Critique

JD (1) 1 Hamer's Clarmers Diamond Mischief. Blk in good coat and presenting a very compact outline, balanced head, but would prefer a darker eye, decent neck, shoulder and front, ribs well sprung and topline level, high set tail, good turn to stifle, sound but frantic mover who needs to settle to the job in hand.

PGD (1) 1 Holmes & Leadbetter's Birlington Bertie Of Bow. Square and quite well put together, head in proportion with dark eye of good shape, prefer neater ears, can move out very respectably once settled, coat a bit thin but harsh in texture and would benefit from conditioning.

LD (1) 1 Halligan's Nardik Eclipse. Blk in full coat of good texture, head is quite well laid out, eye could be a shade darker, good mouth and pigmentation, straight forelimbs, arch to neck, well ribbed up with very high tail set, turn to stifle, moved out soundly.

OD (3) 1 Wright's Ch Minigarden Emil Lovely Boy. Well balanced and shown in good coat, dark eye and scored in neater ears, decent shoulder and front, well ribbed up and firm in topline, very high set tail, moves out true, CC. 2 Pearce & Francis' Ch Longsdale's Willie Win. Pleased to see how he has matured, masculine without exaggeration, tip top presentation and showmanship, steady mover, RCC. 3 Halligan's Nardik New Moon At Icabel.

PB (2) 1 Griffiths' Cyfelin Pease Blossom. Blk, quite well constructed with balance to her square outline, dark eye, neat ears, good finish to muzzle and tidy mouth, firm elbows, ribs coming, high set tail, gentle turn to stifle, moved steady, BP. 2 Baker's Chilite Ayasha. Well turned out parti who needs some serious socialising and handling before her next outing.

JB (2) 1 Hamer's Clarmers Diamond Bear. Blk, compact in outline and very well balanced, feminine well laid out head, very neat in ear and eye, straight front, decent neck and ribcage, firm topline and high set tail, decent true mover, harsh coat, just needs a bit more furnishings around head to complete picture. 2 Hill's Cyfelin Solitaire. Larger sable and not quite so compact being longer caste, eye a little bold, quite well put together and nice to go over, moves out soundly.

PGB (1) 1 Trendle's Lusam Twinkling Star. Square and very well balanced, proportioned head well laid out, dark eye of good shape, decent finish to mouth, level topline and tail set high, not in her best coat today but steps out soundly holding shape.

LB (2) 1 Hamer's Clarmers Caramel Surprise. Square and well proportioned, eyes well placed and of appropriate colour, straight forelimbs, arched neck and good topline, high set tail carried well, a touch keen in front but sound and covers the ground, a worthy CC winner today. 2 Hill's Cyfelin Titania. Well grown sable shown in full coat, needs to settle to the job to be able to project her virtues to advantage, moved out soundly.

OB (3, 1) 1 Trendle's Ch Lusam Parti Popper, Eight and a half yr old parti, balanced in a square frame, well put together, expressive dark eye, decent straight front, well sprung ribs, level topline with tail set and carried high, purposeful mover shown in good coat, RCC. 2 Hamer's Clarmers Gem's A Diamond. Well grown blk of good shape with balance, needs more fill to muzzle, firm topline and high tail set, quite a good mover.
