Junior Dog or Bitch 4 entries 1 absent

1st Piggott's  Kilbourne Willow For Greyzicon16 month old bitch of good size needing to mature, just going through a change of coat.  Nice head, eyes and ears all of correct proportions. excellent length of neck leading to a well laid back shoulder and adequate return of upper arm.  Ample depth and length of body with good top line.  Moved well but was not co-operating with handler.  As already mentioned needs to mature and fill out, but very promising. 

2nd Keen's Ehlaradawn Reflections Another 16 month old bitch rather tall and like 1st needs plenty of time to mature, not quite the depth of body as 1st.  Moved well with good extension and drive.  I would like a little more bend of stifle and a better lay of shoulder but she was very well balanced with good topline and length of body.  Lovely tight feet and presented in fine condition.

A 2 1/2 year old bitch, beautiful head and expression shown in excellent hard fit condition, excellent front leading into good depth of body and spring of rib.  Good length of loin.  Correct  bend of stifle with good second thigh.  This bitch really moved well with excellent drive and reach, correct width from behind and very true in front.  Well handled.

1st & res BOB Buswell's Ghylladare Kinglas Of Glenmorlich This bitch was in superb condition for an 8 year old, still able to move round the ring with excellent drive.  Fantastic depth of body and spring of rib.  Holding her top line on the move showing how fit she still is. Lovely hind quarters with good second thigh and low set hocks.  A really nice head and expression.

Best puppy Spicers Regensburgh Grafton 10 month old boy, quite a rangy pup nice head and expression moved well holding his top line on the move.  I would like a little more width of body through out but he obviously needs lots of time.  An excellent temperament and was well presented.
