PD (2,0)

1. Codling’s Shishalee’s Sex Bomb. Two most promising pups competed in this class who turned out to be litter brothers. This 9 mth long haired red was my winner and he appealed for overall balance and type. Slightly arched neck of good length, pleasing topline, rib developing well, correct croup and tail of good carriage. Attractive head and expression with slightly rounded skull, defined stop, excellent eye and ear, good pigmentation and scissor bite. Pleasing angles front and rear and he stands on compact oval-shaped feet. Stylish brisk action and carriage on the go around, firm hind action and more than ok coming towards. Best Puppy.

2. Wakefield’s Shishalee’s I’m Too Sexy. This long haired brown/tan boy also presented a well-balanced outline with lean neck of good length, firm topline, ribbing extends well back, short loin, correct croup and tail pleased for set and carriage. Quality headpiece with adorable expression; first class eye and ear, lean muzzle of correct length to balance and scissor bite. Good angles both ends but not quite as good in elbow as his brother and therefore doesn’t stand quite as well in front. Brimming over with attitude and uses himself fully when gaiting, pleasing on the go around and when viewed from the rear.

1. McLeod’s Piccolito Macchiato at Dunline. 18 mth old long haired black/tan. This youngster pleased for type and presented a very nice outline with slightly arched neck of correct length to balance, firm through the topline, correct croup and tail carriage. Well proportioned head with super expression; slightly rounded skull, good stop, dark eyes of correct size and shape, fringed ears set on high and correct dentition. Moderately angulated both ends and stands on excellent feet. Gaiting freely on the down and back with good carriage but just could open up a tad more on the go around.

1. Casey’s Russiandream Ezra Elliot for Shamal. Two long haired black/tans challenged here and they couldn’t have been more different. This 3 yr old came out on top and he made the most of himself at all times. He presented a nice square outline and has the elegance of the breed; good length of neck, short back with correct topline and croup, pleasing rib and tail of good carriage. Most appealing head and expression; slightly rounded skull, correct stop, excellent ears, pleasing eye and lean muzzle. Correct angles front and rear and he has nice compact oval-shaped feet but he could stand tidier in front. Moves out briskly with attitude on the go around and ok on the down and back.

2. King’s Jorah Viserys Sarasha. 2 yr old out of a larger mould than the winner. Neck of good length, firm topline, pleasing length to ribcage and tail of good carriage. Slightly rounded skull, expressive eyes, correct stop and dentition but he is very heavily coated and the amount of hair on his ears affects their carriage. He stands on compact oval-shaped feet but when gaiting couldn’t quite match the overall action and carriage of winner.

OD (4,0)

Good class with my first three placings particularly appealing.

1. Orchard’s Manatek Cushti Rye. 4 yr old long haired black/tan who is full of quality and was a pleasure to go over. I thought him bang on for type and he is so good in outline, elegant and finely boned. Long, slightly arched neck, short back with firm topline, excellent ribbing, correct croup and sickle tail just right for set and carriage. Super headed boy with slightly rounded skull, the best of eyes and ears, defined stop, lean pointed muzzle and scissor bite. Correct angulation for the breed front and rear, good length of leg, elbows close to the body and he stands on excellent feet. Showy lad who makes the most of himself particularly when gaiting with his brisk, eye catching profile action and carriage. Good coat and presentation. Best Dog & BOB.

2. Harrison’s Lux/Fed Bih/Slo/Hr Ch Russiandream Floki Cannoli Ww24. 2 yr old long haired red. This boy was another who very much appealed and was good hands on. He has a touch more bone than the winner and pleased for balance and outline with long, lean neck, firm topline, excellent ribbing and loin and well feathered tail of good carriage. Masculine headpiece with super ears for size and set, eyes of good colour and lean pointed muzzle but just preferred the overall expression of winner. Soundly constructed all through and he stands on correct feet. Another who shows himself off to advantage and he moved out very well on the go around. Reserve Best Dog.

