Critique

MPD 1 Holmes’ Pommary Dream Katcher, smart lad with a smallish head, but of good proportion & shape, correct stop & dentition & shows nice lines in profile with a well set tail. Needs to tighten up & has time on his side. Steady mover. PD (2) 1 BP, Dyers’ Oberitz Curiosity, quite a job to separate 1 & 2 who both have balanced heads, correct stop & neck & are both well made & nice for size with topline & tailset completing the picture in both cases. However 1 took it on overall movement & side gait as 2 did not get his act together; 2 Hewitts Oberitz New Horizons. JD (3) 1 Bamford’s Kysiena Spring Tide at Hazdawn, biggish lad with plenty of bone, balanced head & pleased in eye, ears & neck. Full of himself & held a firm topline at all times. Shown in good coat & moved out well both ways; 2 Corrs’ Crystalclear Sirius, close up, well made with a pleasing headpiece & dark, expressive eye, neat feet & just enough bone. Somewhat lacking in coat. Moved quite well once settled; 3 Dyers’ Oberitz Curiosity. PGD (2) 1 Beards’ Wyndlee Cam En Bear, pleasing brown, nice for size & well made. Medium sized head of good proportion, correct stop & neat well carried ears. Liked his balance in profile & moved out freely to take the class; 2 Carrington’s Kysiena Dances With Wolves, big lad with bone to spare. Masculine & pleases in eye, ears & neck & presented in good coat & condition. Steady mover once settled. LD (2) 1 Bamford’s Applebanks Goldfinger at Hazdawn, just pushing the measure. Well made, balanced, compact with a good double coat & pleased in head & eye with a firm topline & well set tail. Free mover with good side gait; 2 Holmes & leadbetters Birlington Bertie Of Bow, smaller package & all of a piece. Head shape, expression, neck & topline were all plus points. Steady mover once settled. OD (2) 1 CC, Corrs’ Ir/Int Ch Crystalclear Working On A Dream, pushed hard for BOB, but I think the heat eventually was a problem for this nice black who scores so well in head shape with a correct stop & neat well placed ears. Balanced, compact, plenty of bone & well ribbed up. Effortless mover both ways; 2 RCC, Quinns’ Ir Ch Cherokee Take It Easy, nice lad, well made, short coupled & has a well shaped headpiece & dark expressive eyes. Turned out in good coat he has a short, strong loin & a good set on. Held a level topline on the move. Should progress. VD (0).

MPB & PB (0). JB (1) 1 Bamford’s Applebanks April Showers at Hazdawn, pretty little girl who scores in head, eye & expression with neat, well shaped ears. With just enough bone, neat feet & shown in good coat she moved out well using her strong hindquarters. PGB (1) 1 Bamfords Applebanks Skye at Midnight at Hazdawn, well made & square, head of good shape from all angles & scored in neck, topline & tailset. Alright for bone & moved well fore & aft; 2 Mitchell’s Ahlenargens Fairy Nuff, not the substance & bone of 1 & took time to settle. Medium sized head, good dentition, neat feet & shows nice lines in profile. Steady mover. LB (2) 1 Dyers’ Oberitz Sinful Delights at Javarm, thought this brown would have a say in the challenge, but she faded. Square & compact, pleasing headpiece & a correct eye with good pigment, she has plenty of bone & a firm topline. Free mover; 2 Quinns’ Clarmers Diamond Bear, not the substance of 1 & a little short in coat, but well made, compact & she has neat well carried ears & shows nice lines in profile. Moved out well. OB (3,1) 1 CC & BOB, Chambers’ Ch Printzagems Viva La Diva for Musique, quality here, short, compact, nice for size & in profile showed her balance, excellent topline & side gait. Presented in good coat she is correctly angulated & is not exaggerated in any way. Stylish & free mover; 2 RCC, Trendle’s Lusam Toodle Pip, lively & full of herself, all of a piece & scoring with her well shaped head, straight front & neat feet. Compact & with just enough bone, she held a level topline on the move. Just preferred eye shape of 1. VB (1) 1 BV, Trendle’s Ch Lusam Parti Popper, has plenty of vim & vigour for her age & was shown in excellent coat. Plenty to commend, especially her balance, head shape & movement. Had a look at her for the RCC.
