1st: WOOD Faulksfollie Lady Gemima

VD (5) 1 Melminds Zsylvester ShCM (Chapman). Dark shaded red in excellent condition for his 10+ years. Nice head and eye, reachey neck and good layback of shoulder. Good length and strong hindquarters. Confident and happy enjoying his day and moving well with drive. 2 Ir Ch Badamtam’s via Baltica at Follypaws ShCM (Imp Fin) (Borsuk). Nice b/t looking in great form for his 12th year. Lovely masculine head and reach of neck. Preferred the shoulders on the winner as a little short in upper arm. Kept a good outline at all times, moved well. 3 Ranglewood Lantana at Kejana (Hirst)

PD (2) 1 Swansford Prestonador (Roberts). Correct size and shape, beautiful head and dark eye, excellent front, good barrelled chest and length of ribbing, correctly angulated both ends and super bone. Just needs to settle his movement. One to watch for the future. 2 Delsaux Across The Universe (Taylor & Hilton). A very attractive puppy unlucky to meet the winner. Lovely head and expression, good size with bone, strong hindquarters and moved well. Preferred the layback of shoulder and depth on the winner.

JD (2) 1 Gainscroft Dark Destroyer (Vincent). Shaded red, a nice dog with strong head, lovely eye, good front and lovely tight feet. Good overall outline both standing and on the move. Shown in excellent condition, moved soundly. 2 Cavallibrook Final Legacy at Maudaxi (Reid). This red dog was more elegant in type and a little taller. Beautifull head, reachy neck, good bone and feet. Today moving a little narrow and with slight roach in back.

PGD (2) 1 Gainscroft Dashing Dudley (Vincent). Litter brother to previous class winner and I see from my catalogue they are sired by my CC winner, both very much the same type and the same remarks apply. With this one I would just prefer a better layback of shoulder, moved with purpose and drive. 2 Swansford Archerdor (Burley & Way). Bigger built heavier type with good depth and ribbing. Preferred the head and overall compactness of the 1st. Moved well but topline tended to dip behind shoulders.

LD (7,1) 1 Ranglewood Harvest Hops (Bushell). Larger framed b/t with heavy coat but nevertheless is a nice dog. Good overall shape and nicely put together. Moved out well. 2 Bonavoir Secret Assignment Rip (Burke). Ideal sized b/t with nice houndy head and good eye, good reach of neck running into well laid back shoulders, super bone and tight feet, moved freely with good drive and purpose. 3 Cedavoch It’s Taboo at Kindeace (Paskins)

OD (4) Lovely class all were worthy of top award. 1 Ch Swansford Gregorydor (Roberts). Loved this one he is an ideal size, so full of quality with good masculine head and dark almond eye. Well placed shoulders, good forechest, length and depth of ribbing, well angulated hindquarters. Good level topline and kept outline at all times. Moved freely with reach and drive. Presented and handled well. Delighted to award him the CC. 2 Zarcrest George Clooney (Pike & Carter). Very attractive and eye catching shaded red with great ring presence and showmanship. Beautiful head and reach of neck running into well placed shoulders. Good front and forechest, well muscled and well angulated hindquarters. Moved well. Close decision. RCC 3 Ch Loggeta Trouble in Texas ShCEx (Cross) Good Citizen Dog Scheme Dog (4) 1 Swansford Carazonador (Linacre) Heavy coated shaded red of good size and overall shape. Good front and forechest. Moved soundly. 2 Ranglewood Harvest Song (Garlick) Litter brother to limit winner and very similar. Overall construction good with pleasing head, good bone and nice strong hindquarters. 3 Faulksfollie Lord Fontaroy (Wood)

vb (2) 1 Ch Cedavoch Circe (Mcnaughton). Very elegant 7 year old red in tip top condition. Correct size and shape, excellent reach of neck and well paced shoulders. Good tight feet, super bone for size, well angulated hindquarters. Moved very well. Dam of my CC winner. Best veteran. 2 Ch Abydachs Summer Dream at Kindeace ShCM VW (Paskins). This 13 year old brought a tear to my eye as she is amazing for her age but today it was a little too much for her and had to give way to a much younger model. A credit to her owner and breeder.

PB (6) 1 Swansford Patriciadora (Whitfield-Roberts). Fell in love with this impressive red baby who is just my type and has a very promising future ahead of her. Beautifully balanced with super front and shoulders, good ribbing, well angulated hindquarters and bone for her size. Showed well and enjoyed it but just needs to settle her hind movement. Best Puppy. 2 Kyrenia Queens Request with Ranglewood (Garlick). Another stunning red baby of lovely size and type, very well constructed with good flowing lines. Quality all through and one to watch for the future. 3 Drymoor Marron Glace at Boscolla (Sainsbury)

JB (2) 1 Cavallibrook Final Fling Bronia (Hanney-Mitchell). Elegant red youngster with feminine head and good expression. Nicely constructed throughout. Moved well keeping a firm level topline. 2 Gainscroft Dolly’s Dina (Vincent) Elegant b/t who is soundly made throughout. Just preferred the shoulders on the 1st.

PGB (11,2) 1 Cavallibrook Final Say at Marvale (Paget & Carroll) B/t with pleasing head and expression, long reachy neck running into well laid back shoulders. Good depth and length of ribbing. Would prefer a little more ground clearance. Litter sister to previous class winner. 2 Bronia Custom Velvet (Mitchell). Red bitch similar in type to 1st. Good front and well laid back shoulders. Level topline which she kept on the move. Close decision. 3 Zarcrest Jennifer Lawrence at Betsymira (Nicholson)

LB (10,1) 1 Brysdax Mamma Mia (Fossett). Liked this b/t a lot as she is so lovely to go over. So well constructed and in good condition. Stylish sound mover who demands attention. Well handled and I was pleased to award her the RCC. 2 Ranglewood Islay (Garlick). Another lovely red bitch, super head, lovely bone and feet, everything well put together, sound true movement round the ring. 3 Melminds Make Them Gold (Chapman)

OB (8,3) 1 Ch Cedavoch Blithe Spirit (Mcnaughton). Beautiful red and so lovely to go over, everything flows and she oozes quality. So well balanced with pleasing head and expression. Correct shoulder placement prominent forechest, good length and depth of ribbing, level topline and well angulated hindquarters. Excellent ground covering action and true coming and going. Pleased to award her the CC and BOB. 2 Ch Swansford Gleighdora (Whitfield-Roberts). Very feminine super quality bitch, excellent shoulders, depth and length of ribbing.
