Class 1822 LD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 3445 KAY, Mrs J & KAY, Miss J Kaytian The Suncaller

not in the heaviest of coats but has good texture, another who took a while to settle but when he did he shone out for his sound movement, has that desirable free flowing stride that covers the ground with ease, dark almond eyes, scores well for size & looks the correct body weight, nicely constructed front, good top line & gradual arch over his loin, well set rear with correct tail set & carriage. Res C.C. & should be rewarded for movement alone.
2nd: 3451 KIRKWOOD-EMERY, Misses A & A Helydon Xtra Xpecial JW another who impressed me & has a strong double coat, lots to like but prefer the rear drive that 1st has, hopefully with maturity will strengthen in rear & should do well, houndy head with correct eye & ear, firm neck & top line, good feet.

Class 1823 OD (5 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 3443 JONES, Mrs Sabrina Ch Bimini Song Sung Blue JW

another who appeals for size & weight he put in a grand performance in the class just not as settled when challenging today, easy to see why he has his title he was another I felt was not relaxed in this hall today, well constructed body frame & in hard muscular condition, excellent coat, loved the head with almond eyes obliquely set.
2nd: 3462 THORN ANDREWS, Mrs Z Drakesleat Gud News

caught my attention for his good size & profile, just not giving his best today, again possibly the hall & tanoy as he was at times clamping his tail down & spoiling his profile when moving, despite this his movement was sound fore & aft & has the right amount of width front & rear, conical head with good strong jaw, well set ears of correct size.

rather on the wide side both front & rear, good keel & is well bodied, more mature than one & moved ok just not the verve of 1st, well set tail.

houndy conical shaped head, strong firm jaw, almond obliquely set eyes, lovely clean firm neck flowing into well placed shoulder & corresponding upper arm, correct keel & well held elbows, excellent body weight & appealing top & under lines, firm loin, rounded rump & well placed tail carried correctly, for me it was the parallel foot movement that made her stand away giving excellent free flowing reach & drive, for me she had the best hindquarters in todays entry. C.C. & B.O.B. later shortlisted in a good group, well done.
2nd: 3444 JONES, Mrs Sabrina Ch Bimini Moonlight

very similar in her size & shape to 1st, lots to admire & pushed hard for top spot, in excellent double coat, sound front & rear with good muscle tone, excellent body weight, clean flowing profile, very nice front with balanced shoulder & upper arm, good keel, loved the houndy head & oval eye, strong well set neck, firm top line, just felt 1st pulled out all the stops & was covering more ground on the move today, worthy title holder, Res C.C.
