1st: 6759 PRIEST, Miss Kimberley Sacrados Big Boy Brucie, 2 yrs, fawn black mask, a good size male being active showing strength with an outgoing character, worked as one with his charge always ready for action. An alert expressive head, small high set ears, broad skull, has fair wrinkle, well-filled cheeks, would prefer more of a pronounced stop. Has dark medium eye, muzzle short, broad underjaw, tidy flews with clean lip line and neck well-muscled of fair length. Balanced fore and after angles, deep chested reaching elbows, forelegs straight well boned would just prefer stronger pasterns, and feet ok. Back is straight with fair depth of flank, well developed second thigh leading in to straight hocks, moved with purpose showing good side profile action holding his shape with a level topline. BSB, must say was disappointed didn't go into the group as the group judge told me she watched him win his class.  Expressed they were looking forward to judging him in the group, as she was very impressed by him, and said he missed out on winning the group sadly.

1st: 6762 COLLINS, Mr Peter Crimlisk Romanee Conti, 11 mths, red black mask, this young male is developing nicely throughout of good bone and substance. On the day made his handler work hard to try getting the best out of him, certainly showed his high spirited side with being alert. He has a lovely head just needs to use his ears more, skull large and square with fair wrinkle, good stop, lovely dark expressive eyes with good underfill. Has well-filled cheeks, muzzle short showing a blunt square, neck slightly arched of moderate length with just slightly wrinkled over the wither. Shoulders being muscular, sloping with not being over loaded would just prefer more return of upper arm. Forechest is in the developing stages as expected at this age. Chest is well let down of good width, brisket is deep, ribs well sprung and feet ok. Back short and straight being compact, hindquarters nicely muscled of good width would just prefer a bit more bend of stifle and tail strong reaching his hocks.  Sadly on the move he was just unsettled, so missed out to his litter brother.  I'm sure these boys will often swap places through their showing careers.

1st: 6783 WARREN, Mr W & Mrs A Crimlisk Cobos Malbec Of Copperfield, 11 mths, fawn black mask, litter brother to puppy class winner, very different in type although preferred the other brother's head he just out moved his brother with being more settled. Although they are very different both have good qualities to admire. He is good for size being more up on the leg with bone and substance showing balance. He has a calm expression with a pleasing eye; head is in the developing stage just needs more time to fill and come on. Ears large, folded forward and used them well, fair length to neck leading into a nice front assembly with equal length of upper arm, straight forelegs set wide apart and feet ok. Brisket just let down to elbow, slightly wrinkled over the wither, tad more length to loin than brother. Nicely moderated rear angulation standing on straight hocks and tail set high carried straight. Moved with good reach and drive for one so young, although just carried his tail a little high on occasions the more confident he got moving round as one with his charge, BPD.

1st: 6759 PRIEST, Miss Kimberley Sacrados Big Boy Brucie, Winner of Special Beginner Dog class.
2nd: 6773 TRIM, Mrs Emma & TRIM, Mr Daniel Royceprides Habenero Hot, red black mask, 18 mths, enough bone and substance for his size, this youngster is in the developing stages so still needs to come into his own. Showing a strong head, skull is broad fairly wrinkled, small ears that he would benefit by using them to be more expressive.  Well filled cheeks would just prefer less wrinkle, muzzle short of good depth, strong well muscled neck just carrying few wrinkles through to his wither. Straight forelegs with short pasterns, feet need to tighten but with good width to chest. Nice return to upper arm, ribs well sprung, second thigh developing well. Has moderate bend to stifle and straight hocks. I just feel this youngster would benefit by carrying a little more weight giving him a nice coverage as his to tucked up.  He moved true when he wanted to, just needs more enthusiasm.

