1. Hill’s Fernando Z Temnych Noci at Cyfelin (Imp Cz) Naf Taf. 6½ mth sable. Promising pup with lots to like. He is good for size and presented a nicely balanced outline with sufficient length of neck, firm level topline, good length to ribcage and rib developing well for age, short loin and tail set on nice and high. Nicely proportioned head with fairly flat skull, dark oval-shaped eyes, ears set on correctly and good dentition. Moderate layback of shoulder and good return of upper arm but just standing a little untidy in front. Moving in typical brisk fashion. Pleasing coat texture for age.

1. Dyer & Orr’s Musique Wishful Thinking. This class was headed by what turned out to be two 10 mth old litter brothers. The winner was this quality brown but many of the same comments apply to both and there was little to separate them. This boy appealed for overall type and balance with neck of correct length, nice short back with level topline, well ribbed back, short loin and tail set on nice and high. Masculine head and expression with good proportions, moderately defined stop, oval-shaped eyes of correct colour and set, ears set on well and correct dentition. Soundly built and moving freely with characteristic brisk action of the breed. Quality coat with good texture. RCC and Best Puppy.
2. Chambers’ Musique Quilo. Cream particolour. As already suggestion, another quality boy and presenting a beautifully balanced outline with clean neck of correct length, firm topline, good length to ribcage, short loin and tail set on high. Most attractive headpiece with super eye and ear, correct skull to muzzle proportions and scissor bite. The winner just had the better rib at this stage but very little in it and I am sure both will have successful show careers ahead of them.
3. Gray’s Isilme Hobbit of the Shire

1. Bayliss’ Kysiena Chant of the Dream with Karmajen. 21 mth cream who presented a pleasing outline with sufficient length of neck, short level topline, fair spring to rib but ribcage of good length, short loin and good tail for both set and carriage. Moderate layback of shoulder, elbows close to the body, nice straight forelegs, cat-like feet and moderately angulated hindquarters. Nicely proportioned head with fairly flat skull, ears set on well, clean cheeks and eyes good for colour but a tad rounder than I would prefer. Somewhat erractic on the move at times but when settled he moved well in profile and when going away but could be more positive coming towards.

1. Serman’s Printzagems Late Arrival for Tymy. Rather mixed class which was headed by this quality 2 yr old black. He appealed for overall type, is good for size and presented a nice compact outline. Moderately short neck, firm level topline, good length to ribcage, short muscular loin and high set curled tail. Moderately sloping shoulder, nice straight forelegs and cat-like feet. Muscular hindquarters but a little more angulation than I would prefer. Attractive head with good skull to muzzle proportions, super ears for size and set, clean cheeks, moderate stop, dark expressive eyes and correct dentition. Moving soundly all through with typical brisk action and making the most of himself at all times. Excellent coat.
2. Moir’s Jansanleis Loud 'N' Proud. 2 yr old white who pleased for size, type and balance with correct length of neck, firm topline and tail set on nice and high. Quality head of good skull to muzzle proportions, fairly flat skull, dark oval-shaped eyes of good set, moderate stop, ears set on well and clean cheeks. Tad shorter in rib then preferred. Well made forequarters with moderate layback of shoulder, nice straight forelegs and cat-like feet. Excellent coat and presentation and very well handled.
3. Lewis’ Indizak Hakuna Matata at Louchelle

OD (10,2)
1. Dyer’s Oberitz Curiousity at Javarm. 3 yr old black who was a comfortable winner in this class. He not only looked good but was also a quality boy to go over. Soundly constructed all through with moderate angles both front and rear, standing nice and straight in front on small, cat-like feet and with excellent muscling. Moderately short neck, firm level topline, ribbed well back and good spring to rib, short muscular loin and high set curled tail. Quality head and expression with fairly flat skull, moderate stop, good skull to muzzle proportions, the very best eyes and ears, clean cheeks and correct scissor bite. He certainly didn’t disappoint on the move, using himself fully and moving in typical brisk fashion. Excellent coat. Shown to advantage here to take a well deserved CC.
2. Chambers’ Manzamas It’s Right It’s Wrong (Imp Swe). 3 yr old cream of excellent type, size and balance and more compact than the winner. Another with such a good head; nicely proportioned with dark oval-shaped eyes of medium size, ears set on high, good skull to muzzle proportions, moderate stop and correct dentition. Neck of correct length, short back with good topline, ribcage could extend further back to advantage and tail set on nice and high. Moderate layback of shoulder, elbows close to the body, nice straight forelegs and small cat-like feet. Moving briskly in profile but could not match the rear action of winner. Quality coat and handled to advantage.
3. Cook’s Goldritz Stole The Sun

VD (1,0)
1. Beck’s Nardik Tiger Woods. 7 yr old black, presented in such excellent condition and absolutely full of himself! He presented a nice compact outline with pleasing length of neck, firm topline, nice spring of rib but would like to see ribcage extending further back and curled tail set on nice and high. Good skull to muzzle proportions with fairly flat skull, moderate stop, ears set rather high and perfect dentition with pearly white teeth! Standing a tad wider in front then preferred, but straight and he has nice cat-like feet. Moving well all through with characteristic brisk action. Excellent coat.

