I had two excellent stewards to whom I give my sincere thanks. Some really good typical Bracco here today and I was impressed with the clean eyes and some really attractive heads. Temperaments were good, I was able to easily handle all of the exhibits - just a couple of the youngsters need more practice indoors.

Class 1. Puppy Dog

Entries: 6 Absentees: 1

1st Place 24 - Kelevra Asilo del Cucul (Miss S & Mr K Rush & Duggan). Smart and presents a very typical outline when stacked. Plrasing masculine head with divergent planes and well set ears. Moderate neck and dewlap. Good body and ribbing for age with some breadth over the loins. Good both out and back. Best Puppy in Breed.

2nd Place 2 - Callaiscroft Fait Accompli at Brevathos (Ms Se Atherton). Not quite as finished as the winner as yet but he does have some quality. Attractive head and expression, clean eyes. Good oval bone and nicely arched feet. Very good profile action with typical head carriage.

3rd Place 11 - Elfrindew Yankee Doodle (Mrs M & Mrs A Dodd & Struthers-Lake)

Class 2. Junior Dog

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place 9 - Gunsyn Superstitious (Mrs L Bowley). Well ribbed with good depth of chest and decent body for age. Very attractive head with gentle expression, divergent planes and lovely clean eyes. Pleasing forehand with good feet and pasterns. True both out and back and eye-catching in profile. A strong contender for top honours.

Class 3. Post Graduate Dog

Entries: 0 Absentees: 0

Class 4. Limit Dog

Entries: 6 Absentees: 3

1st Place 4 - Whitgun Renegade Master at Owlspoint JW ShCEx OSW (Miss A Bell). Particularly impressive on the move with a true, driving action and good deportment with his proud head carriage. Strong and well balanced with a grand head, clean eyes and well set ears. His good coat had a nice sheen to it. Could be a fraction cleaner over the shoulders. Shown in good muscular condition.

2nd Place 21 - Kelevra Bacchustabio (Ms C A & Mr S A Pearson). Typical head with kind, contemplative expression. Good nose pad. Moderate neck with slight dewlap, good shoulders, bone legs and feet. Very typical outline with slight tuck-up.

3rd Place 7 - Teverlarni Keep The Faith (Mrs C Bond)

Class 5. Open Dog

Entries: 7 Absentees: 0

1st Place 26 - Sh Ch Owlspoint Trouble Again JW ShCEx OSW (Mr M R & Mrs C R Sanderson). My first impression was of a strongly made, masculine, well balanced dog. He doesn’t disappoint upon handling him as he has depth of chest, good ribbing and some breadth and muscle tone over the loins giving a very typical topline. His well muscled hindquarters gave him plenty of drive on the move, he has good bone and very pleasing feet. CC & BOB.

2nd Place 3 - Tolriver Enzo at Owlspoint (Miss A Bell). Another really good moving, beautifully balanced dog. Masculine, attractive head with divergent planes and clean eyes. Well boned with nicely arched, well padded feet.

3rd Place 18 - Sh Ch Gunsyn Wave Runner in Brackenmist (ai) (Miss S & Mr A Mcandrew & Cooper)

Class 6. Veteran Dog

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place 27 - Sh Ch Owlspoint Trouble at Mill ShCM ShCEx VW Bwnl'18 (Mr M R & Mrs C R Sanderson). Very nearly 9 years of age but he has so much to commend him. Masculine but not coarse in any way. Strong, well ribbed body with good depth of chest, strong loin and slight tuck up. Excellent legs and feet. Clean head and eyes with good ear set and gentle expression. In the challenge I though he was very much like his younger kennel mate. Reserve CC.

Class 7. Special Beginners Dog

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

Class 8. Good Citizen Dog Scheme Dog

Entries: 0 Absentees: 0

Class 9. Puppy Bitch

Entries: 3 Absentees: 0

1st Place 36 - Elfrindew Bye Baby Buntin (Mrs R & Mr S Woodhouse). A confident, very typical youngster. Divergent head planes; good sized, clean eyes; gentle expression. Good forehand with slight slope to pasterns. Moved out soundly with good head carriage. Best Special Beginner.

2nd Place 29 - Teverlarni Lucky Star (Miss S & Ms L Smith). Attractive, feminine head and expression, decent depth of brisket with slight tuck up. Well angulated. Moved soundly but just needs a little more confidence in an indoor environment.

3rd Place 5 - Teverlarni Who's That Girl at Woodland Blue (Ms D R Blomfield)

Class 10. Junior Bitch

Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1st Place 17 - Gunsyn Supercala in Brackenmist (Miss S & Mr A Mcandrew & Cooper). Reserve CC. I see she is the littler sister to the handsome Junior dog and she has many of his qualities. In my rough notes I wrote CC quality. She presents a lovely outline with her good deportment, moderate neck, good depth of chest, slight tuck up and strong loin. Good bone and pleasing feet. Very impressive on the move.

2nd Place 5 - Teverlarni Who's That Girl at Woodland Blue (Ms D R Blomfield). Typical in nearly all respects and she too presents a good picture when stacked. Decent head with kind expression and pleasing forehand with well padded feet. Just needs a little more practice indoors. She was certainly more relaxed in her latter class.

Class 11. Post Graduate Bitch

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0

1st Place 17 - Gunsyn Supercala in Brackenmist (Miss S & Mr A Mcandrew & Cooper)

Class 12. Limit Bitch

Entries: 3 Absentees: 2

1st Place 35 - Withamfriary Sicily (Mr E R Widdows). Typical head and expression, clean eye and good size nose. Moderate neck. Decent topline but needs more breadth and depth of chest to complete the picture. Dense glossy coat and moved out with some style.

Class 13. Open Bitch

Entries: 8 Absentees: 1

1st Place 28 - Whitgun U'can't Touch This at Walwal JW (Mr M R & Mrs C R Sanderson). This kennel certainly had a field day today, this bitch has so much to commend her. Excellent condition (both coat and muscle tone), first class legs, bone and feet. Pleasing head with divergent planes, clean eyes and well set ears. Some breadth over the loin which is well muscled contributing to a typical topline. Very free moving with an easy extended trot with good drive from the rear. CC.

2nd Place 1 - Braccorions You Win Again at Brevathos (Ms Se Atherton). Has a definite air of quality, particularly good forehand with decent feet. Good depth and breadth of chest. Typical topline. Really impresses on the move with some drive. Just looking a little matronly in outline and this pegged her back a shade today.

3rd Place 30 - Teverlarni Secret Dreams (Miss S & Ms L Smith)
