choices. Thank you also to my Stewards for their help in making the whole

Minor
Puppy Bitch (5,1a)
1st
Waller’s Isfryn Lady Godiva. Exquisite youngster in
lovely condition and so well presented. Mature in attitude for her age.
Excellent marking and rich colour. Typical shape to skull with kind, biddable
eye and expression. Correct clean dentition. Well balanced between front and
rear, and developing well in bone and musculature throughout. Moved out
straight and true coming and going, with positive drive from well placed hocks on tight, neat feet. I have no doubt that
the future is bright for this girl.
2nd
Dixon’s Stedigan Starz In Their Eyes. Another very promising young lady in tip top
condition and well prepared. Developing well in all departments and so keen to
please. Epitome of the breed in skull shape and temperament. Good overall
balance. The experience was just a touch overwhelming for her on the day which
affected her movement, but without doubt another to look out for.
3rd
Cooper’s Isfryn Lady Grey.
Puppy
Bitch (4,1a)
1st
Graham’s Ferndel Cover Story About
Nyliram JW. There are occasions when a Puppy is
handed a green card and you can’t help but wonder from ringside whether it is
mature enough to be deserving of its title. I can assure you that is not the case
with this young lady, who had just a week to go before her first birthday.
Presented in outstanding condition and with such rich colour to her markings,
she is so typical of the breed. With her kind, biddable temperament and an
overwhelming wish to please, she has an ideal shape to her skull with correct,
clean dentition. Her good reach of strong clean neck leads so well into
forehand, with excellent spring of rib and ideal balance between front and rear
assemblies. Her pleasing height to length ratio fills the eye and she is well
developed for her age in both bone and musculature. Short, strong coupling and well muscled over loin. On the move, she is straight and
true coming and going with good driving action on neat feet. I couldn’t fault
her and was pleased to award her the Bitch RCC. I was so pleased later, with my
co-judge’s consent, to also make her Best Puppy in Breed.
2nd
Woodward’s Hinxwood Fire And
Ice. Another youngster who is developing well and presented in excellent
condition. Sweet expression and temperament. Developing in well in bone and
muscle, she is co-ordinated on the move with a smooth action on tight feet.
3rd
Dixon’s Stedigan Starz In Their Eyes.
Junior
Bitch (5,0a)
1st
Caldwell’s Hillpark Queen Bee For
Cerysan. This one year and one day old lady is a
class act. I particularly liked her attitude to the job in hand and her
overwhelming wish to please her handler. In super condition and developing
well, she is well balanced throughout and it certainly shows when she is on the
move. Her action is co-ordinated and smooth, going around the ring without any
effort whatsoever.
2nd
Jones’ Julita Rumours At Trosley. A substantial youngster in good condition and with
an alert, biddable temperament. Strong reach of clean neck and well ribbed body
allowing plenty of heartroom. Good balance between
front and rear. Strong in coupling and over loin. Moved out well and true but
not quite the smoothness of winner. None the less, and excellent performance
all round.
3rd
Jackson’s Haltonian Comedy Of
Errors.
Yearling
Bitch (5,0a)
1st
Tew’s Pamicks Field Of Dreams JW. Quality bitch in tip top condition and well
presented. Correct shape to skull with alert, kind eye and biddable attitude.
Clean reach of neck and well sprung ribs. Nothing overdone yet well developed
and showing great strength in bone and muscle. Strong short coupling and well muscled over loin. Correct balance fore and aft
providing a co-ordinated smooth and effortless action on tight feet.
2nd
Ritchie’s Sarabande Eternity At
Slapestones (AI) JW. At almost two years of age, this
girl is maturing well. Excellent presentation and firm condition. Ideal
shape to skull and kind eye. Well ribbed and well off for bone and muscle
throughout. Not quite the smoothness of action as winner on the day and I would
have preferred a touch more tightness in front feet. None the less and
excellent performance.
3rd
Caldwell’s Hillpark Queen Bee For
Cerysan.

