1ST Revenite Sergeant Wilson for Rangali (Miss M & Mrs H Allenby)

Very smart 14 months old, masculine dog. He is well up on legs and a well proportioned young dog. Looking his age in his body. Attractive head, excellent skull and ear-set, in all giving him a lovely expression. Moderately angulated in front. Firm topline. Excellent tailset and tail carriage. Very good coat quality, well trimmed and presented. A very smart and collected, well co-ordinated mover, sound from behind and from the side. ResCC

 Post Graduate Dog (1)

1ST Mochras Mahlbec (Mrs M Godwin)

A two year old dog with a fabulously friendly temperament. He is up on legs and with a correct not long body. Pleasing head with a lovely expression. Ears somewhat flat. Pleasing rise of neck. Moderate, balanced angulation. OK topline standing, but his tail could be higher set. Excellent coat quality and colour, well trimmed. He moved parallel coming and going, but with some tendency to tuck himself up from the side.

Puppy Bitch (4,2)

1ST Beabass Berdina (Miss A C & Mr P G Revens & Hyde)

At six months old, this is a well balanced bitch for her age, even if she needs to grow up a little more on her legs with maturity. Attractive head, very feminine and with excellent ears. Long neck with attractive nape. Very pleasing forechest for her age. Firm topline. Well set and carried tail. Very good coat quality if rather short-coated on the day. Best Puppy

2ND Rangali Cookies and Kreme (Miss M & Mrs H Allenby)

A bitch of pleasing type and quality, but at a stage where she is higher behind than in the front. Attractive head, but a little worried in her expression. Long neck, but could be smoother set. Well set tail. Neds to drop down into her angulation behind. Excellent coat quality. A positive mover from the side and from behind.

2ND Mochras Mahqueen (Miss K Horn)

Another feminine bitch, very well proportioned. Attractive, well shaped head. Excellent expression, well set ears. Not the front of the winner and could more weight on her front legs when standing. Strong topline. Well set tail. Excellent coat quality. Moved quite soundly, but could do with some more pride on the move. 

3RD Blevwil Kerry Oki (Mrs L A & Miss K Blevins)

Post Graduate Bitch (2,1)

1ST Revenite Mrs Fox (Mr M & Mr J Stevenson-Bramley)

Quite an attractive bitch, if not outstanding for overall quality. She is well up on legs, if a little generous in her body length. Attractive head and well set ears. Long neck. Firm topline. Balanced angulation both ends. Excellent coat quality. Moved with pleasing co-ordination and sound enough coming and going.

A very attractive bitch with very pleasing proportions. Strong, still feminine. Attractive head with a moderately domed skull and excellent ears. Strong neck. Moderate and balanced angulation in both ends. Deep and capacious chest without losing length of leg. Firm topline with a strong loin. Well set and carried tail. Very good coat quality, if not the finesse of the second in the class. A sound and dynamic mover, looking even better on the move than standing. Congratulations on winning her title with today’s CC & BOB

Another very attractive bitch, if longer and larger than the winner. Excellent overall quality and type. Typical head with very good ears. Excellent neck-set. Strong and firm in topline.
