PD (2) 1. Robert’s  Swandsford Gabrieldor

Seventh month old puppy , super conical shaped  head masculine but not over done , good ear set ,correct bite and dark eye. Good keel , and legs well under ,tight feet. Lovely angulation front and rear with  a good topline and strong quarters .A joy to watch moving very composed for a puppy excelled for me in reach and drive . His  super neck and shoulders gave him the edge over my RBD  BD BOB & BP

2. Eve’s Sundayshill Benedict

Six month old puppy lacking the maturity of first ,and being naughty today .

Correct head proportions strong bite . I would like to see a little more keel , balanced fore and aft just struggling to hold his topline on the move this will settle with maturity ok coming and going .

PB (1) 1. Wedge’s Danton Fire Dancer at Dolans

A ten month old pretty bitch nice dark eye and correct bite . A little more forward in shoulders than I would like , well ribbed with good proportions. True coming and going topline improved when she settled into her stride.

JB (2,1) 1. Vincent’s Tan Socks at Gainscroft

Just out of puppy and not settled to day. I would prefer a little more length in foreface and ear set lower,  strong jaws , correct bite and a lovely dark eye. Shoulders ok enough length of rib in good  condition and coat moved ok

A pretty head of correct proportions and shape with a  nice dark  oval eye .  Oval chest  good ribs well muscled and in coat .Moved soundly I would just prefer a little more ground clearance

A quality four year old , lovely head with a soft feminine expression . Well developed keel , good in neck and front , level topline, and super quarters ,

Lovely to watch on the move showing great reach and drive beautifully presented . Delighted to award her BB she only narrowly lost out to PD who stole my heart.

Unfortunate to come up against the first a lot to like about this bitch just not in as good condition  today. Pretty head good neck , shoulders could have a little more lay back, correct proportions and tail set . Moved soundly RBB
