PD/B (4,3)

1. Walker’s Big McIntosh. 7 mth old sable dog and what a great prospect he is and with the very best of temperaments! I thought him so correct for type and he presented a super outline with neck of moderate length, firm topline, rib developing well for age and tail set on high and of good carriage. Well proportioned head with true expression of the breed; dark almond-shaped eyes, ears set on just right and scissor bite. Excellent forequarters both standing and on the move and goes so well on the go around too. Reserve BOB & Best Puppy.

PGD/B (4,3)

1. Walker’s King Sombra. 7 mth old cream sable dog who turned out to be the littermate of the previous class winner. There are lots of similarities but this boy is out of a slightly smaller mould and looks like he will take quite a bit longer to reach maturity. Not quite as well schooled as his brother but having an absolute whale of a time on his day out! Neck of medium length, firm topline, ribbed well back and high set tail of good carriage. Nicely proportioned head with correct eye and ear and good dentition. When settled, he moved out well in profile.

OD/B (7,5)

1. McCallum’s Ch Dianaia Fabulous Forever. 8 yr old black/white dog. This lad very much appealed and was good to go over and certainly is sturdy in build as desired. Lovely outline with neck of correct length to balance, level topline, well sprung ribs, firm loin and profusely feathered tail set on high and carried over the back. Masculine head with good skull to muzzle proportions, dark almond-shaped eyes of good size, ears set on just right and flat cheeks. Soundly constructed all through, gaiting freely on the down and back and with super profile action. BOB.

2. McCallum’s Dianaia Absolutly Fabulous. 10 yr old tricolour bitch. Even though this girl has been clipped off, it was a pleasure to be able go over her, such is her quality. Sturdy with neck of moderate length, excellent ribbing, firm loin and tail set on high and of correct carriage. Feminine headpiece of correct proportions, lovely eye and ear, flat cheeks and excellent pigmentation. Another who is well made, standing true in front with good forechest and moderately angulated in the rear. Free on the move with such good carriage.
