Veteran Dog/Bitch (1)

Special Beginners Dog (1)
1st: STONE Milkwood's May Time – lovely masculine head and correct eye, good harsh jacket and presented in good condition. Good front and good underline with good ribbing just a little short in upper arm. Just needs to become a little more positive on the move to complete the picture. BSB.

Minor Puppy Dog (1)
1st WHITEHOUSE Gralinn November Air – extremely outgoing puppy who was thoroughly enjoying his day out. Lovely harsh coat that will only get better with time. Masculine head, with correct furnishing and dark almond eye. Extremely well balanced and moved so well for a youngster. Should have a bright future.

Puppy Dog (1)
1st: KILROY Janacop Sweet Child Of Mine – although stood alone in this class he was a quality puppy, who had everything in the right place. Masculine head, correct eye and ear set and dentation excellent with a strong underjaw. Lovely neck into a well laid shoulder with correct front assembly.  Excellent ribbing and short loin into strong well angulated hindquarters for a youngster.  Lovely outline when stacked but also held his outline while moving.  Powered around the ring, did consider this youngster for Res CC. BPD & BPIB.

 

Junior Dog (2)
1st: TAYLOR Moonshe Bee Linquent – lovely head and eye with a good harsh jacket. This youngster was well made in front with a good keel, and his ribbing goes well back. He had good bone although would like tidier feet. Good underline and always maintained a level topline. His positive movement won him this class.

2nd : West Mrs C & Sexton Mrs Laura Bimini Night Sky With Archidax – again this exhibit was a nice type however today he wasn’t cooperating with his handler, which made it difficult to access his movement. He did have a masculine headpiece with correct dark eye, jacket was harsh and furnishing were correct. I am sure with time and confidence this exhibit has more to give.

Post Graduate Dog (4)
1st: PEEK Miss Rebeccca S Milkwood's May Bud – lovely type with an excellent harsh coat. Pleasing balance and outline. Correct head with almond eye and ear set. Masculine expression. Good front assembly with tight elbows and well laid back shoulders. Level topline and ribbed right back. Just lacked confidence today would like to see a little more animation.
2nd: WEST & SEXTON Bimini Night Sky with Archidax - again this exhibit was a nice type however today he wasn’t cooperating with his handler, which made it difficult to access his movement. He did have a masculine headpiece with correct dark eye, jacket was harsh and furnishing were correct. I am sure with time and confidence this exhibit has more to give.

 

Limit Dog (5,1)
1st: MULLEN Rozelle Fools Gold – red with a super coat. Masculine head and correct expression, with correct dark almond eyes. Everything was in proportion on this male and nothing over exaggerated. Good neck into correctly shoulders with a good upper arm. Good proportions and ground clearance. Good front assembly with tight elbows and good bone and feet. Moved soundly out and back.
2nd: KIRKWOOD-EMERY Helydon Xtra Xpecial JW – again a lot of the same comments apply as to No 1. A harsh coat and very little to fault on this exhibit also. I just felt that the rear action on No 1 today was slightly better. I am sure these two will change places.


Open Dog (10,1)
1st: CORMONIAS Ch Almarxils Diego for Ruichango JW (Imp Esp) – this male caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring and certainly, he did not disappoint on the table. I loved his masculine head and expression with dark pigment and darkest of eyes being the correct shape. He just flowed from nose to tail, and nothing was out of place on this male. His front and shoulder placement was excellent, and his ribbing was right back with a short loin into well-muscled hind quarters. He moved with confidence and drive round the ring and could not be denied the CC & BOB.
2nd: ROSE Ridnaflight Gilcoru Gino – again another exhibit that as full of quality. Pleasing head with correct eye and ear set. Correct front assembly with tight fitting elbows and tight feet with good ground clearance.  Nice neck into correct shoulders and ribbing was right back with a short loin into well-muscled hindquarters. Moved soundly and pleased to award him the Res CC.

 

 Veteran Dog (1)
1st: MILLS- JONES Ch Carlita Sunrise JW – a very worthy champion, and one that certainly today did not show his age. Had a very hard jacket and was presented in excellent condition. Pleasing masculine head, dark almond eyes and a good mouth with a strong underjaw. Correct front and shoulders with an excellent topline which he held while moving. Was sound out and back.

