My thanks to the Committee of LKA for the invitation and to the exhibitors who attended this spacious indoor venue. A big ring is always a benefit to our free moving breed and my winners were able to demonstrate true easy Deerhound movement. My thanks to my two excellent stewards Jane and Simon for keeping things moving so well.

1. Turners Aileynill Grey Birds. Very raw youngster rather overawed by his surroundings today. Typical male expression with dark eye and reasonable ear carriage. Rather upright in front, reasonable depth of ribcage and length of back at this stage of his development. Movement needs to settle.

1. Constantines Ormanstar Cosmo at Kaleginy. Well built young dog with pleasant head carried on a strong neck. Well balanced angulation, and good depth to rib cage. Stands on good feet and moved well in profile but still needs to settle coming and going.

2. Quintons Kirjojax Harris. Well boned dog with good width and depth throughout. Preferred his topline to that of 1 but is shorter coupled.
