A 2 year old very well presented young dog , lots to like, loved his very attractive markings , correct dentition and eye colour, strong body well ribbed , medium angulation , strong topline .Seen him run better, not at all in tune with his handler today which was such a shame.

OPEN DOG : 2 ENTRIES
1ST BAVERSTOCK MRS YVONNE & MR IAN. KALKASI JUST BECAUSE JW. Tall Elegant beautifully presented dog , he really was in top class condition. Lovely head and expression, strong neck of correct length, ribcage of good length, well muscled loins, good topline , tail set correct . Moved out freely with good drive , he could not be denied the dog CC and Best of Breed today well deserved and this I do believe gave him his crown .
2nd MCBAIN MISS SUSIE. LISJOVIA FLAMING DRAMBUIE FOR WILLMAC. Completely different type to winner of this class ,smaller in height but again lots to like ,stronger in the head ,deeper muzzle . Good body, deep chest , correct medium angulation . Not quite the topline of 1,could have stretched out better on the move , however a very nice dog .

VETERAN DOG :2 ENTRIES
1st HOLMES MISS L. CH LISJOVIA ESTEVEZ JW SHCM SHCEX VW . This 8 year old dog makes such an impression when he enters the ring, the biggest of all the dogs entered today. He has a strong head but without coarseness . Deep chest, strong loins, first class construction, standing straight in front on good feet . Correct straight topline which creates a good outline. He runs with plenty of enthusiasm with reach and drive. Pleased to award him Best Veteran.
2nd CUBELLO MRS K .NIGHT OWL .Another fine veteran of 8 years of age , has a finer head and body than 1 . He has lovely eye placement of correct colour and a lovely soft expression,good firm topline and good medium angulation. Today he just didn’t have the enthusiasm of 1 on the run round.

LIMIT BITCH : 4 ENTRIES
1st HARRIS, MRS SUSAN. FEBUS HARDKNOTT. I have admired this bitch from the ringside, so pleased she entered under me today . What is there not to like about her, at 3 years old she has matured into a beautiful feminine young lady .She is elegant and so pretty with her beautiful even head markings her expression is to die for. She is lighter in frame than most of the bitches , she carries herself so well on the move and held her topline perfectly. Presented a beautiful balanced outline. Groomed to perfection, a credit to the owners . She was confident on the move and I was pleased to award her her first CC with many more to come .
2nd DOWNES, MISS E AND MRS S . BELSHANMISH OCEAN SOUL. Another bitch I have long admired from the ringside and I thank the owners for bringing her under me. Coat presentation at its best a credit to the owners. Quality head and expression, a good skull, minimal stop, almond shaped eyes of correct colour. Well made throughout with correct angulation .A balanced outline on the stand. I did consider her for the RCC however she let herself down today as she was not happy on the run up and down nor on the run round . A real shame.
3rd KENNEDY MS KAREN & ROBERTS MISS NICOLA. KALKASI GRACEFUL SHADOW FOR JOAMJESS.

OPEN BITCH: 5 ENTRIES. Well what a class of fine bitches who will swap places each time they are shown, very hard class to judge .
1st GOODWIN, MR CRAIG & MRS KAREN. CH LISJOVIA WHITE LADY AVEC MONTMUSIQUE JW .My winner today on an all round lovely class of beautiful bitches. She has a lovely expression, pretty head, no coarseness , strong neck and a good body , Slightly longer cast than the rest of the bitches, but she still stands well balanced,with moderate angulation . Beautifully presented. She ran with reach and drive I was pleased to award her Bitch RCC .
2nd ASHER,MR P. PATABLANCA PHOENIX . A pretty bitch with super Blaireau markings which gives her a lovely soft expression. The same as for 1 matches perfectly in body and build and stands well balanced on strong legs . Today she didn’t quite run with as much enthusiasm and drive as 1. Much to like though .
3rd WILCOCK,MRS JACYNTH &MR ADAM SHAUN . CH PENELLCY SHE’S LIKE THE WIND.
