Post Graduate Dog: 1ST Miss W Heather RAVENSBEECH ROSSINI WITH WHITEORCHARD, This 3 year old red dog was well up to size and presented in good coat. He has a nice head with correct eye and good strong teeth. He has enough neck flowing into correctly placed shoulders but when stacked is high over the loin. I would like more length to his upper arm and second thigh. He was well handled and steady on the move. BOS 2nd Mr R & Mrs J Maxwell BARDRESTAN VITAL SPARK, This is a real pin wire with nothing to hide. He has a correctly shaped head and well placed ears, a strong jaw and good teeth. Lack of facial furnishings gives him the appearance of being feminine. He has a prominent keel and his sternum travels well under him. He was a bit tense in the ring which made him roach his topline though he settled better on the move.

Open Dog: Absent

Junior Bitch: 1st Kirkwood-Emery Mrs D & Miss A & Miss A, HELYDON JINGLEBELLS. A real workman like hound of good size. Pleasing head and eye with a good length of neck running into well laid shoulders. Correct level topline with nothing overdone. Enough angulation back and front but I would like a more prominent keel and length of sternum which would give her a better underline and sufficient ribbing. In good condition and this showed as she powered around the ring to take BOB.

Post Graduate Bitch: 1st Mr R & Mrs J Maxwell, BARDRESTAN AFRICAN QUEEN, I do like this bitch. She has a typical head and eye with correct furnishings. Good length of neck into correct shoulders and a level topline. A prominent keel and her sternum goes well back giving her plenty ribbing and a good underline. Her coat was in good condition. Unfortunately when it came to the challenge for BOB she just would not perform. Hope she learns to like the showring as she should do well.
