1. Yacoub’s Laithmoor's Felka. Liked the outline of this well proportioned 5 year old bitch. Pretty head with correct proportions, a kind eye and expression and correct ear set. Balanced angulation fore and aft with a good width of thigh. Straight forelegs and a well laid shoulder, just not the strength in neck of 1, and a level topline. She moved ok but not the ground covering movement of the BOB today.

1. Harris’s De Lombardie Spirit of Barleyarch (Imp Can). A medium sized powerful looking 9 1/2 month old dog, with a pleasing balanced outline. Masculine head of the correct proportions, with a gentle expression, eyes are darkening and good depth to flew. A well muscled neck with a slight arch, which flows into well laid back shoulders. Level topline and a short back with good ribbing and a deep chest. Slight slope to croup, good tail set and correct coat texture. Well muscled rear and good bend to stifle.

2. Yeates’s Egertonell Hebe. Litter sisters of just 6 months old were 2nd and 3rd in this class and both have similar attributes. Head needs to develop, but that will come, but has good proportions and correct ear and set, with a kind expression and eyes darkening already. Good neck with a slight arch into well laid shoulders, as you would expect just needs to deepen in chest. Correct feet and straight forelegs. Short back with good ribbing, and a level topline, with balanced angulation fore and aft. Just preferred the movement of 2 over 3 today, sure they will swap places another time.

1. Foster & Blomfield’s Affilato Play Cupid at Woodlandblue (Italian Spinone). A 17 month old o/w bitch. Loved her correctly proportioned head and divergent planes. She has a kind eye, big spongy nose and long correctly set ears. Short neck with crest, that leads to a lovely front assembly with a good layback of shoulder and length to her upper arm. She just needs to mature now, at the moment she is bit narrow in front and longer in body. Correct break in topline and good coarse coat. Moved ok but she didn’t really get going today, would suit a bigger ring so she could really drive from behind. BAVNSC.
