Class 999 VD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2475 MCCULLOUGH, Mrs M & MCCULLOUGH, Mr P Sh Ch Ger VDH Ch Kimmax Kurious George Bs'17 Bs'18.  Best Veteran and Dog CC.  A dog I have admired before and he is certainly one that will always command attention.  Powerful and masculine.  Well balanced with a good skull, kind expression, good neck and shoulders.  Well boned.  Good depth of chest.  Some breadth over the loin and hips. Moved out well with a true, sound, driving action. 

Class 1000 PD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2491 COX, Mr Desmond Ovetil Troseberry.  Best Puppy.  Nicely balanced and very typey.  Good head proportions, good eyebrows and moderate beard.  Pleasing oval eyes. Well ribbed for age with good depth of chest.  Strong, well angulated hindquarters. Still a little uncollected on the move but he is sound and has some drive.  Shown in a good jacket.  

Class 1001 JD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2473 LOVATT, Mrs Debbie & LOVATT, Mr Paul & GETTINGS, M Beechillawn Break The Mould (ikc).  Scored here with his strong, driving hind action.  Good head proportions, kind expression, good furnishings.  Good forehand with strong bone and decent feet.  Good body and ribs extend well back.  His front action was a little untidy coming back to me but he was quite exuberant.  Very promising.
2nd: 2493 TURNBULL, Mrs E & TURNBULL, Mr G D & TURNBULL, Mis Glenquin The Colonel At Elagram.  Masculine and workmanlike with a very pleasing head and expression. Deep chest, well sprung ribs and has some strength over the loins.  A shade uncollected on the move today but sound and I think he too, has promise for the future.  
3rd: 2468 JOHNSTON, Mr Paul & JOHNSTON, Mrs Linda & JOHNSTON Glenquin The General

Class 1002 PGD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2482 TOYNEBEE-SMITH, Ms Jemma Bareve Bronski Beat.  Very typical head with kind expression.  Clean, lengthy neck and good forehand with decent bone and compact, well padded feet which I particularly admired.  Sound, free moving and with some drive from the well muscled hindquarters.
2nd: 2464 GEARY, Mr Robert & GEARY, Mrs Amanda & WILKINS, Mi Wesley Vom Alte Wald At Germanus (imp Hun).  Masculine and workmanlike, pleasing eyers, good depth of chest and ribs extend well back.  Slight slope to topline and good tailset.  Sound on the move.

2nd: 2458 BLANCO, Dr Elisa & OSBORNE, Dr David Lux Vom Maibrook (Imp Ger) (Imp) Deu.  Masculine and in first class muscular condition.  Very pleasing balance with good ribbing which extends well back.  Moved out with plenty of drive, his front action was just a shade untidy.  Harsh jacket and he does show to best advantage.
