MPD (2) 1 Vine’s Cishelvine Red Admiral, lovely shaped red baby with a super personality, good head & neck, strong topline & long ribbing, lovely rounded well angulated quarters which showed when he moved. Still very much a baby & enjoying himself but with time & maturity should have a bright future. BP. JD (6) 1 Moore’s Metewand Bogen By The Sea, masculine young dog, well balanced throughout, well angulated front & rear, pronounced forechest, good head & dark eye, moved sound & true. Maturity should give him a little more style & confidence on the move; 2 McPherson & Patterson’s Fransin Brasilian Tp Panetone, taller dog but balanced in proportions, lovely head & dark eye, great style & presence, excellent topline held well, moved soundly with purpose; 3 Weatherer’s Salixian Levante via Itsuitzuz.LD (5) 1 Singleton’s Tendrow Drumm Crazy Jethard, very balanced dog who caught my eye on the first move, good size & profile, strong neck into well laid shoulders, prominent sternum, good bone & ribbing carried well back, well angulated quarters & good tailset, moved with drive using his well angulated assets to advantage. CC; 2 Seath’s Sunsong Whisper A Promise, another dog of good size & overall balance, good head & neck, strong topline held both standing & moving, good angulation front & rear, lovely short hocks. Moved well although his tail can detract from his outline at times; 3 Smith’s Salixian Eclat. OD (3) 1 McCalmont’s Ch Silvae Zealot, quality dog with lovely head & dark eye, well muscled neck & strong topline, balanced angulation front & rear, good bone, thick feet & good ribbing carried well back, moved positive & true holding his shape & outline at all times. RCC; 2 Lewis-Crooks’ Barmaud Rufus, very elegant & showy dog, great ring presence, long masculine head, strong neck & topline, well balanced throughout. Moved well but could benefit from a little more muscletone, probably a casualty of our overlong winter; 3 Skinner’s Ritterburg Storm Trooper.

MPB (4) Two very promising litter sisters. 1 Kent’s Lieblings Blarney Stone, feminine head, good neck into well laid shoulders, strong topline, good tailset & lovely well rounded quarters with short hocks, moved well & has lots of assets, just needing maturity & confidence; 2 Dible’s Lieblings In The Stone Age, slightly taller bitch but of balanced proportions throughout, good head & neck into well angulated front, strong topline which she held both standing & moving, moved well especially for a young baby; 3 Chamber’s Hototos Rashka. PB(4) 1 Vine’s Cishelvine Cazadokes, nice puppy with good proportions & a balanced profile, good neck into well laid shoulder, level topline & balanced quarters, moved the best in the class; 2 Stancliffe’s Cishelvine Vanilla Rum, elegant sister to the winner & in some ways they were alike & in others quite different, taller. More angular than her sister but with many of her attributes, just not matching her sister on the move; 3 Bliss’ Dancindac Cherry Blossom. JB (4) 1 Rowe’s Boloria Naughty But Nice, very sound bitch with good balanced outline, good head proportions, muscled neck running smoothly into strong topline with good tailset, balanced angulation front & rear, moved well. PGB(8) 1 Vine’s Cishelvine Echoes Of The Sea, lovely feminine bitch of nice size & type, feminine head & expression, well laid shoulders, prominent sternum, long ribbing, strong topline & well angulated quarters, used all her assets on the move, moving with drive & extension.