Bitch (3,0a)
1st
Barkley’s Cherryheath’s Miss Velocity JW. Two year
old of good overall substance, with developed bone and musculature throughout.
Very good general condition and a keen attitude to please. Correct shape to
skull and well ribbed body. I would prefer slightly tighter front feet but
apart from that a creditable performance. 2nd Hawley’s Sorrel Berry
Maternal Love. Maturing girl in good overall condition and well presented.
Excellent temperament, although expression could have more life. Developed bone
and muscle overall with well sprung ribcage and good balance between front and
rear. On the move she was steady but lacking a little in energetic animation. 3rd
Bowman’s Amblelight Rose.
Post
Graduate Bitch (7,0a)
1st
Sutherland’s Jacranella Sonata. What a lucky lady to
have had a litter of top class examples of the breed. This particular bitch is
so full of breed type and charisma. Excellent shape to skull with kind
expression and enthusiasm. In hard condition, she has a balanced overall
outline and it doesn’t fail to please when you get your hands on her.
Proportionate depth of sprung ribcage with strong coupling and muscular loin.
On the move she is efficient and straight, driving so well and true from well placed hocks and tight strong feet.
2nd
Owen’s Typica Seren Aur. Another of excellent balance and style, with good
skull shape and biddable attitude. Clean reach of neck and well ribbed body. In
tip top condition and presented in immaculate coat. Her topline
was a touch level for me when standing, but it didn’t detract from her easy
flowing action when on the move which was positive and efficient.
3rd
Charles’Stagarth A Kind Of
Magic.
Mid
Limit Bitch (3,0a)
1st
Attwood’s Kylowen Demelza.
Quality bitch of correct type, who was well prepared and presented with good
shape to skull and workmanlike attitude. Clean reach to neck and well sprung
ribcage. Correct overall balance and well off for bone and muscle. Moved out
true on neat feet.
2nd
White’s Fiergen Steamy Windows. Well
presented bitch with kind eye and temperament. Developed in bone and
muscle throughout. Not quite the flow of easy movement as winner and front feet
splayed a touch too much for me. None the less a kind lady with good attitude.
3rd
Greenway’s Ferndel Story Time.
Limit
Bitch (5,0a)
1st
Sutherland’s Jacranella Serenade. Outstanding two year old in first class hard
condition, just oozing with breed type and quality. From her superb head shape
with correct dentition and kind eye, to the balanced symmetry of her body she
cannot be faulted. Ideal height to length ratio gives her a most desirable
outline, which is complemented by an effortless striding action covering the
ground with effortless efficiency. Her steadiness of temperament combined with
a mouthwatering body shape and ideal topline, made it easy for me to hand her the BCC. With the
agreement of my co-judge she was also deservedly Best Opposite Sex and Reserve
Best in Show.
2nd
Thomas’s Bowdonia Anastasia. In rich coat and excellent
overall condition, this two year old was another who pleased me greatly.
Correct balance between front and rear assemblies. Well sprung ribcage and good
strength in bone and musculature. On the move she was straight and true coming
and going. Well placed hocks and neat feet completed the picture. Unfortunate
to come up against winner on the day.
3rd
Graham’s Nyliram Miss Joules JW.
Open
Bitch (7,0a)
1st
Thomas & Upton’s Sh Ch Bowdonia Seraphina JW ShCM. In
excellent overall condition and presentation, this girl displays perfect
balance between front and rear, giving such a desirable complete picture of
what the breed should look like. Desirable shape to skull with biddable
expression. Correct dentition. Clean reach of strong neck leading well into
forehand. Well sprung ribcage giving plenty of heartroom.
Strong in bone and musculature throughout. Her movement is precise and
effortless, driving well from well placed hocks and
strong, tight feet.
2nd
Sutherland’s Sh Ch Jacranella Symphony. Another outstanding bitch from that
same litter as previously mentioned. So well balanced and proportionate
throughout. Nothing overdone and so pleasing to the eye. On the day she was not
as settled as winner, but none the less an exact epitome of the breed.
3rd
Caldwell’s Bodonia Bellissima For Cerysan.
Veteran
Bitch (3,1a)
1st
Barkley’s Cherryheath’s Miss Chief JW. A ladylike ten
year old pensioner, this quality lady does everything asked of her. Showing her
age in her kindly face, yet she is well bodied throughout and moves like a
youngster.
2nd
Luckett-Roynon’s Solva Guiletta. Seven year old in fair condition and
presentation. Kind expression. Well boned and balanced between front and rear.
Moved steadily and straight.
Special
Beginners Bitch (4,1a)
1st
Charles’ Stagarth A Kind Of
Music. Preparation and presentation of this lady didn’t really do her justice.
She has an attractive expression and good shape to her skull. Correct
dentition. Well sprung ribcage and balanced between front and rear assemblies.
Good symmetry in ratio of height to length. Strong bone but muscle could be
harder. Moved out well and performed with credit once she was allowed to do so.
2nd
Greenway’s Ferndel Story Time. Sweet five year old in
good condition. Alert expression and biddable attitude. Well ribbed and with
developed bone and musculature. A touch high on the leg for me in proportion to
her length which spoilt the overall balance, but none the less she put on a
very satisfactory performance.
3rd
Greenway’s Ferndel Scarlet.
Special
Working Bitch (2,0a) 1st Smith’s Isfryn Hocus Pocus JW. Quality three year old in tip top
condition and so well presented. Balanced throughout and in hard condition, she
is well ribbed and has great strength in coupling and over loin. She moved out
so well, covering the ground with easy drive from well
placed hocks and strong, tight feet. She could have gone on all day.
2nd
White’s Fiergen Steamy Windows. See Mid Limit.

BILL
BUNCE – Judge
Since the Dog
judge (Jan Janes) and the Bitch judge (Bill Bunce) agreed on all their joint
decisions, my services as Referee were not required, however I was very pleased
to judge Brace and Special Breeders
Brace (8 entered, 0 absent)
A lovely class
– so good to see so many braces in the ring at once. Some were not quite so well matched and
others were obviously less used to being moved together as a brace.
1.
Caldwell & McDowell’s brace of beautifully
matched dogs – father and son. They
moved in unison with power and drive.
2.
Graham’s
well matched pair of bitches. Didn’t
move together quite as well as 1.
3.
Smith’s
mother and six month old son.
Beautifully and sensitively handled, moved more slowly as befits a pair
including a young puppy.
Special Breeders (2, 1 Withdrawn)
1.
Sutherland’s
Sh Ch Jacranella
Symphony – 2 year old well-muscled bitch.
Feminine head with sweet expression.
Would prefer a slightly more laid back shoulder. Moved at speed, wish she had been more
relaxed with her tail.
