Veteran Dog. (3)1. Samual’s Ch Oberitz Upponalle, excellent type with good masculine head, correct stop, nice expression with eye colour blending with his brown coat. Good angulation and moved well. 2. Thomas’s  Elbereth Tuulenpoika, nicely made with a good balanced outline in excellent condition for his 11 years. Lovely head with required kind expression.

PG  Dog (1) 1. Alison’s Lahetyaby Joulukoriste by Oberitz, Tri, in hard condition. Nice head with good stop and well placed ears. Front good with depth to ribs, and well angulated at rear, giving excellent movement. 

Limit Dog.(2) 1. Lloyd’s Arianrhod Havukruunu. Tri,  Good outline, maturing well. Head is good with well pronounced stop, dark eye and well set ears giving the required expression. Good depth to ribs, front and shoulders correct, well angulated. Moved and handled well. RDCC.  2. Jarvis’s Elbereth Nuka. Unfortunately not co-operating with his owner today, I know he can do better. Nice head, well muscled body and good bone, but it was difficult to assess the finer points of construction as he would not stand still. 

Open Dog (3) 1. Ch. Lappviken Keltainen of Manu. Tri, overall a very pleasing outline and when you delve deeper, not disappointed. Broad masculine head, correct size and shape ears, with a dark eye. Good for chest and shoulder placement, correct tail carriage and well muscled hind quarters. Moved with drive. Dog CC.  (2) Short’s Ch. Arianrhod Aavevalo to Glenchess. Tri, lovely outline and well boned. Good masculine head with the required kind expression. Nice dark eye, well placed ears of correct size and shape. Strong in body, good top line and good hind musculation. Moved well, but not co-operating on presentation. 

GCDog. (1)  1. Samual’s Ch. Oberitz Buoremus. Tri, well presented and pleasing outline. Well balanced head, with correct ears and good stop. Good depth of chest and correct front , moved well if a tad noisy! 

Veteran Bitch (2) 1. Bell’s Alforus Midnight Dream. Black, 11 years old and so well made with a well proportioned feminine head, lovely dark eyes, ears of correct size and shape, and good stop. Good front, well laid shoulders, and nice tight feet. Rear angulation good, which gives her the lovely flowing, driving, correct movement. (2) Stanley’s Ansalfrose Jojanna, R/W, 9 years, finer in bone but a balanced outline. Pretty head, with dark eyes. Unfortunately she was slightly lame today, so not moving as fluently as I know she can. 

Puppy (2) 1. Critchlow’s Pavoskas Jaa Juhia. A raw baby, who needs time. However she has good bone, nice dark eyes, and the basis for a good head-given that time. Coat has yet to establish properly. Overall looks to be a good prospect for the future. Well trained for a youngster. 2 Critchlow and Duffield Pavoskas Jaatelo, litter sister to 1 and equally as immature. Not so well trained so harder to go over, and unsteady on the move. Overall a nice puppy in outline but needs time. 

PG Bitch.(1) 1. Isherwood’s Starlapps Javri, Tri, a really well proportioned balanced bitch, in good hard condition. A lovely feminine head with well set correct shaped ears, good stop and nice dark oval eye. Good front and length of back. Well angulated rear and moves with drive. Well handled, RBCC. 

Open Bitch (2) 1. Jackson’s Ch/Bel/Lux Ch. Elbereth Unisieppari, Tri, strongly built, well proportioned bitch in good coat. Head balanced with good ears and dark eye, well pronounced stop. Front correct with well angulated rear quarters. Moved well with drive. Bitch CC. 2. Alison’s Ch Oberitz Tumma Ruhtinatar, another well constructed bitch with pleasing head, eyes and ears conforming to the standard. Good forchest and spring of rib, but lacklustre in movement today.
