Hyndsight Blades to the Wind
A very handsome young dog, big, strong, attractive in almost every way. Classical head with excellent chiseling and length, slight roman nose, attractive expression. Long neck with a nape. Very good layback of upper arm, he stands very well over his front legs. Deep chested. Excellent topline, covering good ground. He will need to strengthen quite a lot in his hindquarters and is very generously angulated behind, but when he gets that right, this will be a champion for sure. Excellent coat.

Ormanstar Dark Shadow
An excellent young dog, very typey as he combines substance and elegance to perfection and has a beautiful outline. Head of good length, beautiful expression. Excellent ears. Attractive nape of neck, excellent shoulder and return of upper arm. Attractive topline with a typical fall-away. Excellent legs, he stands very well over his feet. Well developed in his body. He kept his balance and shape on the move and moved with energy, but could perfect his front movement. Excellent coat, well presented

Packway Herons Ghyll
Another attractive dog with very pleasing proportions and outline. Fair enough head, if too pronounced stop. Excellent ears, dark and expressive eyes. Medium length of neck and front angulation. Pleasing topline and underline, very good depth and has enough spring of rib. Balanced angulation behind. He moved with excellent co-ordination, light on his feet and parallel in front, a bit narrow behind. Reasonable coat.

Kilbourne Merak
A dog that impresses for overall balance, type and outline. Masculine head with excellent length, could do with darker eyes. Correct rose ears. Strong neck with a nape. Moderately angulated in front, I would prefer some more spring of pastern. Very shapely in his body with beautiful topline and underline. Well angulated behind. He keeps his lovely outline on the move and moved with energy and purpose. Excellent coat, well presented.

Hunkydory Bowie to Kilbourne
A beautiful type of dog, very handsome on the stack. Still needs to develope some more bone and substance. Excellent head and expression, very good ears. Crested neck. Lovely outline, very much a deerhound. Balanced angulation behind. Not nearly as sound as the winner in movement which was a shame. Well handled. Pleasing coat.

Ch. Hyndsight Sinnerman
A very dynamic dog with plenty of agility, strength and purpose about him. Attractive head with quality and good length, medium dark eyes. Excellent rose ears. Strong neck with an attractive nape. Good return of upper arm. Would prefer more spring of pastern. Shapely body with excellent topline and a correct fall-away, making for an attractive outline. Strong thighs and well angulated behind. He truly came into his own in movement, displaying a rare level of strength, drive and suppleness for the breed and with attractive spring to his movement. Excellent coat. Well presented. CC & BOB.

Ch. Greyflax Diamond Joe at Jamalison
Another very attractive dog, he has class and type. Excellent head, masculine, long and with quality. Long neck with a beautiful nape. Quite good front, deep chest. Excellent topline including very good fall-away and excellent underline. His coat has much more structure than it looks from a distance. His rather ungenerous hindquarters let him down on the day. Still a positive and sound mover. RCC.

Ch. Baskevyns Aragon of Isildur
An elegant dog in good condition for his age. He has a beautiful head with dark eyes and an excellent expression. Near, small ears. Crested neck. Very moderate front angulation. Enough topline, very pleasing body proportions, covering good ground. Balanced angulation behind. He moved well in the front, rather narrow behind. In a good body coat if a little sparse underneath the belly. I recommend having his testicles checked.

Workmanlike bitch in the best sense of the word, well constructed and shapely. Reasonable head, ears could be smaller. Neck with a very attractive nape. Excellent front construction with very good return of upper arm. Shapely body with excellent rise over the loin and typical drooping quarters. Well angulated behind. Deep chest of correct width all the way. Long feet. She moved with excellent drive, at times a little careless in front. A very useful bitch this, should be a good brood bitch. Excellent coat, well presented. Best junior.

Beardswood Gille’s Whisper
A big and strong bitch, covering plenty of ground. Preferred her head to the winner. Strong neck with a nape. Somewhat wide in front. She was carrying too much weight and as a consequence tended to lose some of her outline. Well angulated behind. Excellent coat quality.

Ch. Greyflax Pearls A Singer
A big and strapping bitch of lovely breed type. She has plenty of quality and very lovely smooth transitions to her balanced and curvy outline. Excellent bone. Attractive yet strong and still feminine head. Neck with lovely nape. Strong body, carrying too much weight on the day which took something away from her elegance. In ship shape coat, very well presented indeed. Could do with some more length of hindquarters.
