1st: 516 TAYLOR, Mrs Christine Bribiba's Midnight Special, lots to like this black has good coat & is moved correctly to see a sound free action, has strength of jaw & good skull, well set neck & stands with elbows well under her deep chest, just needs to be watched as at times looked to be stood wide in front but when handling she is not, excellent body & sound in rear, tail well set but would prefer less curl, well presented coat of good texture, has excellent strong feet. 
2nd: 501 LITTLEFAIR, Miss J M Goldswift Inyourdreams a lot more mature than 1 but could not match in movement, pleasing head shape with rose shaped ears well set, strong neck, well bodied & has good bone substance, correct coat.

2nd: 515 TAYLOR, Mrs Christine Bribiba's Calamity Jane, still rather a lot of maturing to do but shows promise as she is both sound and pleasing in shape, a nice bitch to go over and has a feminine head with strength in jaw & good dentition, lovely body shape & just needs to fill out, well set tail of correct length, has good feet, moved sound just needs a little more verve to her advantage.

Class 259 OB (5 Entries) Abs: 3 Two quality bitches.
1st: 505 SHEPPARD, Mrs Caroline & SHEPPARD, Dr Clive Ch Gaelmarque Treasured by Goldswift JW one I did well for as a youngster and just gets better with age & maturity. Her movement is memorable and educational, delighted even further watching her in the group where she excelled herself and took group 4 under well respected Hound Specialist in good competition. Has excellent head proportions, correct dark eye & well placed ears, has strength in her neck which flows into a well made shoulder with correct upper arm, she stands herself well both front & back, correct ribbing, good depth of chest & well held elbows, correct feet, presented muscular with correct textured coat & not over done in any way. A dog that is a joy to judge.
2nd: 500 HEATHER, Miss W Ch Whiteorchard Ad Astra JW slightly smaller than 1 but still very pleasing for balance, her profile is a delight, hands just flow over her & everything is in proportion, well put down with correct coat, feminine all through, another sound free flowing mover just not the ground cover of 1, easy to see she has her well deserved title. Most lovely head with correct eye & ear.