1st: 6764 DOWNS, Mrs N & DOWNS, Mr D R & MYERS, Mr P J & MYE Optimus Johnnie Walker (ai), 22 mths, fawn black mask, this youngster is developing nicely for age and sure he will only improve with maturity. He has a lovely shape being clean throughout and his balance caught my eye as he entered the ring. Again, enough bone and substance for size not being overdone in anyway. Showing soundness being very active, head is in proportion to body with an alert expression. Would prefer ears to be folded forward for the finished picture, but he has a broad skull with a pronounced stop and lovely dark eye. Tight flews showing a clean lip line, well arched muscular neck leading in to sloping shoulders with good return of upper arm. Deep brisket with tight elbows, forelegs straight well boned, would prefer tighter feet. Back is short and straight being, compact slightly dropping off at the croup, rear is well angulated with good second thigh standing on straight hocks.  Won this class on his free-flowing movement showing reach and drive whilst holding his shape.
2nd: 6763 DAVIES, Ms Jacqui Ann Reesley's Game Changer For Coulbymoor, 2 yrs, fawn black mask, large powerful male who is up on the leg being well off for bone. He has such a calm nature, his young handler handled him to perfection, working hard to get the very best out of him, and a pleasure to watch them work as a team. A lovely head being square with a very dark expressive eye, v-shaped ears set high and wide that's folded forward, fair wrinkle when interested, well-filled cheek's, short muzzle with good depth and width with broad underjaw. Well-developed forechest let down between his well boned straight forelegs, standing on well arched compact feet. Good length to upper arm with shoulder slightly sloping and clean over the withers.  Just a little tucked up, would benefit from a bit more body and condition. Has back straight leading into low set tail, nice width to second thigh, would just prefer more rear angulation, hocks straight, moved steadily working as one with his charge.

1st: 6761 ASTON, Mr R & ASTON, Mrs K & PAVESI, Miss F Ch Angel's Phoenix Ron Weasley Astonpride JW (Imp), 4 yrs, red black mask, a dog I have judged previously and said at the time his probably the best male I had judged, and still stand by those words by awarding him the DCC.  He is one very impressive dog, so was very pleased to be told on the day I had given him his 12th CC. Pleased to see he has matured beautifully, filling his potential now at his peak.  Was a pleasure to get my hands back on him in his prime. He has an exceptional head and screams breed type throughout along with super balance, very powerful, showing great strength with being sound and active. To top it off, an outstanding temperament, head is strong being square from every angle, with a beautiful expression that draws you in.  V-shaped ears folding forward which he used to his advantage, deep skull of good width with fair wrinkle when interested, pronounced stop, lovely dark eye which has broad underfill. With well-filled cheeks, muzzle is blunt and cut off square, with one of the best level bites of the day, finished off with a broad underjaw.  Well arched muscular neck that leads into a lovely front assembly along with his chest being deep, having great width for heart room, deep brisket nicely tucked in at the elbows, shoulders muscular and well laid back with equal length of upper arm showing balance. A slightly wrinkled over the wither, straight well boned forelegs with super catlike feet. Back is short giving compact carriage having a strong topline which he held on the move with a nice undercarriage. Loin strong and muscular, his balanced rear is powerful showing strength with moderate bend of stifle. With well-developed second thighs standing on straight hocks which he used well, having great driving action with matching reach in front, holding his shape in profile allowing his balance to stand out. Handled to perfection to take the DCC, then beating his daughter to a very deserving BOB, who put in a super performance in the group.
2nd: 6767 LATTER, Mr & Mrs P & C Ch Stoneglad Gigolo, 2 yrs, fawn black mask, another lovely deserving champion in super condition, just preferred head and the overall balance of winner. Yet no denying he also has some lovely attributes and breed type showing great strength.  Being a tad shorter in body than 1st just not the presence, strength or masculinity that I was looking for.  Yet a dog that could certainly go all day being active, alert and high spirited, showing his great character being handled to perfection, for those traits to shine through, and certainly makes him eye catching. Head is in proportion to body with a lovely expression, another square head with broad skull of good depth, well placed ears, good stop, lovely dark eye along with dark pigmentation throughout. Well-muscled cheeks, strong muzzle of great width and depth finished off with tight flews. Well arched neck of fair length showing great strength leading into slightly sloping shoulders although, I would just prefer them to be a little more laid back. Chest is wide and deep well let down between straight well boned forelegs, pasterns short slightly sloping standing on good feet. Back is short giving compact carriage being level showing a strong topline, muscular loins, well-muscled hindquarters showing nice rear angulation, with great first and second thigh with straight hocks. Moved with purpose holding his shape using his power to be an impressive dog on the move which won him the RCC.

