SMOOTH HAIRED

PD(2) 1 Gatheral-Graham’s Phaeland Screw Driver. A bit unsettled by a jet taking off, but saw enough to convince me his movement was sound, lovely head and neck, well ribbed with good bone and feet, promising, put down in hard muscular condition. 2 Naylor’s Adnerb Storm Trooper Of Maryhazel. Lovely head and temperament, well developed forechest and ribbed well back, was a bit of a worm when being stacked but eventually showed himself to have a good topline and well put together, a little less weight would help, just needs experience to improve his placing.

JD(2, 1) 1 Naylor’s Adnerb Storm Trooper Of Maryhazel.

PGD(2, 1) 1 Burrell’s Lauralee Northern Echo. Well balanced b/t who has matured very well, cleanly chiselled, masculine head, well laid shoulder, nice keel and elbow placement, nicely arched neck, firm topline, broad, powerful quarters, giving good drive, more positive handling in the challenge could have paid off. Was close up.

LD(3, 2) 1 Morrison’s Marictur Honour Restored. Well constructed red dog, nicely chiselled head of finer build but has quality, good length of neck, level topline, not over long, with good turn of stifle, strong quarters, tail a touch high set but went well, especially in front.

OD(4) 1 Cooper’s Ch Sontag Simon Le Bone JW. Quite a stunner, long, aristocratic head with a touch of Roman nose, elegant neck and sweep of underline, well ribbed back to broad muscular hams, strode out really well and stood out here in a very good class. CC. 2 Dalgety’s Thundergay Archduke. Similar proportions to above, lovely chiselled head, well set on to nicely arched neck flowing smoothly into withers, firm topline and quarters, good croup and tail set, went freely keeping his topline. RCC. 3 Hunt’s Am CH Bessdachs Beam Me Up At Carpaccio (Imp).

PB(3) 1 Williams’ Rijobeau Innet Tu Winnit By Cwmdarhian. Very smart young red puppy, classy head but would like a stronger muzzle, otherwise little to fault, lovely neck and lay of shoulder, elbows well under her excellent topline and overall shape, good croup and moved freely. BP. 2 Gatheral-Graham’s Phaeland Dark N Smooth. B/t of equal merit, probably the better head but didn’t make the most of herself on the move, however, she is sound and shapely and more experience is all she needs to go to the top. 3 Dent’s Phaeland Starla Dancer.

PGB(2) 1 Dalgety’s Thundergay My Fair Lady. Very well constructed b/t, feminine head, dark eye, excellent in front and front movement, really liked her, not over long and with good ground clearance, firm muscular loin, broad croup and thighs and well placed elbow, a slight blip in underline could not deny her the RCC. 2 Gatheral-Graham’s Rijobeau League Of Honour. Red bitch, very full of herself, head of good length, nicely arched neck, well laid shoulder, clean wither, level topline, moved well when paying attention, close up.

LB(4) 1 Cooper’s Lauralee Coco Pops To Sontag. Super choc bitch with lots of character and quality, well bodied, super shape when stacked and on the move, very well muscled with strong quarters, giving plenty of drive, topped off with a lovely head with the slight Roman nose for that superior look, excellent mover. CC and BOB. 2 Turner’s Marictur Uptown Madam JW. B/t with very good front, well laid shoulder and elbow placement, good return of upper arm and depth of keel, clean underline and moved out freely. 3 Hunt’s Lauralee Miss Chokky Wokey At Carpaccio.

OB(2) 1 Turner’s Marictur Moulin Rouge. Neat bitch, feminine head, slight roll over wither but firm muscular topline and loin, deep chest, well ribbed back, strong quarters, solidly built all through and moved well fore and aft. 2 Melbourne’s Lauralee Take That To Melriding. B/t, very elegant, beautiful long well chiselled head and swan like neck, well ribbed back with clean underline, just not the strength in quarters on the move of winner.
