It was a great honour to be asked to judge at Crufts and I thank the exhibitors for entering their dogs and accepting my decisions very sportingly. Many thanks to my two stewards for keeping my ring running smoothly, especially the old master, Bill Evans! There were many top quality dogs for me to go over but I was still very disappointed with many of the dogs shoulder constructions, short, steep upper arms seem very commonplace. On the plus side, the heads on most are good with only a small number of incorrect bites. I was very happy with most of my winners, and I thought all my principal winners excellent, all with correct reach and drive on the move. My two ticket winners were beautiful moving around together and the final nod for BOB was my hardest decision of the day. 
VD (6, 1) 1 Moore & Coverley's Ch/Ir Ch Ex Sentia I'm Bond James Bond (Imp Pol). I believe I gave this young man his first ever Res CC several years ago and he still looks well. Beautiful head, correct eye, long neck, well laid shoulder, correct pro-sternum, good bone and ribbing, correctly angulated quarters, moved very soundly, harsh coat. 2 Carter's Romanchi Alkansea. Lovely head and eye, heavier type than my winner, good forechest, bone and feet, ribbing carried well back, balanced quarters which he really used on the move, tail set a bit high. 3 Schlosser's Apollon Q-rrens Von Hungary (ATC AT00137HUN). This dog has a beautiful head, correct eye shape and colour, good harsh coat, not quite enough forechest and depth for me but kept his outline on the move with correct extension fore and aft. 
PD (3) 1 Sorensen's Tendrow Time After Time. Red boy with a very good coat, lovely head and eye, excellent pro-sternum, good shoulder placement, good ribbing, balanced quarters, extends well on the move but topline needs to settle. 2 Vig's Q-rrens-Dax Enzo-Topazo. Different type entirely from my winner. Correct head, dark oval eye, harsh jacket, not enough forechest and depth to ribbing but very balanced rear, moved out well. 3 Carter's Romanchi Stargazer. This puppy was rather in two pieces at the moment. He had a beautiful head, long neck, good bone and feet, fair ribbing, fair quarters. On the move he was sound enough fore and aft but didn't keep his outline. 
JD (2) 1 Bellamy's Veenen Onyx Resetin Gold At Garjay. This dog kept a nice outline on the move. He had the correct shaped head, dark almond eye, would have preferred a better layback of shoulder, good pro-sternum and excellent ribbing, well angulated and muscled quarters, sound. 2 Herrod's Kindeace Wish You Were Here. Again a good head, eye, ear set, decent neck, good bone and feet, excellent ribbing, he could do with a little more angulation for me but he was completely balanced and moved soundly, super temperament. 
PGD (8) 1 Vine's Derochaise Justified For Chiselvine. Good head, correct eye shape and colour, good neck and shoulder placement, good pro-sternum, correct ribbing, well angulated quarters, high tail set, detracts a little, super bone and feet, harsh jacket, super outline on the move with correct extension. 2 Wharton & Pughe's Derochaise Black Tarquin. Litter mate to my winner and many of the same remarks apply, he is a very smart young man. I just preferred the shoulder of my winner, he moved with good drive from very well balanced rear. 3 Sorensen's Jethard Just Jive. Beautifully balanced head, dark almond eye, long neck, little upright in shoulder, excellent ribbing, good top and underline, sound on the move. 
LD (13, 1) 1 McPherson & Patterson's Treis Pinheiros Obi Kenobi SW (Imp Esp) Gib Jun Ch. I thought this dog was absolutely super, correct head and dark almond eye, good ear set, good neck running into well laid shoulder, good pro-sternum, excellent ribbing, correctly balanced quarters, good bone and feet, moved correctly fore and aft and in profile, super reach and drive keeping a super outline. My CC winner today. Loved him. 2 McCalmont's Silvae Quantum. A bigger dog all round. Super long head, correct almond eye, long neck, good layback of shoulder, would have preferred slightly longer upper arm, excellent pro-sternum and length of ribbing, well developed quarters, tail a little high set, moved with excellent reach and drive. 3 Langridge's Tendrow Elberta. Slightly plainer in head, correct eye shape and colour, excellent bone and feet. He won his place on his balanced outline and overall soundness. 
OD (11) Quality dogs down the line in this class. 1 McCalmont's Ch Silvae Farrago. Super headpiece, dark eye, good ear set, good neck and shoulder, good ribbing, good top and underline, well balanced quarters, tail a bit high set, good harsh jacket, moved soundly. Res CC. 2 Phillips' Ch Tendrow Replayed In Blue. Completely different type from the winner but equally as good. I was really torn between the two, both had excellent virtues, both beautifully balanced on the move which I love. Again excellent in construction with a good head, correct eye shape and colour, good angulation front and rear, good bone, well padded feet. Harsh jacket. 3 McPherson & Patterson's Ch Fransin Brasilian TP Panettone (Imp Ita) ShCM. Good head, neck and shoulder placement, excellent bone and feet, long ribbing, excellent quarters, moved soundly and with good drive. 
