Because of the large numbers, many dogs who would win on other occasions had to go cardless. Type, size, coat colour and texture have become more uniform, presenting a more cohesive picture of the breed. There were fewer very light coats, but mouths and low tail sets continue to be problematical, as do upright shoulders and poor front movement. Very few displayed the reach in front and drive from behind which should be typical. Some of the bitches were overweight, and some had very 'muddy' coats. My thanks to my two efficient stewards who kept things on the boil, allowing me to finish on time. My final line up of Best Dog, Best Bitch and Best Puppy made a pleasing picture. VD (4,2) 1 Tanner's Ch Kariskiye Kyanite Kismet. An impressive 10-year-old. Fit and muscular, with good coat, handsome head, correct bite. Good mover with reach and drive - one of the few showing correct movement today. 2 Johnson's Ch Fantasa Blonde Fagin ShCM. Another very fit 10-year-old with pleasing head and nice coat. Movement not as sure as 1, but very close decision. Two good representatives of breed type. SpPD (5) 1 Pascoe's Middlebury Shooting Star (10 months). Nice head, with flat skull, correct bite and dark pigmentation. Nice flowing coat, and good bone and substance for age. Level topline, good tailset, moved OK. 2 Wright's Kariskiye Horrid Henry (10 months). Similar type to 1. but lower tailset and less settled on move. Nice outline and head, good coat colour and texture. 3 Maleary's Saffini Teenage Sensation (9 months). Not as forward as above, needs more time to mature. Good conformation throughout, nice coat and colour. A trio of lovely pups. SpJD (4, ) 1 O'Hare's Emalot Mister Happy (14 months). Very attractive, well-balanced masculine dog with good coat colour. Nice head, good reach of neck, straight front. Moved well. Has great ring presence and should do well in future. 2 Walklin's Kellynack Zoom Zoom (17 months). Another very masculine youngster, standing four-square. Level topline, good tailset, well angulated, moved well with drive. Coat colour paler than 1. 3 Hannifer's Kariskiye Handsome Henry (10 months). Nice type but longer coupled than above. Somewhat reluctant on the move, but is only a baby and needs time to mature. YD (2,1) 1 Simpson's Loofahsa Bumble Bee. 18 months old and still rather at the loose and gangly stage. Coat rather pale, and would not settle. He is a bit of a handful and needs more ring training. Moved OK behind, but rather close in front. Needs time to mature. PGD (11,2) 1 Hunter's Amaricy Hairy Hell Raiser. Good size, nice type. Pleasing head with correct bite and good pigmentation. Good reach of neck, straight front, good spring of rib, level topline and good tailset. Moved well, coming and going - one of the better movers today. 2 Bailey's Amberstar Please Mr Postman. Stood foursquare with level topline and good tailset. Typical head with flat skull, dark eye, kind expression. Longer-coupled than 1 and not as sound on the move. 3 Carter's Chloeanco Hunni Dream. Different type with paler coat. Conformation sound, but rather curly tail. Moved OK. LD (5,1) 1 Boulton's Dayshaun Sparkler for Diddidumkins. Very masculine dog, well balanced with good bone and substance. Pleasing head with flat skull, correct bite, good ear placement. Stood foursquare with good length of neck into well laid back shoulders. Well muscled quarters, moved with drive holding level topline and seemed to be enjoying himself. Res Dog CC. 2. Kenneally's Loofahsa Hakana Matata. Nice size with good coat colour and texture, and typical head. Straight front, level topline, moved OK coming and going. Longer coupled than 1 and not the reach of neck. 3 Glew's Wentloog Mozambique at Braelochyen. Irish type with silky coat. Well handled and moved well, but does not have substance of two above. OD (17,3) A super class of high quality dogs, very difficult to separate. Final decisions were made on movement. 1 Cox's Ch Riabee Sagittarian Comet. Commanding presence in the ring. Very masculine with nice outline, well balanced throughout without exaggeration. Attractive head with dark pigmentation, flat skull, well set ears. Well muscled with good bone, good reach of neck, straight front, level topline and good tailset. Lovely coat texture and colour. Driving movement coming and going. I was pleased to award him Dog CC. 2 Rogers' Kizzalah Pompey Royale JW ShCM. Another very masculine showman, with excellent coat texture and colour. Lovely head with dark eye and kind expression. Typical outline with well laid back shoulders, straight front and level topline. He is longer coupled than 1, and does not have the reach of neck.

Another golden oldie 2 Tilley's Ch/Ir Ch Snowmeadow Hetti Hopscotch at Starzak ShCM. (9 years). Super example of this breeder's excellent line. Longer coupled than 1 with paler coat, but typical all through. Well balanced, nice head on good reach of neck. Level topline, moved well coming and going. 3. Bain's Merriwell Magic Moonbeam (8 years). Longer coupled with rather curly coat. Nice head, front movement not sound but overall good for age. SpPB (6) 1 O'Sullivan & Harding's Chekhina Streaming Sarayu (9 months). Very pretty baby with lovely temperament. Excellent coat colour and texture. Pleasing head with flat skull and correct bite. Well laid back shoulders, straight front, short coupled, level topline with good set on. Moved well for age. Nicely handled and presented. Best Puppy. 2 Watkins' Zaraslake Bellissima (14 months).

Lovely coat colour and texture. Pretty heads with flat skull, dark pigmentation and correct bite on good reach of neck. Compact and well balanced with level topline and good tailset. Both moved with drive and were difficult to separate, but preferred shorter coupling of 1. 3 McFerran's Kirtonhill Look No Further (14 months). Unfortunate to meet above.

Very typical but longer coupled and slightly over angulated. Moved well. Nicely handled and presented. OB (17,4) Every class produces ever greater quality - a hard task for the judge to select only 5 and then to place them in order. Tough and very close decisions all round. All were excellent representatives of the breed with regard to coat colour and type and could change places any day. 1 Noble's Pippajam Gold Leaf ShCM. Lovely temperament, very feminine, nice size with beautiful coat colour and texture. Pretty head with flat skull, dark eye and correct bite.
