Class 84 MPD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 293 LEWIS, Mrs C Fallowfield Fellman – 7 mth tri who impressed with his excellent front construction, well shaped head framed by low set ears, leading into a lovely length of neck and correct shoulders, well let down chest. Good round bone and tight feet, well muscled hind quarters he used to his advantage on the move. Still some maturing to do but very promising and unlucky to meet the puppy bitch winner in such fine form, BPD.
2nd: 276 GOLDBERG, Mr & Mrs M W & J S Molesend Giorgio – 6 mth tri, another with a lot to like, lovely head and expression with dark pigment, well ribbed back and level topline that he held on the move just preferred the front assembly of first.

2nd: 279 HARDISTY, Ms S Blunderhall Jacks The Lad – 9 mth tri from a smaller mould than first but balanced throughout, pleasing head and sufficient neck, straight front with firm elbows, short coupled and good bend of stifle, moved well but preferred the extension of first .

1st: 275 GOLDBERG, Mr & Mrs M W & J S Rossut Villein at Molesend – 13 mth tri dog who presents a lovely outline when stacked, pleasing head, arched neck into a straight front, well off for bone, short coupled with a good bend of stifle, moved out well to win the class. I subsequently understand from the owner this win gave him the last points for his JW, congratulations.
2nd: 271 FIRTH, Mrs N C A Nictoney Intuition – 9 mth tri who was far more settled in this class to the previous one, he has a good head shape with well set leathers, excellent reach of neck, firm elbows, a little longer cast than first, moved with good width behind, just lost out on maturity but once settled should do well.

Class 88 LD (7 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 288 JONES, Miss C Clairdale Fusilier – 18 mth tri who isn’t instantly eye catching but is so well put together when you get your hands on him. I gave his father the RCC the last time I judged and many of the same comments apply. He excels in head with a lovely dark eye and the correct mild appealing expression, well set leathers and dark pigment. Arched neck flowing into good shoulders, deep chest giving plenty of heart room, well ribbed back and short coupled, correct topline and tailset, he moved out with precision and could not be denied the RCC in good competition.
2nd: 260 BEARD, Mr John KELLITCREED SWEENEY TOD – 20 mth tri, another with a lot to like, lovely shape and size to this dog, straight front with good bone and feet, compact and well ribbed, excellent topline and tailset, all held together on the move, just preferred the head of first but a close decision.

Class 89 OD (6 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 297 PARKER, Miss S & STEVENS, Mr G Ch Serenaker Armani – almost 3 yr tri who I have admired from the ringside since he was a puppy and did not disappoint. My hands flowed over him from the tip of his dark nose, over his beautifully shaped head, through his correct shoulders, excellent depth of chest and spring of rib, to his well muscled thighs and to the tip of his tail. He oozes quality throughout and did not disappoint on the move where he powered around the ring. My BCC pushed hard in the challenge but his attitude and ring presence meant he could not be denied both the DCC and BOB.
2nd: 287 JONES, Miss C Ch Newlin Preston To Clairdale JW – 6 yr tri, another with a well shaped head and dark pigment, good reach of neck, excellent bone and short pasterns, longer cast than first but lovely spring of rib, firm hind quarters which he used to his advantage on the move.

Class 91 SBD/B (2 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 291 JONES, Mrs L Molesend glamour – 6 mth tan & white bitch, pretty head but would prefer a fuller muzzle, pleasing neck and shoulders, good level topline and well carried stern, she’s going through the leggy stage and I’d prefer a bit more body on her but should mature well.

Class 93 PB (4 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 309 TANNER, Mrs C Felinoak Ffansi Nansi – 9 mth tri, it is hard to believe this puppy is only 9 months old, she was so together on the move. She has a beautiful head framed by long low set leathers, straight front with deep chest and firm elbows, well ribbed back, hocks well let down, excellent level topline, move true both going away and in profile, she definitely has a bright future ahead of her. BPB, BPIB and delighted to see her win the Puppy Group and finally go on to be awarded Reserve Best Puppy in Show, Congratulations!
2nd: 272 FIRTH, Mrs N C A Nictoney Gingerbread – 9 mth tan & white, unlucky to meet 1st in such good form, another pretty headed girl with dark eyes and pigment, arched neck and correct lay of shoulder, short coupled and well bent stifles, moved with drive, just lacked the maturity of 1st but should have a bright future.

Class 94 JB (7 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 282 HAVARD, Miss & Mrs L A & P J Dufosee Julianna Avec Annavah – 12mth tan & white who is just my type so much so my notes say “I wish she were mine”. She has the most beautiful slightly domed head, dark eyes which gave the most appealing expression and long leathers which framed her head perfectly, long arched neck leading into well laid shoulders, lovely round bone and tight feet, deep chest, good spring of rib, excellent hindquarters with well let down hocks. She held her beautiful outline on the move showing both reach and drive. My eye was constantly drawn back to her both in this class and then again in the challenge. The CC states “is of such outstanding merit as to be worthy of the title of Champion” and I truly believe she is. BCC.
2nd: 261 BINKS, Miss Anne E Tannahill Zola – 15 mth tri – what an honest girl this is, lovely shaped head with correct proportions, I really liked her correct front assembly with her legs well under and tight elbows, level topline, good bend of stifle, moved out well especially in profile.

2nd: 307 STUART, Mrs Sophia Kellitcreed danger digits – 20 mth tri – from a smaller mould to first and looked a little heavy today, pleasing head, sufficient neck, good straight front with round bone and tight feet, firm elbows, short coupled, well bent stifle and correct tailset, not the topline of first, moved out well.

2nd: 302 PHILPOTT, Mrs J L Charterwood Black Opal – 21 mth tri – another who really appealed, pretty head and mild expression, really liked her forequarters with legs well under and round bone, a little longer cast than first but gave her scope to move with purpose especially in profile, a close decision.

In the challenge her kennel mate put everything in to take top honours on the day but she couldn’t be denied the RBCC in strong competition.
