1st Diheath Nutcracker (Miss D & Miss J Melbourne & Murray)

Smart young man, just six months old and progressing in the right direction. His head is developing nicely, good dome to skull, prominent occiput, dark eye, ears are well set and of good length. Neck strong into well laid shoulders, stands on good legs and feet, prominent breastbone. Well made in body, long and has depth, well developed quarters with well bent stifles. Was very puppyish on the move, once he settled, I could see enough. My Best Puppy.

1st Diheath Marta (Miss, Miss & Mr Melbourne, Murray & Fitzpatrick-Odahamier)

Pretty lady who I liked a lot, for me she is well made with good overall proportions. Her head is feminine, eyes dark, ears well set and of good length. Good through the neck into well set shoulders, good breastbone. Well made in body, ribs well back and firm in loin. Quarters are well developed with stifles well bent, just carrying a shade too much weight. Close up for Reserve Best of Breed but didn’t quite have the action or drive of the second in open today.

2nd Diheath Cracker JW (Miss D & Miss J Melbourne & Murray)

Well-presented 18 month old chap, good head piece, masculine in expression, lovely dark eye and well set on ears of good length, good depth of muzzle. Neck well arched in to well laid shoulders. Not quite as good in front at the winner, decent depth of chest, well made in body good through the ribs, slightly longer in loin. Well made quarters with well bent stifles. Moved with purpose, not as tidy on the up and down as the winner today.

1st Ch Reveros Power of Love JW (Mrs R & Mr L Sutton)

Smart two year old red and white dog. Presents a super picture on the stack, well balanced outline with good angulation. Head is well made with good overall proportions. I like his front assembly, shoulders well laid back and a decent return of upper arm. Good muscular neck. Legs well boned and good feet. Well made in body, prominent chest, ribs well sprung and good through the loin, held his topline well. Well-made quarters, stifles well bent and hocks well let down. He comes alive on the move, covering the ground with ease in an effortless action. Delighted to Award him Best of Breed and later delighted to see he was awarded Reserve Best in Show – congratulations and thank you for bringing him.

2nd Diheath Chekov JW (Miss D & Miss J Melbourne & Murray)

Well made boy, masculine in head and expression, enhanced by a dark eye, ears set on well. Moderate neck in to well set shoulders and enough return of upper arm. Prominent chest, well boned legs and well padded feet. Good outline, body well made with length and depth, ribs well back and holds his level topline well. Well made quarters with a good bend of stifle. Moved well but not as fluid as the winner today. My Reserve Best of Breed

1st Stubbylee Boom Like That JW (Mr A, Mr N & Mrs E Dawson)

I thought this young fawn white sable was very smart, just 12 months but progressing in all the right directions. Super head piece, enhanced by a dark eye, good small well placed ears. I like his front assembly, good neck in to sloping shoulders, good depth of chest and elbows well placed. Super shape on the stack, graceful curve, good arch to loin. So very sound on the move and just a little more fluid that the open winner. So today he was my Best of Breed.

1st Ch Stubbylee Chiara Mia (Mr A, Mr N & Mrs E Dawson)

Another super exhibit and stood she looked an absolute picture on the stack but was rather lazy on the move today. She is six years old, with a lovely feminine head and expression, clean neck into a well assembled front, stands on good straight legs, balanced angulation front and rear and a correct topline. Has good action on the move just not quite the verve of her kennel mate today, so had to be content with Reserve Best of Breed. Thank you for bringing her.
