                           BRIGHTER BIRMINGHAM YEARLING STAKES

D1  AV Working or Pastoral 

 DOG:1st  Blake's Corydon Christopher  s/w rough collie of much promise.  Such a well balanced head, lovely eyes and expression aided by neat, well set ears. He is a good wither height, well ribbed and has such a good croup shape. In excellent coat he moved around the ring with reach and drive. 2nd Wooley's Aratika Dust From A Distant Sun this Beardie is rather a nice example of the breed.  Nice headpiece, lovely expression, sufficient neck with good head carriage and   nicely balanced profile action.  In good coat, just needs to carry a shade more bodyweight 3rd Atkins & Cunningham's Qimugta Hendricks

BITCH:  1st Clifton's Ch. Joseter Morgan Plus Four what a lovely example of the Cardigan Corgi this young brindle bitch is. Delightful headpiece with super ears and such a winning expression.  Carries her head so regally and keeps her outline as she circles the ring with such a positive profile action. Never gives up responding to her handler which adds to her charm. 2nd  Kenyon & Ward's Charibere Reason To Dream At Kaianna JW  this is such a good example of the PMD breed and she was so unlucky to meet the winner in top form.She is a bit at the raw and gangly stage as yet but the essentials are there. Her topline and head carriage are correct, she has ample substance in weight of bone and was spotless in coat. Just needs time. 3rd May's Sengala Indiana Charm.

                     BETTY FLAVELL BRIGHTER BIRMINGHAM OPEN STAKES

OD(16)  1st Hopkins Ch. Holy Archie Oreansnow (Imp Cze)  a quite disarming Samoyed with an air of something special. What a quality head and expression, lovely arched neck, so well ribbed and amply weighted bone. In super coat and moved around with a light, ground covering stride. 2nd Haslam's Ch Meitza Dark N'Debonair   this lovely tricolour is an OAP but looks and moves like something half that age.  Immaculate in coat and bodyweight, delightful head and expression and he never gave up being alert. 3rd Austin & Zolakova's Ch/Ir Ch Huntly Forged In Steel For Hysteps JW

OB(14)  1st Flower's Ch Brackmore Butterfingers  a top quality smooth collie and in this breed coat cannot hide anything!!  Quality head piece, super expression and ever so alert  in using her ears to aid her cause.  Shapely, fit as a flea to go over and moved around the ring with a light, ground covering stride.   A very worthy titleholder. 2nd Collinson & Norman's Ch Nikara Secret Love another Samoyed and another of much style and charm.  Stunning head and expression, shapely on the stack and confirms her good construction with such a light, free striding action.  3rd Kellett & Burrows' Fostebrie Exotique Noir of Kellbry JE/Sh.CM
