Really enjoyed judging the breed today, however I found the bitches stronger than the dogs, especially in quality and breed type. Still too many pom heads, and I was surprised to find so many sloping toplines. Eye shape still needs watching, but I was thrilled with the overall quality of my winners and feel that the breed is in safe hands. 
MPD (1) 1 Rogerson, Nosregor Willhe Doo, 8 mts cream in good coat with a good eye shape and colour, not at all settled. 
JD (2) 1 Dyer & Orr, Musique Wishful Thinking, Brown of good size and shape, very sweet expression, nicely square in outline, strong masculine head, with flat skull and good proportions of skull and muzzle, good deep rib and level back and well set on tail. 2 Highmoor, Musique Rave On, Black in grand coat with a good eye and ear placement, attractive standing. 
PGD (3) 1 Dyer & Orr, Musique Wishful Thinking. 2 Bayliss, Kysiena Chant of the Dream at Karmajen, neat little cream dog with a good typey head, well shaped and placed eye and correct ears, neat feet. 3 Sutherland, Chilite Chogan. 
LD (4) 1 Serman, Printzagems Late Arrival For Tymy, small neat black with a really good body, correct in rib, topline & tail, good strong legs and neat feet, he has a good wedge head with a flat skull, well shaped and placed dark eyes and corredt ears and was very sound on the move. 2 Lewis, Indizak Hakuna Matata at Louchelle, cream sable, really looked lovely in outline, with a good eye colour and shape, neat legs and feet, movement not so good. 3 Wright, Montblanc Bjorn Ironside At Orion (Ikc) 
OD (7) 1 Pearce & Francis, Ch Longsdale's Willie Win JW Cream of good size and substance, neat body with strong level back, short loin and correctly placed and carried tail.Uses his well set ears well and he is very glamerous overall, but what really won him the class was his very precise and totally sound movement. CC 2 Dyer, Ch Oberitz Curiousity At Javarm very much my kind of dog, black, such good breed type, loved his head shape and eye placement and colour, correct ears too. He is well off for bone, good cat feet, deep rib and level back, he is square and stylish and well-muscled all through but just didn't move as well as one today. Res CC. 3 Beck, Wright & Halligan Ch Nardik Eclipse. 
VD (2) 1 Halligan, Nardik New Moon At Icabel JW Sh.CM, 7 years old cream, lovely quality of dog, cobby and square, with a grand body and neat feet and good bone, correct ears and good dark eyes, free and brisk on the move. BVIB. 2 Beck, Nardik Tiger Woods, 7years old black, again very cobby and sound with a good topline and tail, sound and stylish mover. 
MPB (3,1) 1 Bradbury, Wychlea Purple Image, Black with fabulous breed type, just everything you would want in a bitch, right for size and substance, picture perfect head shape, eye shape and colour, neat correctly placed ears, really super wedge head shape, her body is solid, with a good lengthy rib, strong level back and correct tail placement and carriage, she is sound as a pound and such a delight to go over. Res CC & BPIB. Definitely one to watch. 2 Andrew, Claran Court Of Dreams, cream, such a confident and happy girl, again good breed type, sound body, good rib topline and tail, lovely feminine head with a well shaped eye, and neat ears, very sound and another star in the making. 
PB (2) 1 Bradbury, Wychlea In The Purple, another fabulous bitch from this well known breeder, litter sister to the MPB I expect, as they are like twins, she is a beauty and is not at all overshadowed by her sister, to have two such quality bitches in one litter must be a dream come true. 2 Hewett, Chilite Little Bow At Spellcast NAF , Black & White, petit little girl, not really ready for the ring yet, need more body and time, but stylish mover. 
JB (1) 1 Bayliss, Kysiena She Who Wears Fur at Karmajen, brown, 20 mts, neat little girl with a good cobby body and a level back, good ears. 
PGB (3) 1 Hall, Nardik Inky Dinky Doo, Black & White, Attractive head, with good eyes and ears, nice front and neat feet, deep rib and ok topline, quite sound on the move. 2 Mellor, Nirvarna Sunset At Bellapip, Black & White that I really liked, she is cobby and square with a good body however she would benefit from loosing a pound or two. 3 Bayliss, Kysiena Whispering Wind at Karmajen. 
LB (4,2) This was not a good class. 1 Garwood, Buffmyster Star Of The Show, Neat and cobby black & white in good coat. 2 Beck, Holbain Honey Bunny,Gold in full coat, neat feet and good bone. 
OB (5,1) 1 Pearce & Francis, Ch Longsdale's Dilemma, this is the most stunning and beautiful bitch, she just oozes breed type and quality. She is just right for size and substance, cobby, with such a good solid body, neat feet and good strong bone, correct in shoulder and deep lengthy rib, strong level topline, short loin, well placed and carried tail,well muscled all through. The piece de resistance however is her gorgeous head, correct wedge shaped flat skull, correctly shaped and placed eyes with the most lovely expression, correct neat ears. So precise and sound both ways and it was such a pleasure to watch her move, she also has such ring presence. CC & BOB. 2 Rogerson, Nosregor Lies'n'deceet, This is another real quality bitch with a classic outline, good strong and solid body, correct topline and tail, lovely head and sound mover. 3 Godridge, Lusam Teazy Weazy.
