Special Vulnerable Native Breeds Stakes Day 1

1st: JERRETT, Mrs Debra Coldelee Eternal Sunshine. Sable and White Smooth Collie who presented a very clean and balanced outline in profile. Pleasing head and a delightful expression. In super condition. Moved out on the right track and kept her outline. She is good for size and retains a look of femininity. Has a future I’m sure.
2nd: 1936 SMITH, Mrs T Ceranda Gower Diamond. Welsh Corgi (Cardigan) who, although young, has the most delightful expression and is typical in outline and already all of a piece. In super condition, she moved out well. Kept her topline and had an ease of stride.

Special Vulnerable Native Breeds Stakes Day 2

1st: HAFFENDEN, Mrs Hazel & WOOD, Mr Jack Nasabe Play The Game. 7 month old ETT baby and what a prospect. She has most delightful head and expression and superb candle flame ears.  Fabulous for size and type, she has the correct shape and is sound on the move with the desired extended trot. In superb condition with coat and skin of exceptional quality. I’m sure she has a title in front of her and we will be hearing a lot more of her.
2nd: STEWART, Mr R G & Mrs K M Monleon Made By Magic for Marchog. Blenheim Charlie of type and decent size. I liked his head and expression and balance in body, being cobby and well ribbed. Sound on the out and back and looks decent in profile. Super coat, well presented.
3rd: SMITH, Mr Stephen & SMITH, Mrs Gillian JUSTACHARMA SO MAGIC J W

Special Vulnerable Native Breeds Stakes Day 3

1st: 5165 CLARK, Miss S & HAYDEN, Mrs L Farlap Qui Martha (Ai). Delightful Bloodhound full of type and the most beautifully noble head, expression and eyes. On the move she is as sound as a pound and this has to be rewarded in this breed. In first class condition, she could do a days work with ease. I thought she was delightful.
