1. Hooley’s Black Stripe at Dakkalfar
Smaller in stature but very much in proportion. Balanced headpiece with neat small well furred ears. He has a very full coat of good texture. Moderate in bone, I particularly liked his angulation and nice short hocks. He moved well in all directions with plenty of enthusiasm.
2. Anderton-Tyers’Katabatics Hardcore Hevy at Flintsky.
This youngster is of good size for age. He has a very kind yet alert expression. Lovely dark eye obliquely set. Broad skull and muzzle. Muscular neck Longer cast than 1. Excellent bone and feet , Correct coat texture, Beautifully presented. I feel he is going through a growth spurt as he was not as composed on the move as 1 today.

1. Perfitt’s Samjoe ShadowhunterJW
Lovely young male who is balanced all through and has a super temperament. Handsome headpiece with good breadth to skull and muzzle, correct stop, good bite and dark almond shaped eyes obliquely set. Ears well set and well furred of good, thick, leather. Excellent pigment. Super angles front and rear. I did not have to hunt for the prosternum through his thick dense coat, which was of correct texture and excellently presented. The tail was a little tight at times but it was well set and he was obviously very happy and content as it was waving permanently. Good bone for age and size nice short straight hocks. This dog shows good reach and drive with plenty of power on the move and covered the ground with ease, he just wants to go so needs to be given more lead to fully express that. Seriously considered in the challenge.

Lovely small triangular well furred ears wer3 of thick leather and well set and in proportion to his head. Broad skull and muzzle with nice tight flews. Lovely soft yet inquisitive expression. Strong neck into well laid shoulder. Deep chest and well sprung rib. Slight slope to topline. Correctly set and carried tail which showed a lovely waving plume. Front and rear angulation very well balanced. He has a good bend of stifle and large tight feet and strong pasterns, which some lacked today. His coat was of correct harsh texture with a woolly dense undercoat and he was presented and handled to perfection today. His movement was faultless today providing reach, power and drive with a super footfall and completely sound gait. He really dug deep in the challenge and was awarded BOB. I was delighted to support him ringside in the group to see him awarded WG3 later in the day.

1. Sheehans Powderhounds Sparks Will Fly at Amaqqut. (IMP USA )
My first comments in my notes were “so pretty” and that she was. Darkest of eye, slight stop and well set ears. She looked as though she was permanently smiling. Very gentle nature but showing confidence and that she was enjoying herself. She was out of coat, however you could clearly see her outline. Having a well balanced outline and balanced angulation. Lovely large feet and good bone and substance. Looking at guard hairs she should come back into coat with a full coat and what was there was of good texture. Good bend of stifle and well let down hocks. Sympathetically handled to bring out the best in her, she moved well in all directions and I hear she was short listed in the puppy Group.
2. Hooley’s Bartkennels Ljolsalfar.
Smaller in stature but nice proportions Pretty head and expression. Dark eye Good front assembly and firm topline. Could not assess rear fully as she spooked but angulation looked good just stood a little out at rear but covered the ground well in all directions.

1. Copley-Holland’s Katabatic Troubleshooter.
Lovely youngster who presented well in profile. Pretty well balanced headpiece with strong yet feminine features. Good pigment. Of good bone and size for age and not overdone in any way. Slight slope to topline and well let down hock, good tail set and carriage. She has a lot of energy and wants to use it. She covered the ground plenty of ground but being held back she was unsettled in the rear.

2.Walker’s SLO CH Lueldar Got Something To Say To You.
This young seal and white has a very typey outline and beautiful headpiece. Feminine in features yet retaining strength. Everything is in proportion from her dark almond shaped eyes to her small triangular ears of thick leather and well furred. Good arch to neck, well sprung rib and good breadth and depth to chest. Well balanced angulation front and back. Super coat texture and presented in tip top condition. Super bone and substance for size. She covered the ground well with a purposeful, powerful gait.
