PD (1) 1 L Mischief Maker. JD (2) 1 Hall’s Sobriety’s Grizzly Bear for Pufnstuf, brown, up to size but so much to like about him, masculine head with good wedge & oval eye, neat small ears, liked his neckline into sloped shoulders & correct placed elbows, straight forelegs, firm well knit body with balanced hindquarters, correct tailset & carriage, excellent coat & condition, moved really well from all angles; 2 Church’s Nixtev Wolfsbane with Claricheon, cream boy on the larger side, nice dark oval eyes, tad long in muzzle & ears could be smaller, carrying plenty of condition which affected his movement making him rather wide in front, full coat, moderate angulation to hindquarters, well set & carried tail. PGD (3) 1 S Grizzly Bear for P; 2 Hughes & Forrester’s Grizwold Muraco Moon over Candease, cream boy, correct size & made a decent outline, well knit body & balanced quarters, correct tailset & carriage, could be more positive in front but moved well going away & in profile; 3 Hearson’s Nixtev Uraxys at Jumasue. LD (5,2) 1 King’s Grizwold Loki, gold, lovely boy with so much to like, very nice typical head with dark oval eyes obliquely set, small triangular erect ears, so well balanced fore & aft, correct front, well bodied with short loin & moderate tuck up, well set & carried tail, effortless brisk action, adequate coat but would love to see him in full bloom; 2 Saich’s Zephon Akio at Lindcoly, wolf sable, almost square in shape & well balanced, good skull but rather fine in muzzle, eye a tad full, tidy ears, decent front, straight forelegs, firm body with short loin, correct tailset & carriage, moderate quarters, moved well fore & aft. Good coat; 3 Saich’s Hocombewood Hot Toddy for Lindcoly. OD (4) 1 Garbutt’s Nixtev Polarise, cream, new one to me.

VD (1) 1 Smith’s Wyndlee Ghostly Magic, cream, appealed in outline standing & moving, super head with dark oval eye, neck sits cleanly on sloping shoulders, strong well knit body, short well developed loin, firm quarters with well let down hocks, in excellent coat & condition, good pigment, free brisk action, surprised he doesn’t carry his title. RCC.

MPB (2,1) 1 Saich’s Zephon Dreams Made With Love at Lindcoly, cream, sweet baby with lots of quality, liked her head & expression with dark oval eyes, small erect ears, well made through her front, good body & well balanced quarters, correct tail & set, looks a little long at present but am sure she will grow on some more to balance, needs more bodyweight, moved really well from all angles, promising. PB (2) 1 Clewer’s Bullbo Over The Moon, cream, appealed for her overall size & balance being almost square, good wedge shaped head with dark eye, wish her ears were smaller, liked her neckline & front assembly, short loin, well balanced quarters, correct set tail & carriage, in excellent coat & condition, scored in movement from all angles which won her BP; 2 Z Dreams Made With Love at L.
