Found feet in good order but I was surprised to see 1 or 2 suspect mouths but overall the quality & size is improving. VD (3) 1 Davies’ Ch/Bel Ch Honeymist Sunny, liver 10 years old in good order for age, good dense coat, nice layback of shoulder, good depth of rib, well tucked up with nice bend of stifle, moved out well. BV; 2 Baldwin’s Woolytop Iwan Super Wizard, on a similar lines to the first, longer bodied but did not move as well as the winner, but still in good order for his age; 3 Button’s Harrisclub Flash Harry, not in the same condition as the first two but nice to see veterans being shown & enjoying a day out. PD (4) 1 Wiggan’s Gnarklem Blue Eyed Boy at Lodhainn, nice head, well off for bone, up to size but with good layback of shoulders with correct depth of chest, kept topline on move; 2 Bouse’s Summer Warrior, strong headed dog with correct bite, small dark eye, lovely ears, good length of neck, longer bodied than 1 & not the movement of one; 3 McAllister’s Nebercrackers Blue Diamond, nice shape & coat but would preferred better movement & more foreface. JD (1) 1 Rainsbury & Hamilton’s Jetsway Chaser, good promising youngster which I have seen before, in very good coat with correct furnishings. With good head & strong foreface, lovely dark eye & correct bite, good ears. Everything to like about this 1 just needs to settle down some then the top honours will come. RCC. PGD (3) 1 Morris’ Honeymist Mellow Tone in Bluemazzu, nice shape & size but longer than I would have liked, with good dense coat, moved soundly, stood on good hare feet with correct tail carriage which is lacking in many, very nice to go over, a worthy winner; 2 Honey’s Burbeach Sunlight, smaller dog all round than first & I would have preferred more bone & better movement proud of his tail but a nice shape with blue coat, nice eye & expression; 3 Smith’s Vakurblue Eggie Bread, nice shape but needs to body up then movement might improve. LD (5) 1 Richardson’s Highdene Howztha, nice size & shape with good length of head with plenty of foreface, correct bite, lovely dark eye. Good length of neck leading into correct shoulders, nice rise over the loin, correct bend of stifle with lovely tail carriage. Just needs to body up then would be a contender; 2 Davies’s Honeymist Sunny Delight, a lot to like about this dog, good strong head with correct bite, nice shape & angulation, correct size with good dense liver coat but lacking in colour, somewhat lost out on movement today; 3 Scorah & Wiles’ Isotops Bumblebee from Rivendown, nice dog with good head, correct bite, nice eye but longer bodied & not as racy as the first two, tends to flatten out on the move. OD (11) 1 Walters & Mitchell’s Ch Rathsrigg Millrace, I have given this dog top honours before & he didn’t disappoint this time either.
