South Wales Kennel Association 2006 Critique

PD 1 and Best Puppy, Lord Seafield at Hartvalley. A quality youngster who is well grown with a good head and dark eye. Nice neck and shoulder, well bodied with good legs and feet. Moved soundly. 2 Wolfscastle Finlay. Nice one but preferred the head of the winner. Needs to body up but I am sure this will come with age. Good quarters and moved freely. 3 Killoeter Luss.

JD 1 Packway Vision of Wildtor. A promising young dog with an elegant head and good neck and shoulder. Good powerful body and strong quarters, moved freely and well. 2 Clanardwood Sovereign. A very immature youngster with a typical head and dark eye. Nice length of neck, needs more body and I felt he was rather flat in topline. Good quarters but very erratic on the move on the day.

PGD 1 Kilbourne Macallan. A dog teeming with quality, good head and eye and a nice length of neck. Good body and topline and good legs and feet. Strong quarters and moved well. 2 Wolfscastle Wood Melick. A fine and elegant dog with an attractive head. Good body, tends to move rather wide in front. Strong quarters. 3 Hawk Wind.

LD 1 Greyflax Myth to Kilbourne. A good masculine dog with an elegant head and strong neck. Well bodied with good quarters and a good second thigh. Moved well. 2 Kenmilltri Jock. Close up. Is a very true, honest dog with a quality head, nice neck and shoulder and well bodied. Moved freely and well. 3 Killoeter Grilse.

OD 1 and CC, Kilbourne Nimrod. A quality dog with a good head and eye, nice neck and shoulders and a deep body and good topline. Strong quarters and moved well and with drive. I was delighted to learn that this was his 3rd CC, congratulations. 2 and Res CC, Ch Hyndsight Wind of Change. Close up and another quality dog, very little to choose between them. I just preferred the front movement of the winner. 3 Greybrows Storm's Mr Huggi of Berrylands.

PB 1 Wolfscastle Fidela. A promising puppy with a pretty feminine head, good body for age and strong quarters. Moved well for one so young. 2 Claoinaglen Shira. A young puppy with a nice head, good body. Very much ‘a baby’ on the day on the move, but shows a lot of promise.

JB 1 Pingleholl Ruby to Kilbourne. A quality bitch and such a showgirl, she has an attractive head and dark eye, nice length of neck, well bodied and a good topline. Lovely free mover. To be critical I would like a little less white. 2 Gentom Ovation. Another nice one with a good head, strong neck and good shoulders. Not quite such a free mover as the winner. 3 Kilbourne Olivia.

PGB 1 Greyflax A Kind of Magic JW. A well made bitch with a pretty feminine head, good neck and layback of shoulder. Well bodied and moved freely. 2 Kilbourne Violet. Close up, typical head and well bodied. Strong quarters with strong second thigh. Moved well. 3 Wolfscastle Wild Orchid.

LB 1 Ghylladare Kinglas of Glenmorlich. This bitch has a fine head, nice length of neck and a deep body, strong quarters. Moved soundly. 2 Modhish Lilly Langtree. Another nice one which could easily change places with the winner on another day. She has a pretty feminine head, good neck and layback of shoulder. Well bodied with nice legs and feet. Moved soundly. 3 Greyflax Waterloo Sunset.

OB 1 CC and BOB, Ch Hyndsight Au Fait. An elegant bitch with a classic head and dark eye. Good strong neck and well laid shoulder, strong well muscled quarters which enabled her to move effortlessly and with plenty of drive. 2 and Res CC, Neroche Halistra. Another one teeming with quality and has all the essentials. 3 Hydfron Ula for Zandahar.
