Thank you to all exhibitors who made the journey to  Kelso and my day memorable. First time CC's were on offer for this breed at  Border Union. Due to variable weather conditions I felt it safer to stay in the  tent than risk getting rained on, saying that the rough ground did make it  difficult to assess movement at times.

PD
(7,2) 1. Hunt's Carpaccio Red  Adair Lovely conical shaped head, high set ears held correctly close to the  cheek, dark, intelligent almond shaped eye and Long, muscular neck into  shoulders. Pleasing forequarters with plenty of bone to full, broad, compact  feet. Well ribbed up, strong loin holding topline, full well muscled rump  giving power and drive on the move. BP 2. Fieke's Lustrum Bachelor Boy B/T not  the hound head of 1. Good forechest, full and oval, strong loin and round,  broad rump. 3. Barnes Lutzana Zeus JRD 1 Melbourne's Bronia Machiavelli of  Melriding Lovely shaped head, slight stop, dark eye with intelligent  expression. High set ears used well. Long neck and level topline. Nice bone  broad well-arched feet.

ND
1 Fieke's Lustrum Bachelor Boy.

LD
1  Melbourne's Metadale Nikolai of Melriding S/Red another typical pleaseing head,  oval chest, giving plenty of heart and lung room. Full broad feet, nicely  arched. Strong well muscled loin, clean underline.

OD
(5,1) 1.  Blackburn's Welcumen Red Rum at Stargang. Attractive red dog, he came in the  ring with a look of ARROGANT intelligence. Well set ears used to advantage,  long muscular neck, into good layback of shoulder. Level topline and strong  loin, well ribbed up to protect those vital organs. Strong broad rump full of  muscle tone used to drive around the ring. CC & BOB. 2. Herrington's Ch  Kathington Coeur De Lion B/T another from the top drawer. Excellent conical  shaped head with slight stop, darkest almond shaped eye, good strong underjaw  with correct scissor bite. Prominent breast bone and full oval chest, correct  ground clearance. Well ribbed up, strong well muscled loin and well defined  hindquarter used to power him round the ring. RCC 3. Kent's Lokmadi Ocean's  Eleven JW.

PB.
(4) 1. Blackburn-Bennett's Stargang Evora, nothing to  hide. Feminine head of good proportions arch of neck into well placed  shoulders, chest oval and full with plenty of room for heart and lungs, strong  muscled forelegs, broad full feet. Hindquarters round, broad and good  angulations. Moved with positive drive. 2. Manacas Amber Cover at Wilmerella  Appealing red, well set ears, good clean dentition. Nice chest plenty of room  for heart and lungs. Needs time to tighten up behind not the positive action of  one. 3. Andison & Peel's Clentry Golddigga. Jr. 4 Herrington's Kathington  Chance to Dream. Super B/T elegant well muscled neck, nicely filled front and  depth of keel, well ribbed up and clean underline. Good broad full feet well  knuckled toes, which she used to move around the ring with firm free flowing  stride. One I feel for the future. 2. Kent's Lokmadi Paper Tiger. Happy out  going girl, eager to please. Feminine head of correct proportions. Level  topline, slightly longer in loin than one still in proportion. Good ground  clearance. 3. Andison & Peel's Clentry Despicable Me.

NB
(2) 1  Herrington's Kathington Chance to Dream. PG 2. Andison & Peel's Clentry  Sweetie B/T A lot to like about this girl on the stand. Elegant long neck,  strong level topline, well muscled loin. Plenty of bone and substance. A shame  she seemed to find the rough ground tricky. 2. Fieke's Lustrum April Love.  Feeling a little chilled today which did not help her topline and movement. L 2  Kent Lokmadi Hidden Dragon Red Everything in the right place. The most  appealing hazel eyes. Correct front and rear construction. Smart length and  width of ribbing. Moved with a free flowing positive stride. I had considered  her for higher honours. 2. Melbourne's Melring Berengaria B/T feminine head, as  it should be front. Pleasant ribbing and hind angulations. Good bone and very  sound. I Preferred the harder condition of 1 today.

O
(5) A lovely class  down the line and some difficult decisions to be made. 1. Blackburn-Bennett's  Sandanca Silver Lady at Stargang. Took my eye as she came in the ring with her  striking Silver dapple colour. From the tip of her nose to the end of her tail  she just flowed with excellent body type and proportions, ground clearance.  Beautiful front layback of shoulders, depth of chest and well ribbed up and  delightfully well muscled, hind angulations. She moved around the ring with  elegant driving action, CC 2. Blackburn's, Ch Sonderbar Billie Jean at  Stargang. Red Very sound keeping her topline. Charming attractive head and good  eye, long well muscled neck. Ample of bone throughout, broad feet, well arched  toes. Today preferred the ring presence of winner. 3. Hunt's Ch Cwmdarhian Back  to Alabama at Carpaccio JW. Another worthy champion.
