P (3,2) 1 Orr's Sobriety Element of Freedom. Cream in good coat who is well off for bone and in excellent condition. Good mouth and dark eyes. His earset is good. Firm topline and correct tail carriage. Good length in legs and nice feet. Just preferred hind movement of MPD. Res BPD.
PG (7,3) 1 Beard's Wyndlee Huggy Bear. Densley coated dark chocolate of ideal size who has good bone, legs and feet. Balanced head with a good mouth, eye colour and ear set. Firm topline and correct high tail carriage. Moved well enough. 2 Depper's Abbicher Black Diamond. Very nice headed dog who has dark eyes and well set ears, giving a sweet yet masculine expression.  Nice make and shape with good bone and leg length. Correct high set tail carriage. Moved well enough. 3 Pooley's Wyndlee Short N Sweet at Azkaban.
L (5,3) 1 Rogerson and Quayle's Nosregor Kateandy Creggan Bay. This brown stood out on showmanship here. Very well balanced throughout with a super head and expression. He has a firm topline with a high set tail and correct leg length and beautiful cat feet. Although not in full coat he was so well presented. Movement in profile was nice to watch but he still needs time to fill out in chest and so moved very close face on. Almost fitting my interpretation of the standard. 2 Williams' Druitz Black Prince. Ideally sized and so well balanced all through with good bone, leg length and feet. His front and rear assembly is good and he moved well. Just preferred the eye shape and set of the winner.
O (6,2) 1 Rogerson's Nosregor Kateandy Moogie-Doo. Ideally sized brown in super coat and condition. So well balanced with real spitzy head and outlook. Firm topline with high set tail. Good length of leg and deep chest with slight tuck up. Super cat feet. He moved extremely well for me, straining at the lead and his front movement went to pot. Recently becoming a deserved Champion, well done. Best Dog and BOB. 2 Hewett's Ch Spellcast Talk to Me JW. Black of sheer quality. Ideal size and construction with masculine outlook. Super head and expression with dark eyes and correctly sized and set ears. Slightly weepy eyes on the day and not in the condition of the winner, but nonetheless a worthy Champion. Res BD. 3 Hewett's Ch Spellcast Secret and Lies. JW.

She has an eyecatching shape ith a firm topline and well carried high tail set and good legs and feet. he moves very well and is a great showlady. 2 Clayton's Studholme Kiss An Tell. 8 and a half years young. Cream who is of ideal size. Nice head and expression but lacks pigment at the moment. Good topline and tail carriage with enough length to leg. A good show lady but have seem her move better.
J (4,2)  1 King's Druitz Cariad Bach of Grizwold. Very sound orange who is of ideal make and shape. So feminine in outlook and has a sweet yet intelligent expression with blending eye colour and correct ear carriage.
