PD (1) 1 Breezelyn Love You Long Time (Pike & Carter). Stunning head & eye giving a super expression, mobile ears & correct bite. He has an excellent neck, into clean, well laid shoulder, super front & feet. Good depth of chest & is well ribbed back, still needs to firm in topline but he is only 6½ months so has plenty of time. Excellent quarters which allowed him to move out well with a good stride. Shown in super coat, I think he is a very promising puppy – I see his sire was my BOB winner & I was delighted to award him BPD & BPIB.

JD (4,2) 1 Sundayshill Theodore at Borzdac (Fricker). Super head, eye & expression, excellent forehand with good bone & feet, lovely topline, tailset & quarters which were muscled well. He moved out well with a bit of style. 2 Ranglewood Finlaggan at Donnadach (O’Neill). Pleasing head & eye, not the neck of the winner. Good front, I would prefer tighter feet, good topline & body depth & very well-made quarters. Moved well.

PGD (3) 1 Gainscroft Dark Destroyer (Vincent). A very nice boy in a smaller package than the others, he has a super expression from a kind & dark eye. Excellent neck, shoulder, front, topline & quarters, good depth & he was shown in excellent condition. He moved out very well fore & aft with a good stride. 2 Faulksfollie Lord Fontaroy (Wood). Lovely head & eye, pleasing forehand, good topline, depth of chest, is well ribbed back & has good quarters. He moved out ok but not with the verve of the winner. 3 Dolan Tears of A Clown (Wedge).

OD (7,3) 1 Ch Swansford Gregorydor (Roberts). A stunning boy who I have awarded highly in the group before today. He has a head & expression to die for, he has a fearless & almost aloof expression. Arched neck into textbook shoulder construction, super keel, excellent well boned front with super feet. Super depth of chest, spring of rib & strong short loin, good tailset & excellent quarters with perfect muscle tone. He was shown in spanking coat & conditioning & moved out soundly with a good stride & a bit of class. I just love him. BD & BOB. 2 Ch Abydachs Return of The Night (Geeson). Classy boy with an air of quality, he throws a super outline both stacked & on the move. Another with a superb head, eye & expression, super forehand, excellent topline, body properties & quality quarters. Sound & true, in super coat & presented to perfection it really was a case of splitting hairs between these 2 quality males.

PB (4) 1 Breezelyn Longing for Love (Pike & Carter). A beautiful 6½ month old baby girl, she has the prettiest head & expression, super front & forehand & good depth for age. Excellent topline & quarters, she moved very well out & back with attitude. I see she is litter sister to my puppy dog winner, she pushed him hard in the challenge. BPB. 2 Tarramist Starlight (ai) (Negus). Pretty girl with kind, dark eye, good neck & shoulder, would prefer neater elbows. Super topline, underline & quarters, she moved out well. 3 Breezelyn A Long Story at Gainscroft (Vincent).

JB (5,1) 1 Abydachs Hot Patootie (Geeson). Stunning head with dark expressive eye, crested neck into clean shoulder, super well boned front, good fill in front & tight feet. Super topline, good depth of chest & ribbing, quality quarters with excellent musculature. Shown in gleaming coat & condition she moved out soundly with style & was sympathetically handled to get the very best out of her. RBB. 2 Tarramist Platinum Aria (ai) (Negus). Pretty girl with dark eye, pleasing forehand although she was tending to knuckle over on occasions. Excellent topline & very good quarters, she moved with a good stride. 3 Aurora Rude for Kendalldax (Imp Ltu) (West).

PGB (7,2) 1 The Marquis Mansion’s Atlantic C to Abydachs (Imp Nld) (Geeson). I fell in love with this pretty girl as she entered the ring, she has the most beautiful expression & captivating dark eye. Arched neck into excellent shoulders, super front & feet, she is well ribbed back with a strong loin & good underline. Sound & true out & back she used her quarters to power herself round the ring with attitude. Very close up to the top winners in the challenge. 2 Gainscroft Dolly’s Dina (Vincent). Pretty girl with a good eye & expression, pleasing neck, shoulder, front & feet. Excellent topline & quarters she moved out well, just didn’t match the winners balanced outline when stacked. 3 Delsaux Lady Madonna of Fahoogle (Barnicott & Pascoe).

OB (4,1) 1 Ch Abydachs Fire in Her Soul (Geeson). Super head & expression from her dark expressive eye, excellent forehand with super neck & shoulder, neat front & good feet. She holds her topline very well & has a super depth of chest, spring of rib & short firm loin. She is well made & muscled behind & is sound & true with a powerful stride covering the ground well. Pushed very hard by both the JB & PGB she fully deserved BB & she made sure it was not an easy decision for BOB. 2 Faulksfollie Miss Minaver at Dolans (Wedge). Pretty head, good neck & shoulder, ok front & feet. Good topline, body & quarters, she moved well but couldn’t match the stride of the winner. 3 Faulksfollie Lady Gemima (Wood).

VB (1) 1 Baltic Legacy via Amberteckel (Borsuk & Fossett). 7 yo lady with a pleasing head & kind dark eye. She is pleasing through the forehand although I would prefer tighter feet. Good depth of body, topline & quarters. Shown in excellent condition she moved out well. BVIB.
