MITTEL I felt very honoured to have been asked to take over this judging appointment from Mr Dore, who, unfortunately, was taken into hospital. I wish him a speedy recovery. I found that the Mittels had greatly improved in movement and certainly the mouths have improved since last time I judged them. Overall quality, excellent.

PD(2) 1 Beard's Wyndlee Buffalo Soldier. Puppy of good size, neat ears, correct shaped eye, good mouth, good length of neck, moved very soundly, pleased to award him BP. Should have a good future. 2 Alfred Liubice Just William. Pleasing head, body a little long at this stage of development. Needs more training to properly assess movement.

JD (4) 1 Beard's Wyndlee Buffalo Soldier. 2 Mulholland's Zephon Nebula Rubiestar. Nice head and expression, good front and feet, compact body. Lost to 1 on movement. 3 Mulholland &Aikman's Zephon Ruby Jet Obsidian.

PGD(5, 1) 1 Corkin Nixtev Kinetic Under Fouranfass. Correct head, good stand off coat, well proportioned body, moved satisfactory. 2 Rogerson's Nosregor Kateandy Moogi-Dhoo. Correct square outline, not quite as good in head as 1, moved ok. 3 Mulholland &Aikman's Zephon Ruby Jet Obsidian.

Good expressive head, good dark eye but to be ideal would like to see ears a little higher set, lovely outline, good neck and shoulders, excellent body, lovely bone and feet, moved very well, pushed CC winner all the way. Res CC. 2 Rogerson's Nosregor Fernando. Pleasing head but I found to be a little longer cast than 1 but still a very nice dog, moved well. 3 Winser's Pennypot Enigma Of Lysebourne.

OD(7, 1) 1 Hewett's Ch Spellcast Talk To Me JW. Good head and expression, well set ears, well ribbed, good topline, tail carried well over back, covered the ground well.
