It  is always a pleasure to judge this beautiful and gentle breed. In the  most I found the bitches to be better than the dogs.

PD (4) 1 Taylor's  Kilbourne Usher To Ormanstar. 9 mths of good size and shape. Pleasing  head, neck, front and feet. Good depth of brisket for his age. Going  best of the class. 2 Peach's Kilbourne Nico. Larger than winner but  all in proportion. 7½ mths. Would have liked him to be slightly  better in head. Good bone and front with correct topline and hind  quarters. Good on the move. 3 Merrick's Pedlarspath Secret Star.

JD (5,2) 1 Codd's Greyflax Over The Moon At Gazeawhile. Lovely quality  dog with correct head and reach of neck. Good shoulder, bone and  depth of brisket. Correct rib cage and topline. Would have preferred  slightly better in hind quarters. 2 Schaanning Ling's Beardswood  Quiver. 14 mths old and still requiring more time to settle. Good  front and head, correct depth of brisket and correct topline. For me  he needs to fill out somewhat. 3 Aston's Stranwith Slate To  Balgaled.

PGD (5,1) 1 Codd's Kilbourne Wester At Gazeawhile. 22 mths old with  lovely head and expression. Good front, feet and depth of brisket.  Good rib cage and correct topline and hindquarters. Excellent on the  move. Best head and expression for the day. 2 Stabb & Taylor's  Laird Of Summerisle. 3 Wragg's Neroche Irving. Not so mature as  winner but has good front and bone. Correct shaped feet. For me he  needs to deepen in brisket but he is only young and I would have  liked him slightly stronger in hindquarters.

LD (6,1) 1, DCC & BOB Spence & Heathcote's Hyndsight Riddick.  3 yr old dog and just coming into his prime. Excellent breed type  with best of heads and expression. Good front, feet and topline.  Excellent depth of brisket and correct hind quarters. Pleasing to the  move and covering the ground well. I understand he gained his crown  on the day. 2 Seymour-Jackson's Ghiltan Hero. Much larger than  winner. Correct head, bone, feet and topline. Good hind quarters and  well muscled. Would have liked him slightly better in hind quarters.  3 Peach's Against All Odds To Kilbourne.

OD (6,1) 1 & Res DCC Adams' Ch Cscarf O'Cockaigne Imp. Excellent  head and neck, with correct bone, front, feet and topline. Good depth  of brisket. On the day he was moving a touch close behind but from  the side he has beautiful free flowing movement. 2 Hawkins Kwaricott  Asclepius. Another good dog of the correct size and shape. Good head  far seeing, with correct front, depth of brisket and good topline.  Pleasing on the move. 3 Hird Cloweswood Fagus.

PB (2) 1 & BP Peach Kilbourne Unity. Lovely youngster of the correct  size and shape and a bright future for sure. Pleasing head, eye and  ear placement. Good front, feet and topline. Nice rib cage and  hindquarters pleasing on the move. Well handled. 2 Merrick's  Pedlarspath Seren. This puppy needs a lot more time to settle and  develop. Good head with lovely dark eye. Correct length of neck. Good  bone and correct topline. Needs to settle on the move.

JB (4,2) 1 Help's  Beardswood Quiuntessence. 15 mths quality bitch. Pleasing head, neck,  front, bone and topline. Good depth of brisket for her age and  excellent hind quarters. Pleasing on the move. Pressed hard for the  Res CC but on the day her age was against her for me. 2 Bailey's  Greyflax Just Peachy This little girl just needs more time to shine.  She has it all there. Would just like her slightly better on the  move.

PGB (11,1) A difficult class to sort out with many good bitches. 1  Cooper's Aureole At Chapeltower. Good head and neck and correct  front, feet and depth of brisket. Correct topline and hindquarters.  Pleasing on the move. 2 Mansell & Duddell's Canerikie Coco  Clarissa. Another good feminine bitch with the right amount of bone.  Good feet and depth of brisket. Pleasing on the move. 3 Pursglove's  Stranwith Aria At Roguesmoor.

LB (8,2) Another strong class with some very good bitches.1 Barret's  Stranwith Ariadne. 2 yr old with pleasing head, neck, front and depth  of brisket. Good rib cage, topline and hind quarters, Best of the  class on the move. 2 Morgan's Ladygrove Calamity Jane At Amiro.  Another quality bitch at 5 yr old. Pleasing front, bone, feet and  depth of brisket. Found her to be slight tucked up in hindquarters.  Striding out on the move. 3 Taylor's Kilbourne Baccarat To  Ormanstar.

OB (8,1) 1 & BCC Helps' Rosslyn Pippa Of Beardswood What a show  girl. Excellent size and shape for a bitch with beauty feminine head  and expression. Excellent reach of neck, correct front, feet, bone  and topline. A joy to watch on the move. Winning her 2nd CC on the  day. May her 3rd come soon. 2 & Res BCC Platt's Charbonnel  Fliss. She pushed hard for the top spot and she was pushed hard by  the Junior bitch for the Res CC. In the end maturity won. Correct  size and type with good shoulder, feet and depth of brisket. Good in  hind quarters. On the day not quite the ring presence of the winner.  3 Finnett & Heathcote's Ch Hyndsight Who's That Girl.
