Critique

P (5,2a) 1 Francis, Pearce & Quinn’s Longsdale Leave A Little Luv, little beauty, with a glorious head, well shaped eye, & correct ear shape & placement, beautifully made in front, with good deep rib & level topline, well placed & carried tail, sound rear, moved so well for such a youngster, sound if a little unsteady in front, but she has plenty of time to tighten up. Lovely o/s coat. BP; 2 Spence’s Spencerian Doggy Style, black, very pretty, well made good wedge head, well placed ears, dark eyes, good topline & tail, in full coat, but she was not settled today; 3 Spence’s Spencerian Sexy And I Know It. J (7,1) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Longsdale’s Dilemma, black bitch with everything to like about her, correct & typical head, skull, length of muzzle, ears & dark eye, really liked her super topline, neck & tail, she is so balanced & eyecatching, in full coat, & she is very sound; 2 Wright’s Orion Chloe May, well up for size, but well balanced, feminine head, good neck, chest & forechest, good topline & tail, just shedding her coat, but a lovely bitch; 3 Moir & Corkin’s Jansanleis Neat ‘N’ Tidy. PGD (1) 1 Bamford’s Kysiena Spring Tide at Hazdawn, b/w, with a handsome head, correct wedge shape, & good ears, but lacked reach & drive. In good coat. LD (2) 1 Bamford’s Applebanks Goldfinger at Hazdawn, orange with a lovely typical masculine head of good proportions, dark amber eye & well placed ears, quite well angulated, well up for size, sound & in good coat, but dog & handler need to train more to stop him pulling to one side; 2 Thomas’ Indizak Heart And Soul, g/s, in good coat & condition, not so sound in his conformation & his movement is therefore not sound either. OD (4) 1 Wright & Halligan’s Nardik Eclipse, black right up to size, with a beautifully shaped typical head, masculine, but not at all coarse. Excellent front & rear angulation, topline, tail & neat feet, deep rib & a reasonably harsh coat, when he moves he is quite thrilling to watch. CC; 2 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longsdale’s Willie Win, perfectly sound dog, reach & drive, no lift in front, great topline & well set tail, grand solid body, deep rib & forechest, for me he just isn’t masculine enough in head, although his head is balanced. RCC; 3 Jackson & Minshall’s Holbain Just Like Bill. PGB (2) 1 Bamford’s Applebanks April Showers at Hazdawn, very pretty brown/w with a super feminine head, well shaped ears & good eye, nicely made in front, deep rib of good shape, super topline & well set tail, sound rear & very stylish mover; 2 Spence’s Spencerian Kiss Me Quick, pretty bitch with a good head, bit lengthy in back for me & unsettled on the move. LB (4) 1 Hill’s Cyfelin Solitaire, g/s with a lovely feminine head, well shaped eye & ears, head well balanced. Well made all through, topline, tail, rib, lengthy neck, in full coat & absolutely sound; 2 Bamford’s Applebanks Skye At Midnight at Hazdawn, black, so much to like about this beauty, so sound all through, grand rib & topline, lovely typical head, eye & expression. OB (5) 1 Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longsdale’s Jen You Win, cream with the most beautiful balanced feminine head, super shaped dark eye, correct in ear, well placed & angulated front, good bone & neat feet, good deep lengthy rib, dead level topline, well angulated rear & best of tailsets. She is just sound all through, moves with reach & drive & has such a ring presence & quality, delight to go over & thrilling to watch moving, delighted to award her CC & BOB today; 2 Pearce & Francis’ Longsdale Feel Free To Stare, impressive cream who was not at all overshadowed by the winner, quite close between the two of them, lovely quality sound bitch who could go all day, she has a great body, super head, eye & ear, in wonderful full coat. RCC; 3 Hill’s Cyfelin Rudna Juliet. VB (1) 1 Moir’s Ch Stormavon Sky Flyer to Jansanleis, cream, looked a picture, nicely balanced, good for size & substance, lovely head, well shaped & placed ears, good eye, neck & front. Correct topline & tail, very sound & stylish mover & in full coat & wonderful condition. BV.
