1. BATES - Crumpsbrook Hendrick

Nine months long balanced head I preferred slightly to the second placed brother at present as I did with his coat finish presently. Typical in all respects well constructed overall pleasing eye colour shape and set ears set high lying close affectionate alert expression. Firm across the loins for a puppy, two promising youngsters, BPD.

2. GRAHAM & GRAHAM - Crumpsbrook Jager
 

Brother to the winner similar remarks apply to this impressive litter which crops up later in the bitch classes both were fit and this dog notably well muscled in hindquarters and in better body condition than the winner. He carried less coat on the day but both were sound free movers.

1. MIDDLETON & TROWSDALE - Elmer Vom Blitzenbach At Amasffoy (imp Deu)

Two and a half years slightly square in outline typical slightly sloping top-line good bone firm tight feet head balanced and cleanly moulded slight stop lips close fitting and dry. Won his place as the soundest mover in the class on the day in my opinion steady lengthy strides with free moving profile action typical head and tail carriage. Excellent set and height at shoulders and withers taut fit body with good depth of brisket tail pleasingly feathered set and carried.

2. GRIFFITHS ROSE - Vonstrahlend Kam Das Leben

Attractive outline muscular neck smoothly set into shoulders and chest. Powerful hindquarters with deep second thigh muscling not quite the positive rear movement of the winner on the day in my opinion.

Super strongly padded tight feet excellent bone strong pasterns standing well over the ground hocks well set.

Four years nine months squarely and solidly built presented in very fit muscled condition could be a tad tighter at the elbows I considered powerful muscled hind quarters with deep muscled second thighs. Strong neck well set into shoulders strong bone throughout most pleasing typical in all regards I considered just not quite the masculine head finish and firm movement of the winner on the day.

1. PEARCE - Tralale Feath At Cabadaich

Rising two and a half years won the class on her superior movement though not carrying quite the body finish of the second placed on the day in my opinion. Pleasing for breed type head in proportion nicely moulded strong neck well set into shoulders good spring and depth of ribcage I considered her standing on firmer tighter feet than the second and attractively presented.

2. ROBINS - Tarkanya Ritas Ruby With Destanli (az4)

Two years two months solid straight well bone front standing good spring and length of ribcage excellent solid body condition taut abdomen. Shoulders well laid strong neck pleasing affectionate expression with attractive eye colour shape and set. Impressive for overall fit presentation with powerful hindquarter and second thigh muscling for her age slightly lacking in feathering on the day in my opinion.

LB (4,0)
1. FOREMAN - Toberworry Little Lies

Three and half years squarely built well balanced outline with impressive free flowing profile action on the move won the class on her sound movement. Excellent strong bone and tight slightly rounded well padded feet front construction solid straight and firm at elbows. Elongated balanced head with most appealing alert soft expression full nostrils strong hindquarter muscling for her age.

2. BARGMAN - Crumpsbrook Alchemilla

Three years three months I considered slightly more raised at the withers than the winner with typical breed outline strong muscular neck the very best of quality bone and excels in firmness of feet and upstanding presence. Head set on correct planes skull to muzzle dark eye colour well set and shaped a darker coloured bitch than the winner slightly lacking coat finish on rump and tail on the day it appeared.

3. EVANS - Tarkanya Sophies Sunflower

OB (4,0)
1. O'CONNELL & O'CONNELL - Jaudas On The Road Again

Three years nine months super upstanding energetic bitch with height at the withers slightly sloping top-line croup wide and slightly sloping thick based tail correctly set and tapering. Most appealing overall outline good length of upper arm excellent angulation throughout powerful muscular hindquarters. Solid fit body condition well covered and broad across the loins slight tuck up well sprung ribcage reaching well back with lovely depth of brisket and correct dense coat with true texture and full feathered finish. Lovely clean muzzle finish skull balanced on true planes most appealing dark eye colour and alert trusting expression wide soft nostrils. A very sound bitch on the move front and rear long free striding profile action with drive most deserving of the CC, congratulations.

2. LOGIE & BRAIDWOOD - Sh Ch Albadhu Final Encounter

Two years eight months highly typical quality exhibit raised at the withers with super breed balanced outline correct top-line muscular strong neck cleanly set into well placed shoulders especially impressive solid firm well built front with upright strong bone running through pasterns and thickly padded close feet well knuckled. Head nicely proportion slight stop sufficient broad well formed skull planes well set clean strong muzzle full open nostrils with powerful underjaw. In my opinion not quite the coat finish of the winner on the day sound in action but also preferred the first on the day for overall impression on the move. A most lovely young bitch a credit to the breed with more success to enjoy pleased to award her RCC, congratulations.

2. TROWSDALE & TROWSDALE - Quilesta So Special At Cazooska

Good strong bone still and well knuckled and firmly padded feet attractively feathered especially along tail. Excellent overall construction and breed balanced outline a free striding mover in profile impressive for her age with typical head and tail carraige.
