Not the biggest of entries but some quality dogs my DCC I was told had been my BPIB last time I judged & he had matured on so well & my BCC who I made BOB was pushed hard by a stunning Vet bitch who took the RCC all were of such high quality.

PD (1)
1 Ellis’ Chayo Cause Celebre. 10 mth old with lots of appeal well developed head with ex expression straight front with good bone firm body muscled quarters & tail well set on. Moved & handled to advantage. BPIB.

PGD (3)
1 Woodhead’s Noraisy Take my Breath Away. This young male was in full bloom with a broad masculine head & appealing expression. Well off for bone his body was firm & his quarters had good angulation & muscle tone moved out with drive.
2 Botterill’s Cinneli Canadian Ace. Nothing to hide with this young man as he had left his coat at home but he had an ex head strong bone & pleasing outline moved well.

LD (8,2)
1 Smith’s Snowshoes King’s Legacy Sh CM. This 3 ½ yr old was on top form with everything coming together both standing & on the move I just loved his head which had the most appealing expression straight front tight feet strong bone correct topline & full well carried tail & he excelled on the move. His coat & condition was pristine & I was pleased to award him the CC.
2 Page & Jarvis’ Cedarcreek Frozen Asset JW. Another superb example of the breed I was really splitting hairs with these placings so much to like about him. He had the size substance & overall balance that continued thru to his steady yet powerful movement.

OD (6,1)
1 Page & Sheehan’s Ch Cedarcreek Frozen River. Powerful looking male who had plenty of bone & substance with strong head straight front well placed shoulders leading into a firm topline deep chest & well muscled quarters. Moved out so well just needed a bit more coat on the day to complete the picture but well deserved the RCC.
2 Ellis & Nevinson’s Chayo Golden Touch. A sound well bodied male who was very well handled & presented looked the part standing just didn’t have his mind on the job today.

PGB (3)
1 Dobson & Wolfe’s Sutarka La Dolle Vita. At 22 mths this young lady was so sound & made an ex shape both standing & on the move. She had a strong but feminine head with a lovely expression firm body well developed quarters & presented in good coat & condition.
2 Barstow’;s Cinneli Polar Maple at Ayakulik. Lovely make & shape not in full coat but that didn’t detract from her obvious qualities. Very attractive head good length of neck & correct topline moved out soundly.

LB (8,5)
1 Dobson & Wolfe’s Sutarka La Dolle Vita.
2 Brown’s Skidooshooz Bohemian Soul of Cupun. Well made bitch strong head but retaining her femininity another not in full coat but she was well handled to get the best out of her moved ok.

OB (5,1)
1 Ellis Ch Chayo Blue Diamond. Head proportions, bone, substance coat & condition everything I was looking for in one package coupled with true sound movement this bitch has it all. She has a classic head, strong bone & well angulated muscled quarters plenty of body her full coat & high set tail completes the picture. BCC & BOB pleased to hear she took G4.
2 Woodhead’s Koromandel Rushin Around at Noraisy. Soundly constructed bitch who had a perfuse coat that made her look a bit stuffy but underneath she was firm & well muscled. Very attractive head straight front good angulation & moved out with drive.

VB (5,1)
1 Page’s Cedarcreek Exquisite. I sometime feel the veterans are overlooked in the challenge but that couldn’t be the case today as this 8yr old was a force to be reckoned with. She was put down in the most ex condition & was handled to show off her many virtues her head was classic with a mischievous expression that endeared me to her immediately coupled with her overall balance & ring presence . And she out moved some of the youngsters to take the RCC I was thrilled to hear she took VG3.
2 Butler’s Arcticdawns Free & Easy at Kaytoo. Another lovely bitch who was on her toes & beat off some lovely bitches to take this place. Sound & well presented it was difficult to believe she was 11yrs old & like the class winner she moved & showed her heart out after a long day.
