PD (1,0) 1 Hartley & Fahey's Zoomeera Stormbreaker, Just under 11 months, this well-proportioned black tri male moved well, maintaining a level topline throughout. Balanced in overall make-up, he presented a pleasing head with a good stop and large eye, contributing to the correct Chihuahua expression and completing a balanced picture. – BPD

JD (1,0) 1 Huntley's Am CH Knockout Chuck A Duck for Jahneemahs (Imp USA) Just turning 12 months, this compact male displayed a great ear set, correct bite and good straight front. He maintained a level topline and moved well around the ring, completing the picture with a lovely tail carried correctly.– RBD

ND (0,0

GD (1,0) 1 Heap & Palmer's Rudy Ruby Just over 2 years, this compact red male had much to like and presented well in profile. He had a good length of neck, great tailset and beautifully flared ears. His eye was slightly smaller, but remained in proportion with his overall sound and balanced appearance.

PGD (0,0)

LD (3,1) 1 Huntley's Jahneemahs Looney Tune 15-month-old cream male, full of energy, alert and attentive, always engaging with his handler and never ceasing to show. Sturdy and compact, he moved well and confidently, with a well-proportioned head, correct muzzle length, pleasing bite and gorgeous eye. A quality exhibit, worthy of BD, BOB and BIS. – BD, BOB, BIS

2 Hartley & Fahey's Zoomeera Home And Dry JW Just over 2 years, this red male was unlucky to meet the winner here. He moved well with purpose, maintaining a level topline, while his tail never stopped wagging. His muzzle was slightly shorter, though he had a correct bite and beautiful eye.

OD (1,0) 1 Alexander's Alderxena Pocket Rocket JW This compact, well-put-together red sable male had a good mouth, pleasing stop, correctly proportioned head and large flaring ears, which he used well at times. Although moving correctly, he was reluctant to move as freely as the others on the day. Class 32: BABY PUPPY BITCH (1,0)

BPB (1,0) 1 Price's Monicachi Destiny's Call At 5 months and 8 days, this very sweet, happy red bitch still has much to experience, yet loved her time in the ring despite standing alone. Outgoing and confident for one so young, with a straight front, very pretty head, pleasing eye, balanced proportions and great earset. – BBPB, BBP

VB (3,1) 1 Huntley's CH Jahneemahs Along Came Polly JW, At 10½ years, this bitch still had so much to give and was a pleasure to assess. Beautifully proportioned, with a cracking eye, she retained her movement and carried her lovely furry, flatter tail well. Her quality still shone through, earning BB, BVB, RBOB, BVIB and RBVIS.

2 Fairbairn's CH Tidos Ghost Protocol At over 11 years, this cream bitch has certainly seen her fair share of the show ring. Handled well by her young handler, she showed good proportions, pleasing eyes set in a correct apple-domed head and great flaring ears. It was easy to see why she earned her title. 

MPB (1,0) 1 Fairbairn's Tidos Huntrix – At 7 months, this black tri bitch is still new to the show ring. Slightly larger and well bodied, with a good length of neck leading to a correctly proportioned apple-domed head, great earset and stop. She moved well, maintaining a level topline, but was reluctant to use her tail. RBB, BPB, BPIB

PB (1,0) 1 Hartley & Fahey's Zoomeera Stormcloud – Still a youngster at 11 months, this black tri bitch was a little shy in the ring, although her tail never stopped wagging. She was of the correct size and proportions, with particular merit in her correct muzzle length and bite, presenting a balanced overall picture.RBPB

Reserve Best in Show: Rushton, Chang & Robson’s, Yensha’s Supersonic with Tidos, Two-year-old fawn long coat male with a lovely apple-domed head, correct muzzle length, good dentition and large eyes. Well bodied beneath a full coat with correct furnishings, he was well proportioned, with a correctly set tail carried well throughout. The Smooth Coat BOB was stronger today, but he was a worthy RBIS.

Best Puppy in Show: Hornby’s Bramerita Priceless, , a little firecracker of a bitch, complete show girl, attentive always and demanding attention from anyone who looks at her. It is hard to take your eyes off her. Fawn sable bitch, moved with purpose around the ring, small, compact but everything in the right place, with a great topline and tailset. Sets herself up well on the stand showing of her great qualities.

Reserve Best Puppy in Show: CZYZ’s Flaming Lamborghini Right Royal (Imp CZE), Nearly 9 months, this black tri long coat bitch was fine and dainty, with much to like. She had a beautiful head, good earset and correct muzzle length. Well proportioned, she stood to perfection, maintained a level topline and carried her correctly set tail well throughout.

Best Veteran in Show: Huntley’s CH Natimuk Beaumont, Just turning 7, this well-known dog was one I had admired from ringside but never previously judged. Once on the table, his quality was clear, reminding me of one of my own champions. He still has it, and I would gladly have him at home. A worthy BVIS.
