Veteran Dog 1,0

1st 4473 – Avent’s Rosparquier Jack Wills at Sueno

7 ½yrs. Masculine, handsome and well-made dog. He has a good head, square in appearance, with dark, large and well-set eyes. Ears well set, Strong front with well laid shoulders, strong pasterns, Well-sprung rib, but his loin is a little long and tended to arch.

Minor Puppy Dog 2,0

1st 4481 – Grange’s Bosties Urban Outlaw

8mths. Very attractive, balanced and well put together young male. His head is developing nicely, with lovely expressive, large dark eyes. A good reach of neck leading to a good lay of shoulder. Good pasterns and feet. He’s a little long in body but has a well sprung rib and good rear angulation. His movement was clean and sound.

2nd 4474 – Avent’s Rosparquier Now or Never for Sueno

6mths. Larger type and already showing masculine and typical qualities. He’s square and well balanced throughout. His head is square with clearly defined stop and no exaggeration. On the move he lacked the ease of 1, but I expect this will come with age and less sweltering conditions.

Puppy Dog 2,1

1st 4503 – Snell’s Whiskyagogo's Victory Lap at Sonduriya

7mths. Nicely balanced, masculine. A very nice, quality head, square, flat on top and sufficient length of muzzle. Dark and large eyes, good reach of neck. He’s a little long in body but has a good spring of rib. Moved well in the conditions of the day.

Junior Dog 1,0

1st 4496 – Rodaway’s Demorace Atmospheric

17mths. Very nicely balanced. Masculine, with good body proportions. Liked his head shape, square and flat on top with well set ears. Eyes large and expressive but could be a darker. Well laid shoulder, and a good strong front with strong pasterns. Well sprung rib and a level topline, although I’d prefer the ribs to reach back a little further. Correctly set tail. Good hindquarters. Moved soundly, with sure-footed action, clean coming and going. RDCC

Yearling Dog 1,0

1st 4508 – Williams’ Amesboston Not The Messiah

Larger type, with a nice typical head and good length of muzzle. Large, dark, expressive eyes and well-set ears. Good reach of neck, and well laid shoulders. Deep and well filled chest. He’s too long in body, and tends to arch a little over the loin, tailset is good, but carriage could by tidier. He moved soundly.

Post Graduate Dog 3,1

1st 4476 – Bundy’s Dalenamag King of Clubs

21mths. I liked his head, good square in appearance and flattish between the ears. Dark eyes. He has good bone and decent feet. I’d prefer a bit more spring to his rib, but his chest is deep and elbows tight. His outline is square, level topline, rounding over the croup and he has a well-set tail. On the move he was clean in front, but a little untidy in rear.

2nd 4507 – Crook’s Sonduriya Running On Empty

3 ½yrs. Another appealing head, with dark and expressive eyes. Good reach of neck. Well sprung chest with good depth but would prefer a bit more length of rib; the topline tended to curve a little over the loin. Nice movement in profile.

Open Dog 6,3

At almost 6yrs, this is such a strong and masculine dog. Sound and well balanced throughout. A strong, masculine head, with good large and dark eyes. Flat skull. Nicely set and carried ears, good reach of neck with slight arch. Well sprung rib, with good reach back of rib, I’d prefer his loin a tad shorter for a perfect overall set of proportions. He is so exceptionally sound on the move, covering the ground with ease and precision. Strong front, good pasterns. Couldn’t deny him the DCC

2nd 4491 - Quick & Quick & Carta’s Multi Ch Primo Cavaliere Goffredo at Havance (Imp Ita) Multi Jch
