Class 1082 PGD (3 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 1914 ANDISON, Miss Louise Clentry Tiger Feet.  Stood alone but I thought he was a good prospect, particularly impressive on the move with a lovely free action and his excellent temperament was apparent for all to see.  Decent forehand with well-developed forechest, good ribbing and excellent topline and tailset. Shown in excellent condition.

 

Class 1083 LD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1925 JENNINGS, Mrs J Marvales's Manifesto At Jenivon. Reserve CC. A very handsome exhibit with good deportment.  Soundly made all through with pleasing forehand, ample forechest, good body and ribbing with some strength over the loin.  Moved well with an easy, fluid action. 
2nd: 1918 CHAUHAN, Dr M Neithund Angus At Raajput.  He too pleased me on the move, good head with dark eyes and strong jaw.  Clean neck and shoulders, ribs extend well back.
3rd: 1921 GRAHAM, Mrs S L A Marvale Chancellor At Ravold JW

Class 1084 OD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1941 WILLIAMS & MOES, Mrs & Mr R & C J Ch Cwmdarhian Super Mario.  CC & BOB. Very classy – in my notes I wrote “the complete package!”.  Presets a lo ely outline on the table and he doesn’t disappoint on the move.  Grand head and expression, clean lengthy neck and ample forechest.  Ribs extend well back to a strong loin.  Well angulated, muscular hindquarters.
2nd: 1916 BINKS, Miss Anne E Cedavoch Ocean Storm.  Masculine but not coarse.  A sound moving, well-made dog, well ribbed with strong loin and good topline. Moved well. 
3rd: 1930 MCNAUGHTON, Ms Lesley Cedavoch Rohan

Class 1090 PGB (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1915 BALFOUR, Mrs Joanna & BALFOUR, Mr Murray Clentry Mango Passion.  Another good moving exhibit from the kennel.  Attractive head and expression with strong jaw.  Good forehand.  Handles well. Strong, muscular hindquarters. I was pleased to learn that she later won the Special Beginners Group.
2nd: 1926 KAY, Mrs L A A Lochlip Some Like It Hot. Feminine and appeals for type and balance.  Clean neck of good length. Decent forehand.  Well ribbed.  
3rd: 1939 TOMLINSON, Mrs S E Melisdax Memories Of May

Class 1091 LB (9 Entries) Abs: 3
1st: 1912 ANDISON, Miss Louise Clentry Crunchy Carrot.  CC.  I was very taken with this lovely bitch. Feminine but strong with a good neck, well boned with good feet and ample forechest. Sternum and ribs extend well back and she has a short, strong loin.  Nicely rounded hindquarters.  Very easy on the move with a good stride and plenty of drive.  I gather this was her second CC.
2nd: 1929 MCNAUGHTON, Ms Lesley Cedavoch Lothlorien.  Very soundly made and pleasing to handle.  Attractive head and expression.  Typey and well balanced with good ground clearance.  Not quite the drive from the rear of the winner.

Class 1092 OB (6 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1922 HANNEY-MITCHELL, Mrs F Ch Bronia Solar Flare. Reserve CC. Absolutely typical and she excelled on the move with an easy, flowing, driving action.  Excellent forehand, good bone and pleasing feet.  Good body and loin.  
2nd: 1917 CHAUHAN, Dr M Ch Adnerbs Take A Chance On Me At Raajput.  Another high quality exhibit, beautifully balanced with adequate ground clearance, handles well and shows and moves to best advantage.  Just not quite the youthful exuberance of the winner.
3rd: 1932 REYNOLDS, Ms Caroline Glenariff Yes Ma'am
