MPD (4,1a) 1 Bye’s Nixophel Greyflint, 8 months nice sound puppy who moved well & has promise in conformation, excellent shoulders & front, nice topline with correct rise, straight in front & needs to tighten his movement. Excellent rear conformation with correct first & second thigh, nice feet, excellent temperament, loves the world; 2 Wolfscastle Draig, nice 8 month old though not quite together as 1. Moved soundly but also needs to tighten in front. Not quite so curvy in the rear but still very sound. Excellent temperament as were all the puppies; 3 Phillips’ All that Jazz for Ladygrove.

PD (3,1) 1 Phillips’ All Guns Blazing for Ladygrove, really nice 8 months puppy with a nice head, good length of neck leading into really good shoulders, moving true with a good topline with correct rise over quarters, nice curvy rear with excellent tail carriage & once again a really superb temperament; 2 Peach’s Kilbourne Brigadierr, 9 months nice happy puppy with correct ears leading into a good lay of shoulder. Sound in front but needs to strengthen in rear. Good body & coat & overall moved well & was showing promise.

PGD (6) 1 Taylor’s Kilbourne James Dene to Ormanstar, light grey. 1 & 2 were equal in movement but 1 looked better standing. Excellent neck, shoulder with a fair topline & adequate curves in rear, good first & second thigh & was good in body & coat; 2 Francis & Blatchford’s Cloweswood Acer of Peopleton, I thought at first this was going to be my winner of the class, good neck & shoulder placement, moved well & had an excellent temperament; 3 Wilson’s Hamiltonhill Fred D Mercury.

LD (7,2) 1 Piggott’s Greyzicon Blythe Spirit, best mover in this class with a nice head, excellent ears, good shoulder & forechest with a fair topline. A little steep in croup but curvy in rearend, moving well; 2 Lucas & Dargonne’s Packway Aconcoqae, 5 years, went well but I would like to have seen the tail carriage a little lower but he stood out in this class.

OD (5,1) 1 Rhodes & Morton’s Ch Gentom Peacemaker, not looking old but looking mature for his years, very controlled movement with his excellent head, neck, shoulders, front & rear angulation, a movement to die for, I was pleased to judge him. CC, BOB & last 6 in group; 2 Helps’ Ch Greyfriars Gille of Beardswood, different type to 1 but a lovely dog with all the attributes of 1 but 1 just carried it off. Excellent dog; 3 Peach’s Ch Wild Went von der Oclmuhle.

PB (7,3) 1 Bailey’s Greyflax Crystal, 11 months, very nice puppy who stood really well when she got it together, moved well. Sweet head, good neck & front & rear.

BP; 2 Taylor’s Kilbourne Baccarat to Ormanstar, very similar to 1 but not so mature, there was very little to choose between them both. Good head, neck & topline, moved well & I look forward to seeing her in the future; 3 Bunce’s Pantawick Aethelwyne.
