Pontypool & Dist CS. 19/4/26.

Smooth Collies G 1/0. 1. Rodgers Blamorder High Brow With Jerdoni. A mature tricoloured bitch of decent type, beautiful feminine head and expression with dark eye and correctly set mobile ears. Good height to length with level topline. Moved soundly coming and going. O 2/0. 1. Martin CH. Sturtmoor Arceus’s Legacy JW. Mature sable male who is so very typical of the breed. Good reach of neck, well angulated fore and aft, correctly set and carried tail. Moved with drive and purpose. BOB 2. Rodgers Blamorder Mischief Maker With Jerdoni. A handsome sable dog with an appealing head, well balanced but I preferred the front construction of my winner. 

Bearded Collie G 1/0. 1. Steer-Eldrige Gwalltafwyn Gwenllian. 15 month old bitch who was very unsettled here today and gave her handler a hard time. Standing I liked her outline, I’d prefer slightly better front angulation, but her rear angulation is correct and she has good short hocks that she uses to drive around the ring. I'd be interested to see her as a mature bitch. She gave a better account of herself in the challenge to win BOB. O 1/0. 1. Steer-Eldridge IR.CH. Kakos The Happiest Days Of Gwalltafwyn. Well coated mature bitch and dam to my BOB. Feminine head, good length of neck, balanced angulation and level topline. Moved soundly, but preferred the reach and drive of her daughter on the day.

German Shepherd G 2/0. 1. Jones Chalksville’s Maverick 10 months old and all boy, I liked him a lot. Well made head with alert intelligent expression, dark eye and correctly set ears. Strong neck into well placed shoulders, he has good length of upper arm with correct return, firm topline that was held on the move, good depth of chest for a youngster and well developed rear quarters. Still a bit loose on the move , but he moves forward with drive and purpose. BOB & PG 3. 2. Morgan Lornstone Sijur, another good example of the breed. Masculine well balanced head, correct angulation fore and aft and good overline. He moved ok but wasn't suited to the small ring which cost him today. O 1/1.

Australian Shepherd O 1/0. 1. Burt Save The Tears For Another Day With Aussiame Imp ITA. A mature tricoloured boy that appealed greatly to me. Loved his overall proportions and balance, super bone and substance, well coated and and presented to perfection. He moves very well and although he stood alone, he was a worthy winner. BOB & G2.

Shetland Sheepdog G 2/0. 1. Rossiter Cocaro The Enchantress and indeed I was enchanted, a cracking puppy who showed her socks off. Prettiest of heads with a sweet expression, dark eye, balanced muzzle and top skull with correct stop. I found her to be well proportioned with good angulation front and rear, well coated and shown in tip top condition. BOB BP G4 PG1 2. Dowding Jalapic Pumpkin, a mature sable bitch with a feminine head and good outline. She moved well but was carrying a little too much weight for me. O 2/0. 1. Rossiter Cocaro The Highlander JW, a handsome sable and white boy who is sire to my BOB. This dog has a super outline, is masculine without a hint of coarseness and he moves well. Shown in beautiful coat and condition, I preferred his daughter's front construction. 2. Williams Gowdenin Duchess Surprise a 9 year old tricolour lady enjoying her day out. Typical Sheltie head with a sweet expression, she's a little forward in shoulder but has a nice turn of stifle, short strong hocks and neat correctly shaped feet. Moved soundly in all directions.

Watkins Welslav Draig Fach 10 month old bitch of good type and balance, feminine head with dark eye and correctly set on ears, nice reach of neck into well laid shoulders and solid topline, enough rear angulation and well let down hocks.

O’Keefe Farrah Fowler The Pearl Of Tabula Rasa Kennel, another very nice puppy who just lost out on maturity here today, but a super type who is sure to have a bright future. O 3/0 1. O’Keefe Casper Of Royal Ramonda Clairants, a quality male of good type, handsome masculine head of correct proportions with dark eye and well set sensitive ears. Strong neck, into well laid shoulders, level back and well developed rear quarters. A bit of a handful here today but moved well when settled. BOB 2.

Doberman J 3/0. 1. Webb Shalissa’s Vera Wang, super young bitch of good type, clean well balanced head with good fill under eye, flat top skull and smooth cheek topped off with neat well set ears. She has good neck length into well laid shoulders, level back and balanced rear quarters. A little untidy coming and going but smooth and tireless side gait. 2. Piper, Quigley & Day Shalissa’s Vivian Westwood At Swnydwr naf, half sister to my winner and very similar in type, I was really splitting hairs between these two, I just preferred the side action of my winner. 3. Bowdler Rosebebe Beam Me Up For Inverteign. L 3/1. 1. Webb Shalissa’s Into The Shallow attractive bitch with good head planes, dark eye with alert expression, clean through the neck and shoulder and good depth of chest. Firm topline that was held on the move and she was sound in all directions. 2. Billington Shalissa’s Louis Vuitton Avec Aquepins. I note he’s the same breeding as my class winner but from a later litter. Very similar in type and many of the same comments apply. He’s a nice boy to go over and has a lovely outline stacked, however he wasn't as confident on the move as my winner. O 3/0. 1. Webb & Mullins Protocol’s The Midas Touch JW imp USA. My star of the day who owned the ring the minute he entered it. Masculine head with good depth of muzzle, almond shaped eyes, tight lips and smooth through the cheeks, clean neck of good length with smooth transition into a strong level backline, good length of upper arm with correct return and balanced well developed rear quarters. Moved freely and powerfully with an excellent ground covering gait. I was delighted to award this dog BOB and the Working Group, and thrilled to learn he later went on to win BIS. 2. Caldicott Aritaur Cirilla With Philmont JW. Attractive bitch with correct head and alert expression, super outline with well developed chest and correct depth of brisket, moved soundly. 3.

Alaskan Malamute O 1/0. 1. Partridge-Bebb Kaskae Show Me The Monet Avec Keighanya. No mistaking this is a male, he has impressive bone and substance and it's easy to imagine him doing the job he was bred for. Strong masculine head without any trace of coarseness, almond shaped eyes and well set triangular ears that were sensitive in use. Balanced angulation fore and aft and very well muscled. Correct coat which was well presented. BOB & GRP3

Newfoundland O 1/0. 1. Plant Green Pearl Versailles imp FRA. 16 month old bitch who needs to mature. Nice balanced head with square muzzle, dark eye and small, correctly set ears.
