I had some super exhibits to go over and was very pleased with my final line-ups for both sexes and my principle winners, particularly for their breed type, agility and movement. As happens, there were some tight decisions and a few exhibits going without a card, although they were perfectly deserving. In the majority, exhibits were shown fit and in good condition. General quality I felt was good and there were plenty of exhibits with good bone and substance. Parallel movement was seen but not in every exhibit. Mouths were, on the whole, correct, although the usual dentition issues such as converging canines were unfortunately seen in a few exhibits and positioned accordingly and a number of exhibits had a build up of plaque on both their front and rear teeth. Sp Beginners D 1 Mitchell & Ashton’s Chedanstaff Devil Star. Black brindle. Top sized yearling, pleasing overall outline, good head shape of width and depth, well placed ark eye, neat ears, correct bite, strong neck, well angled shoulder, up on pastern, enough front development at this stage, level topline, well angulated on rear, good bone, athletic, should improve as he matures on. MPD 1 Funnell’s Powerpack Tam O’Shanter. Eyecatching 7 mth old, black brindle/white puppy, lovely neat head with very tidy ears giving a good expression, correct bite, nice and square with good front, well angulated shoulder, up on pasterns, level topline, short coupled with good bend of stifle, correct tail carriage, moved out confidently, everything in the right place to grow on.

Balanced 10 mth old black brindle, nice head shape and expression, defined cheek bumps, neat ears, good eye placement with dark eye, correct bite, straight front with well angulated shoulder, good topline, short coupled, rear end and tail carriage fine. Moved with speed and agility. Nice bone for a youngster. Just needs time to mature on. JD 1 Makin & Porter’s Waystaff Moon Shine. Standard red/white pied, 14 mths, well boned skull giving a clean head shape with good depth of stop, clean lipped with good underjaw, mouth correct, nice pigment, clean straight front, good rib, well angulated rear with good bend of stifle and muscletone, tail set good, a little tense to start but once he was on the move he relaxed up moving parallel and with drive, good outline and general body shape, sound youngster. 2 Mitchell & Ashton’s Chedanstaff Devil Star. YD 1 Funnell & Wiggins’ Powerpack Kilgobnet JW. Quality black brindle, 22 mths, good head shape, clean lipped, good eye placement with dark eye, correct mouth, clean well boned front with good angulation on the shoulder, well ribbed, level topline, good bend of stifle, tail correct, where he excelled and why he won this class was his movement, he moved very true and parallel. He’s very agile and very fit in lovely coat condition. 2 Johnson’s Ellchansha Hotshot. Another typical black brindle, 18 mths, similar to first with many of the same virtues, although not as mature as first at this stage. Attractive head shape, yet to come, with good expression and general body outline, nice dark eye with good placement, good mouth, straight front, level topline, short coupled with good bend of stifle, moved soundly, this is a clean tidy dog and with some maturity could have a promising future. One to watch. 3 Thomas’ Sunnystone Limited Edition. PGD 1 Devlin’s Tightlines Dusty’s Trail. Red/white dog. Clean, square and solid as a rock!

In lovely condition, tight decision with first but preferred a coupld of virtues of first on this occasion. 3 Thomas’ Sunnystone Limited Edition. LD 1 Lee’s Molru Throwing Shapes. Very typy, clean black brindle, nice outline, super head and expression, dark well placed eye, strong muzzle and underjaw, neat ears, mouth ok, straight front, good depth of brisket, well ribbed, level topline, short coupled, strong on the rear with well bent stifle, good dark pigment, moved out with plenty of drive, tail carried a little high on the move but forgave him that for his other virtues. 2 Hopkin’s Trufflestaff Papinashuash JW.