1. Godridge’s Isilme Lady of Rivendale. 8 mth orange sable. Feminine youngster who doesn’t need to grow any more. Nicely proportioned head with broad skull, moderate stop, clean cheeks and correct dentition. Eyes are good for colour but a little rounder than desired and ears set on well. Neck of correct length, firm topline, good length to ribcage and rib developing nicely for age, strong loin and curled tail set on high. She stands well in front on small cat-like feet and hindquarters are moderately angulated with well let down hocks. Moving well enough in profile but could be tidier coming towards. Good coat. Best Puppy Bitch.

JB (2,0)
1. Hall’s Nardik Inky Dinky Doo. Two completely different types here. The winner was this brown/white particolour. She is at the lower end of the standard but good to go over given her sound construction with moderate angulation both front and rear, nice straight forelegs, small cat-like feet and moderate turn of stifle with well let down hocks. Feminine headpiece with fairly flat skull, good proportions, oval-shaped eyes of medium size, ears set on well and correct dentition. She has enough neck, firm topline, rib extends well back, strong loin and curled tail set on well. Moving in typical brisk fashion. Good coat.
2. Tullis’ Radajasa’s Greta Zelle. Wolf sable/white particolour. Scopier girl than the winner and rather immature but still lots to like and what an exhuberant character she is! She presented a pleasing outline with correct length of neck, level topline, ribbed well back, short loin and nice high tail set. Well proportioned head with feminine expression, correct eye and ear, clean cheeks, moderate stop and correct scissor bite. She is a little wider in front and elbows could be closer to the body but she moved better than I expected coming towards and in profile moved briskly with good self carriage.

1. Hall’s Nardik Inky Dinky Doo
2. Godridge’s Lusam Razzle Dazzle. 4 yr old who presented a nice compact outline with moderately short neck, firm level topline and curled tail set on high. Head of good proportions with good breadth to her fairly flat skull, moderate stop, clean cheeks and correct dentition. Eyes are a tad rounder than I would prefer but of good colour. Ribcage could extend further back. Moving nice and straight coming towards and briskly in profile with good self carriage but a little closer going away. Nice cat-like feet and moderately angulated hindquarters. Good coat.

LB (3,2)
1. Griffiths’ Cyfelin Pease Blossom. 3 yr old black with lots to like. Feminine throughout with attractive head and expression; good skull to muzzle proportions, moderate stop, nice eye for size and shape, ears set on well and correct scissor bite. Moderately short neck, firm topline, good length to ribcage, short loin and tail set on nice and high. She stands nice and straight in front on excellent feet and has moderate angulation behind with well let down hocks. Moving out briskly on the go around but pinning in front. Good coat.

OB (8,2)
1. Pearce & Francis’ Ch Longdale’s Jen You Win JW ShCM. 7 yr old cream and the ultimate showgirl, standing foot perfect at all times and never taking her eyes of her handler. She presented the most beautifully balanced outline with excellent neck, short level back, excellent ribbing, short muscular loin and curled tail set on high. Faultless construction both front and rear, moderate layback of shoulder and good length of upper arm, elbows close to the body, standing nice and straight in front on small, cat-like feet and moderately angulated hindquarters with hocks well let down. Nicely proportioned head with fairly flat skull, moderate stop, clean cheeks and the very best of ears. She is outstanding on the move, true on the down and back and moving out briskly on the go around, using herself at all times. Like them all, she is not without her shortcomings but the overall package is quite something and she well deserved the CC & BOB today and I was thrilled to see her end the day by taking Group 2.
2. Tullis’ Ch/Ir Ch Radajasa Double Agent Nyx Jun Ch. 5 yr old white. Another with much to like. She is out of a smaller mould than the winner but such a good type and presenting a nice compact outline. Moderately short neck, short level back, good length to ribcage and well sprung ribs, nice short loin and curled tail set on high. Attractive head with good skull to muzzle proportions, moderate stop, clean cheeks, dark oval-shaped eyes of correct set, small ears set on well and correct dentition. Excellent front assembly with elbows held close to the body, straight forelegs and small, round feet. Rear not that of winner. Moving briskly with good self carriage. Quality coat.
3. Rogerson’s Nosregor Lies'N'Deceet

VB (1,0)
1. Trendle’s Ch Lusam Parti Popper ShCM. 11½ yr old Black/white particolour. A girl I have done well for in the past and today she still looked the part and showed her socks off as she always does. She appeals for overall type and is so well balanced with neck of correct length, firm level topline, ribbed well back, short muscular loin and curled tail set on nice and high. Feminine head of correct proportions with fairly flat skull, moderate stop, good skull to muzzle proportions, dark expressive eye, excellent ears, clean cheeks and nice dark pigmentation. Moving out briskly with such good carriage and doing all she was asked and more besides. Excellent coat and very well handled here today to take the RCC.

1. Trendle’s Lusam Toodle Pip. 6 yr old wolf sable who presented a nicely balanced outline with moderately short neck, short back, acceptable topline, good length to ribcage and nice spring of rib, short loin and high set curled tail. Soundly constructed with moderate angles both front and rear, nice straight forelegs and small cat-like feet. Good head proportions with fairly flat skull, medium stop, good eyes for colour but ears set a little wider apart than preferred and a tad larger. Nice and straight on the down and back and eye catching brisk action in profile. Good quality coat and another showing herself to advantage.
