2nd: GRIFFITHS’ Tawnymeade Moonshine, 10 month old Orange Belton, good bone and substance, level topline, head needs a little more work but this should improve with maturity, moved soundly. Preferred croup of the winner.

3rd PEARSON’s Bournehouse Augustus At Yessandi

Class MPD (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: TAYLOR’s Kanietter Goldmandine Of Tattay light blue belton, in lovely coat and condition. Straight front, good angulation throughout, correct substance, well sprung ribs for his age, level topline, dark eye and a sound mover.  

2nd: MCDOWELL’s Byedales Inspector Clueso, 7 month old tri colour, very raw but shows promise, his head is developing well, this boy just needs gentle handling and time.

Class PD (4 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: NEATH’s Albadora Total Madness

Dark blue belton, lovely type, head has a defined stop with the correct skull shape and kind expression. In good coat and condition, good length of neck and level topline. Super bone and plenty of substance, just needs time to gain the strength in front, which I am sure will come soon enough. Sound moving dog.

2nd: TAYLOR’s Kanietter Goldmandine Of Tattay

3rd: GRIFFITHS’ Tawnymeade Moonshine

Class JD (6 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: SIMPSON & SIMPSON’s Dalreavoch I'm On Fire. Orange belton, flashy and stylish. Good head and expression, strong bone and good substance. He still has time on his side and I think he will mature into a very smart boy.

2nd: ARKLEY & ARKLEY’s Oshowa Dream Lover, Blue belton, good type, lovely head with a kind expression. Correct front, with good substance, moved soundly.

3rd: GRIFFITHS’ Tawnymeade Moonshine

Class PGD (8 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: DANKS-KEMISH & LITTLECHILD’s Ravensett Just An Illusion With Alolfrana JW mature and flashy orange belton, in excellent coat. Super head with dark eye with a lovely expression, straight front with a strong, level topline. I would like more angulation in his upper arm and he needs to strengthen in rear movement, once he tightens and strengthens behind, then he will be right up there.

2nd: STEWART’s Tattersett Stolen Silver, blue Belton, lovely type, correct head and dark eye giving a kind expression. Level topline, moved soundly.

3rd: TUCKER’s Walshaw One More Night

Class LD (6 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: TUCKER's Mariglen Nightwish For Walshaw, light blue belton who has reached maturity now, could be slightly more refined in head, but the proportions are fine, he has good bone and substance, super depth to chest, straight front, correct spring of rib and decent lay back of shoulder, level topline, his overall soundness won him the Res CC

2nd: PITTS’ Wandsfell Dreamkeeper tri colour, I did like this dog for type, he was sound and moved with style. He was in excellent coat and condition, with good depth and substance throughout.

3rd: THOMSON's Maursett Morganite For Caspellwynd

1st: VALLANCE's Rowanmyle Was A Skellum ShCEx, blue belton, good depth and substance, straight front, correct angulation in upperarm and hindquarters, good lay back of shoulder, strong, level topline, decent croup. He moves well, nothing too flashy about him, but he gets the job done and he is true. Dog CC, his 3rd I was led to believe, congratulations, he deserves the title.

2nd: COOK’s Sh Ch Pernickety Quiddity, orange belton, I liked this dog, he has a lovely shape to his head, he has a good, straight front, muscular and lean neck with correct shoulder placement. Good depth to his ribs with a level topline. Decent in croup and carried his tail well. In good coat. Today he was carrying too much weight which lost him a potential green card, but, that said, he is a worthy Sh Ch

3rd: HEPBURN’s Tattersett Rainbow Legacy

1st: WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS’ Goldbirch Northern Disco At Skippit, light blue belton, straight front, good depth and moved soundly. 

2nd: KEMP-TAYLOR's Quensha's Strawberry Swing, dark tri colour, super head and expression, straight in front, a little low in croup, moved soundly.

3rd: SMITH’s Lara From Valjevo Green Fields Of Meadowrush Int J

Class VB (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: GRIMSDELL’s Sh Ch Tattersett Dark Honey JW, feminine orange belton, in good coat and condition and balanced throughout. Good length of neck, deep in chest with well sprung ribs. Level topline and a good tail set. A very elegant lady who is still at the top of her game. Best Veteran. 

