1st: NEGUS Tarramist Iron Man BD, RBOB 

This boy was on form and impossible to ignore, correct size, elegant yet masculine, so well-proportioned with well-defined features, good front, shoulders, ribbing, nice tidy underline, well rounded quarters which he puts to such good use on the move, lovely reach in front extension and powerful drive from behind. One I have admired as a puppy and he did not disappoint today, winning BD and RBB in good company.

1st:  NEGUS Tarramist Dom Perignon RBD 

Another from this kennel I have admired ringside, good length of neck, correct shoulder and front construction, level topline and underline, ribbing goes well back and good angulation on rear. On the move he has good reach in front with enough drive behind to give good ground clearance and retain the level and low appearance. Close up in the challenge, I preferred his kennel mates ring presence and enthusiasm on the move.

2nd: GEESON & GEISER Am Ch Insight's Captain Clutch (Imp) 

Taller, more elegant type, finer well chiselled head, kindly expression. Correct balance in front construction, good ribbing, strong top line, tidy underline with good clearance and well angulated rear. Good feet. Moves with power and drive, not over exaggerated. Correct coat showing clean outlines.

1st: CALLOW Garthorne Gold Dust

Pretty girl, smaller finer type, has a lovely frame and good driving movement, when she settles and matures on will be one to watch, I feel she has some growing up to do and would like her more relaxed, it will come in time.

1st: CLARKE Tekalhaus MillionTo One RBB 

Flashy girl, very elegant, good head, topline, ribbing and well angulated rear, I would like a little more angulation in the shoulder. Was behaving like a teen ager, keen to get on, she will settle with maturity and show her beautiful movement to her advantage, looked good stacked and fills the eye, pleasing in all areas, I felt she needs to fill out a little, another who should mature on very nicely.

2nd: NEGUS  Dachslur Diamond Desire At Tarramist 

very balanced when stacked and kept a good shape on the move, Lovely head, correct front assembly, firm top line, good angulation and ground clearance, another moving with strength and drive, sound solid type.

I love everything about this lady. She oozes type and she fits our standard so well, correct head and eye, lovely shoulders, topline and underline, not too tall but still clears the ground well moving with elegance and power, Good length of rib, beautiful hindquarters and solid all through, sound as a bell and in peak condition.

2nd: GEESON Mrs J F Abydachs Giving Off Sparks

Not as mature as winner but already has lots to offer. This young lady has so much quality, correct size, prettiest of heads, lovely pigment, good length of neck, correct shoulder placement, well off for front and ribbing, well formed and angulated rear and she covers the ground with such ease. I am sure she will trouble the very best,
