Critique

MITTEL MPD. (3). 1. Stevens’, Galvizach Playboy. 7 months and though not quite a picture as second, quite sound with good angles in quarters and well laid shoulders. Pleasing in body and topline. Pleasing oaction when settled. 2. Beech’s, Galvizach Luck of the Irish in Sandkarah. Litter brother to winner but not quite as sound in shoulder angulation. Much to like in head and eye. Good body and topline with good bone.

PD. (4). 1. Powell’s, Desaria Flash Gordon at Brookwell. A happy chappy just short of 12 months. Lovely expression and use of ears with good allround animation. Correct in quarters and body with good outline and a picture on the move. BP.

JD. (4). 1. Chambers and Rogerson’s, Druitz Corncracker for Teamspitz. This dog really caught my eye, only 13 months old but quite mature with good coat and a sound overall construction with good outline. Sound well ribbed body and good outline fore and aft. CC and BOS. 2. Rogerson’s, Galvizach Tye the Knot at Nosregor. Another to like of good size and outline. Now 16 months old. Good use of ears and well set in neck, sound body and quarters. Good coat. Just swinging a little in front on the move on the day. 3. Clayton’s, Studholme Wizard of Oz.

SYD. (3). 1. Purves’s, Bulabas Spirit in the Sky. A well constructed dog but one who failed to make the most of himself on the move. Correct in quarters with good length pf dribe and upperarm. A little heavy which I felt affects his hind drive on the day. 2. Foxs, Wyndlee Stillmoor Black Knight. Sound in body and steady in action. Has good ample in quarters, but would prefer more length in body. Not t his best in coat on the day. 3 Hickman’s, Creme de la Crem.

PGD. (4) 1 Heslop’s, Nixter Fyreblade. A black dog with good outline and carriage on the move. Well ribbed in body with well set neck and correct topline. Felt a little heavy in tail. 2. Roskell’s, Galvizach Phixons Flyer. Another black do, but not quite the size and substance of winner. Pleasing in head and expression. Coorrect balance of body and quarters, but moved a little close behind. 3. Beard’s, Wyndlee Ghost in my House.

LD. (4). 1. Hickman’s, Nosregor Cadberys Dream Boy at Kateandy. Cream dog with much to like in head and eye and set of ear. Good body and angles in quarters. Just let down on the day in coat. 2. Powell’s, Desaria Aurelius at Brookwell. A black dog with super outline and balance. Good angles and ribbing. Just didn;t give what I wanted on the move. 3. Connor’s, Galvizach Limited Edition.

OD. (8). 1. Rogerson’s, Ch. Nosregor Mystical Myth JW. A dog of good eye and balance with much to like allround. Sound in body and quarters. Good coat and presentation with good temperament. Really fits the bill and pushed hard for top honours. RCC. 2. Hewett’s, Runfold the Joker with Spellcast. A dog of clean lines with pleasing head and expression. Well set ear. Sound well proportioned quarters giving true action fore and aft. 3. Powell’s, Ch. Kuseley’s Kute Kevin.

MPB. (2). 1. Rogerson’s, Nosregor Lay Ur Live On Me. Only 6 and a half months old. A lovely young lady with good anumation and presentation. Keen and responsive. Feminin through and just needs maturity to complete the picture. One to watch.

PB. (3). 1. Powell’s, Desaria Fanny Ann at Vrookwell. Litter sister to winner. A puppy with many of the same attributes. Pleasing in outline with good coverage and sound construction and pleasing positive action. 2. Briggs’, Pennypot Enchantress. Though not quite as mature as winner a pleasing very feminine bitch at 11 and a half monts. Correct in angle with good topline and coat, but not quite as effective in action as winner.

JB. (6). 1. Gilbert-Baker’s, Wyndlee Ginnfltying to Chandera. A smart lady standing and moving. Loved her carriage and lines, head set on neck, withers, topline and tail. Sound in construction. 2. Beard’s, Wyndlee Finlandia. Litter sister and similar in many ways. Sound and feminine but not quite the carriage on the move. 3. Clayton’s, Studholme Shell Fire.

SYB. (4). 1. Beard’s, Wyndlee Finlandia. 2. Briggs’, Pennypot Enchantress. 3. Purves’s, Bulbas Truly Scrumtious.

PGB. (3). 1. Pooley’s, Wyndlee Fallen Angel from Azkaban. A bitch who didn;t give off her best on the day. Pleasing head with good use and set of ear. Correct angulation and ribbing. 2. Butler’s, Phions Miss Kizzi. Another bitch not at her best lacking in coat. Liked her head and carriage, but a little upright in shoulder causing jerky action.

LB. (3). 1. Rogerson and Dore’s, Kateandy Black Magic with Nosregor. This black bitch really caught my eye. Sound and full of quality. Good size and balance. Though coat not quite as pleasing so sound and true and positive in action. CC. 2. Purves’s, Rossfort Brocade at Bulbas. Another lacking in coat which really spoiled the picture. Lovely to go over and stands and moves well. Maybe another day.

OB. (9). 1. Wright’s, Tempore Rights Reserved at Orion (Imp). The winner I think the youngsest in the class had that final something. Feminine with good head, eye and ear. Correct in quarters, bone and feet with pleasing action. 2. Sanderson’s, Ch. Galvizach Fredrika via Danack. A bitch with pleasing outline with good use of ears and carriage of head and neck. Sound body and quarters with steady action. Pushed hard. 3. Hickman’s, Ch. Nosregor Cadberries Girl.