3. Orchard & Holyland’s Cze Ch Vivaprima Turmalin Royal (Imp Lva)

VD (1,0)

1. Orchard & Holyland’s Multi Ch Fiesta Show Russian Pride (Imp Blr). 7 yr old long haired black/tan. Lively lad who does all that is asked of him and was obviously enjoying his time in the ring. He pleased for type and outline with a super length of neck which is lean and slightly arched, short back, good length to ribcage, firm loin and well feathered tail of good carriage. Balanced headpiece with masculine expression; correct skull, defined stop, excellent eye and ear, pointed muzzle which is nice and lean and scissor bite. Correct angles front and rear and standing on compact oval-shaped feet. Moves out with characteristic brisk action. Best Veteran.

PB (2,0)

1. Holyland’s Ollarena Saffi Ari. 8 mth old long haired red. A little unsettled on the table but she did enough to garner this placement. Rather raw but she shows much promise and pleased for overall type. Long, lean neck, short back with pretty good topline, ribbing developing as it should, short loin and good tail carriage. Quality head with feminine expression; correct skull, good stop, large fringed ears, eyes good for shape, size and colour and scissor bite. Pleasing angulation and she went so well on the go around which is where she scored here. Best Puppy Bitch.

2. Wakefield’s Shishalee’s Glamour Girl. This 9 mth old long haired red has so much to like and she was close up to the winner here. She presented a nicely balanced outline with a super neck, short back, pleasing rib development, correct croup for the breed and sickle tail of good carriage. Most attractive head with slightly rounded skull, expressive eyes, fringed ears set on high, lean pointed muzzle and good dentition. She stands on compact oval-shaped feet and moved freely on the down and back but winner just had the edge when viewed in profile. Good coat.

PGB (2,0)

1. Berrington’s Anna Pavlova von Pappersley. 2 yr old long haired black/tan. This girl used herself to advantage in this class and she scored in outline with long, lean neck, firm topline, correct ribbing and well feathered sickle tail of good carriage. Feminine headpiece with slightly rounded skull, clearly defined stop, excellent ears which are nicely fringed, expressive eyes of good colour and correct dentition. Pleasing angles front and rear but she is a little wider standing in front. When gaiting, she pleased on the go around and has good self carriage.

2. Wakefield’s Ollarena’s Yasnaja at Shishalee. 2 yr old long haired red. Not quite length of neck of winner but she is short in back with a good topline, ribbing extends well back, short in the couplings and tail pleased for carriage. Attractive headpiece with feminine expression; correct skull, excellent fringed ears, dark eyes of correct shape and size, lean muzzle of correct length to balance head and scissor bite. Standing on excellent feet she moved freely on the down and back but winner just had the edge on the go around.

OB (6,2)

1. Harrison’s Slo/Lux/Hr Ch Russiandream Fifi Banoffee Ww24 Ew24. This was another good open class which gave me plenty to think about. This long haired red came out on top and she was a delight hands on. Feminine all through, she presented a lovely outline with long, lean neck which is slightly arched, short back with firm topline, correct ribbing and loin and well feathered sickle tail which she carries high. Quality head which is full of femininity; correct skull, defined stop, dark expressive eyes, ears set on just right and lean, pointed muzzle. Soundly built front and rear and she stands just right in front on excellent feet. Gaiting true when coming and going and moving out briskly with confident carriage. Best Bitch.

2. Harrison’s Slo/Lux/Fed Bih/Bih Ch Russiandream Emily Poppins. Long haired red approaching 4 yrs. Another soundly constructed girl from the same kennel and she too shows herself off to advantage. Lean, slightly arched neck of good length, firm topline, ribbing carried well back and sickle tail of good carriage. Attractive head with feminine expression; excellent skull, defined stop, dark eyes of good size, fringed ears set on well and correct length of muzzle to balance head. Correct angulation front and rear with elbows held close to the body. Pleasing gait all through with particularly good hind action. Reserve Best Bitch.
