Puppy dog ( 6, 2 abs) 1 Peach’s Rubeus Hagrid to Kilbourne. Very well matured ten month old dog; very well presented. Handsome masculine head, rather soft ears, good neck and front. Good topline and underline. Very strong hindquarters and scored on his ultra sound rear action and his calm character. Has rather long feet. Moved very well, especially for a baby. 2. Luckhurst Paisley Very promising seven month old dog. Head could be more masculine and front is very unfinished as yet , scored on his excellent topline. Narrow over the rear quarters as yet. Very good feet. 3 Clanardswood Sun Seeker Nine month old dog of promise. Lovely head , very good well folded ears. Good neck and front. At present is very overdone in topline, not helped by a steep croup. I feel that this is a stage and that as he grows and matures these qualities will correct themselves.
Junior ( 9, 3 abs) A very good class, overall, with little separating them. 1. Zanten-Boomgard & Jersel’s Cockaigne Chidish v d Meirse Weiden. Twelve month old dog , very well finished and well grown. Very pleasant masculine head, very good neck and excellent front, topline and underline. Lovely hindquarters, and a very good and steady mover 2. Kilbourne Max. fifteen month old dog, also very well finished. Handsome masculine head, very good neck and front. Excellent topline and strong hindquarters. Moved very well but did not use his hindquarters as well as the winner. 3 Kaleginy The Forester. Fifteen month old dog of quality, who scored in this class on his action, which was graceful and with freedom. Masculine head ears could be better folded, good neck and front. Strong topline and good hindquarters.
Yearling (8) 1 and reserve best dog; Finnett & Heathcote’s Hyndsight Desperado . 20 month old of lovely type and outline; initially somewhat put off by the carpet and the overall surroundings. He has a most lovely head, is very good over the neck and front, scoring on his excellent bone and feet. Excellent topline, and has typical somewhat drooping hindquarters. Moved with great freedom, but I must admit that I would like to have seen him outside, moving on grass. Coat could have been more tidy. 2. Greyflax Domino to Jamalison For me this dog is rather too heavy in build, but he earned his placing on his overall soundness . Strong in head, neck could be a bit longer for overall balance, good front and topline, good strong hindquarters. Moved well 3; Hyndsight to the Limit with Ladygrove. Litter brother to the winner, this dog has a somewhat more unfinished look about him. Handsome head with good ears, good neck and front, good topline and hindquarters. Moved well, very well presented and handled.
