DCC & BOB Stonelight Dashing Denzel. RDCC Kimba Crests Carte Diamond. BCC Wychlea The Dutchess. RBCC Ch Wychlea Anne Versary JW. BP Stonelight Electra. Most of the dogs were in good condition, however there were some that needed not only a bath but a good comb out. When entries are A320 surely you could go to the trouble of good grooming. Once again I would like to thank my very able Stewards.

VD (7,0) 1 Hawker, Ch Chilite Navajo. Brown & white parti. Good head & ear set. Excellent conformation & harsh coat. Moved well. 2 Parden, Limburg City Slicker Mit Dunbrook. ShCM. Black & White Parti. Another good one. Unlucky to meet 1. Same good conformation & coat quality. Good movement. 3 Naylor Ch Tymy Desert Hawk At Aniday. Sable & white. He moved well, same remarks as 1 & 2. Unfortunately not in his best  coat.

Sp PD (4,0) 1 Clarke, Stonelight Enzo. Black. Nicely made boy. Ex head & ears. Over all good construction. Movement a bit erratic, but should improve with maturity. 2, 3 & 4, withheld.

Sp JD (6,0) 1 Carr, Kimbacrests Carte Diamond. Cream. Very nice Spitzy outline. Good in head and ears. Conformation is good leading to excellent movement. Just a tad over the measure, but I didn’t push it down either. Res CC. 2  Reynolds, Biddle Double Top. Black & white Parti. Close up to 1. liked his head and ear set, well made with good coat. Movement was not quite as positive on the day. 3 Thomas, Miraje Naughty But Nice Misses. Orange. Good spitzy type overall, moved well, would prefer smaller ears.

PGD (7,1) 1 Metcalfe, Flactem Domino. Black & white Parti. A good type, with good head and ear set. Correct coat texture. Moved ok. 2 Hill’s, Enzo Z Temnych Noci At Cyfelin, (Imp Cze). Wolf sable. A bit heavier made than 1 but not coarse. Good in conformation. Typical Spitzy outline. Moved well. 3 Bray, Stormavon Special To Me To Abbicher. Orange sable. Not a bad type. Good ears, would prefer a bit more foreface & movement a bit erratic.

LD (9,1) 1 Palmer-Jones, Stonelight Dashing Denzel. Black. I loved this boy. Correct wedge shape to head (as had all my winners) neat ears and dark eye. Conformation was excellent giving super movement CC & BOB. 2 Dickinson, Wychlea Pickle. Have always admired this boy, he was close up to 1 and same remarks apply, on the day he did not move as well as I know he can. 3 Hawker, Chilite Smokin Joe. Cream. Profuse coat, but it hid no major faults, his movement was ok. On the day he was not as confident as 1 & 2.

OD (10,1) 1 Highmoor, Ch Kartmel Legolas. Black. Typical Spitz outline. Good head, ears & conformation. Coat is harsh & he moved well. In the challenge he just seemed to lose his sparkle. 2 Dickinson, Taylor, & Ventura, Ch Terendak Bubble Baileys. Cream. This boy holds a profuse harsh coat. Has good conformation  and moved ok. 3 Naylor, Oldcharm Black Knight. Shaded Black. He is good example of the breed, unlucky to meet 1 & 2, and he moved well.

Heavier set, but still balanced & movement good.

Sp PB (8,1) 1 Kimber & Bridgen, Stonelight Electra. Black. Very typey. Soundly made with a good head ears are very neat. Good overall construction, giving good movement. BP. 2 Allison, Oberitz Astrobee. Well up to 1st and similar remarks apply but her rear movement was not as positive. 3 Ruff, Holbein Here To Stay. Brown & white parti. Different type to1 & 2 but still has good construction & movement.

Sp JB (6,2) 1 Ruff, Holbein Here To Stay. Had settled in this class & deserved 1st place. 2 Gilbert-Baker, Stormavon Shine On Me Over Chandera. Black. Nice youngster, of a good type, lacking in coat.
