Class 762 MPB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

Class 763 PB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1325 JERVIER, Ms Amber Elizabeth Grafmax Prettiest Star - 11 month old black/rust bitch, very like her brother.  Head ok although I would prefer more length.  Eye shape and colour good.  Enough depth to brisket standing on tight feet.  Handler tends to stand her too wide at the front but this is not so on the move.  Clean shoulder and good length of upper arm but slightly steep. Correct topline and tailset with strong hocks and correct rear angles.  Excellent mover from all angles.  BPB

Class 764 JB (4 Entries) Abs: 2

2nd: 1336 REVELL, Mrs Jennifer & HUNT, Mrs Rachel Virsco Va Va Voom - Another lovely bitch with better leg length but not quite the angles of 1.  Lovely head with good eye.  Feet ok and enough depth to brisket.  Well laid shoulder, upper arm of equal length but slightly steep.  Well angulated rear quarters.  Easy, sound mover.

Class 765 YB (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1332 MERRETT, Mr Patrick Korifey Sweet Child Of Mine JW - 21 month old black/rust bitch.  Excellent head although slightly too much stop.  Good depth to muzzle, eye shape and colour correct.  Good depth to brisket although somewhat narrow when viewed from the front.  Excellent shoulder, upper arm of equal length but slightly steep.  Nicely angulated rear quarters.  Moves well from all angles but would prefer more drive.
2nd: 1343 WHITE, Mrs Michelle & HUNT, Ms Rachel Virsco Velocity - this 14 month old black/rust bitch is more my type and it was a very tight decision.  I would like more leg and a stronger head but she still has level planes, correct stop, dark eye of good shape, however she needs more underjaw and length of muzzle.  Good depth to brisket, excellent shoulder but slightly steep upper arm.  Excellent rear quarters and sound mover all round.

Good depth to brisket.  Excellent topline and tailset and correct croup.  Well angulated rear quarters with straight, strong hocks.  Lovely sound mover from all angles, would just like a little more drive from behind and so in the challenge she had to give way to the open bitch for the CC but still very happy to award her the RCC.  
2nd: 1321 GALLAGHER, Miss P Izralight Jitterbug - 4 year old brown/rust bitch, another nice bitch.  Long head, enough underjaw, eye of good colour and shape.  Good front and forechest, correct depth to brisket with elbows lying close.  Excellent front and rear angles.  Topline ok, slight drop behind the whither.  Excellent mover once settled.

Class 769 OB (3 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 1330 BISLAND, Mrs Joan Ch Krieger's Highland Fling JW - A powerful and substantial 3 year old brown/rust bitch who still retains her femininity but loves to make her handler work.  Excellent head proportions with dark eyes of correct shape. Good depth to muzzle with tight lips and correct underjaw.  Correct front and forechest with elbows lying close to brisket and standing on tight feet.  Long neck into excellent shoulder with correct upper arm.  Slightly sloping topline and excellent tailset.  Rear quarters are perfectly balanced to the front with strong, straight hocks. She presents a super picture standing, everything in the right place and so well balanced.  A powerful mover which is excellent from all angles, once mum has her under control.  Delighted to award her the BCC and, by the slightest of margins, BOB over the super male.  Pleased to see her take Group 3 in strong company.
