Special Beginners (3,1a)

1st Bailey & Hancocks -Rattustrap Crimes at Night JW. 22-month-old male well balanced in outline, masculine, head which is wedge shaped, with lovely almond shaped dark eye. His has a good length to his neck and a clean outline. Angulations are acceptable fore and aft, a shade more lay to shoulder would be to his advantage. He has substance and is well muscled. On the move he tends to crab but when he is focused and moved at a slightly better pace his soundness is evident. Inclined to carry his tail a shade higher than desired. His markings are clear and he is presented well.

2nd Whitewell's  Cacwn Starling - 7-month-old, feminine with a wedge-shaped head, with a lovely dark eye. She has well placed ears, but they do need to settle.

1st Spain's Starryedge Titan Buck. This 8 month old youngster has a wedged shaped head with a dark eye, would prefer a shade more fill under eye. His ears are carried well. He is compact with substance and is well muscled for his age. He stands well behind, but handler needs to watch placement of forefeet. His neck is of a good length and is slightly arched. He has a good spring of rib with good angulations good fore and aft. Overall, a clean outline with good markings. He was a little unsettled on the move in the class but was more settled in the challenge. BPD and BPIS.

2nd Hall's Fernleafred’s Fixation Masculine. This youngster was presented in excellent condition. He has a wedge-shaped head and a dark eye. His ear carriage was not to his advantage, and it detracted from his overall expression. He has substance with well sprung ribcage, He moved soundly but a little more confidence overall will enhance his presence, both stacked and on the move. This will come with time. He is well muscled and presented well.

Junior Dog

1st Bailey's Magicus Silvestris Prins Peter Pan (Imp Nor). This 11-month-old is masculine with the a wedge shaped head, dark almond shaped eye which are sparkling. He has excellent markings and the tan marking on the vent is almost fully covered by tail. He has a decent spring of rib and has substance and is well muscled. I would respectfully suggest that the handler works with this dog as his movement is not to his advantage, it will hamper his progress in the show ring. Well presented.

She has a good length of neck and when she uses herself shows off a lovely arch at crest. She has good angulations fore and aft with a well sprung rib. She had other plans or ideas on the day and wasn’t focused on the job in hand, so I could not satisfactorily evaluate her movement or her expression.

Yearling Bitch (0)

Post Graduate Bitch (3, 1 A)1st Walker's -  Horsestones Hotpot – This female caught my eye as she has some lovely qualities. She is a nice size, elegant yet compact, but she does tend to stand under herself at times which detracted from her outline. When she does set herself correctly, she stands well on strong well arched toes. She has a wedged shaped head, almond shaped eye, with a good underjaw. Her ribcage is well sprung, and angulations are good fore and aft. Her markings are correct. On the move she is sound fore and aft and in profile. I would respectfully suggest that her nails would benefit from being shorter. A lot to like about her and considered her for higher awards in the challenge for BB but she paced which eliminated her from going further.

2nd Brown's - Reidaldson Luna. This female is of a nice size, feminine, with substance and is well muscled. She has a wedge-shaped head. Her ribcage is well sprung with strong well arched toes. She has good markings with distinct thumb mark above her feet. Her movement on the day was not to her advantage and respectfully suggest that owner reviews and looks to work on this.

She has a good spring of rib and is well muscled. She has excellent markings and moves soundly. Presented well.
