VD (1) 1 Ryan’s Ch Rubericla Black Starscream. 10 yr old, beautifully balanced black brindle of style and quality, stood four square, carried his age well. A pleasure to go over him. BV. MPD (6, 2) 1 Robinson, Marsh & Hamason’s Fynnbar Firecracker. Smart, striking 6 mth old red and white. Pleasing, well proportioned head, good front and quarters, head up and coming forward on the move, she just asked to be placed. One to watch. 2 Funnel’s Powerpack Tam O Shanter. Black/brindle, needs to mature in order to assess her fully. Looked leggy as often happens with minor puppies, as her rib has not yet sprung, which has thrown her out of balance, still very much a baby, leaving a lot to look forward to. Well handled, which has given her good ring experience. 3 Lewis & Hamason’s To Be Frank At Karjaydan. PD (8) 1 McCarron-Tuer’s Elitebull Avenger. Compact, stocky black/brindle. Deep through head, strong muzzle, correct proportions throughout, good bite, nice rose ears, moved well. 2 Hillman’s CHalexstaff The Heathen.

Nicely proportioned head, pleasing expression, good topline on the move, handled well. 3 Fradgley’s Kyraloebis Shadow Master. JD (9, 1) 1 Corcoran’s Molru The Navigator. Beautifully balanced black/brindle, put down hard and fit, moved and handled very well, great head and expression, neat rose ears, round ark eye, ticked all the boxes. Pleased to award him Res DCC. 2 Davis, Davis & Boldstock’s Gee Tar Man At Shamara.

YD (8, 1) 1 Smart & Hedges’ Tnt Edition Renegade Of Arnhem. Striking, smart, red and white pied, correct proportions, pleasing head and expression, neat ears, dark eye, nice spring of rib, very good on the move, handled well. 2 Rhodes & Pritchard’s Taraiel Reaper At Teracota. Black/brindle, well proportioned head, nice expression, good front, nice spring of rib and bend of stifle, good topline, moved very well. 3 Tighe’s Tegumen Ace Of Spades. PGD (5) 1 Farley’s Homafar Last Chance.

Sp Beginners D (1) 1 Gibson’s Holdavane Moldavite. Smart mahogany brindle, pleasing head proportions, eye matched coat colour, ticked the boxes for teeth and ears, pasterns rather weak, spoiled his front a little, should tighten up with maturity.
