Thank you for a quality entry I enjoyed the appointment I found temperaments overall were good, I was impressed with the coats and presentation, I was surprised to find one or two suspect mouths.
Many thanks to Paignton Committee for the invitation and to my two hard working
stewards on the day.

1st: CARRUTHERS Ch Aikton Alexander at Stanegate. My DCC on the day and I liked
everything about him, presented in great order with a super front assembly,
depth, ribbing, shoulder and return of upper arm giving him an impressive front
and fore chest with good keel, with enough ground clearance which enabled him to
move with much style and purpose. he is a stallion of a dog and has presence
both on the stack and on the move.
2nd: PHILLIPS Ch Royal Pepper's Vice Versa (Imp Fin) Another super dog and close
up to the winner, and similar remarks apply, maybe a touch higher on the leg and
although he moved with much purpose not with quite the verve of my winner on the
day RDCC.

back well.

holding her top line well today.
Minor Puppy Bitch (2)
1st: MATTHEWS Sonham Twice as Nice. Loved everything about this W/B, she has a
lovely head and eye, she is so well made all through, super front assembly,
couplings, ribbing a well angled rear end, she moved with style and purpose for
one so young, BPIB really pleased to watch her win a strong Puppy Group later in
the day.
2nd: PUGHE & FRASER Bystock Blue Orchid. Another lovely puppy although not
quite the finish in head of my winner at the moment, she was very much a baby

ribbing and body, she has a great coat she moved well just needs to settle.
Puppy Bitch (3)
1st: MATTHEWS, Mrs Alison Sonham Twice as Nice

and depth, she moved with style just not the purpose off her back end of the
winner
3rd: SEATH Sunsong Hopes And Dreams.
Junior Bitch (4)
1st: HUTCHINGS, Mrs F Collidach Raynee Day. A red built on a slightly larger
frame, she has a very well made front assembly, good ribbing, couplings and rear
angles, a bit in between coats today and needed to settle coming back towards.

presented in great coat not quite the angulation of the winner in front or rear
but she did move soundly.

the day, she has a beautiful head and keen eye, standing on super bone and feet,
great front assembly, she was well ribbed back, with good topline held on the
move and was angled well at the rear which she used with purpose. I called her
up to challenge for the RCC, just not the maturity or precision in movement of
the older bitches today. She has time and I will watch her career with interest.
2nd: PARROTT Derochaise Blue Angel at Marondera. A lovely W/B again with lots to
like, she had a good neck into a well laid shoulder though not as good here as
my winner, lovely bone and feet she was well coupled and moved well.

good forechest and balanced rear angles and she moved well, though could lose a
bit of weight to advantage.

but didn’t quite have the front angles of the winner, she did move well off her
back end
Open Bitch (10,2)
The class of the day that was an absolute pleasure to judge.
1st: HOWLETT & PHILLIPS Ch Tendrow Makes the Right turn JW. She was everything I
was looking for on the day she is of a lovely size, her head is balanced and
correct, she has a great neck and front assembly, ribbing and body properties,
she is well ribbed which is carried well back, her front and rear angles are
balanced which enables her to move with the correct amount of reach and drive
which she did with much style and purpose, it was a pleasure to award her the
BCC & B.O.B and I enjoyed watching her top a super Hound Group a few weeks
later.
2nd: MCCALMONT & HANNEY Ch Silvae Time After Time at Bronia. Just a shade more
of her than my winner but not too heavy or coarse, she again had lots to like,
lovely head and eye, super front and ribbing, good body properties and rear
angles and again a great mover RBCC.
