JD(2)  1st Rogerson's Cadasaro Georgie With Nosregor what a promising start to the day with this very promising young cream fellow.  I liked his head shape, ample width ,enough stop and correct muzzle length.  Such dark expressive eyes and so well coated.  He is compact in body and moved out with a brisk even stride.  Should finish well. 2nd Monks' Rozibon Adventure Begins this b/t chap is out of a smaller mould and was very taut to go over on the table, with that worried look dogs can have when unsure. He was in excellent coat but needs lots of practise and schooling as when moving he was pulling to one side. I'm sure once relaxed he looks a different dog.

PGD (3)  Rogerson's Nosregor Sticking Around  beautifully coated and presented white.  I liked his head shape, that air of quality from such dark, well shaped eyes and neat ears. Stacked he takes the eye, being compact and shapely, but regrettably his action told against him as he pulls to one side much of the time. 2nd Wilson's Izlou Everyday I'm Truffling at Flytesway another who spoiled his chances by misbehaving when moving.  The same thing..pulling to one side!!   He is out of a smaller mould than the winner with an appealing expression and a very good neck and head carriage on the stack.  Well coated and I am sure will have better days.3rd Taylor's Yispitza's Lullaby Of Woe

LD(2)  1st Smith's Jansanlais Night Fever this white dog was immaculately presented, oozes quality in head and expression. He just needs to settle on the move to gain his crown.  Another pulling to one side. My notes say glamorous, stunning coat presentation CH potential?  In this form surely his title is not far off if he behaves!   2nd  Rogerson's Nosregor In A Land Of Myth another which pulls to one side on the move!! Smaller all through than the winner, but has much appeal on the stack. His brown jacket was well prepared and on the stack he uses that good arched neck to advantage. His head handles well and he has a charming expression.

OD(3) 1st CC & BOB Francis & Pearce's Kelham Kind Hearted Longsdale this white  chap is so very handsome, fully coated, impeccable presentation, shows his head off and is so very glamorous. I liked him enormously and if he can be persuaded to be less wayward than he can be at times when moving, his title will be a formality & he would be a serious Group contender. 2nd & RCC Barnes & King's Ch Izlou Shiver Me co-operates so well with his handler.This is a charming self black dog, immaculate in coat and very much the showman. I liked his construction, well set and carried tail and so sound. I just edged the winner in  better length in muzzle. But he is a worthy titleholder.  3rd   Chapman's Kitsune Notorious

JB(2/1) 1st Purves' Kitsune Cream Fudge this is a most attractive rich golden cream colour, spotless in presentation and such a co-operative showgirl. Such a pretty head and expression, just about enough neck, well ribbed and sufficient hind angulation. Her profile action is smooth and even striding, just a tad close in hock when going away.

PGB(1)  1st Barnes & King's Izlou The Truffle Maker such a sweet headed little black number, ultra feminine expression, good skull, foreface a tad short for me, loved her eyes and that pert expression and she uses her ears non stop. Coat beautifully presented. But she was another which pulled to one side on the up and down....why?!! 

LB(2)  1st Moir's Jansanlais Rave JW this cream has much to like, shapely, excellent neck, topline and tailset, presented in excellent jacket.  She has a good head and is so pretty in expression.  Needs to fill out her frame a bit more and she was another which played up on the grass when moving. 2nd Fitton's Cassiopaia at Shelayne  a size smaller but very chic in expression, eyes sparkling and ready for anything!  She is well constructed, is compact in length/height proportions, was in super jacket but she was throwing her elbows out when action fore viewed. Perhaps the grass.

OB(3)   Headed by two beautiful bitches which were hard to seperate. Both flawless in presentation, beautifully headed and I loved them equally.  My brief notes say "Two Champions..stunning in every way, immaculately coated, in a  photo finish the 1st that tad tighter in front action.  What a joy to judge this quality." 1st & CC Francis & Pearce's Ch Longsdale Miss  Mussell 2nd & Res CC Barnes & King's Kitsune The Lioness at Ixlou  3rd Monks' Moons Rocks Cross My Heart at Rozibon

VB(1)  1st Drechsler's Longsdale's New Addition this young faced cream was full of her own self importance and is fearless. 7 years young, nicely headed, so alive in expression, so well coated and she still moves around the ring like a well honed athlete.  I bet she is a delight to live with.
