1 Roberts’ Penellcy You Could Be Mine for Davandrey; just over 18 months with the happiest of natures he really did try his mums patience, but all credit she persevered & wouldn’t give into his wanting to act the clown. Once settle he has a pleasing head developing, dark eyes well pigmented rims, well placed ears, neck of good length & well placed shoulders, good length of rib & firm loin, good rear angulation & cracking tail set & he carried his tail well up on move, give him another year to mature in mind & body he will be a super boy.

2 Flounders’ Kalkasi Just Imperial At Lakamoni; winner of last class
3 Kennedy & Roberts Kalkasi Shadow Chaser for Joamjess 

OB (5,2) Three super quality bitches & I had a job to split them, in end it was purely overall balance & movement. So comments could apply to all three here. All had very feminine heads with that pleasing intelligent expression, dark almond eyes well pigments rims, strong muzzles with good lip & nose pigment, strong muscular neck good depth chest & shoulders had a good lay back, rib lengths where good & loins strong, well-muscled hindquarters & lovely strong bone,
1 Goodwin’s Ch Lisjovia Adagio Avec Montmusique; just felt this bitch had the slightly better freer movement. Although in challenge her kennel mate pulled out that little extra.
2 Baverstock’s Kalkasi The Eternal Chase JW; preferred this bitches head but not quite movement of first but on another day they could be other way round.
3 Wilcock’s Ch Penellcy She’s Like The Wind 

VB (1)
1 Thorne’s Ch Belshanmish Pretty in Pink at Pyrajay Sh.CM; 9 year old bitch ultra-feminine & also very fit. Usually dogs loose muscle over the head with age but his bitch still has strong head but not course, her dark almond shaped eyes are still bright with a melting expression, with good infill underneath, muzzle broad & dark well pigmented lips, nose & eye rims, neck muscular & firm, shoulders well placed, ribs well sprung & loin firm with well-rounded croup, excellent muscle tone to hindquarters with good bend stifle & firm hocks all this shows in her ground covering easy gait, coat thick & maybe a little soft but I could forgive that on age, in challenge she really was powerful & more than worthy of CC. Pleased to see her win Pastoral Veteran Group 1
