1st Place 5658 - Bagshire Freddy Flintstone (A J Bagshaw)  A well-presented 7-month-old male in good coat and condition. Nicely balanced head with a well-shaped eye and medium-sized, well-set ears. Good development through the body for age, with a well-set tail, carried correctly over the back. Stands on good legs and feet. Positive movement, holding his shape well, although a little loose coming towards. A promising young male with plenty of time to mature and develop further.

Masculine head and expression. Excellent ears for size and set. More forechest to develop with maturity, and he needs time to strengthen and firm up his front movement but side gait showed good reach and drive.

1st Oberitz Dragonfly over Pavoskas (Mr S J & Mrs S & Mrs S Cooper & Cooper & Critchlow)

POST GRAD BITCH 3(1)

1st Place 5671 - Gwen Festival at Sharoday (Mr R & Miss S Morgan & Griffiths) Presented in excellent coat and condition, with a pretty head and pleasing eye. Ears could be a little smaller and higher set. Good development through the body, although a touch long in loin. Moved well in profile, showing a positive side gait and maintaining a pleasing outline on the move. 

2nd Place 5660 - Rosco's Breeze (Miss T Beck) A nice female who presents well when she settles. Good proportions with a pleasing head and expression, although she was not using her ears to best advantage today. Nicely balanced in body, but unfortunately she lacked confidence in the class and lost her shape on the move, which ultimately cost her the class. With greater confidence and ring presence, she could show her qualities to better effect.

OPEN BITCH 4(1)

1st - Ch Longsdale's Remember Me (Mr G & Mr D Pearce & Francis)  A very well-presented bitch with a profuse coat, standing well on good bone and proportions. She consistently showed herself to advantage throughout. Balanced head with a correct eye and neat, well-used ears, giving a lovely expression. Well developed in body and of excellent construction, which was reflected in her sound, balanced movement in all directions. A quality bitch who impressed for her overall breed type and construction, and I was delighted to award her the BITCH CC

2nd Nosregor Easy On Me (Miss M Rogerson) So much to like about this girl, who presents a beautifully balanced outline with good proportions, standing on good legs and feet. Feminine head with a pleasing eye, although her ears are slightly lower set than the winner’s. Good chest and forechest, with a short, compact body. Moved well in profile, showing a positive side gait, although she could be a little cleaner coming and going. A very pleasing bitch with much to commend her. RESERVE BITCH CC
