Best Special Beginner :

Class 753 PD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1388 HOOD, Ms S Django Alpha Nero With Arathorn.  Provided a good start to my judging of the breed as he is typical and very smart on the move.  Decent breadth of skull, dark expressive eyes and well carried ears.  Good body for age.  Harsh coat. 

Class 754 JD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1390 MCLACHLAN, Miss L&J & MORRISON, Miss Kristin Franhowil Its All Or Nothing.  Best Puppy.  Beautifully balanced with a fairly compact, pear shaped body.  Keen alert expression, dark eyes, good breadth and depth of chest.  Good coat, mane and frill developing nicely. Very good profile action.

Class 757 OD (3 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 1389 MCLACHLAN, Miss L&J & MORRISON, Miss Kristin Fullmoon How Do You Like Me Now (Holland Cup Winner) CC and BOB. Cobby, with a sharp alert expression. Lovely dark eyes. Strong neck and good shoulders, legs well under the body and he is well ribbed and shapely with typical lighter hindquarters.  Good mane, frill and culottes.  Impressed on the move with his easy, true action. I gather today’s win gives him his title, congratulations.
2nd: 1385 CHEATHAM, Mrs L A & CHEATHAM, MR A Ch Schipdale A Kind Of Magic ShCEx.  Reserve CC. Another high quality dog.  Good skull and ears. Very nicely balanced and he is true both out and back with a pleasing profile action.  Well ribbed, cobby body. 

Class 758 VD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1386 COLLIER, Mrs Louise Ch Stoneyburn Banna.  Best Veteran. Shapely and typical with a very good coat with a clearly defined cape.  Attractive head and keen, foxy expression.  In excellent condition. Sound and true on the move.

Class 766 VB (4 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 1394 REED, Mrs J & Miss K Stoneyburn Maia.  CC.  Fairly broad skull with good ears and lovely dark eyes.  Excellent forehand with legs well under the body and small feet.  Cobby body, sound and steady on the move.

2nd: 1393 REED, Mrs J & Miss K Stoneyburn Arbeia.  Reserve CC.  Litter sister to the winner.  She looks a little more matronly than Maia and is slightly lighter in eye.  This doesn’t detract for her expression.  Good hard coat.  Well bodied with typical cut up.  Moved well with a brisk, easy action.
