1st: 520 HALL, Miss M D & BELL, Mrs H M & ELLIS, Mrs S M Shenedene The Gambler With Vallena  BP

Super gold/white parti, perfect for size and a lovely shape. Very pleasing head and expression with dark oval eye, very good pigmentation, good mouth and underjaw. Well arched neck, good depth of chest for his age, level topline, good ribcage and strong loin, and well carried tail, He is really nicely angulated at both ends so strode out well with good reach in front and drive from behind.

2nd: 502 ADAM-SLOMKOWSKI, Mrs Marzena Frank Dreamed A Dream At Skylax (Imp Pol)

Another boy who is nice for size and balance with good head proportions, a dark well placed eye, good underjaw and pigmentation. Enough neck, and well bodied with level topline and correct tail set, his forehand and hind angulation is balanced so he moved soundly, but not with the profile action of 1st.

1st: 560 WALKER, Mr P J & HATTRELL, Mrs Sarah Petwalk He's A Cracker At Khinjan CC

Gave this boy 1st in a puppy class 3 years ago and delighted to see he has fulfilled his early promise. Pleasing head with dark well shaped eye, correct stop, good mouth and chin, and good pigmentation, all combining to give that typical Lhasa expression.  Really liked his shape and balance with a beautiful well arched neck, level topline, good tail set, excellent front and well angulated hindquarters which showed in his free ground covering action. Shown in superb condition. Pleased to see him shortlisted in the group.

2nd: 510 CONNETT, Mr L & CLUTTERBUCK, Mrs V Kutani Daredevil

Nicely balanced cream, another with a very pleasing outline. Liked his expression with good balance of skull to muzzle, good mouth and underjaw, correct eye shape but just preferred the darker eye of 1st.  He too has a good reach of neck and is nicely angulated at both ends with a straight front, level topline and high tail set. He moved well from all angles.

1st: 550 SCHUCKARDT, Miss Lina & SCHUCKARDT, Mrs Elizabeth Timazinti's Peppermint At Frenchlands Sh.CM ShCEx

Hard to split these two but 1st was more positive on the move. Pale gold/white parti with a very pleasing head and expression with a dark oval eye, good pigmentation, good underjaw. Liked his shape and size, strong well arched neck, straight front, good depth of chest, level topline, good tail set, and well angulated and muscled hindquarters. Shown in excellent condition.

2nd: 561 WATTS, Mrs I Ch Timazinti Britskii At Kenida

Close up, very good breed type, again lovely shape and size with a delightful expression. Good reach of neck, well angulated forequarters complemented by sound rear construction, though would like more muscle, level topline and good tail set.

Cream with black tips. Nicely balanced and nice for size for her age. Sweet head with a pretty expression, good balance of skull to muzzle, dark oval eye, good mouth and underjaw. Pleasing outline with good reach of neck, straight front, level topline, good tail set, well angulated hindquarters. Moved very well.

2nd: 532 LAWSON, Miss Karra Modarra's Versace

Very feminine girl, similar in type to 1st, again nicely balanced with a pleasing head. Liked her outline with good reach of neck, level topline and well set and carried tail. She was only at her 2nd show and playing her handler up somewhat, but she did enough on the move to see she was sound and deserved this placing.

1st: 521 HALL, Miss M D & WILTSHIRE, Miss Laura Shenedene Two Faced With Thwaitlake

Stylish gold/white parti, litter sister to puppy dog winner, and is a feminine version of him. So well balanced and put together, nice for shape and size with a good reach of neck, level topline and good tail set.  She has a very sweet head and expression with good balance of skull to muzzle, medium stop, dark oval eye, good bite and underjaw. Moved true coming and going and with good reach and drive in profile.

2nd: 546 ROBERTS, Ms S Marbledale I've Got Sass

Heavily coated black, quite a different type, but appealed for her shape and really sound construction. Pretty head of correct proportions, dark eye, good mouth and underjaw. Enough neck, level topline and good tail set, very well angulated and moved accordingly.

1st: 556 THOMPSON, Mrs Kirsty & THOMPSON, Mr David Toynbee Sorella Bella

Gold, lacking head furnishings, but she has a pleasing expression with good balance of skull to muzzle, dark oval eye, good bite and underjaw.  She has enough neck, balanced angulations, level topline, good tail set, and well muscled hindquarters, and she moved true from all angles.

2nd: 553 TAYLOR, Mr S & JOHNSON, Mr James Wrenwrox Royal Gem Avec Sifrason

Eye catching black who pleased for her shape, size and elegance. Attractive head of good pattern, dark eye, good mouth and underjaw.  She is soundly constructed with a good reach of neck, good body and ribcage, level topline and good tail set and carriage. Moved OK but not as freely as 1st .

1st: 534 LOCK, Mr & Mrs DJ Littondale Lyrabelle

Cream of lovely type and balance. Ultra feminine with pleasing head shape, good balance of skull to muzzle, dark oval eye, good underjaw, good pigmentation. Loved her outline with well arched neck of good length, straight front with good bone, level topline, well ribbed back, strong loin, good tail set, very well angulated hindquarters. Moved with purpose, I liked her a lot.

2nd: 543 RITCHIE, Mrs G Cheolview Soul Sister

Class 201 LB (9 Entries) Abs: 4
1st: 551 SCHUCKARDT, Miss Lina & SCHUCKARDT, Mrs Elizabeth Kutani Black Opal At Frenchlands JW

Black, not a glamour girl but all quality and so sound on the move. She pleased me for her breed type, shape, size and overall balance. Her head is of correct shape and proportions, dark well shaped eye, good mouth and underjaw, and she has a charming expression. Strong well arched neck, straight front, excellent angulation, level topline, good tail set and carriage. Presented in good coat and condition.

2nd: 542 POOLE, Mr Terence & POOLE, Mrs Sheila & ROBERTS, M Domensa Perfect Timing

Close up, and I was really splitting hairs between these two, she presented a pleasing picture on the stack but 1st had the better tail carriage on the move. Similar remarks apply in terms of head and expression although this girl is as blonde as the other is dark!  Another with a good reach of well arched neck, both girls excelled in length of upper arm which enabled them to move freely with good forward reach. Straight front, level topline and high set tail, well angulated and muscled hindquarters.  I note I gave her dam a RCC previously and I hope she will go on to do as well as her mother.

Class 202 OB (5 Entries) Abs: 2
Difficult decision between these two. 

1st: 509 CONNETT, Mr L Corroll's To Hot To Handle CC

Stylish cream who stood out for her shape and breed type. Was amazed to hear she has a 4 month old litter at home, she was in immaculate coat and condition, a credit to her owner.  Loved her head and expression, with correct balance of skull to muzzle, medium stop, dark oval eyes, good mouth and underjaw. Super neck, topline and tail set, and well constructed throughout, her movement was free and ground covering. Litter sister to my dog RCC winner and they are a well matched pair.

2nd: 519 HALL, Miss M D Ch Shenedene Copy And Paste RCC

Stunning gold girl with all the same attributes as 1st.  Classic head properties, and she has an air of arrogance that demands one’s attention. Super shape, well arched neck, well laid shoulders and length of upper arm, strong hindquarters, level topline, correct tail set and carriage. She too provided an object lesson in movement, free and jaunty as the standard asks for. A worthy champion, at 22 months I felt she just lacked the maturity of 1st and I think her best is yet to come.

Feminine gold who pleased for her shape and balance. Charming expression with dark oval eye, good dentition and chin, and dark pigmentation. She is well made with a good reach of neck and layback of shoulders, level topline, correct tail set, and well angulated hindquarters. She was very sound on the  move and shown in excellent coat and condition.
