1st Barter. Ehlaradawn Feanor. Just a year old at that raw leggy stage , with little angulation. Harsh brindle coat, typical expression , strong neck into adequate lay of shoulder, good depth of chest. Good bone, tight well knuckled feet . Be interesting to see how he matures.
LD (5, 1)
1st Cummings . Killoeter Tam Dubh. Masculine workmanlike hound. Plenty of bone , strong neck , good front , lay and return of shoulder. Good rear angulation, with width between hocks , presenting a balanced picture. Feet could be tighter , strong topline which he kept on the move. Very sound mover , and once relaxed forgot to ring his tail. Pleased to award him CC.
2nd.Faircloth. Beardswood Uther. Just turned 2 years , attractive dark dog , standing over a lot of ground, typical head and expression, good front construction, but lacking rear angulation at the moment. Good spring of rib , strong loin, in fit condition. Lovely profile movement but would have liked more width behind. Will be interesting to see how he matures.

PGB (7, 3)
1st Finnet and Heathcote. Hyndsight How You Remind Me. This bitch immediately caught my eye, nothing over exaggerated but so much to like about her. Not the easiest for the handler today. Beautiful head and expression into a strong neck with balanced construction fore and aft. Good forechest, well ribbed back, correct top line. Good width behind, a long pelvis and low hocks allowed her to really move, once she settled. Pleased to award her CC and BOB.
2nd Spence. Shagiead Stormy Seas. Not quite 2 years old and a little raw. Lighter built than 1. Dark eye, long neck into good shoulder and return of upper arm. Well ribbed back. Good top line with strong loin, not quite width of thigh of 1. Moved well. Will be interesting to see how she matures.

2nd Barter. Serenity in the Silence of Ehlaradawn. A lot to like about this bitch, but not in the mood to help her handler toady, either stacked or on the move. Better front and rear construction than 3.
