(Critiques limited to 1st & 2nd place in each class.)

Class 1485 – Special Beginners Dog (2, abs 1)

1st – Rosebebe Beam Me Up For Inverteign
A pleasant, honest dog who presented a clean, workmanlike outline. Head of good length with correct planes and a keen expression. Neck of fair length into firm topline, with balanced angles fore and aft. Moved steadily and purposefully, holding his shape to take the class.

Class 1486 – Minor Puppy Dog (4, abs 0)

1st – Aritaur Tuscan
A smart baby with plenty to like: good proportions for age and a pleasing outline. Head shows correct length and developing strength of foreface, with a good eye and expression. Neck clean into a topline he held well on the move; rear well made for age. Once settled, moved with scope and purpose.

2nd – Aritaur Renaissance At Perardua
Another promising youngster, slightly different in type, with a pleasing head and good ear carriage. Balanced body for age, good bone and feet. Just not quite the finish and ring assurance of winner today, but moved soundly and should progress well.

Class 1487 – Puppy Dog (2, abs 1)

1st – Cockneyoka Commander
An attractive puppy dog with good breed type. Nice length of head, good expression and a clean neck into a firm back. Correct tail set and carried well. Moved freely, maintaining his outline.

Class 1488 – Junior Dog (2, abs 0)

1st – Evalesco’s Shade Of Class
Quality junior with pleasing make and shape. Masculine head of good proportions and correct planes, dark eye giving typical expression. Good neck and forehand, firm topline and balanced quarters. Moved with a positive, ground-covering stride.

2nd – Aniiraz Ajax The Greater
A sound, honest dog with good bone and feet. Head of pleasing length and a good expression. In good condition and handled well. Just preferred the overall balance and finish of 1 today, though he moved steadily and true.

Class 1489 – Yearling Dog (5, abs 1)

1st – Xentader’s Atomic Bomb At Dizame
A smart, upstanding youngster with plenty of quality. Good length of neck into well-made forehand, firm topline and correct croup. Head clean and typical, with good eye and expression. Moved with drive, holding his shape well.

2nd – Krieger’s Mark Miwords At Mandareus
Pleasing dog with a good outline and correct substance. Head of good length with a typical expression; good body and rib. Moved soundly, just not quite the same presence and overall “picture” as the winner today.

Class 1490 – Post Graduate Dog (2, abs 0)

1st – Zinedine Zidane Elite House Del Diego (Imp Pol)
A dog of quality and good breed type, presented in hard, fit condition. Strong head with correct proportions and expression; neck clean into firm topline. Balanced angulation and used himself well on the move to take the class.

2nd – Lateagain Starstruck JW
A bigger made dog with a masculine head and good length of neck into firm topline; moved well when settled. Today I preferred the winner for overall balance and finish, but this one has plenty of virtues.

Class 1491 – Limit Dog (11, abs 3)

1st – Knecht Little Richard JW ShCEx OSW (CC, BOB)
A very masculine, powerful male who immediately commands attention with his presence and profile. Excellent head and expression, well set ears, and a strong, clean neck into well-made shoulders. Balanced outline, firm topline and strong quarters; moved with authority and ease, covering the ground with a fluent, driving action—no surprise to see him go on to DCC and BOB. Today he finished his well deserved Ch. Title, taking Reserve Best in Group as the ice on the cake. Congratulations! 

2nd – Evalesco Ego Boost JW
A quality dog of pleasing proportions and good breed points; clean wedge head with dark eye, straight forelegs and excellent feet. Correct topline and moderate, serviceable rear; moved steadily. Again showed well today, just lacked the outright authority of the CC winner.

Class 1492 – Open Dog (11, abs 3)

1st – Lux Ch Bel Ch Korifey Vanquish JW (RCC)
A dog of real class and quality—eye-catching, elegant and thoroughly “put together”. Beautiful head properties with strong underjaw, correct planes, dark eye and intense expression; clean neck, firm topline and excellent body. Uses himself very well, moving with reach and drive and presenting the picture throughout. A showman, and very worthy RDCC winner.

2nd – Ch Supetas Boys Are Back In Town JW
A smart, quality dog with a pleasing head and expression and a good outline. In hard condition and handled well. Moved soundly; just preferred the maturity, flow and finish of the RCC winner today.

Class 1493 – Veteran Dog (1, abs 0)

1st – Swnydwr Wassap (Best Veteran)
A veteran still clearly enjoying his day and showing in excellent order. Clean head with correct planes, strong underjaw, good neck into a level topline he held well on the move; strong quarters and tight feet. Moved soundly and purposefully—fully deserving Best Veteran.