 

 Special Beginner Bitch (3,1)
1st: HOLGATE Alanea Scentimental at Rogansrock – well-presented bitch who had a nice coat. Pleasing head and eye with correct front and shoulders. Correct mouth and good dentition. Nice ribbing and good ground clearance.  Just needs to settle on the move as was a little erratic today. 
2nd: JASKOLSKA Dachshington Cassiopeia – again a well presented and handled exhibit. Pleasing head and eye, though was taller in type and did not have the front I would have liked. Moved soundly with a level topline.


Minor Puppy Bitch (3)
1st: KIRKWOOD-EMERY Helydon Yer Yolo – lovely well put together youngster with a lot to like. Super feminine conical head with correct dark almond eye. Correct mouth with a good underjaw. Excellent front with tight elbows with correct bone and good underline. Correct proportions and certainly moved soundly always carrying a level topline. I think this exhibit will have a bright future.
2nd: KAY Kimbleholme Reelo Kaytian – pleasing for size with a super harsh coat. Correct head, eye with a good front and nice ribbing. Moved ok however just needs to settle on topline and drop into her quarters. 


Puppy Bitch (2)
1st: CHUGG Templestowe Martini Sec – found both these exhibits hard to access and both require more ringcraft to give more confidence to puppies plus owners. Pleasing headpiece, correct eye and good dentition. Had a pleasing outline when settled on the table.
2nd: COVENEY Templestowe Margareta – again a lot of the comments apply to this exhibit, was pleasing to go over however just not cooperating today at all, especially on the move. 

Junior Bitch (5)
1st: MUGGLETON & MAGRI Rozmie Respectable – lovely type with excellent headpiece, correct eye and expression. Excellent coat and presented in good condition. Correct front assembly, tight elbows with good length of ribbing. Moved out soundly with purpose and drive.
2nd: MULLEN Rozelle Buffalo Gal – again a lovely exhibit and was splitting hairs between both bitches. Just felt that No 1 had a harsher coat and was more positive with front movement. Really moved soundly behind.

 

Post Graduate Bitch (10)
1st: KIRKWOOD-EMERY Helydon Xeptional Xaya JW – correct for size and again a lovely type from this kennel. Ultra feminine head, and correct eye shape. Flowing neck into correct well laid shoulders. Ribbing went right back and had a short loin. Excellent harsh coat and presented in good condition. Good ground clearance and moved soundly with purpose and drive. Full of confidence.
2nd: LINDFIELD Zabannah Firestar – again another pleasing exhibit with good proportions. Feminine head with correct expression. Good length of neck into well placed shoulders. Good front, bone and feet. Notes say has a lovely outline, however, today was little unsettled on the move.

 

Limit Bitch (10, 2)
1st: O'CONNELL Almarxils Flamenco Dancer At Llennocor – quality exhibit that was a clear winner in this class. Classic feminine headpiece with correct eye and beautiful expression. Everything was in the right place. Flowing neck into text book shoulders with correct front assembly. Tight elbows with good bone and feet. Beautiful outline and moved soundly. I did consider this bitch for top honours, however in the challenge she was a bit apprehensive coming and going.
2nd: JONES Bimini Moonlight – again another quality exhibit. Lovely head and eye, with correct furnishings. Clean neck with good shoulder placement and excellent front assembly. Harsh coat and presented in excellent condition. Good feet, bone and correct ribbing. Always moved soundly with a level topline.

Open Bitch (7)
1st: DANCE Emem Hazel Sunshine – Top notch bitch presented and handled in excellent condition. Super head and expression with correct furnishings. Super neck into well placed shoulders with excellent front assembly. Tight elbows, with good bone and feet. Ribbing right back with short loin into well angulated hindquarters. Always moved with drive carrying level topline. No hesitation awarding this exhibit the BCC. 
2nd: KIRKWOOD-EMERY Ch Helydon Tartan Talula JW – another worthy ch from this kennel. Presented and handled in tip top condition. Feminine head, dark correct eye and ear set. Good dentition and correct furnishings. Excellent front assembly with tight fitting elbows. Well laid back shoulder into a level topline.  Good ground clearance and moved with purpose out and back.
 

Veteran Dog/Bitch (1)
1st: WEST Ch Archidax Dark Phoenix – stood alone but a very worthy exhibit. 7 yrs old and certainly didn’t disappoint. Everything was in the right place, with good coat well presented.  She moved so soundly for a veteran. Pleased to award her RBCC and BVIB.
