Veteran Dog (3,2)

1st: Belatarr Jupiter

At nine years old. This is a dog that is denying his age, being very fit indeed. He is larger and stronger than what I prefer, decidedly masculine. Quality head with length of muzzle, wells set and carried ears. Strong neck, well set. Excellent front angulation and very sound front legs. Deep and capacious in his chest. Firm topline. Well set and carried tail. Balanced angulation behind. He could do with less weight adding to his look of being a bit much of everything. Excellent coat quality. He moved perfectly from the front and very well indeed from the side, acceptable from behind. Best Veteran.

Puppy Dog (1)

1st: Leiborschy Tan

At seven months old, this is a very promising puppy. He has a very typical head, well carried ears. Lovely expression. Excellent temperament. Lovely neck into shoulder, very good forechest. Deep and capacious body. Firm topline, well set tail. Excellent coat quality. Still rather puppyish in movement from the side, tending to be a bit high behind. Sound coming and going. Best Puppy.

Limit Dog (2)

1st: Enryb Pink Panther

At four years old, this is a strong, masculine dog, well balanced and proportioned. Masculine head, I would not want any more stop. Well set ears. Strong neck with a nape, well set into shoulders. Pleasing forechest and layback of upper arm. Strong and firm topline, well set tail. Well angulated behind. In quite a good coat, better on closer inspection than from a distance. Moved well from the side and in front, not good from behind.

2nd: Zoldmali Daru At Genlusa

Another well grown dog. He has a long head, rather strong in skull, good ears. Long neck, could be smoother set. Pleasing return of upper arm and forechest. Firm topline. He needs more weight and looks rather gangly due to this. Very moderately angulated behind. In plenty of coat. He moved very well from the side, but again looking gangly. Soundly in front, could do with more soundness from behind.  

Open Dog (5,1)

1st: Eng Sh Ch Zoldmali Ezmi

Classical dog of excellent type and quality. He combined masculine substance with quality. Attractive head with lovely expression, looking intelligent. Well set, shaped and carried ears. Neck with strength and good length. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline, well set tail. In quite a good coat, but I would not want it any shorter. An excellent mover from the side and in front, quite good from behind. A little proud of his tail, but not overly so. CC

2nd: Sh Ch Belatarr Kodiak

A strong dog, scoring in substance and masculinity. He has a strong head that fits his body. Strong neck. Moderate, balance angulation. Neck could be longer. Firm topline, deep and capacious body. Well set tail. In a very good coat. Sound mover from all angles. A useful dog giving a functional impression, if not quite the quality of the winner. ResCC

3rd: Sh Ch Ewtor Blue Moon

Puppy Bitch (3)

1st: Leiborschy Theta

A well made bitch, well constructed and typey. Attractive head and expression. Very good ears. Neck well set into shoulder. Excellent forechest and return of upper arm. Firm topline, well proportioned. Pleasing tailset. Balanced angulation behind. Excellent coat quality. She carried more puppy weight than strictly needed, but this did not stop her from moving well from all angles. 

2nd: Zoldmali-hunter Flora Genlusa

At six months old, this bitch is scoring in feminine overall appearance and elegance. Attractive head, I would not want a longer muzzle. Could do with darker eyes. Long neck. Pleasing length of leg. Still rather gangly in her outline. She moved quite well however from all angles. 

3rd: Zoltarous Calaeno For Canalgame

Junior Bitch (1)

1st: Zoldmali Hunter Cirok At Canalgame

At this age a rather rangy, feminine bitch. Well up on legs. Could with some more length of head. Well set ears. Medium neck. Moderate angulation in front, more behind. She has a firm topline, still needs to body up a bit. Well set and carried tail. In quite a good coat. She moved light on her feet and with plenty of animation and humour. Quite good going away and reasonable in front. 

Post Graduate Bitch (1,1)

Limit Bitch (4,1)

1st: Kisdon Insignia

A big, strong bitch, just feminine enough, but quite strapping in many ways. Excellent body proportions and overall well constructed. Very typical head with excellent proportions, beautiful expression. Pleasing earset. Strong neck with an attractive nape. Very good forechest. Deep and capacious body, well proportioned. Her tail is a bit low set. Well angulated behind. Excellent coat quality. A very good mover from all angles, capitalizing on her construction. The star of the day. CC & BOB.

2nd: Kensesqui Japan

Feminine bitch, pleasing size, somewhat short coupled looking on the stack, she looked much better moving than standing. Another with a typical head and expression. Moderate neck. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline, good tailset. Excellent coat. She moved very well form the side, quite sound coming and going as well, if rather proud of her tail. 

3rd: Vernum Ventulus Hanga At Genlusa (Imp)

Open Bitch (5,1)

1st: Sh Ch Enryb Tickled Pink JW

Attractive, typey bitch bitch. I loved her textbook head and expression which are first rate. Excellent earset and carriage. Very good front angulation and forechest. I would have preferred slightly more length of leg. Firm topline, especially on the move. Well angulated behind. Excellent coat structure. She moved well from the side and from behind, elbows could be closer to body as seen from the front. This however does not take away from her beautiful type. ResCC.

2nd: Sh Ch Enryb Skye Blue

A big bitch, very well constructed, but there is a bit too much for a bitch. Strong head. Long and crested neck. Well angulated both ends. Deep and capacious body. Very good coat quality. An excellent mover from the side and in front, not as brilliant as seen from behind. She has the look of an excellent brood bitch, but is a little too much of everything herself.
