JD (1) 1 Mcnaughton Ch Clentry Cooking Up A Storm a 15-month-old smart looking youngster who has an attractive head of pleasing shape, proportions and expression. True, strong front with desirable, obvious fore-chest and depth, pleasing spring of rib and is ribbed well back with short loin. Firm topline. Free positive movement. A bit sensitive today which affected his presentation and outward appearance especially when being handled. PGD (3) 1 Thomson’s Clentry Storm Out I note he is litter brother to the previous class winner and has many of the conformation qualities of his brother. Would be the better with less body weight especially over the loin. He presents a very attractive profile appearance being long and low and of satisfying proportions and balance in angulations. True front with adequate fore-chest which I preferred to 2nd. Sufficient ground clearance to allow free positive movement; Better mover of the class. 2 Heel’s Daxanory Menacing Awesom a shapely 2-year-old who needs to settle to give of his best. Attractive head both in shape and proportions with a bit of a reticent expression. Pleasing clean lines all through. Good length of neck, pleasing ribbing and rear angulation. Preferred his forequarters to that of3rd. Free moving but lacking the confidence compared to 1st. 3 Nagy’s Gravelous Harbour LD (3) 1 Jones & Moes, Cwmdarhian Gordon Ramsay an impressive, nearly 4-year-old male who was free moving with pleasing extension in front. Attractive, refined head with an alert expression, clean neck of good length set into a well-made body which had spring, depth and is ribbed well back. True, strong parallel front, tight in elbows and having a strong prominent fore-chest. Presents an attractive ‘breed typical’ picture, both standing and moving being of ideal length, smooth coated with a firm level top line and correct underline. My Reserve Dog CC winner. 2 Ashby’s Rayol Dallas Cowboys At Jaxinorydax a similar looking mature 2-year-old male who has good length, proportions and balance but was unsettled which detracted from his general appearance. He has an attractive ‘breed typical’ head which is of pleasing shape and expression. Looks good when settled and standing naturally. True front and firm, angled hindquarters. Not as settled and free in movement as 1st. 3 Starkey’s Carpaccio Magnum P.i. at Hamoura OD (5,1) 1 Mcnaughton Cedavoch Rohan an impressive 3-year-old b/t male of ‘eye-catching’ breed type. Clean lines, super profile, proportions and balance. Refined masculine head and alert expression. Good width, well angulated shoulders. Notable front and forequarters with obvious fore-chest. Firm in body of good length, depth and spring and having a firm level top line. Strong, stable angulated, hindquarters of pleasing width and parallel hocks. He has enough leg length allowing free movement with definite true extension and steady drive. A handsome example of the Breed. My Dog CC winner

2 Jennings’ Marvales’s Manifesto At Jenivon another 3-year-old b/t of heavier build than 1st. Another well-constructed male. He has a sound and firm appearance both in make and shape. He shares many of the same merits of 1st but just preferred the more agile, proportioned, long and low appearance of 1st. Satisfying in fore chest with true, stable front which he used to advantage over 3rd on the move. He had purpose and extension in front movement and especially good side gait. 3 Graham’s Ch Marvale Chancellor At Ravold JW PB (4,2) 1 Mills-Jones, Moes & Williams Cwmdarhian Pina Colada a quality 7-month-old young red bitch of super make, shape and profile. Well grown having pleasing bone and body condition. She is long and low and has excellent proportions with balanced angulations front and rear presenting a very satisfying side profile. True front, pleasing fore-chest and well-made forequarters. Stands on stable, sound legs, front and rear. She has good spring and is ribbed well back with good depth giving a satisfying underline. Attractive shapely head and eye. She moved out with purpose and true front extension and rear drive with parallel width behind. Best Puppy in Breed. 2 Jennings’ Melriding True Colours At Jenivon a well grown 8-month-old very promising young b/t bitch. She has a pleasing profile and body proportions set off by a lovely head shape and expression. Not as settled as 1st nor body lines as yet but was pleasing in bone and body both standing and on the move. True front, good length body and firm top line and ok underline. Hindquarters firm, well angled; plenty of quality and promise. Moved well but not as precise in front action as 1st. JB (2) 1 Balfour’s Clentry Steal The Limelight a 15-month-old young red bitch who is well grown with pleasing bone but who is generously covered in body. Attractive head set well on to good length neck. True front and pleasing feet and fore chest which I preferred to 2nd. Level top line and nicely angled hindquarters but would be the better by losing surplus substance. The more settled mover of the class. 2 Signore Olive Sky At Daxmaison an 8-month-old b/t youngster who has pleasing bone and body. Giving lots away to maturity but needs to develop and tighten which should come in time. Pleasing head shape although appeared unhappy which influenced her expression. Unsettled on the move. PGB (5) 1 Turton’s Madrebambino Slinky Gal At Scipsar a well bodied 2½-year-old b/t bitch who is attractive in his overall make and shape. Lovely typy, feminine head, dark eyes and endearing expression; head set well on a clean neck of good length. Pleasing forequarters with true front and adequate fore chest, well bodied and ribbed well back, deep and firm in top line, with nicely angled hindquarters and parallel hocks. Pleasing make and shape having an attractive side profile with obvious depth of chest. Moved well and true with extension and drive which edged him over 2nd. 2 Mcnaughton, Clentry Steal My Thunder a 15-month-old litter sister to the Junior and Post Graduate Dog class winners. She has the same conformation and breed qualities but needs to settle to give of her best. Lovely head and expression and when settled she presents a very notable breed typical appearance. One that will undoubtedly have better days in the show ring. 3 Heel’s Daxanory Ravishing Rose LB (5,1) 1 Tomlinson’s Melisdax Memories Of May a 3-year-old b/t who was more settled than 2nd especially on the move. She has a pleasing head of fine classic lines with good length neck and well-made forequarters. True front and satisfying fore-chest and tight elbows. Desirable in overall body with good length, depth and firm level top line with strong, angulated hindquarters. Moved with true forward purpose and drive behind. 2 Ashby’s Rayol Pumpkin Pie At Jaxinorydax a 2-year-old rich red who impressed with her standing profile when settled. Stands over the ground well showing off her notable proportions and balance. Lovely head and expression. Strong neck, well-made front and forequarters, pleasing body length, spring, depth and ribbing. Disappointingly, she was unsettled at the wrong times when viewing her standing and moving. 3 Balfour’s Clentry Mango Passion ShCEx OB (4) 1 Chauhan Hundpoint Mamma Mia an impressive 14-month-old quality rich red bitch who stole the day. Striking in appearance and looks to be in her prime. She possesses well-defined, clean lines all through with ideal proportions, balance and sound conformation. She is in notable coat and firm body condition. She has an appearance that pleases the eye having a lovely, breed typical, feminine head and expression. Head set on a muscular neck; she has graceful lines with a well-proportioned firm body and a strong level top line. True, ideal width front with desirable fore-chest and tight elbows; firm, strong, broad hindquarters; pleasing angulations front and rear. Elegant in profile and head carriage both standing and moving. Pleased to award her the Bitch CC (her third I’m told) and Best of Breed. 2 Grace & Twaddle, Excellmagic Vanda Vogue At Sasilasy (imp Rus) an attractive, mature 4½-year-old red of elegant appearance. Satisfying in conformation and breed qualities. Attractive, feminine head of ideal shape, proportions and expression. She is soundly made all through with particularly pleasing front and forequarters. Ideal balance in angulations front and rear with a notable profile and good height to length proportions and having enough ground clearance to allow her to be an easy mover. Came alive on the move with a free, accurate action in front. My Reserve Bitch CC winner. 3 Tomlinson’s Melisdax Magnolia In May