1st: 6772 SPENCER, Mrs Michelle Islekeepers A Pretty Penny, 9 mths, fawn black mask with lovely dark pigmentation. My easy class winner that has lovely breed type attributes along with being well balanced, also very eye catching on the move showing a lovely clean outline. Has good size with bone and substance yet still being feminine, not being overdone in anyway. Her outgoing character stood out being so active and alert, skull is broad with fair wrinkle, small high set ears that sit well when settled, but just has a tendency to not use them to her full advantage at times. Lovely dark eye with furrow between giving a kind but keen expression, enough fill under the eyes, muzzle has nice width and depth just in the developing stages so needs to balance out to skull.  A clean well arched neck nicely muscled for age, chest is developing well showing lovely width, brisket deep nicely tucked in at the elbows, straight forelegs along with strong straight pasterns with lovely compact feet. Her back is short giving compact carriage along with a strong topline with correct undercarriage, just slightly drops off at the croup that leads into her strong tapering tail that she carried well.  Her rear is balanced with moderate bend of stifle,  well muscled second thigh standing on straight hocks. She come into her own showing her character on the move so she stood out covering the ground holding her shape. she  stepped up a gear in the challenge but sadly was moved to fast losing her footing on the surface she moved better when moving steady.
2nd: 6770 SLANEY, Mr Philip & SLANEY, Mrs Andrea Kierlaceyan Double Trouble, 8 mths, red black mask, this youngster is showing great strength with a lovely nature. She is good for size with substance although just in the developing stages of growth at the moment for her age. Not quite as balanced as 1, being a little bum high so just needs more time to come together. With a lovely alert expression, skull has fair wrinkle when interested just needs to develop a little more for the squareness asked for in the standard. V-shaped small neat ears folding forward, pronounced stop, darkest of eyes that draw you in, cheeks well filled, muzzle has depth and width with a lovely clean lip line. She has the look of smiling at you with a lovely dark pigment. Well arched clean neck of good length, chest is wide and deep with being let down between her well boned straight forelegs that are set wide apart.  Just has a tendency to slightly turn her feet out. Pasterns strong, tight feet with rounded toes, short in back, ribs well sprung, short no muscular loins. Rear angles are sadly just affected being a little straighter than preferred by being a little bum high, although showing great second thigh for one so young, moved well when settled.

1st: 6784 WARREN, Mr W & Mrs A Crimlisk Spicy Shiraz Of Copperfield, 11 mths, fawn black mask, this young lady wowed me when she walked in the ring with a diva look about her who demanded attention even though stood alone. For one so young she is very mature in head and body yet still a mischievous puppy that needs guidance from her charge to get the very best out of her. She certainly didn't disappoint when I got my hands on her. Must say I do feel she is something special and believe she will have a very successful show career ahead of her with me being her number one fan.  Wishing her all the best and will follow her with interest.  The minute I had my hands on her thought something very special has got to come in and take my breath away for the opportunity of taking the ticket from her.  Absolutely loved her breed type actually similar traits to her sire, quality throughout, head being square from every angle showing strength yet still being feminine. Beautiful dark mask and pigmentation on her clear fawn coat. Skull is deep of fair wrinkle when interested, medium sized v-shaped ears folded forward that she used to her full advantage being alert and active at all times. Super dark eye with a very mischievous look about her giving a lovely expression, cheeks well filled, balanced muzzle to skull ratio which has width and depth finishing the picture with a strong underjaw. Clean neck leading into a lovely front assembly, she has equal fore and after balanced angles, chest is wide and developing so well for age. Straight well boned forelegs set wide apart standing on tight cat-like feet. Back short with a strong level topline, ribs well sprung, good depth to flank with being short in loin, being extra critical she don't need any more weight in that area.  Hindlegs well developed with great second thigh, hocks moderately bent being strong which she used to drive round the ring being free flowing on a loose lead.  With lovely front reach showing off her balanced harmonious movement, holding her beautiful shape with nothing going anywhere it shouldn't. Although she played her stand in handler up in the challenge, her qualities still shone through but to get the best out of her I needed to switch handlers which I did. She then settled and moved again being handled to perfection so just couldn't deny her of the very deserving BCC & BPIB.  I was then delighted to watch her take WPG3. One of the 3 litter mate's I see all different with such individual qualities, so congratulations to the breeder.

