure to go over them with one of my BOB's going through to Group 3.

JD(1) 1 Paskin's Bronia Mr Tod At Kindeace. Very pleasing 11 month old dog well up for size. Good bone, straight in front with good angulation. Height to length of correct proportion. Head well balanced, dark eye. Moved with a nice steady action around the ring. BP.

PGD(1) 1 Lindsay's Bronia Plutus. RBD. This one has all the essentials. Deep in chest forequarters well placed shoulders with good straight bone. Holding his topline well on the move. Slightly long in the loin but still well proportioned.

OD(1) 1 Mitchell's Ch Bronia Mr Pepys. BOB. It was a privilege to go over this boy. Outstanding in all aspects. Excellent shape of head, well balanced with lovely dark almond eyes. Strong long neck with a slight arch following through to well placed shoulder. Straight front. Excellent depth of chest, showing well in front. Body of good ratio height to length and not over long in the loin. Covered the ring with ease on the move. I was very pleased to see him take Group 3.

JB(4, 2) 1 Mitchell's Bronia Miss Moppet. BB, BP. A quality bitch who I understand is the daughter of my BOB. Not in her best of coats today, but that does not detract from her overall outline. Again, that lovely head shape, well balanced, muzzle to skull ratio. Dark eye. Straight strong forequarters, deep in chest and not overlong in the loin, good rear quarters. Moved well. 2 Paskin's Kindeace Rita Ora. Nothing to dislike about this girl, my only criticism is that she was carrying a little too much weight which spoilt her overall outline. Strong, rear quarters which ensured that she covered the ring well. Good depth of chest, not quite the forefront of first. Well placed shoulders.

OB(2) 1 McNaughton's Cedavoch Kismet. RBB. Very nice bitch and I like her overall proportions. Clean neck and shoulders following through to deep chest. Level topline on the move, good hindquarters giving driving rear action. Pleasing in head and eye, well balanced. 2 Paskin's Abydachs Summer Dream At Kindeace ShCM. Feminine bitch, clean neck and shoulders, just carrying a little too much weight today. Good depth of chest, length of back and correct loin. Moved well.
