Lovely youngster who shows much promise. Excellent strength and substance for his age. Loved his head, good length and a strong muzzle, well set ears and a pleasing eye. Best of hindquarters and a good tailset and carriage. Very sound on the move. Still needs to come together but definitely one for the future. JD (1) 1 De Leie’s Verumamicus Cicero. Pleasing sort who presented a typical outlook. Balanced head, good eye and the best of expressions, Excellent depth of chest, firm body and nicely angulated quarters of good width. Moved well both fore and aft but could have been a little more positive on the day. PGD (1) 1 Turner’s Knowlespring Quincy. Dog of good size and proportions and well balanced throughout. Pleasing head, dark eye and alert expression. Very clean over the neck and shoulders and good depth of body. Held his topline on the move and covered the ground on a free and easy stride. LD (2) 1 Heath’s Lavaux’s Bahamian Chris. One I liked a lot and was knocking on the door for top honours on the day. Well balanced dog with the required long and low appearance as the standard asks for. Typical in head, good eye and expression and well set ears. Firm body and the best of hindquarters. Soundest of movers. 2 Volkova’s Gold Monarch for Verumamicus. Slightly different stamp and style to the winner but still presented a pleasing picture both stood and on the move. Best of heads, good strength of jaw and a dark expressive eye. Moved well. Not the body of the winner. OD (4,2) Class headed by two quality dogs. 1 Ryan’s Ch.Flanagan Energizer at Feorlig ( Imp Svk ) Judged him as a puppy and liked him then and was pleased to be able to judge him again as the finished article.

Moved on the best of strides, effortless as the standard asks for, Res.CC. VD (1) 1 McLeod’s Juger Edelweiss Me Myself and I at Esgia (Imp Est ) Another I have done well before and still hold in high regard. See he is the sire of my Res.CC winner dog as well as the bitch CC winner and has passed on his many virtues to his offspring. Well made throughout with lovely bone and substance. Best of heads with the required strength. Good length of body and a firm topline that he holds on the move, BV. PB (1) 1 Curtis’s Brakemill Midsummer Dream. Quality puppy who I am sure will have a very promising future if she continues to develop on these lines. Pleasing make and shape for her age. Balanced head with a very typical outlook. Well made front assembly with good depth of chest. Nicely rounded quarters with a pleasing taiset and carriage. Sound and more together on the move on the day than the dog pup which tipped the balance between these two promising puppies for BP.

Excellent make and shape, long and low and has the required strength throughout to complete the picture. Best of heads, pleasing front assembly, strong bone and a firm level topline that she holds on the move. Such a sound positive mover. Sure it won’t be long before she is pressing for top honours.

Typical in head, good strength of muzzle, lovely eye and expression and well set ears. Stands on good legs and feet, excellent body, pleasing rib and very well angulated hindquarters. Really comes to life on the move, so sound both fore and aft covering the ground on a effortless stride. 2 Robert’s Tarskavaig Speed Bonny Boat to Gallondean.
