Unfortunately, I did notice quite a wide variety of type, from some very 'Bully' animals, with ultra short forefaces to some very 'Terrier' animals, which were leaning towards looking more like Whippets, neither of which are correct as the breed requires a blend of both. There were a couple of converging bites and unfortunately toplines appeared roach in some animals, dippy in others. I think we as a breed need to address these problems, by more selective breeding. However, I am pleased to say my winners, especially my major winners, had none of the mentioned problems. I was also over the moon to later hear that both my BOB & BPIB were shortlisted in their respective Groups. MPD(3) 1 Kendall's Bellarouge Blood Diamond. What a cutie pie, just six mths, my heart just went to mush when I saw him and I wasn't disappointed when I went over him either to find he lived up to his looks. Good rich red, with a powerful head for one so young, good ear carriage, good bite, wonderful expression. Nicely shaped body for such a baby, lovely front and rear. Moved well. I think he will have a good future and would love to see him in six mths when he will have grown a wee bit. BPD. 2 Mouneux & Hawke's Siamstaffs New Moon. Another baby who showed himself very well. Possessing a nice head shape, with well placed ears and lovely dark eyes. Body developing nicely, moved OK. 3 Sutcliffe's Barielle Air Marshall Of Pendlestaff. PD(3, 1) 1 Chaine's Good One Cyril Des Terres D'Armour. Dark brindle quality dog. Lovely head, lovely ear carriage, keen expression, good bite. He is bodying up nicely, ribs need to spring and brisket needs to drop. Handler gets the best from him, as he shows like he's been at it for years. However, his movement needs to settle as he's still so young, but maturity should bring a promising future. 2 Thisby's Dogumenyary's Thunder. Promising youngster, with nice body, good head, good front and feet, good shoulder set. Nice angulations to the rear. Moved well for a baby. Presented a pleasing picture when stood. JD(8) 1 Lewis' Charmonics Regal Lad. What an absolute star in the making. If this dog doesn't get his title then there is no justice whatsoever. To me, this beautifully marked brindle and white dog fits the standard accurately in every way. He has a wonderful head with excellent ears, dark round eyes, correct muzzle, excellent under-jaw, with pronounced cheek muscles and a wonderful attention seeking expression. Good spring of rib, lovely front and excellent shoulder placement, with nicely angulated rear. Topline is held on the move with driving rear action rear action. Handled to a very high standard. CC & BOB. 2 Monestina's Itcheboren Night Fury Dust Blaze. Another standard brindle dog. Nice head, good bite, good ears, dark round eyes. Lovely balanced body, with lovely front, stood four square. Moved and handled well. 3 Morgan &Jones' Mountarw The Prodigal Son. YD(3) 1 Monestina's Englandian Cool Crusin. Black/brindle dog. Quite a show dog. Nice head piece, with lovely expression and correct bite. Good front, near rear. Ample bone. Bodying up nicely, quite athletic. Handler would be better off letting the dog free stand. Moved ok. 2 Dawe's Marstaff Smokin Joe. Nice dog, stood four square. Pleasing head shape, with correct bite, Good shoulder placement. Nice front and rear. Seemed to be carrying a little weight, but obviously this could be addressed. 3 Nicholson's Zoellies Northerb Star For Ballindona. GD(3) 1 Robbins' Antroboss In The Red With Jakataffs. Top size red dog. Nice head, good expression, nice front and rear. Moved well, but was fidgety when standing. Needs more ring practice, to get the best from him. 2 Butler's Torostaff Our Billy. Nice dog throughout. Head, with nice eyes, ears, good bite. Tidy front and good rear which he was used well when moving round the ring. 3 Byrne's Bernies Gaelic Star. PGD(6, 2) 1 McDermott's Waystaff Dutch Chieftain. Brindle and white dog. Powerful dog that makes his handler work for her money. Nice head, dark eyes, good bite. Well sprung ribs, Tidy front.

The nicest of well proportioned heads, with an absolute punishing expression that demands you look at her, with tidy well placed ears, beautiful dark eyes, good bite. Her front quarters are well boned and her rear quarters are developing nicely. She shows herself very well and seemed quite at ease with her handler. To me she did not put a foot wrong in the BPB challenge as for the BPIB (I had to do a double take as my BPD & BPB stood side by side) she just pipped the dog on overall expression (absolutely says look at me) and I was overjoyed to read that they were brother and sister.
