My second favorite variety next to my own miniature longs. I really enjoyed judging them in 2010 and enjoyed them just as much this time. The size overall I felt has come down since then, though there are still a few of the larger type around. Temperament was absolutely fantastic in all the exhibits. Heads on the whole were good but I would like to have seen more feminine heads on the girls as I like to be able to see immediately who are the boys and who are the girls. Mouths on the whole were correct, a few tail sets were incorrect too high set producing visually poor top lines.
MPD – 2 (1a)
1st Wharton’s Greyhayne Beethoven, still very much a baby, good head and expression, good coat for age, well constructed throughout, with good length of ribbing. Movement very unsettled, needs to tighten up, good furnishings.
PD – 3
1st McCalmont’s Silvae Farrago, quality dog throughout, lovely masculine head and expression, good length of neck into nicely constructed front, good forechest, well balanced, moved freely with purpose, a bit more maturity and I am sure he will pick up the CC’s in the future. RDCC & BPD & BP in Breed. Best Puppy in Show
2nd Brown’s Knottrose Juniper. Correctly proportioned head with good expression, heavier type than 1, very much still a baby and a little unsure of himself, good coat for age.

1st Moore’s Romanchi Mi’kmaq. Six and a half months, small but beautiful, loads of presence, all in proportion. Excellent head and expression, very feminine, good coat and furnishings, excellent bone, movement a little unsettled but still very much a baby, will be interested to see her mature.

1st McCalmont’s Silvae Solo. Excellent head and expression, very feminine, good reach of neck, good angulation front and rear.
