1st: 5966 LASHLY, Mrs Sophie & LASHLY, Mr Craig Tollisty Thrymheim

Lovely youngster who is just 8 months old, he has good overall proportions body to leg. I liked his headpiece, good wedge shape, moderate stop and nicely rounded skull. Ears set on well and good almond shaped eyes. Moderate neck in to well set shoulders, good straight legs on him, super round feet. Body well made, good depth for his age, needs to strengthen in rear. When he settled I could see good accurate movement.

Another 8 month old youngster, pleasing type. His head is typical and a good overall shape. His shoulders are well laid back, he has depth to his chest, a good spring of rib and firm loin. Quarters well developed with stifles well bent. Moved well in profile but was a bit untidy fore and aft. Carrying a heavy coat which spoilt his outline a little.

1st: 5965 JONES, Miss Robyn Leigh Coedhelyg As Good As It Gets

Lots to like about this young man, very much at the growing stage at the moment and has clearly shot up on leg, but everything is in the right place. Head good, wedge shaped, eyes almond and ears set on correctly. Moderate in neck, well-laid shoulders and decent return of upper arm. Body well made of good proportions, needs to fill his frame, quarters are developing nicely. Moved out well with enthusiasm. Best Puppy Dog.

2nd: 5920 BAKER, Mr Charles Breakerswell Baker's Boy

Unplaced in special beginners, this young man had settled in this class and found out how his feet worked, much better on the move here. He and his handler are still learning their jobs in the show ring but doing a grand job. All the basics are in the right place, pleasing head and expression, neck clean and a good lay back to his shoulders. Needs a bit more body and to fill his frame and some practice on the move to get the finesse needed in the ring.

What a fabulous class this was, some really super dogs to go over, I was really spoilt for choice. These were my placings on the day, but I can see these boys changing places many times in the future. Thank you for bringing all of them.

1st: 5988 SALMON, Miss Jennifer Acadiabyrne Tibetan Coral Of Quackanova

Upstanding chap, he has good overall type. Good front assembly, shoulders well laid back and a decent return of upper arm, would like him a little firmer in topline. Good body proportions, ribs well sprung and firm in loin. Quarters well made with well bent stifles. Carries a really good coat, great texture to it. Moved out well with a good action. Preferred his head piece to that of the second placed dog.

Good movement in profile, not quite the rear action of the winner but has good jaunty action on the move, with plenty of drive. He has a super double coat.
