Many thanks to exhibitors for your entry for my fist CC appointment in this variety.  Due to time of year some were more out of coat than others but coats will grow back and as always I put more emphasis on type , construction and movement.   I felt that some were overweight and as such this affected movement.    I found temperaments were good with all exhibits being easy to handle.

Great start to the day.   Great for type and quality 14 month shaded red  who has matured well ,   balanced head  which was carried well and good eye shape,   strong bone feet,     long neck clean flow into sound front assembly with well laid shoulders and good length and set of upper arm,     well filled front and correct keel follow through ,   ribbing of good length and depth adding to correct underline ,   strong loins and excellent quarters which were used to advantage,    well-muscled, moved so true fore and aft but it was his free efficient profile that sealed not only the CC but BOB ,  so pleased to see him go group 4.

Elegant  boy of lovely overall type and quality,   good size and well balanced throughout,  masculine head set on long neck into excellent well filled front assembly,   stands on full closed feet,  sufficient ground clearance ,  shoulders and upper arm of good length and placement,     well ribbed back and strong through the couplings,  broad rump and sound quarters used to drive ,  moving so true fore and aft with correct width ,    pleased to award him a very worthy RCC.

2^nd – Pike , Carter and Harris , Zarcrest Huw Grant

Glamourous boy who in my opinion was carrying a little extra weight today,  he is good to go over with a well filled oval front ,  good ribbing ,   up and down he was very true and moved well in profile.

1^st – Pike & Carters ,  Zarcrest George Clooney

Another glamorous boy with good conditioning ,   good head and eye,   well boned and standing on deep strong feet,   he has sound quarters which he used to advantage on the move,   moving true up and down and covered  ground well in profile whilst keeping a strong topline helped to win this class today.  

2^nd – Metcalfe-Bilgin ,   Metadale Monteray Jack

 Lot to like about him ,  lovely head and eye providing the desired expression ,    very  good size and well balanced along with sufficient ground clearance,   well ribbed with correct top and underlines ,   in good coat and conditioning ,   although true fore and aft I felt he was capable of putting more in on the move.

1^st -  Roberts,  Swansford Glendadora

Really liked this feminine youngsters  attitude and happy temperament she was enjoying herself and it was great to see,   lovely head and long neck ,   well balanced with very good front and quarters to match ,    she moved as one would expect with her construction although with added enthusiasm ,   she was considered for higher award but in my humble opinion I think she still needs to mature and finish like her litter brother has ,   I think the best is yet to come and I will watch her with interest in the future.

2^nd – Foleys,  Loggeta Wynn By Myles

Shaded red who is good for size and height to length ratio,   she has strong closed feet,   well ribbed ,  kept her topline on the move.

1^st – Metcalfe- Bilgin,   Metadale Margarita

For me she is full of breed type and quality,   so feminine with pretty head and correct eyes to give true expression,  long neck to sound oval well filled front assembly and correct length of keel ,   laid back shoulders with good length and set of upper arm,   ribs are deep and extend back,   strong through the loins,   quarters are sound and well angulated,   so true fore and aft and once her experienced charge gets her going she can cover the ground with extension and drive,    pleased to award her  first CC I was informed ,   if she is shown to advantage on the move as in the challenge today she should surely make up.
