Class 939 MPD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2813 CERVENAK, Mr Stefan Asterix Bisurman. Bl/T lad Quite raw in all areas will need time to come together. Skull has ample width and does muzzle still changing in jaw at the moment which also shows in the looseness of eye. Chest needs more depth and width. Coming towards still weak in pasterns and the same in hocks need more muscle tone.

1st: 2819 LOWES, Mr Td & Mrs Cm Ch. Wangdak Forrest For Callowdale BL/Tan Makes a good shape on the stand with ample bone. Skull and muzzle ratios developing well. N ice eye colour and fit to lids and tidy in flews. Good ribcage and width to chest. Stifle could have a shade more bend for me. Good tail set and carriage moved out covering the ground well with a steady gait. RDCC
2nd: 2818 KING, Prof Julie & KING, Prof Ian Colin Ligorjana Another lad that will need time to come together. Skull and muzzle still changing as showed in loose eye, like tighter jowls. Chest needs to develop for width and depth. Ample bend to stifles. On the move needs to muscle up as this showed in front pasterns and close hocks but with gentle exercise will improve.

1st: 2815 HOLLIFIELD, Mr R & HUMPHREYS, Mr Aaron Ch. Richearon Palden.  Majestic on the stand belying his age just coming back from coat blow, but cannot deny his construction. Broad skull with defined stop, muzzle has depth and strength with set square dentition and tidy jowls Eye is dark and expressive with well-fitting lids. Neck is strong into well laid shoulders, standing on good feet. Chest has depth and width with good ribbing. Firmest of loins with slight slope to croup allowing a good high set tail and carriage. On the move shows a strong powerful ground covering action and stands correctly at a free stand. DCC BOB BVIB later placed in group. Well done.

1st: 2814 DORAN, Ms G Tamdrin rinchen Winner from the SBB Class. 
Moved out really well here.
2nd: 2825 TOWERS, Mr Adrian Malcolm Wilsontus Xara A lot smaller framed make and shape. I’d like more bone throughout, skull and muzzle still quite raw s is chest for depth and width. Moving coming towards showed lack of width to chest and width across pelvis and hocks going away.

2nd: 2817 KING, Prof Julie & KING, Prof Ian Callowdale Gingersnap Rich gold. Longer cast than 1 on the stand and shade bum high. Good eye colour for coat tone and pigment ample stop and muzzle depth.

1st: 2821 NAYLOR, Mrs Lesley & NAYLOR, Mr Simon Ch. Seii Taishougun Brilliance Star From Skaijak (I) Mature feminine outline on the stand. Skull is broad with good stop, muzzle is broad and has depth with set square dentition and tidy flews. Neck has strength into well laid shoulders with good depth to brisket and width across chest standing on well boned legs and good feet. Firm strong loins and good length and set of tail. Moderate bend of stifles and tidy strong hocks. On the move shows a sound purposeful balanced gait at correct pace to get the best out of her.

2nd: 2824 TOWERS, Mr Adrian Malcolm Callowdale Desert Sand Richly Coloured out of full coat. Like more stop definition, skull ok for width. Eye good colour for tone and pigment. Ample depth and width to muzzle. A little loaded on shoulders and chest. Top line could be better as tended to stand a bit bum high. Moving rather sluggishly due to excess weight.

Class 953 VB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 2822 ROSE, Lady S A Richearon Pema At Caselden Bl/t Littermate to BOB Makes a feminine silhouette on the stand with good bone. Good head proportions and depth to muzzle. Neck is strong, but today sadly carrying far too much body. Chest is deep and has width. Good tail length and set. Not wanting to move much today but did get a few glimpses of what she could be capable of.
