litter brother to 1st, very similar to look at but smaller built, still young & I suspect slower maturing than his brother, well shaped head, strong jaws, good almond shaped eye & large well set ears, body needs to fill out yet, firm in his top line with slight arch over his loin, needs more confidence in himself when moving & should do well with maturity.

Class 1805 LD (6 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 3389 BEAGRIE, Mrs A & BEAGRIE, Mr A Feldhund Moonlight JW

won puppy dog under me & still appeals in breed type, sired by my previous C.C. winner & can see his stamp, lovely conical head with well set eye & ears, correct length of keel & elbows tightly held into body, despite a shade long in body holds a firm top line both stood & on the move, in hard muscular condition & well presented coat of good strong texture, nicely slopes away gradually to his well placed tail, some days looks bored & does not do himself any favours but today he pulled out all the stops to take Res C.C. in strong competition.
2nd: 3420 PHILLIPS, Mrs Valerie Tendrow Rubens Hagrid

shade larger in size but well balanced & stood he gives a super profile picture, sadly today his mind was wandering & not putting in his best performance, he is masculine, with a lovely shaped head, firm neck & in excellent body condition, gleaming strong red coat, excellent feet, carries his tail correctly.

A lovely class to judge with some good dogs going unplaced.
1st: 3407 MCCALMONT, Mrs Kim & MCCALMONT, Mr Duncan Ch Covellyn's Cecil At Silvae ( Imp Che)

not one who has caught my eye ringside but to go over he is appealing in balance & construction, super head, eye & ears, the head is of conical shape & his neck flows into well placed shoulders with good length of upper arm, firm well held elbows & prominent pro sternum, in excellent body condition with ribbing well back, firm short loin, powerful sound hindquarters,  would like a shade more rounded rump, in harsh coat that is not over abundant, full of vigour & showed himself to advantage at all times. C.C. & B.O.B.
2nd: 3408 MCCALMONT, Mrs Kim & MCCALMONT, Mr Duncan Ch Silvae Bystander

another quality male from this consistent kennel, well shaped in head with large well placed ears, has strength of jaw, like his size as he is masculine but houndy in outline, presents a profile of flowing lines, good coat texture & again not over coated, well set tail & carriage is good, excellent feet, just prefer rear driving movement of 1st over this one today.

8 yr old masculine hound, not a lot of coat on him today but well muscled, nicely shaped head, has a pleasing front & good length of keel, top line not now as firm as it once was, well set tail, not putting in a lot of enthusiasm when moving but prefer the amount of ground clearance over 2nd.
2nd: 3415 OSBOURNE, Mr Paul W Derochaise Vincenzo Di Braego

another 8 yr old male who did move better than 1st today but would prefer shade longer in leg & body ground clearance, in good body condition & thankfully not heavy in build, well shaped head with good ear placement, well shaped feet of correct size.

litter sister to MPB & very similar in shape but larger in build which is all in flowing proportions, a much heavier coat but it is strong & of good texture, looks the type you can strip & will have a good coat underneath ready for the show ring, desirable head, eye & ear, excellent body, sound but reluctant mover but then when challenging pulled out all the stops & showed she can do it when she wants. Another with good potential.

1st: 3425 ROWE, Mrs Jenny Cloudside Xamira With Boloria

pleasing for size & shape, good prosternum & well held elbows, firm top line despite being a shade heavy over her loin (less treats), she is feminine & looks a handful to show for her handler, moved better in front than from her rear today.

1st: 3390 BEAGRIE, Mrs A & BEAGRIE, Mr A Feldhund Show The Way JW

this one did not appeal to me as a puppy but gosh has she blossomed, her profile on the stack catches your eye, holds herself with pride & everything flowing, excellent head, firm neck, again slightly long but holds that top line firm, clean under line, just enough coat of harsh texture & very well presented with good muscular hammy rear, well held tail, excellent feet, today moved with confidence & enough width both front & rear. Res C.C.
2nd: 3406 MCCALMONT, Mrs Kim & MCCALMONT, Mr Duncan Silvae Hallmark

another quality hound who was full of vigour & wanting to please, very much a show girl who at times just needs to relax to the job in hand, loved the head, strong well set neck, excellent ear size & set on, in good coat, good length of keel, standing her top & under line are spot on, moving just tending to want to rush & top then not as good.

1st: 3405 MCCALMONT, Mrs Kim & MCCALMONT, Mr Duncan Ch Silvae Time After Time At Bronia

long time favourite of mine who did not disapoint when going over, quality in abundance, excellent in head & neck, the best of fronts, in tip top body condition, coat is double & of correct texture, excellent top & under lines, correct feet well arched & firm, has good depth of chest & ribbing going well back, short strong loin, stands firm in her rear neither close nor wide, moved sound with precise footing, strong contender for top awards just felt todays enviroment was not up to her standards & did not have her usual bold defiant demeanour. Top quality hound.
2nd: 3409 MCCALMONT, Mrs Kim & MCCALMONT, Mr Duncan Ch Silvae Fan The Flames

similar in size & construction to her kennel mate, you can spot the kennel type a mile away from this breeding which is to be congratulated,has the most lovely head, eye & ear well set, lovely profile standing & in tip top condition, excellent ribbing & loin with sound firm hocks & has good upper thigh length, correct tail carriage, although moved soundly was not covering the ground with as much ease as 1, another worthy Ch.

1st: 3396 CLAYTON-SMITH, Mrs Suzanne Joy Cairparavel Kiss From A Rose JW

the first time I ever seen this bitch in the ring I was drawn to her & today I have never seen her looking better, excellent conical shaped head, lovely eye & expression, good sized ears well set on, correct in shoulder & upper arm, well shaped feet well knuckled, in good body condition with ribbing going well back & firm in her short loin, would prefer a little more width in her rear but uses her front well to reach out, in good coat & condition for her 8yrs, should have gained her title but competition in the breed has been tough.
