BORDER JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 17

My thanks to the exhibitors for their quality entry, also to my two efficient stewards. I would like to mention that, due to the noisy ring next to ours during the first three bitch classes, some youngsters were upset and didn't show to their best advantage, hopefully they will have gotten over it. Movement generally was good in the majority of dogs. Feet need more attention, some certainly don't comply with the breed standard and certainly would affect them if they had to go long distances. Some just needed a little judicious trimming.

MPD (3)

1 Goddard's Sweeping Is This Your Final Answer Awbrooksky. I liked this youngster for his outgoing attitude. He has a nice head for his age with a keen expression. He has a good outline both standing and on the move, well balanced. Straight front, good shoulders with a nicely made body. Well made hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. Correct tailset, good pelt and in decent coat. Moves with plenty of drive and enthusiasm so doesn't need moving too fast. Paying attention to his young handler all the time. Best Puppy.

2 Adams' Fisherbloom All Eyes On Me. This youngster has a nice head and expression but needs to use his ears for a better advantage. He has a good front, good body and nicely balanced outline. He moved well, just need to tighten up.

3 Burrell's Eneonith Marbles.

PD (3)

1 Goddard's Sweeping Is This Your Final Answer Awbrooksky.

2 Lattimer's Ravenside Le Gourmand. A size bigger than first. Not very settled on the table today. Nice head of masculine proportions, good expression and using his ears well. Good depth of body. Would like a better turn of stifle. In good coat and condition. Moving well behind but tending to throw his front. Showed well.

3 O'Connor's Modann Wilson.

JD (5, 1)

1 Guvercin's Baillieswell Glengyle At Glebeheath. This boy is very finished looking, he is of a nice size and cannot be ignored. Very pleasing head with a nice width of skull and well filled foreface. Good neck, straight front with a well balanced body. Nicely made hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. Correct tailset and and he carries his tail correctly. In a first class coat and condition of pelt. Moving from the side he looked good, but not as positive in front action today for me.

2 Hollingsbee's Tarkaswell Smart Move To Otterwood. Liked a lot about this youngster, he tends to get quite excitable. Needs to finish in his head, but uses his ears well. Good neck and topline, straight front, overall nicely balanced. He has a good quality coat, good pelt, but needs to settle when moving.

3 Ruth's Bowencloud Busy Bee.

YD (4, 2)

1 Fleming's Cedarhill Ghost Writer. I liked this one for his size and well balanced shape. He has a typical head and expression, with a good neck and correct shoulders. Well made body, good hindquarters with a nice turn of stifle. Carrying a quality harsh jacket and good pelt. He moves soundly both ways and is a good showman.

2 Matthew's Tojamatt Moriarty. Time and confidence should help this youngster. He is of a good size, good body type and level back. He has an excellent turn of stifle and correct tailset. Another with a harsh coat. His movement today was all over the place, just very unsettled.

PGD (6, 1)

1 Dean's Tyrian Arrowsmith. Pleasing size and of good type. Nicely balanced outline with a level back. Very pleasing in head, with a keen expression and well placed ears. Straight in front, one with good feet and enough bone. Well made body, good turn of stifle with strength in his hindquarters. In a good coat, moved steadily and with soundness both ways. Shows well.

2 Jordan & Smith's Glebeheath Smash N'Grab. Nice head and expression, nice overall shape. Straight front with a good shoulder angulation. Nice body for depth and ribbing. Tight harsh coat, but tail could have been trimmed better, this detracted from the finished picture. Moved soundly both ways.

3 Anscombe's Orangebox Dark Energy.

LD (12, 1)

The strongest dog class today, little between the first two.

1 Irving's Dandyhow Galloping Gourmet. Masculine throughout, correct in head and expression. Good neck and shoulders, straight. front, good depth to his body with enough ribbing and a level back. Nicely made hindquarters with goo muscletone. In a quality coat, plenty of pelt and showing his head off today. I liked his sound fluent movement which won him the class today and the RCC.

2 McPherson's Brumberhill Back T'Future. This blue/tan was very close up to first. He really looks the part with a very pleasing head for shape and expression. Good in neck and shoulder, straight front. Well made body, with a good back end and well angulated. In a quality coat, from the side he moves very well and he is very sound behind. Today he just wasn't quite as positive coming towards me as first, which was the deciding factor.

3 Metcalfe's Dandyhow Friendly Fire At Chevinor.

OD (4)

1 Lee's Ch Tythrop Timepiece. I liked my winner for his quality and un-exaggerated appearance. A true blue/tan with a harsh outer coat and the correct undercoat. He is lovely breed type, a nice size with a lovely well balanced head. Correct expression with well placed ears, good neck and correct shoulders. Straight front, correct depth of body with good ribbing. Well muscled hindquarters with plenty of angulation, correct tailset and carriage. Fluent mover and sound both ways. A steady showman who watched his handler all the time. Well deserved the CC & BOB.

2 Goddard's Kgill King Of Swing At Awbrooksky. One I have previously awarded a RCC too. I still like this dog very much, like his masculine head and keen expression. Good in neck and shoulder, straight front, good body. Strongly made hindquarters with a very good turn of stifle. Moves with drive and so sound both ways. Shows non stop for his handler, coat not in top condition today.

3 Holmes' Ir Ch Barnaby Baramel Waver At Bimandi.

MPB (12, 3)

1 Pickering's Picer Beth Chatto. This is a very nice girl, in many ways quite finished. She is of nice type, has a very pleasing head and expression. Correct length of neck with nicely angulated shoulders and straight front. Well developed body with a soundly made back end. In nice coat, moving soundly both ways. Just needs to show more attitude and should do well. BPB.

2 Taylor's Nottorg Nostalgia. Another of the right size for her age. She has a pleasing head and expression. Good front, correct body with a well made back end. In a good quality coat and moving well both ways. Should have a bright future.

3 Ramus' Onthill Crystal Rock.

1 Lowry's Ravenside Calima. B/t, nice size for her age and well balanced. Good head with an alert expression and using her ears well. She has a good reach of neck, nicely angulated shoulders with a straight front. Body-wise she has a good depth and is well ribbed, a very good turn of stifle and correct tailset. In good coat and condition. Moving well, another with a bright future.

2 Service's Marsirdan Jemima Puddle. This girl has lots of promise, not as finished as first. Nice head, expression, neck and shoulders. Good front, pleasing body with well made hindquarters. Moving well both ways, coat not at its best today.

3 Parry's Oakyard On Song.

YB (10, 1)

1 Geraghty's Glen Mara Marquise Des Anges. I liked this wheaten girl very much and seriously considered her for the RCC. Racy outline with a very nicely balanced head and keen alert expression. Good neck with clean well angulated shoulders, good depth of body and well ribbed back. She has well made hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. Her top coat has a harsh texture with the correct undercoat. She moved effortlessly around the ring showing her soundness, well handled to win this class.

2 Baird's Dowgri Demelza. Another one that appeals with her nice breed type and size. She has a really nice expressive head, good neck and straight front. Similar body line as first. Carrying quite a full coat today that has a good harsh texture. Moving soundly behind, unfortunately today she was a little loose in her front movement.

OB (14)

Wow, this was a top quality class, many lovely bitches were unplaced today.

1 Sansom's Ch Tarkaswellwell Double Agent. An accomplished showgirl shown in top class condition, she had to pull out all the stops to win this class. Good head of correct proportions, very keen and alert expression, uses her ears well. Mature in body with a good depth and well ribbed back. First class hindquarters that have power and drive, showing her lovely free movement. In a quality coat and at one with her owner. CC.
