OD. (4, 2)
1st HEATHCOTE and FINNETT. Ch Hyndsight Sinnerman. Heavily coated masculine dog. Typical head, slightly light eye, excellent neck with pronounced nape. Correct shoulder good return, deep chest. This dog is very balanced and stacks himself. Great width of second thigh and low hocks allowed him to move with power, although front movement becomes exaggerated with speed. CC.
2nd FAIRCLOTH. Ch Beardswood Uther. Another lovely male but a very different type. Much longer cast, again very well constructed, and well-muscled; moves with cadence but unfortunately dropped his top line on the move.
SPBB. (1,1)
1st BYE. Kirjojax Yeager. Nice to see this young dog enjoying herself in the ring. Needs time to mature and fill out very pretty head with neat ear good reach of neck. Good lay of shoulder but return a little short. Movement good in profile but a little untidy coming and going.
MPB (1)
1st. LLEWELLYN. Kilbourne Ocean Blue Matahari. Delightful just six months old puppy. Very well constructed a lot to like about her. Pretty head , good neck and front , a little short in sternum , classic top line with drooping croup, good width of second thigh. Moved out with balance and rhythm, certainly one to watch. BP.
PB (1)
1st LEWIS. Luckhurst Whitefeatherfal. Pretty shapely bitch, typical head carries ears well. Long neck into good lay of shoulder, deep chest and good tuck up. Good top line with correct droop of croup when stood, but lost this on the move, I sure as she matures she will relax and this will correct.
YB. (4, 0)
1st HELPS. Beardswood Verbena. This young girl really catches your eye , feminine in every way , a series of curves. Typical head , with soft expression , stong neck into well laid shoulder , deep chest with length of sternum , good tuck up. Strong wide second thigh , moved so soundly , was pleased to give her RCC.
2nd HEATHCOTE. Hyndsight Neaghley. Not too confident in the ring making life difficult for her handler, taller and not as finished as 1. Good head , long neck into very good shoulder, good fore chest and long sternum, nice tuck up with good scond thigh. Very ballenced in construction . Sadly very difficult to assess her movement today as unsure in the ring.
3rd HAVERCROFT. Kilbourne Lyra at Dragonsile.
PGB. (3,0 )
1st.STUART . Ollansheart Desdemona. Pretty head and expression , good shoulder, slightly short in return; deep chest would have liked a longer sternum , good tuck up, balanced in profile , moved lightly with cadence.
2nd. HAVERCROFT. Kilbourne Vega at Dragonsile. Pretty head and nice length of neck into good shoulder and correct return. Longer cast than 1st , and although moved soundly dropped her topline.
3rd. SEYMOUR JACKSON. Kilbourne Lucy.
LB. (3, 1)
1st. LLEWELLYN. Kilbourne Mistress Martha at Matahari. A mature girl, typical expression . Nice length of neck , into good lay of shoulder , good front , well ribbed , correct topline. which she kept on the move.
2nd OWEN & BRODIE. Wolfscastle Soul Sister . Very pretty head , well folded ears , nice pigmentation. Slightly short in neck and would have liked a better shoulder. Good deep chest with length of sternum, good second thigh. Not co operating with her handler , so movement erratic and unbalanced.
OB.(2,0)
1st. HELPS. Ch Beardswood Ulyessa. This girl just said ‘quality ‘ when I first saw her . Nothing over exaggerated , just balanced angles, fore and aft. Moved very soundly , pleased to give her the CC and BOB.
2nd . CANNON. Kilbourne Atoile to Abayomi. Another very nice bitch, not as much substance as the winner , but nicely put together with lots to like. Not helping her young handler today so movement not balanced.
