1st Olijah Going in Deep (Miss O Timm's)

A mature 8th month old dark brindle puppy, with an attractive head that is developing nicely. Soft expression, dark eyes, good upsweep of lower jaw and he has correct ear, eye and nose placement. Although his ears are a little too large for his head at this moment, they are a super shape and are placed well, all should catch up with more time. Pleasing body shape with enough bone and substance. Straight front, moderate angulation and a small tail is present which is set low. Moved well both coming and going. BPD, BP

2nd Khanin His A Naughty Boy (Mr R, Mrs M & Mrs J D Smith & Pratt

Another mature puppy at 8 months old. A handsome boy with a clear Fawn coat that is soft in texture, and he has a super dark mask. Strong head, broad skull, good breadth and depth of muzzle, correct upsweep of under jaw and I liked his ears for placement, size and shape. Enough bone and substance, a shapely body and is masculine throughout. Moved okay

1st Scandal Blockbusterfrenchies at Bellicose (imp) (Mrs L Smith)

I admired this 9 month old dark brindle boy for his size and balance. Square head with a typical expression complimented by his dark expressive eyes, broad muzzle that has enough padding, neat lips, good fill under the eye and well developed cheek muscles. I liked his body shape, ideal length of back, strong loin, good spring of rib and he has good angulation. Once he settled, he moved well. He's a smart boy and a lovely type.

2nd Zimblistic Spooky Charm Delightbul (Miss L Wood)

A promising brindle pied puppy who is just under 11 months old. I also liked his size, type and balance. He is soundly constructed with good angulation, a gentle roach, good spring of rib, straight front and strong rear assembly. I particularly liked his head, it's square with a broad skull and good width and depth of muzzle. His expression is animated, soft, yet remains masculine, with dark and appealing eyes. I would prefer for his ears to be a tad bigger, but they are set well and are a lovely shape. Another smart mover who covered the ground with a sure footed gait

Brindle pied dog, 14 months. I was attracted to this boy for his size and type. He has a good reach of neck which is muscular and strong. I liked his construction, correct front assembly, spring of rib, gentle rise over the loin, and he has strong muscular rear end. Head is square and balanced, with a good width of muzzle, broad skull, dark round eyes, supple wrinkling on forehead and beautiful bat ears set perfectly which are the correct size for his head. He moved effortlessly both coming and going holding his topline.

Handsome Brindle boy with dark round expressive eyes, bat ears carried parallel and used constantly, well developed cheek muscles and super upsweep of lower jaw, muzzle is deep, broad and well cushioned all contributing to his square balanced head and an expression that is masculine yet remaining soft without any hint of coarseness. He is compact, cobby, broad at his shoulders, slightly tapering towards his rear end resulting in a pear shaped body when looking from above. Well sprung ribs, deep chest, adequate reach of neck, strong muscular loin, gentle roach, straight front and moderate angulation. He looked super in profile, and just as good on the move, full of breed type and all wrapped up in the correct sized package. At 23 months old this boy is on the brink of maturity and one to watch out for. RCC

Ch Xentique Pandamonium for Baclaudi JW ShCM (Miss D Hogan)

Brindle Pied. Look past a few silver highlights that come with time, and you are faced with a little dog that is defying the aging process. No one has told him that he's over 10 years old, he's still strutting his stuff around the ring, showing off his free flowing movement and looking fit and muscular. I love his type and size, and he is balanced throughout. He's a great ambassador for the breed and one to be proud of. BV

1st Bincombefarm Serpensortia JW (Mrs K & Mr N & Mrs K P French)

Clear Brindle Pied with a half hood, 2 years old. She has a beautifully balanced head with perfect ear, eye, nose placement. Dark expressive eyes enhance her comical expression, and pigment has already started to fill on her eyelid. A broad, deep muzzle with a super up sweep of lower jaw. Totally feminine throughout with the correct amount of bone and substance for her size. Her body is cobby with the correct depth of chest, straight front, neat tuck up, a gentle rise over the loin and moderate angulation, these are just a few of her virtues. But what I particularly liked about this girl was that not only is she full of breed type and the correct size, I found nothing exaggerated and she is completely moderate throughout. She looks great standing and in profile, in fact she looked great at any angle. Her construction and angulation supplied her with the tools she needed to move with reach and drive. Her light footed, free flowing almost floating action, is a sight to see, the more I moved her the better she looked, she is so sound. She took me back in time, she is old school, and I loved her.
