Dogs

Minor Puppy

1: HAZELHURST, Mrs J Alamiks Hitchin A Ride To Corrolls, 7 months and full of promise, presented to perfection. Delightful in head, he has a very typical outline and strong topline. On the move he has carriage and impresses in side gait. Champion in the making

2: jCLEAVER, Mrs S Marbledale Original, just 6-month b/w and although raw has it all there. He has great carriage and really used himself well on the move. Presented extremely well.

3: COLLEY, Ms G Culversapso Captain Jack

Puppy

1: HASTINGS, Ms J Sifrason Powers That Be With Donloemar, 9 months good for size and in good coat. He is balanced on the table and has the correct tail set and carriage. Moved out on the right track.

2: HARRIS, Mrs V J Vonstry Dream Weaver, 11-month-old and his mind was sadly elsewhere today. Good for size and pleasing in head. Carries his tail a little high and was determined to lower his head on the move. He will have better days.

Junior

1; HOLLAND, Miss G Deelayne Spellbinder, very impressive young man who presents a very typical outline and is super to go over on the table. His coat texture is wonderful, and he is presented to perfection. Real eyecatcher and a future title holder. Delighted to hear he was the son of my DCC. RCC

2: SCHOLES, Mrs Fiona & SCHOLES, Mr R M Luekiki The Dream Returns To Rossgilde, close up but slightly differing in type, this boy has a lot to like about him, and he is super on the move. His head and expression are a delight, and he too is in wonderful condition and presented beautifully. Just not quite the finish of the winner today but he has a future.

3: DOWNES, Dr Sarah Alamiks No Strange Delight For Tsuki

Post Grad

1: THORNHILL, Mr P A Swandown Snowstorm, fully mature and in full coat he is all male and has a typical outline. Good for neck into topline. On the move he puts his feet in the right place but could just us his tail a tad more.

Limit:

1: PEARCE, Mr G & FRANCIS, Mr D Longsdale's When I Need You, smart young dog of quality and excellent to go over on the table. He impresses in front and has a strong topline and tailset. On the move he can only but impress.

2; RITCHIE, Mrs G Cheolview Wallace, liked this boy and he takes the eye in profile action. Decent head and expression, good online and balanced in outline.

3: SCARLL & SYKES, Mrs & Ms Joan And Susan Timazinti's Oliver

Open

1: CROOK, Mrs S & KINDNESS, Miss Kelly Ch Kelankin Ghost Ryder With Charjilliam Shcex, A really super dog of true quality, very male throughout, with the most delightful outline and instantly eye catching on the move. He is presented in wonderful coat and condition and was handled and put down to perfection. On the table he impressed greatly, being totally balanced and free from exaggeration in any way. A dog of real presence and breed type, he could not be denied today. I was very impressed by him. DCC.

2: HALL, Miss M D & BELL, Mrs H M & ELLIS, Mrs S M Shenedene The Gambler With Vallena, another very smart young dog and he is good to go over, just not quite the front of the winner today.

3: HAZELHURST, Mrs J Ch Corrolls Easy Rider JW

Post Graduate

1: SHOEMARK, Mr D & SHOEMARK, Mrs L Filenjar Wicked Dreams With Luekiki

2: RITCHIE, Mrs G Cheolview Arabella, b/w of type and quality, liked her size and shape and she has a decent coat. Pleasing outline but would have just preferred a tad more width in front coming towards me.

3: CHESTERFIELD, Mrs L & Mr C Ithera Dulce De Leche Into Burnsett

Limit

1: HALL, Miss M D & WILTSHIRE, Miss Laura Shenedene Two Faced With Thwaitlake JW, a really super bitch who scores particularly in front assembly and chest. She has a very pretty head and expression, balanced in outline and moves out with a real jaunty action. Well presented

2: CROOK, Mrs S & HALL, Miss M Shenedene Blondi With Charjilliam, close up today and I can see them changing places on more than one occasion. Liked this bitch for type and shape, just preferred the front of the winner.

3: SCARLL & SYKES, Mrs & Ms Joan And Susan Chic Choix Tiny Jewels Midnight Sun With Timazinti

Open

1: HALL, Miss M D Ch Shenedene Copy And Paste Jw, A real joy, this bitch is absolutely bang on form and difficult to fault. Quintessentially Apso in outline, she excels in type and breed character, with a wonderful head and expression. Balanced all through, she presents a pleasing picture both standing and on the move. Her coat quality and presentation are first class and deserve special commendation. In movement she carries herself with confidence, holds her shape beautifully, and places her feet accurately. On this form she is extremely hard to beat. BCC and BOB.

2: BARNETT & CARTER, Mr S & A Ch Alamiks Perfect Illusion, A real joy to assess, this bitch shows true Lhasa Apso type, with correct outline, balance, and a lovely head and expression. Excellent body for size and beautifully presented coat. On the move she holds her shape well and places her feet accurately. Today, however, she was beaten by one showing just a little more presence and animation in the ring.

3: SAUNDERS, Mrs S Ch Neokarma Muskang Sally
