1st Deucher's Ch Rikarlo Gable JW L6EX The first time this dog came under me he was a Puppy and to be honest my preconceived idea was that I might be awarding this young dog Best of breed but on the day he had arrived disproportionate and unbalanced,  he had obviously had a growth spurt but not in all areas. Today i saw him at the other end of his show career which has been as I expected " spectacular " an honest dog even today at 7 years of age, unfortunately today he has become weak on the rear which effected his movement, his toe nails need a trim as it has made his feet long and doesn't help his posture, I really wish I had judged him when he was in his prime; beautifully handled and my absolute pleasure to award him best veteran in breed. 

2nd Cobb, Cobb and Kent's Ch Koromandel best served cold at Knytshall, 9 years old, super head and expression,  beautiful temperament,  great coat, weak topline, crabbing on the move, another dog I remember as a puppy and thought highly of, again my absolute pleasure to go over.

1st Dosson's Kimura's Ola Normann (imp Nor) 13 month old Wheaton dog, quality throughout and in all honesty this dog was my preconceived best of breed winner having seen him at LKA he was perfection personified! Unfortunately today he was unbalanced and disproportionate,  his head and expression is so handsome,  the best feet, the perfect amount of bone, he is built to work, he has a wonderful Buzz about him and one day he will command the ring, I would love the chance to judge him again once he has finished growing,  a future super star.

2nd Cobb, Cobb and Kent's Knytshall Beau Bramble 2 year old black dog, very nice head, balanced,  needs to mature, would have liked a darker eye, crabbed on the move.

1st Denham-Horton and Horton's Tupui Haraldsson at Jjavacobe, this is a buhund! Great head superb shae correct muzzle,  correct bite, just the right amount of stop, great wedge, ears, eyes correct giving and awesome  and intelligent expression,  super length of neck leading to wonderful lay of shoulder, front legs straight,  strong and true with good bone, tight elbows, well manicured nails, tight toes on perfect Hardy feet, great depth of chest with well sprung rib; short, sharp and square  outline, front and rear angulation is spot on with no exaggeration, correct tail set and beautiful tight curl over the back, moved with purpose and drive, such a happy fellow, reminded very much of my own and  of the golden era of buhunds,  proud to award him DCC and Best of breed, the breeder should take a bow, awesome job!

2nd Cobb,Cobb and Kent's Knytshall Ragged Robin, nice head and expression although I would have liked a darker eye, square in profile,  needs to mature, seemed a little weak on the rear but to be honest I think this lad is just a late developer,  time and exercise will pull him together. 

3rd Dosson's Leggets part time lover, really handsome looking dog, great head and expression,  a little long in the body and a weak tail set didn't help, beautiful level topline with well sprung rib, nice closed elbows shown in great condition.

2nd Corin and Camm's Mazads Nom De plume, I'm surprised he isn't titled, good head and expression,  nice length of neck leading to a  level topline,  lovely square outline, tail set could be better, pastern not as strong as 1, moved exceptionally well.

Puppy bitch entries (2) Abs (0) 1st Denham-Horton's Riverhund Kyon where shall I wander to Jjavacobe (imp Can) Stunning, I'm not going to write a book on this bitch as I could go on and on, this bitch is the breed standard in the flesh, she needs to mature and muscle up; this bitch looks like family and I can't give a greater compliment than that. This class was extreme excellence, I was shocked and amazed to be awarding a CC to a puppy but first and second in this class are exactly where this breed needs to be going the future looks bright.
