1st: 2145 LEGGET, Mrs Isobel Ch Ir Ch Swanwite Take A Chance On Me Cw25 ShCEx V

one I have awarded a C.C. previously & still think very highly of his qualities, a worthy title holder now aged 7 & still showing with enthusiasm, in hard condition with most lovely breed specific head, correct eye & ear, in perfect body condition, firm level top line, correctly set tail & correct feet, in good coat & moving true fore & aft. Delighted to see him take veteran group 4 later in the day, well done.

heavier in the head than 1st, has a well set front & in good body condition he has pleasing ribbing & loin proportions, level top line, correct coat, 12 yr old & still in excellent condition & showed himself well.

1st: 2149 ROSSITER, Miss Sharon Mawali Goody Two Shoes

shows potential at this early stage & scored well in head & neck, well placed ears & his eyes are obliquely set of almond shape & dark, good back line for age, look of elegance when stood, good reach in front & just needs to strengthen in his rear, gleaming coat of good texture & has a well placed tail, his feet are small & narrow, particularly good for size overall.

Class 764 PGD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2148 RABBITTE, Mr Thomas J & DONALDSON, Mrs & Miss Fion Bahaticca's Yes It's Pure Genius At Woodella ( Imp

correct sized youngster who has a lot of good breed specifics, medium width of head with chiselling, firm jaws, hooded erect ears, firm elegant neck into well set shoulders, body developing nicely for young age, elbows firm & well held, strong loin, moved well in front would like a little more width in the rear.


Class 765 LD NO ENTRIES

Class 766 OD (4 Entries) Abs: 1 A nice trio of males all with desirable breed points, have to be judged on the day & could change places. 3rd place a favourite of mine but in the conditions today being wet, windy & the tents were very noisy he did not perform to his best.
1st: 2150 WILLIAMS, Mr Gareth Jason & WRIGHT, Mr Nicholas Ch NL Ch Int Ch Mawali Going Four Gold

showed himself well once settled into himself, again the conditions were affecting him but he then got over it & put in a good performance, moved well with sound footing, stacked presented a picture of flowing lines & no exagerations, most lovely head shape, correct almond shaped eyes obliquely set, small erect ears, firm neck, shoulders are well laid back & elbows are firmly tucked in, well sprung ribs & short level back line, his coat is short & close & well groomed, curled tight tail over his spine. Pleased to see him short listed in a good quality group later in the day.

2nd: 2139 GRAYSON, Mrs E & CULLEN, Mr D Ch Bushwacker American Hustle At Embeau ShCEx

matured since I last judged him & was more positive on the move, delighted to see he has since gained his title & rightly so, masculine but not heavy, correct coat & hard muscular condition throughout, firm bite & has the desired head proportions, dark almond eyes well placed & small erect ears alert & attentive to his surroundings, once he got into his stride he moved well with easy flowing footing, well placed tail.

1st: 2147 NASH, Mrs P Ch Tokaji Moon Over Miami With Mutoko JW ShCEx OSW

well placed almond eyes that are dark & expressive, small erect ears, finely boned but no weakness, in excellent body condition, correct feet shape, well set tail, elbows in line with her ribs at front this gives a lovely stance when viewed from front, moving well with confidence.
2nd: 2141 JARDINE, Miss D J Ch Tadrose North Star

liked her head & neck, almond shaped eyes & correct ear placement, good amount of body cover & firm level short back line, well placed firm elbows but prefer the width of first when viewing from front & moving towards me

Class 770 PGB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2142 JARDINE, Miss D J Zulnelsal Star Attraction

only 18 months but appealed for shape & has a lovely head with expressive eyes that are of almond shape, elegant neck & outline, firm loin, well set tail over her spine & correct shaped oval feet, in excellent close coat & is well muscled, moving well with evidence of that desired long swinging stride she is sound in front & in rear, hocks firmly placed.


Class 771 LB (2 Entries) Abs: 0

The most difficult decision of the day, each having different virtues & not so.
1st: 2144 KNIGHTS, Mr D & STOKES, Mr J Lelaps River Song

prefered the expression on 1st, ultra feminine throughout she is finer than 2nd but a pleasing balanced body shape, almond shaped eyes correctly placed & has small erect ears, firm neck & top line, high set tail curling over her spine, moved better in rear than in front today.
2nd: 2146 LEGGET, Mrs Isobel Here We Go Again At Swanwite JW

felt her mind was elsewhere today & possibly as with a different handler, this causing her to be looking for her owner & her expression was more of alarm than far seeing, has a better shoulder placement than 1st & used it well on the move, like her skull & jaw, in good body condition, shade longer than 1st, she has good muscle but not in best of coat condition today.


Class 772 OB (5 Entries) Abs: 0

A lovely class to judge
1st: 2136 DONALDSON, Miss Charley & RABBITTE, Mr Tom & VAN-D Woodella Caledonia

ultra feminine finely boned elegant 2 yr old who stacked presents a lovely picture of elegance & balance, front & rear are in harmony together when moving to give a free easy stride, most lovely head, with chiselling , firmly held elbows & correct in width front & rear, tight highly set tail, narrow compact feet, in good coat.
2nd: 2135 CLINTON, Miss A Ch Akmar Napatan Gold For Westlawn JW

liked her size & shape when stood, showed herself well she has sound flowing movement, desirable head proportions & elegant in neck, clean front, level in top line & short backed, in good coat & muscular condition, although she moved well just prfer the length of stride that 1st had.
