Also thank you to the exhibitors for their entry. I would like to make a few comments on the breed in general. On the positive side dentition was in the majority of exhibits was good and temperaments excellent without exception. On the negative side I found many dogs moving close behind today. Another observation is that we seem to be losing depth of coat colour in our mature dogs, what has happened to “the shade of ripening wheat” as called for by the breed standard? I found it disappointing to see so many exhibits lacking true wheaten colour. MP (5:1a) 1. Sargent & Dunhill-Hall’s Fantasa Blonde Mulligan. Lovely expression & correct bite. Good length of neck & decent shoulder placement & level topline. Correct tailset & carriage of tail. Good rear angulation. Lovely coat texture & colour BP 2. Johnson’s Garsayno Freeman Lots to like and similar comments apply another with good shoulders & level topline but finer in head than 1. Has more waves to coat than 1 with lovely colour 3.Walklin’s Kellynack Zoom Zoom. PD (2) 1. Francis’ Sawheaten Twasn’t Me. Masculine in head with correct scissor bite and dark eye. Lovely reach of neck into correct shoulder placement. Good deep chest. Balanced outline with adequate bend of stifle. Good coat colour & texture. 2 Simpson’s Loofahsa Bumblebee. Good head & dark eye would prefer a little more length of neck. Correct deep chest. Hard to assess movement as giving handler a hard time but shows promise. JD (4:1a) 1.

Moved straight fore & aft. Excellent coat colour & texture 2. Hunter’s Amaricy Hairy Hell Raiser. Lovely masculine head. Enough neck, good depth of chest & level topline. Well boned throughout.

Enough neck & well placed shoulders. Excellent depth of chest and well boned throughout. Level topline, good tailset & Carriage. Coat more mature than 1 with desired wave.
