A small entry. There was more depth of quality in the bitches. I felt that some were too long for breed balance. Great temperaments throughout. Many thanks to my stewards Graham Tabeaser and Jane Towers.

1 Burgess & Page Cedarcreek The Only Way Is Up high-quality male of 16 months old I would prefer a little more leg for perfect balance but won this class well. Scoring in muzzle and ears and had more co-ordination on the move. Very good coat and tail. Looked well in the challenge and he should have a good future.
2 Raby Kaskae La Voila At Icemoon 13 months old I liked his size and leg length but at a teenage stage in body and needs to fill his good frame. When he settled, he moved soundly.

PGD (3, 2)
1 Burgess Katabatics Dark Knight 2-year-old of good size and proportions with an excellent tail. Strong skull and muzzle and neat well-placed ears. Eyes well-shaped. Good rear action. Could be better in pasterns.

LD (5, 2)
1 Ellis – Payne Chayo One In A Billion 18 months old a good winner of this class for balance and proportions and movement. Excellent bone and ribcage. Good rear and tail. Strong skull and muzzle. Ears need to firm up. Should finish well.
2 Druce Kaskae Hell Of A View At Druxie 3-year-old he is of correct size and good leg length but needs more rib. Good skull. Stop a little deep. Not the drive or stride of winner. In good coat. 

OD (5, 1) 1 Jelfs Ch Lapema Malizioso 5-year-old pleased me most for balance in this class. Broad skull and ears. Good topline and tail. I’d prefer a little more leg on his but in the challenge scored in head and ears and looked very well going round. DCC
2 Innes Icycool Hudson Bay 4-year-old has very good bone and substance. In superb coat. A little short on leg. Won this place on skull and tail. 

VD (3, 1) 2 very good veterans.
1 Tozzi Am It Ch The Magician Uniroyal has great quality and his movement and carriage are superb. Not the biggest of dogs but he has excellent bone and great topline and ribbing and tail. I would prefer smaller ears. A great show dog RDCC, Best Veteran in Breed and later Best Veteran in Show.
2 Brouard Jsy Ch Orsamals Pepe Le Peew 7-year-old. I liked a lot for leg length and topline. Goodhead. Tail a touch tight. Not in his best coat today but I preferred bone of winner.

PB (1, 0)
1 Ellis – Payne Chayo Feel The Heat 8 months old of good size and with very good guarantors which she uses well. Has the frame and now needs time to fill it. Strong head, bone and good coat and tail. Ears can settle. Best Puppy and Puppy Group 2.

PGB (3, 2)
1 Sheehan Powderhound’s Sparks Will Fly At Amaqqut stood alone out of coat which accentuated her short legs and long body. Feminine head. Good tail. She in narrow in front. Will look better with more body and coat on her. I’d prefer more bone.

LB (6, 3)
1 Page Snow Legend Zest For Life Cedarcreek 4-year-old carrying too much weight but, on the move, she looked a picture. Strong all through. Scored in topline to win this.
2 Druce & Aitchison Kaskae Ooh La La Avec Druxie 1 year old very good proportions but she is a teenager in body and can firm up. Strong head. Good mover. 

OB (9, 0) Best class of the day. One bitch I liked a lot persisted in pacing which was a pity.
1 Page Ch The Magician Bloody Mary Cedarcreek 5-year-old loved her type and proportions. In superb coat. Took my eye from the start of the class and did not disappoint. BCC & BOB and shortlisted in the group.
2 Russell Soul Of Alaska Bring Action For Redrebels 3-year-old feminine bitch but with good bone and body. Full of type in head and ears, coat and tail. I preferred the topline of the winner but she is a lovely bitch and I was happy to give her the RBCC. 

VB (4, 1)
1 Brown Ch Skidooshooz Bohemian Soul Of Cupun 8-year-old top sized bitch who has lovely proportions, movement and tails carriage. Not in her best coat but she scored in balance and on the move.
2 Brouard Dreamwolves J’adore At Orsamals Pdh
