Not a huge entry but some very good quality. But I did find some poor mouths which is worrying as this is something I have not experienced before.

MPD (1) A. PD (0). JD 1 McNaughton’s Carper A G Von Nordor, smart red who was new to me, I see he is an import, he impressed me for his breed type, correct head & front, keeps a good outline, when he settles will certainly hit the top spots. Pleased to award him RCC, one for the future. PGD 1 Seago & Gibbard’s Amlida Spirit, pleasing choc colour, masculine head, well filled front, keeps a good outline, he needs to tighten in the pasterns which made him untidy in front. Would like less wrinkle; 2 Payton’s Minalsa Mulberry of Marajo, smart red who is maturing well, good to go over keeping a good outline; 3 Stringfellow’s Sontag Silvan Sorcerer. LD 1 Tite’s Phaeland Special Driver at Rijobeau, mature red who scores well in all departments, well filled front, correct head & well sprung ribs, keeps a good outline, for me I would like a little more stride on the move; 2 Cox, Cobo & Fellows’ Ralines Dark Knight, b/t, he is a masculine boy who looks a picture stacked but for me I would like him a little narrower in front; 3 Andison & Peel’s Shardaroba’s Indian Wedding. OD 1 Armstrong’s Lauralee Nicholas Nickleby, smart stallion hound without coarseness, correct head with super eye, lovely arrogant expression, super front without exaggeration. Well placed shoulders, super spring of rib, well angulated quarter that gave thrust on the move, keeps a correct outline at all times, pleased to award him CC & BOB, congratulations, hope the 3rd comes soon; 2 McNaughton’s Cedavoch Sanquhar, smaller built red, would like a bit more ground clearance, correct front & shoulders, keeps a good outline, today I would like to see him carrying less weight; 3 Chauman & Cerasini’s Gr Ch Brownwood’s Best Gift V Diagram. VD (0).

LB 1 Bennett’s Shardaroba’s Dream Baby, pretty red bitch, a new one to me, sweet head & expression, super well filled front, correct angled shoulders, lovely arched neck, good length of keel, super ribs, nice quarters, moved with style & purpose, pleased to award her the CC; 2 Paterson’s Phaeland Sent Direct to Ambiesque, a bitch I have admired from the ringside, similar type to winner but I preferred the head of the winner; 3 Chauman’s Honey Crisp of Raajput.
