PD (2/1) 
1) HUNTLEY, Mrs Jessica Fecimus Brother Bear – 6mth brown male head developing well for age with correct bite, eye shape and ear set with correct pigmentation to match his coat colour.

JD (2/2)
1) ANDREW, Ms Karoline - Claran Court Your Breath – 13mth cream male still only a youngster but pushing hard. Pleasing head with correct bite, dark expressive oval shaped eyes, black pigmentation and small, neat ears. Today he was in between coats but you can still see his lovely outline. Coat was of correct texture and with high set tail. Moved well coming and going and stood he was a picture earning himself the RCC.
2) BAYLISS, Mrs J Kysiena Lord Montague – Brown and white parti male with pleasing head but would have liked a slightly flatter skull. Correct bite and eye shape, small neat ears, and pigmentation to match coat. Very well coated short compact body with high set tail. Movement was a little untrue today and standing with his legs underneath him.
PG (1/1)

Pushed hard in the challenge today.
OD (1/1)
1) DAVIES, Dr Christina Ruth & Peck, Dr SJ & Bradbury – 4yr Wychlea Percy Vehere – Black male with the best of heads. Wedged shaped with a flat skull, correct bite, oval shaped eyes and neat well-set ears. Top size no doubt but under the measure today, Strong bone with straight front with catlike feet, short compact body and high set tail with coat of correct texture. Moved well coming and going, and stood he is a beautiful picture oozing breed type. Pleased to award him the CC, his 3^rd and today with BOB. Well done
VD/B (3/3)

2) Shepherd, Miss Natasha Chilite Indian chief – 13yr fawn male with pleasing head, correct bite, oval shaped eyes and small neat ears. Pigmentation is correct for coat colour. Another boy defying his age. Straight front with catlike feet, short compact body with high set tail, well coated and correct texture. Moved well coming and going. I would have liked just a little more of him all over but never the less a wonderful boy.
PB (1/1)
1 Shepherd, Miss Natasha - Melitabe Lyra - 6mth Sable female who needs to mature. Head was good for age but lacked length of muzzle, and I’d have liked a slightly less domed skull and tighter set ears. Good bite, black pigmentation. Short and compact body with good tailset, coat of good texture. Needed to settle on the move.

JB (1/1)
1) Shepherd, Miss Natasha - Fecimus Butter Me Up – 9mth gold sable female with a pleasing head, good bite, correct oval shaped eye and small well set ears. Brown pigmentation to match the coat. Good front, short compact body with high set tail. Profuse coat of correct texture. Moving well coming and going, stood she filled the eye. Pleased to award her BPIB
 
PG (1/1)
1) Shepherd, Miss Natasha - Fecimus Having A Giraffe – 2 1/2Yr wolf sable female. Pleasing head with correct bite, small neat ears, black pigmentation but would have preferred a less rounded eye. Would have liked a slightly longer foreleg to balance her out. Short body in profuse coat, high set tail. Moved ok, tends to cross on the front but stood well.

LB (2/2)

Beautiful wedge-shaped head with correct bite, oval shaped eyes and well set ears. Straight front with catlike feet, short compact body with high set tail. Coat of correct texture.