1st: 6760 ASTON, Mr R & ASTON, Mrs K & BOWEN, Mrs A Astonpride Poison Ivy, 15 mths, red black mask, this youngster is just on the smaller size in frame although enough bone. I feel she could benefit from carrying a little more weight to fulfil her lovely clean shape just looks very athletic so needs more all over to fill her frame. I'm sure she will benefit from maturity in time but no denying she still has a lot to like about her, great definition to muscle tone being active and alert she could definitely do a good days work. Head is in proportion to body, with it being strong and square in skull with nice ratio to muzzle, fairly wrinkled in head so wouldn't want any more, ears well set folding forward, lovely dark eye that gives an alert keen expression. With a dark mask with good pigmentation, cheeks well filled, short muzzle with a strong underjaw. Straight forelegs set wide apart with short straight pasterns and good feet, balanced fore and after angles with a strong straight backline that is level with short muscular loins. Just a little to tucked up, good spring of ribs, hindquarters are well muscled good bend of stifle hocks well bent showing strength giving her the square balance asked for in the standard. A little unsettled in movement yet still her clean outline stood out just lacked the maturity I was looking for in the challenge one to watch in the future though.

1st: 6782 WARREN, Mr W & Mrs A Anmenta Arabella Allen Of Copperfield (Imp) Aus, 18 mths, fawn black mask, she is good for size with a lovely balanced body her head just needs to mature and develop a little more to catch up to her powerful symmetrical balanced body, which has such a clean outline of great bone and substance with muscle developing nicely. Great outgoing character with a sound temperament, being active and enduring, not overdone in any aspect. She has a steady calm expression would just prefer a little more width and depth of head ratios for balance to body. Ears need to settle still, enough wrinkle when interested, good stop, tight flews with clean lip line, excellent well muscled neck that leads into a very well-made front assembly with great return of upper arm, leading into a strong straight back. Ample forechest, elbows neatly tucked in, straight forelegs, pasterns need to slightly tighten, good feet lovely short nails. Ribs very well sprung and nice depth to flanks. Great strength to her balanced hindquarters with well developed first and second thighs with hocks moderately bent and strong which allowed her to flow round the ring with spirit showing a fabulous eye-catching side gait with being true coming and going holding her topline with great reach and drive, just missed out in the challenge on head not being mature enough but a great mover.
2nd: 6787 WILLIAMS, Ms Pamela June Kierlaceyan Emma Jayne, 3 yrs, red, black mask, she has a stronger head than 1 just not the overall balance or movement. Once again lovely size being strong yet feminine with lovely substance to her. She has a nice shape but a little over wrinkled on the wither which takes away how clean she could be. She has a relaxed calm expression when settled, skull is square of good width would just prefer a more pronounced stop. Ears set high which she used to her advantage, darkest of eyes with good pigmentation. Cheeks need more fill, muzzle short and cut off square, overall, her head is just a little heavy in wrinkle certainly wouldn't want any more.  Nicely arched neck of fair length showing strength leading into moderate fore and after angles, well muscled shoulders slightly sloping with deep brisket. Well-developed chest which is both wide and deep also well let down between her well boned straight forelegs, having plenty of heart room, pasterns slightly sloping, feet ok, huge spring of ribs with slight length to loin, back just needs to strengthen for a stronger topline.  Croup well filled leading into her high set tail which was just tucked under her at times with being slightly unsettled. Enough rear angulation, hocks need to strengthen which was noticeable when moving away, coming towards was ok. Just needs a little more energy on the move, handled patiently being encouraged by her charge at all times.
