1st: Pickering’s M Ir Ch Lux Ch Int Ch Murray D'ered Luin Avec Picarb (Picardy Sheepdog). Liked his head and expression with a well set ear, well proportioned with a good a nice large nose. A defined stop midway between nose and occiput. A good clean forehand and straight forearm with slope to the pastern. Good bone and feet, correct body proportions with a well set tail and carriage on the move.  Well let down behind with correct rear leg placement. Super correct harsh coat with good dense undercoat. Lost out on rear movement for BD. 
 

PD/B (2)
1st: Prydderch’s Imp White Dream Team Irresistible Magic At Droyale. (White Swiss Shepherd Dog) A male versus female and 2nd lost out on maturity and movement.  Powerful boy with a good head with plenty of length, strong muzzle and correct proportions. Well set ear and using them to create that alert expression expected of this breed. Strong bone and feet. With a straight forearm. Well bodied with a good spring of rib, a well made rear with good angulation and this showed on the move covering the ground with ease. Good double coat and clean colour. 
2nd: Harris’ Whiteshire Amazing Arya. (White Swiss Shepherd Dog). A very feminine head, well balanced with a well set erect ear held forward, alert expression. Plenty of bone and good feet, straight forearm, well ribbed and correct body proportions. Slightly different type to 1st. Move well enough covering the ground.

1st: Henshaw’s Whitehemi's Brabham. (White Swiss Mountain Dog). A straight forearm with good bone. I’d like slightly tighter, arched toes brisket to the elbow with a well sprung rib and well back.

Another with a pleasing masculine head, well balanced and flat skull wedge shaped, good erect ear, another looking very keen and alert.
