1 BSBIB and SBG3 COX’s Dancing In The Moonlight Of Black Hunar At Rainwilds. A confidently handled 17mth brindle strong and well made with a fairly compact outline, masculine head broad in skull with small dark eye and padded cheeks, thick slightly arched neck and well placed shoulders with width and depth to chest, muscular torso with a good spring of rib and firm topline, moves with good reach and drive but a fraction close behind on the away, lots to like here

PD (2) 2 very nice but raw brothers here and very similar in shape and style, I preferred the head proportions of the winner who is fractionally shorter muzzle and who currently has a better topline both stacked and on the move but I’ve no doubts they will challenge each other throughout their careers 1 and BPIB Myers Optimus Casey Jones 2 Bratchie and Baillie’s Optimus Quincy Jones At Skookumbull

JB (1) 1 and RBCC Warrens Crimlisk Spicy Shiraz Of Copperfield, I’ve not seen this 13 month girl since I judged her as a raw puppy but today I thought she looked beautiful and is maturing up so nicely, of medium size and still with room for growth but very well proportioned. She has a feminine square head with dark eye, good width of under jaw and well pigmented mask, slightly arched neck and muscular well laid shoulders, compact in body with a good spring of rib and firm level topline, broad thighs and strong hocks, produces a lively but sound action in profile striding out well across the ring, she makes such a nice silhouette on the stand both side on and from the front which kept drawing my eye and I was pleased to award her the RBCC today
