I thoroughly enjoyed my day at ECDA, but I was disappointed to  find several dogs with level bites, too very narrow in front with without much  prosternum. The breed standard asks for a complete scissor bite, moderately  long and moderately low with good bone and a good spring of rib. However, on  the plus side I thought that coats have greatly improved since I last judged  them. Sadly the above points are lacking in the breed at present and greatly  influenced my placements. However, I felt my CC winners reflected the breed  standard correctly, not overdone in any department. PD. (4). 1. Rowe's,  Boloria Cadbury's Surprise. Very outgoing with lovely expresion. Good length of  rib. Good feet. A good size. Moved out with dribe. 2. Davies's, Atahira's Joie  de Bleu. Larger than winner but well constructed, excellent rear. Moved well. JD. (1). 1. Paskin's, Kindeace Blue Savannah. Brindle dog of just 14 months.  Excellent in head. Good reach of neck. Lovely quarters and nice tight feet.  Harsh coat. Moved out well. One to watch for the future just needs time. LD. (7,2). 1. Vine's, Allfrey's to Catch a Thief at Cishelvine. Brindle dog. Good  head, dark eyes. Long reachy neck. Good width in front. Keel going well back.  Enough turn of stifle. Moved well fore and aft. Well spaced, nice to see. 2.  Singleton's, Tendrow Drum Crazy Jethard. I really liked this dog in all  aspects. Good depth of muzzle, well put together. Not overly long. Good coat  and feet. Moved with dribe and purpose. OD. (2). 1. Dible's, Multi Ch.  Leibling's Stormin Norman. Red dog I have admired for a while now. A quality  dog and worthy Champion. Excellent in head and reach of neck. Well placed  shoulders. Good prosternum, ribbing going well back. Firm well made rear. Super  coat, lovely to go over. Moved true and free. CC and BOB. 2. McCalmont's, Ch.  Silvae Zealot. Lovely head on a good reach of neck, good shoulders not as  prominent forechest as winner and a tad longer. Well angulated rear. Moved out  well. RBOB. PB. (6). 1. Coverley's, Aventine Dawn Patrol. Brindle bitch  of just 9 months with good dentition. Lovely reach of neck. Good front, enough  ground clearance. Tight feet. Movement won her this class. 2. Moore's,  Romanchie Bella Bella. Smaller type bitch. A bit raw at present. Good  prosternum, sadly lacking in so many. Good reachy neck. Good coat texture. Just  needs time. JB. (3). 1. Bates and Maes Jones's, Derochaise Elegancia.  Lovely well put together little bitch with a super front assembly. Good  underline, enough ground clearance. Nice hammy quarters. Good length, harsh  coat. She had some tough competition on the day but she is only 14 months old  and has lots of time to gain great honours. Well hancled. 2. Rowe's, Derochaise  Atlantica to Bolivia. Litter sister to winner. Another lovely bitch front his  kennel. Same comments apply. Hope they both do well in the future. PGB.  (4,1). 1. Singleton's, Tendrow Dance with you Jethard. Good in head and neck,  front, not over long. Well made rear. Moved best of the three in the class. 2.  Stockdale's, Wireline Cooks Companion. Lovely red. Well made with a good reach  of neck. Excellent ribbing. Moved ok but could have given a bit more of  herself. Lots to like and more to give. LB. (13,3). 1. Phillips',  Tendrow Peaches. Super red, oozes quality. Very soundly made the right things  in the right places. Very happy nature. Well muscled. Moved true and freely.  CC. 2. Dible's, Leibling End of the Rainbow. Another nice exhibit from this  breeder. Good in head, neck, front and rear. Very sound bitch and ture on the  move. Well handled. OB. (8,1). 1. Allfrey's, Ch. Grace Kelly. I liked  this bitch, very elegant. Good head and eye. Good reach of neck. Well rounded  rear. Moved and handled well. RBOB. 2. Pugh and Fraser's, Bystock Pussy Galore.  Another lovely bitch. Small and neat with good ground clearance. Good in head,  neck, shoulders and rear. Moved out well.
