Critique

VD (1) 1 Lasaulette Rustic Rudyard. A very fit white and black particolour dog, typical in outline and temperament. Powerful, very masculine head, attractive ears. Rather round in eyes. Strong neck, short, firm topline, he makes a typical ball. His tail is well set and carried. Ample bone. Somewhat wider in front than ideal both standing and moving, otherwise he stands well on his feet and moved well from the side, at all times keeping his balance. 

PD (2) 1 Indizak Shades Of Winter In Candease. Well handled, wolf sable dog, with a typical busy attitude. Could have been shorter-coupled and his lack of underwool does not improve that impression. Typical, masculine, well proportioned body, attractive expression. His ears are more than large enough, but again the coat on the day did not help. Excellent neck and shoulder. Firm topline, well set tail. Moved steadily and with a pleasing balance. 2 Kysiena Chant Of The Spirits At Karmajen. Sweet, but very immature white and crème puppy, not yet fully developed in his masculinity and with a rather blank expression. He scored with his short, well knit body. Tail could be higher set. Rich undercoat. Good legs and feet. Needs to develop also in his movement from all angles. 

JD (4, 1) 1 Jansanleis Hot' N' Happening For Musique. Beautiful white dog in full bloom, very easy on the eyes. Typical head, attractive expression. Acceptable nose pigment. Excellent ears. Strong neck. Lovely short back, excellent tail-set. Exceptionally beautiful double coat. Moved really well from the side, but needs to stabilize behind. I thought I had my winner in this dog already, but in the end he had to settle for the  Res CC. 2 Longsdale Devil In Disquise With Trebettyn. Another well proportioned, square dog with a lovely outline. His head is not quite his fortune; could be more masculine, stronger in muzzle, he is round in eyes and has widely set ears. Strong neck. Excellent topline, great tail. Beautiful crème coat. Very well presented and handled. He moved quite well, but not quite as well from the side as the winner. 3 Fecimus Under The Sea. 

PGD (1) 1 Printzagems First In Line. Black dog, very powerful and masculine, pushing the limit for size and substance. Typical head and expression. Very neat, small ears. Strong neck. I would have liked to see his tail covering more of the distance towards the neck, but then he is more than long enough for my ideal. Carried more weight than ideal. Very brave in his temperament, he could do with some more discipline. Moved quite well, but could show some more elegance in movement as well. 

LD (4, 2) 1 Nardic Tiger Woods. Well proportioned dog, black with frosting. He is elegant and has quality. Well proportioned typical head, rather round eyes. Used his neck very well both standing and moving adding class. Short and firm topline. Well set and carried tail. He makes a very attractive overall picture in movement from the side, typically brisk. Could be perfected coming and going. Not in optimal coat condition, still a very neat dog. 2 Kysiena Enchanted Sky. Another well proportioned dog, particoloured. Too deep in stop and larger ears than the winner. Moderate neck which he could use more to his advantage. Pleasing topline. Deep chest. Compact body. An more than acceptable mover from all angles, but not the style of the winner. 

OD (7, 2) 1 Ch Nardik Eclipse. Instantly attractive black dog. Masculine, well proportioned and a really good mover. He looks larger than he is and easily made the measure. Typical head, attractive expression even if his eyes could be darker, but they are well placed and shaped. Used his neck to his advantage. Beautiful coat, optimally cared for. Excellent in movement and won this class with something in hand. CC. 2 Nardik New Moon At Icabel JW ShCM. Another attractive dog, creme. He is a smaller dog, but masculine enough. Well proportioned. Refined head. Not quite the firmness in body of the winner. Correctly short coupled. Well set and carried tail. Excellent coat. Moved light on his feet and showed elegance. 3 Ch Printzagems Verve. 

VB (3) 1 Prinztagems Tantalize. A super black bitch, totally defying her age. Excellent proportions, she is short coupled and makes a ball. Well shaped and proportioned head, eyes a little round. She both stood over her legs and feet and moved brilliantly and is quite a showgirl. Excellent topline and tail. Excellent coat in ship shape condition. Truly a top representative of her breed, in this form should win her third ticket very easily. CC & BOB. 2 Ch Luzam Parti Popper ShCM. Another very well proportioned, feminine particoloured bitch of excellent type and quality. Short coupled and collected. At an age of ten and a half she is in excellent muscular condition and can show most of the youngsters how to move. Lovely tail. Not in the coat condition of the winner. 3 Chilite Lunar Moon. 

PB (3, 1) 1 Rodeo Queen. Well developed white and brown parti bitch, compact and collected. I would not mind if she gains a little more length of leg with maturity. Well proportioned head, acceptable ears. Strong front, good topline, well set and carried tail. Beautiful, well conditioned coat. Enthusiastic and active in movement. Best Puppy. 2 Kysiena Whispering Wind At Kamrajen. Just six months old particolour, very much a puppy. Elegant, well proportioned and most feminine, but very immature, she has a long way to go both standing and moving. Lovely temperament. Acceptable bite. Coat under development. 

JB (3, 1) 1 Clarmers Ruby Red. For construction an attractive bitch, pale brown, very much out of coat and could look much better on another day. Feminine head, her ears seemed even bigger than they are as they had nothing to hide in. She also looked longer than she really is due to the coat condition. Excellent topline, well set tail. Well angulated in both ends. Active, sound mover. 2 Chilite Indian Summer. Very feminine white and brown parti. Low on legs and could do with more substance. Well conditioned coat. She moved without style and balance on the day. 

PGB (2, 1) 1 Jayfeather Busy Bee. Upstanding black bitch, covering more ground than ideal for her breed. Attractive head with very dark eyes, but wide-set ears. Firm, but long back, not being able to create the picture of a ball. She stood well over her legs and feet and moved soundly. Not in full coat, but what she had indicated correct coat quality. 

LB (4, 1) 1 Noregor Lies'n'deceet. Black bitch who comes into her own in movement, but could do with some more length of leg for my ideal. Ultrafeminine head with very pleasing expression. Short, firm topline, well set and carried tail. Ample coat of excellent structure. Highly typical movement; active and sound. Res CC. 2 Buffmyster Star Of The Show. Very feminine, small bitch, I would have liked her somewhat more substantial and sturdy, but she is very fresh and very short coupled. Refined feminine head. Good top coat, white and black. Could be more stable in movement as seen from behind, but moved well from the side. 3 Chilite Indian Shadow. 

GCB (1) 1 Lusam Toodle Pip. Wolf sable bitch who looked rather docile on the table, but came alive in movement. Strong bitch head, could do with somewhat less stop. Moderate neck. Short, compact body, well set tail. In a beautifully conditioned coat. She moved with plenty of enthusiasm and style, if rather high stepping in front.