Class 1494 – Special Beginners Bitch (2, abs 1)

1st – Rosebebe Fun House (Best Special Beginner)
A pleasing bitch with good type and a feminine, clean outline. Head of good length with a nice expression; good neck into firm topline and balanced quarters. Moved steadily and held her shape well.

Class 1495 – Minor Puppy Bitch (6, abs 0)

1st – Amazon Until I Found Her (BCC, Best Puppy)
What a promising star for the future! A beautifully composed baby who already looks “the part”. Excellent outline, very balanced throughout, with a lovely head and correct parallel planes; well laid shoulder and return of upper arm, short loin and well angled (but not exaggerated) rear. Moved with great promise and presence for one so young; deservedly BCC and Best Puppy.

2nd – Rosebebe Fun House
Another promising youngster with a pleasing outline and good breed type. Showed well and moved soundly. Just preferred the overall balance, front construction and composure of the winner today.

Class 1496 – Puppy Bitch (3, abs 0)

1st – Teuschons Raspberry Beret
A smart puppy bitch with good breed type. Clean head with dark eye, good neck and balanced proportions for her age, with developing topline and correct substance. A very likeable youngster who should continue to strengthen.

2nd – Krieger’s New Illusion
A pleasing puppy with a feminine head and a nice outline. Good bone and feet, and moved soundly. Today the winner had the edge in overall finish and ring presence.

Class 1497 – Junior Bitch (5, abs 1)

1st – Aniiraz Wild Cybele Avec Llepac
An attractive junior with good bone and topline, lovely neck and dark eyes, and good pigmentation. Stands over a balanced outline and showed well. One might prefer a touch less rear angulation, but she has much to admire and was the best picture in this class today.

2nd – Shalissa’s Into The Shallow JW
Feminine bitch of good size and outline; pleasing head proportions and parallel planes, good neck and front, and a clean topline. Moved well once settled and presented very neatly.

Class 1498 – Yearling Bitch (3, abs 0)

1st – Elmorell Ready For It JW
A balanced yearling with a feminine head, correct planes and good expression. Well made front with good upper arm, firm topline and moderate, useful rear. Moved well once settled into her stride.

2nd – Xentader’s Amazing Grace
A stylish bitch with much to like. Clean head with dark almond eye, good neck and outline; moved soundly. Today I preferred the winner for overall composure and finish.

Class 1499 – Post Graduate Bitch (10, abs 2)

1st – Amazon Breathless
An impressive young bitch of excellent breed type: clean, well-proportioned head, dark expressive eye, elegant neck and a balanced outline. Pleasing angles and moved smoothly with confidence to head a good class.

2nd – Knecht Mirelle JW
A quality young bitch with a classic head and expression, good bone and tight feet, and a clean topline. Very sound coming and going and gives a pleasing profile; much to admire and a very promising future.

Class 1500 – Limit Bitch (10, abs 1)

1st – Rafthouse Ultra Violet At Dizame
A smart bitch with a clean outline and an impressive wedge-shaped head with correct planes and dark eye. Carries herself well and moved with purpose, though at times can vary in topline and one might prefer a little more correctness in forehand/shoulder placement—nevertheless, a quality bitch who took the class on her overall virtues today.

2nd – Supeta’s Playing With Fire Avec Aniiraz
A very promising bitch with a lovely head and expression, good length of neck and a firm topline. Still maturing in chest and body, but moved well and showed a great deal of potential.

Class 1501 – Open Bitch (9, abs 3)

1st – Ch Amazon Just Let Me Adore You JW (RBCC)
A class bitch—elegant, correctly proportioned and thoroughly typical, with a feminine head, correct planes and a keen, alert expression. Clean neck, excellent outline, firm topline and strong, well-muscled quarters; she powers around the ring with reach and drive, holding her shape throughout. Again fully deserving RBCC.

2nd – Ch Supetas Waiting For An Alibi From Korifey JW
Quality bitch with a beautiful head and very pleasing construction, particularly through front and topline, and balanced hindquarters. Moved with scope and purpose. On the day, just preferred the greater maturity and finished ring presence of the winner.

Class 1502 – Veteran Bitch (1, abs 0)

1st – Martifers Headliner
A veteran presented in excellent condition and shown to advantage. Feminine head and expression, good neck and a firm outline for her years. Moved steadily and with purpose, giving a pleasing picture.
