Critique

MPD (1) 1 Pearce & Francis' Longsdale's Now Or Never. BP PG2. Mature 7 month old cream, extremely confident for one so young, lovely bone, very sound on the move and very promising certainly one to watch. 

PD (3) 1 Folkes' Spellcast Love Talk At Dacfolke. Black, nice type, lovely head eye and expression, good outline, excellent tailset, front movement needs to tighten as he's out a bit at the elbows. 2 Durham's Spellcast Hear Your Talk (ai). Litter brother to first, top size but nice type, good bone, movement okay but a little unsettled by his surroundings. 3 Saich's Lindcoly Black Inkspot. 

JD (1) 1 Bennett's Melitabe Super Troupery. Brown who was totally out of coat therefore nothing was hidden. Well made, moved soundly, nice head eye and expression with good tailset. 

PGD (2) 1 Mountain's Hocombewood Jailhouse Roc. Nice chocolate dog, sired by my DCC winner, nice size and shape, good head proportions, neat feet, moved well. 2 Saich's Lindcoly Blue Moon. Black dog, a bit long in muzzle, would insist on jumping around so difficult to see outline, didn't have the desired catlike feet. 

LD (5, 2) 1 King's Gronw October Moon Over Grizwold. Nice neat dark shaded gold, good size with just enough bone, excellent tailset moved very well, head was correct proportions. 2 Barnes & King's Spellcast Talk With Me By Izlou. Pale gold who was a bit too tall on the hock, feet could also be neater, movement was ok. 3 Smith's  Sobriety Suited And Booted. 

OD (5, 2) 1 Rogerson & Mulholland's Fisherbloom Black Shamen With Nosregor. Res DCC. Nice dark shaded gold at the smaller end of the scale, neat feet, moved soundly, good head proportions, with dark eye giving the desired expression. 2 Saich's Lindcoly The One An Only. Very attractive parti-coloured who I liked very much however he was being moved too quickly which made him throw his legs all over the place. I did ask the handler on a couple of occasions to move more slowly but it was still at the same pace. 3 Hall's Sobriety's Grizzly Bear For Pufnstuf JW. 

VD (1) 1 Saich's Hocombewood Hot Toddy For Lindcoly. Dog CC, was very taken by this dog, a good honest example of the breed, in lovely coat and condition he covered the ground briskly with a correctly carried tail, lovely outline, good bone, neat ears, most unusual and attractive brown sable. Surprised he doesn't carry Champion in front on his name. 

MPB (1) 1 Gardner's Daraydala Black Pearl. A sweet black bitch who is nearly 7 months old. A bit overawed by what was going on but did settle down eventually enough for me to see her move. A shade long in the loin. 

PB (2) 1 Hewett's Spellcast Talking Point (ai). Just coming up to 12 months old a black and totally out of coat so nothing to hide, however, I could see her good square outline, nicely proportioned head, good length of neck, neat feet, moved well enough. 2 Saich's Nixtev Brazen For Lindcoly. Pretty cream who needs some ring training, she never stood still so a bit difficult to assess, pretty head but a shade long in body. 

JB (3) Three nice typy black bitches very little separated them, just preferred the shoulder placement of the winner. 1 Saich's Lindcoly Love Affair. excitable but did enough to show me that she could move well. Nice shaped dark eyes, good tailset. 2 Barnes & King's Izlou Walnut Forget Me JW. Very much the same remarks as my winner just a bit more upright in shoulder. 3 Drew's Izlou Peanut Passion. 

PGB (3, 1) 1 Rogerson's Nosregor Unforgettable. Pretty pale gold, effortless mover, not in full coat but showing excellent outline, would be interesting to see her once she's back in coat. 2 Drechsler's Longdale's New Addition. Longer cast, hind movement not as positive as the winner, does not have the desired cat-like feet. 

LB (2, 1) 1 Saich's Lindcoly Wishing On A Star. Shaded gold bitch, at the smaller end of the scale, good body proportions giving the desired outline, good bone, moved very well, neat feet, really full of herself. 

OB (7, 1) 1 Pearce & Francis' Kelham Love And Romance With Longsdale. BCC & BOB. Exquisite bitch, out of the same mould as my klein BOB only the next size up. She was exactly what I was looking for, lovely square outline, good length of neck, moved briskly and effortlessly around the ring. 2 Moir & Moir's Ch Jansanleis Envy JW. Another very nice bitch, daughter of my Reserve BCC winner just preferred the neck length of my winner. 3 Andrew's Dagsljus Against All Odds At Claran. 

VB (2) 1 Moir & Moir's Ch Jansanleis Mayhem JW. Res BCC. 8 year old cream biitch, beautiful outline, excellent movement, wonderful example of the breed who is passing on her qualities to her offspring. 2 King's Druitz Cariad Bach Of Grizwold ShCM. 9 year old gold bitch who moved very well however when standing I preferred the neck length of my winner so giving the desired outline.
