PD (2,0).

Two 7 month old very raw litter brothers and similar comments apply.

1. Grant-Hemmings, & Hemmings’ Brocairegorm The Big Fella at Courtington. Very raw puppy. Has a nice frame but needs time to mature and settle. Performed well for a young puppy.

2. Bagworth & Connor’s Brocairegorm Clover Blue Moon. Also very raw, needing time. Looks a little leggy and ears need to lift at this stage. Showed well and moved steadly.

JD (2,1).

1. O’Rourke’s Kebulak Royal Flush. Very smart 13 month old dog. Good head, keen expression. Stands and shows really well. Good outline, level topline. Excellent rear angulation. Nicely balanced very well presented and handled, in lovely condition.

OD (8,2)

1. Caltabiano & Tasselli’s Ch Balboa Leonida. Outstanding mature dog, full of quality with good substance. Excellent type, head, ears, eye and expression. Very well balanced, super neck and well laid back clean shoulders, big ribs, level topline, short back, good set on and strong well angulated rear. Superb soft silky coat texture and correct blue colour. Spirited keen temperament as it should be, in excellent condition, expertly handled and presented. Powerful free mover with great reach and drive maintaining his outline on the move. CC & BOB. Pleased to see him win 3rd Best in Show later in the day.

2. Smith’s Am Ch Sheep Creek Outlander Jamie. Another quality dog, very typical, sound and well balanced with a nice front, good spring of ribs extending well back with a short strong loin and good rear. Slightly more moderate, not quite matching 1 in head but has good ears and expression. Loved his spirited temperament, taking an interest in everything, expertly handled and presented. Correct coat texture. In excellent form. Moved soundly with purpose. RCC.

3. Somers’ Ch Catachgorm Checkmate by Dogazza.

MPB (2,1)

1. Mcfadden’s Kebulak Velvet Rose. See SBD/B.

1. Jones & Bradley’s Joalyn Parsley Moon. Promising puppy. Nicely balanced head, neat ears, nice outline and tailset, good colour for age. Well presented. Moved well.

2. Martin’s, Gaelgorm In The Shade. Also promising with some quality but needs time.

JB (3,0).

1. Martin’s Clanciarrai Blue Note. Beautiful 15 month old bitch full of quality. Excellent type. Very feminine. Super clean well balanced flat head, correct eye and ears giving a great expression. Lovely length of neck, very well laid back flat shoulders, into a short compact body with a level topline. Good rear and set-on. Nice colour for age already turning. Ideal size. Very balanced throughout. Excellent temperament, showed very well and moved very well once she got into her stride. In excellent condition. Won this good class and later the CC.

2. Clarke-O’Neill’s Lemracdream Shakira. Another really lovely bitch, very unlucky to meet 1 in the same class. Quality long clean head, good ears. Well balanced outline, good for size. Moved and showed very well. In excellent condition.

3. Dearden’s Lemracdream Dido.

PGB (2,1).

1. Wilkinson’s Cyane River at Cranmoss. Nice bitch with nice coat and colour, long quality head, good expression. Would prefer a slightly shorter back, moved smartly.

1. Pinfold’s Cyres Nancy Drew. Top quality 18 month old bitch of lovely type and great ring presence. Lovely head, ears, eye and expression. Good length of neck into good shoulders. Lovely size and overall balance. Very keen confident temperament, showed non-stop and impressed on the move. Level topline, good angulation and tailset. Soundly made. In excellent condition. Close up in the challenge. RCC.

2. Rafter’s Rafscos Annie Get Ya Gun. Slightly bigger bitch. Long punishing head with strong jaw, moved well, preferred the overall balance of 1.

OB (4,0).

1. Pinfold’s Ch Cyres Lightning. Lovely bitch, very well constructed and excelled in overall balance, coat, colour and movement. Loved her outline in profile with a reachy neck, good shoulders, strong compact body with level topline, good set-on and rear. Correct soft silky coat and blue colour. Very worthy champion, just a little stronger in head and front than the CC and RCC winners. Handled and presented to perfection, powerful free mover maintaining her outline. In excellent condition

2. Clarke-O’Neill’s Ch Showtime Lady at Lemracdream. Another top class bitch, and not surprised to see she is a champion too. Lovely head and expression, good neck and shoulders, good balance in profile. In super condition, excellent presentation, moved and showed well.

3. Davani & Potts’ Kebulak Plum Pudding.
