1ST 589 - Sitana Johnny Blaze at Karianca (Mrs C & Mr C J Bovey) (Afghan)

Loved this boy, very much “my cup of tea”. Masculine head with good strength to his underjaw and chiselling evident. Long neck that sits into a well laid shoulder with matching return, he had a deep chest with moderate spring and a strong loin. Well-muscled long, strong thighs with good width and standing on low hocks with large feet. Excels on move, he has an easy long, light and effortless gait showing spring and with good carriage and parallel down and back, will follow with interest.

2ND 686 - Saintharp Can’t Stop Me Now (Ms K Little) (Whippet)

 Pleasing head with good strength of underjaw and correct proportions, giving a typical expression. Balanced angulation front and rear, with well-laid shoulders and a corresponding rear, I would not wish her any taller. Excellent depth of chest with good spring of rib, carried well back, and a firm topline. Moved soundly in profile.

2ND 677 - Galemira’s Pandora of Duranridge (Mrs L Durante) (Whippet)

A curvy, feminine bitch with a very pretty head and good eye, giving a typical, pleasing expression. Lovely length of neck flowing into well-laid shoulders, contributing to an elegant outline. Would prefer a little more depth of chest and forechest development to complete the front. Balanced in angulation fore and aft. On the move, holds her shape well, showing good reach in front and drive from the rear.