2nd: SHARPLES Sh Ch Mariglen Serendipity At Kanietter Jw, orange belton, lovely type, good substance, straight front, short coupled and moved soundly.

3rd: SEAMAN’s Mariglen Dusty Blonde Sgwc

1st: ISHERWOOD & ISHERWOOD’s Larrenie Paperheart Of Laverstoke, 8 month Tri colour, I liked this youngster, she has everything in the right place, lovely head and expression, dark eyes, good length of neck, straight in front, level topline. All going well she should have a bright future. Best Puppy.

2nd: MCDOWELL’s Byedales Agatha Christie, 7 month old orange belton, good head and expression with a dark eye. Level topline, moved well.

3rd: REID’s Diersett Moon Of The Skies

1st: WATKIN's Albadora Totally Yours For Valsett, 11 month old orange belton, great substance and bone, good head and kind expression. Decent length of neck, good shoulders and level topline. Correct spring of rib for her age. Just preferred the croup of the minor puppy. Moved sound and true.

2nd: TRIGWELL, Sharnyx Luella At Hannahdene, lovely type, good head and dark eye, should tighten up in front, just needs time as there’s lots to like and she certainly has enthusiasm.

3rd: COLTON, Rowanmyle Box Of Delights For Ennydloc

1st: WELBURN & WELBURN’s, Oshowa Love To Dream Jw 17 month old blue belton, lovely type, correct, feminine head. Straight in front, with good depth and substance, level topline, moved true, both coming and going.

2nd: STEPHENSON & STEPHENSON’s, Bournehouse In Dreams At Steeplow. Orange belton, so feminine and a wonderful type, she has a lovely coat and was in excellent condition. Her head is correct and her eyes are dark, she has so much promise, her angles are good throughout and her topline is level, so I was disappointed that she just would not move today, I presume it was a hormonal issue because she is made so well and should be able to move true all day long.

3rd: SIMPSON & SIMPSON’s Dalreavoch She's The One

1st: HUTCHINSON & DENNIS, Mariglen My Heart Will Go On With Monaysbridge JW, feminine blue belton, correct head proportions, dark eyes, in excellent coat and condition. Good angles all through, true in front, good length of neck, decent layback of shoulder, level topline. She is a very capable girl who should gain her title, she doesn’t appear easy to handle and so doesn’t always give her best on the move, but she’s still young. Res CC

2nd: DANKS-KEMISH & LITTLECHILD’s Ravensett Allegra With Alolfrana, another feminine blue belton who I liked for type. Correct head and super expression. She is a sound mover and carries a level topline, she has balance and substance and another, who will probably gain their title, she just needs time. 

3rd: KEMP-TAYLOR’s Quensha's Strawberry Swing

1st: SEAMAN’s Mariglen Villanelle, feminine tri colour, lovely type with a well proportioned head. Muscular and lean neck, good layback of shoulders, level topline with decent spring of ribs. Straight in front and well bent stifles. Her muscle tone was good making her movement extremely true and effortless. I thought she was so elegant and deserved her win today. Her title shouldn’t be far away. CC & BOB

2nd: BUCKLEY’s Fishwick Fortune Cookie dark tri colour, another quality girl, lovely type, mature and balanced. She has a super head and expression, good length of neck and a decent layback of shoulder, straight front and a level topline, correct bend of stifle. She moved soundly but lacked enthusiasm which cost her today.

3rd: WELBURN & WELBURN’s Oshowa Dream Come True

1st: DENNIS, HARRIS & MORGAN’s Mariglen Unwrapped JW, tri colour, lovely type, balanced head, decent length of neck and good layback of shoulders, she has a level topline and moved soundly.

2nd: COOK’s Pernickety Quartz, dark blue belton, very feminine, correct, balanced head, soft expression, decent length of neck going into good shoulders, level topline and moved soundly enough but she just wasn’t focussed on her task and wasn’t giving her best. 

3rd: WELSH & LOAKES, Goldbirch Burning Desire

Judge: Tereza Watkins