GCD (1) 1 Weatherer's Salixian Levante Via Itsuitzuz. Correct head, good bone and feet, ribbing carried well back, harsh coat, well balanced happy boy. Sound. 
VB (2) 1 Patton's CIB/Ir Ch Lesandnic Liberthine. Super head on this girl, correct eye shape and colour, lovely front, correct bone and feet, good ribbing, correctly angulated quarters, very good on the move with good extension. 2 Rollinson's Ch Nosinllor Joan Of Arc. Another very sound girl. Not quite the shoulders of my winner, but otherwise a very good quality exhibit with excellent bone, correctly angulated rear and excellent length of ribbing, good harsh coat, sound moving around. 
PB (4, 1) 1 Phillips' Tendrow Time 'N' Time Again. Very nice type of puppy, good head, eye, long neck, excellent shoulder placement, good shoulder blade to upper arm ratio, excellent pro-sternum, good ribbing carried well back, beautifully balanced quarters, moved out well, if she had behaved better she could well have snatched BP from her sister. 2 Pughe & Fraser's Miss Tamara At Bystock. Different type from my winner but also with lots of quality. Good head, keeps a good top and underline, slightly more upright in shoulder and would have preferred more length to her ribbing but nevertheless very sound with great extension from the rear. 3 Wharton's Lady Giselle Of Greyhayne. 
JB (9, 2) 1 Phillips' Tendrow A Page In Time. This puppy certainly is full of herself. Her handler had to work quite hard to keep her attention! Excellent head, correct almond dark eye, good ear set, good neck running into well laid shoulders, good pro-sternum, excellent bone and feet, really well balanced quarters with correct rear pasterns, harsh coat, moved well and with a certain spirit. 2 Bubb's Rocinda Dora For Wyeknot. Very pretty bitch of good type. She had a good head, bone, feet and ribbing. I would have preferred a little more upper arm and also a little more length to second thigh to allow a bit more length of stride, but she is balanced. 3 Vertes' Idesuss Jujjdejo HJCh (ATC AS03157HUN). Much taller type with an excellent head, neck and shoulder, good pro-sternum, balanced front and rear, excellent coat, absolutely sound. 
PGB (12, 2) 1 Wharton's Greyhayne Lotty Merry. Very honest bitch of good type, pleasing head, good forechest and ribbing, decent shoulder angulation, well balanced hindquarters, kept her outline in profile and moved true coming and going. 2 Clayton-Smith's Boloria's April Fool. Attractive head, good forechest and bone, would prefer a little better length of upper arm, good balance to her quarters, tail a little high set, lovely temperament and absolutely sound on the move. 3 Bates & Maes-Jones' Derochaise Frosted Orchid. Very close up to the second placed bitch here with many similar virtues. She also has a very attractive head and is very balanced throughout. I felt she was slightly narrower coming towards me today. 
LB (12, 1) 1 Vine's Gravetye Kiss Me Kate Cishelvine. Very nice type of bitch with a pretty head, dark eye, good ear set, correct neck running into well placed and angulated shoulder, correct pro-sternum, long ribbing, strong well angulated quarters, moved parallel fore and aft and kept a good outline with correct extension on the move. 2 Paterson's Ambiesque Agna. Taller type of bitch with a good outline and plenty of elegance. She was very balanced with good bone and excellent drive from her quarters. I would have liked longer ribbing. 3 Patton's Lesandnic Snow Fairy. Best coat in the class. Good head with underjaw, good eye shape, long neck, well laid shoulder, excellent bone and ribbing, balanced in angulation, happy temperament, moved well. 
OB (10, 2) 1 McCalmont's Ch Silvae Solo. These clever breeders consistantly bring out top quality stock, all of them presented to perfection in the perfect coat and body condition. Beautiful bitch to go over, everything in the right place, the best of heads, dark almond eye, good neck, good lay of shoulder, prominent forechest, excellent bone and feet, ribs carried well back to super quarters, she moves with correct reach and drive with good width through her quarters and looks as if she could do it all day. My CC and BOB. I was thrilled to see her perform well in the Group and finish a very good second. Well done. 2 Phillips' Ch Tendrow Peaches. Another top quality bitch with lots to offer. I watcher her in the Group a couple of years ago at Crufts and thought she looked lovely. Beautifully balanced all through with super construction and she certainly knows how to move. I am sure these two bitches can easily change places another day but today Solo had the edge on condition. 3 Rowe's Boloria Naughty But Nice ShCM. Chocolate and tan bitch of good breed type. Head ok, eye a little rounder, good forechest, bone and ribbing, excellent first and second thigh, good muscletone, moved well and with great enthusiasm. Well handled. 
GCB (2) 1 Lady Giselle Of Greyhayne. 2 Brontillow Lady Dane.
