 PGD (1) 
 1. Minton’s, Calabrinda Apollo . h/l boy nearly 2 years, he is quite well balanced in profile, decent for size and type. His chest could perhaps be a little deeper to give a more shapely outline. Pleasing head with broad skull, well placed ears and very dark eyes. He has sound shoulders, level topline and well made hindquarters. Lovely fine grain skin. Moved soundly enough would just like a little more animation and was a touch unsure of himself today in the noisy hall.

Well balanced shapely outline, with an attractive head, broad skull, well placed ears and dark almond eyes. Good legs and hare feet.

Handsome well balanced head, using his ears to advantage. He has such an elegant outline and has style and presence in abundance. He has a shapely body outline, long neck with nice crest leading into long well laid shoulders, level topline and well made and well muscled hindquarters. Powers around the ring covering the ground with ease .DCC. Close up in the BOB challenge, just felt he was moving just a little too enthusiastically and rushing a bit so the nod went to the bitch.
2. Moyes, & Moyes, & Hunter’s, Joyway's I'm A Star At Bryelis (imp Fin). Another super h/l boy, very similar to winner and has lots of quality and breed features to admire.

 VD (2) 
1. Crow’s Ch Estillinis Silver Surfer At Casacavallo JW (Swe.) Stood out for me, quality h/l boy. Very glamorous outline with his shapely body, gorgeous well balanced head, broad skull, eyes could perhaps be a touch darker and very good ears. Super neck and shoulders. Firm topline, broad and deep chest. Well angulated rear with good muscle which showed in his sound and powerful movement. Skin in great condition.
2. Ousbey’s Imp Birchvolgyi Indigo Malverne Sh.CM. Another nice boy, not as clean in outline as winner and can perhaps lose a little weight over his shoulders and ribs to advantage. Attractive head with well placed ears, and very dark eyes, giving a keen expression. He has a nice length of neck and body and well made hindquarters. Nicely presented with very good skin. He moved well in profile, just a bit wide coming on.

GCD (2) 
1. Farquharson’s Shanshal Man Of Steel. PP built on slightly bigger lines. Won his place with his more animated movement. Pleasing head and ear placement. Good length of neck and shoulders, firm level topline and well made hindquarters. Coat of good texture. Moved out freely. 
2. Van Zyl’s Shumllea Hot Spot Of Brighthound. h/l quite a well balanced profile with an attractive head and the darkest of eyes, would like a little better finish of mouth. Good length of neck and body. Straight front and nicely angulated rear. Moved well enough in in profile, just needs to settle behind. Shown in nice condition. 

 MPB (1) 
1. Wright,  & Thomas-Wright’s.  Apailana's I Had A Dream For Warrsan. Just 6 months h/l very pretty baby and she has beautiful skin and furnishings for her tender age. A little overawed but it was quite noisy in the hall today. Lovely head, so pretty and feminine , chiselled cheeks, very dark eyes, her ears need to settle. She has a lean neck that is of good length, level topline with good tail set and carriage. Sound front and secure topline on move, well made hindquarters. She is a touch close behind going away at the moment but looked good in profile. She’s going to be glamorous and showy girl when she develops and grows in confidence, lovely pup with lots of promise.

PB (2) 
1. Moyes, & Hunter-Ryan & Shaw’s, Bryelis Star A'traction JW. Quality h/l puppy who was full of confidence, and her head I thought a shade more balanced which just gave her the edge over her very nice litter sister. Large well fringed ears that were low set. Dark almond shaped eye and a chiselled muzzle. Clean neck, well placed shoulders, and a level topline giving a shapely well balanced outline. Immaculate skin and condition. Sound and eye catching on the move. In the challenge for best puppy just not quite using her ears so well as the male, which I now know is her litter brother, what a cracking litter! .BPB
2. Moyes, & Hunter-Ryan,  & Shaw’s.  Bryelis Oh I Wannabe Famous. Another showy quality h/l puppy, perhaps a tiny touch shorter in the muzzle than her sister standing first and moving just a little close behind going away, otherwise little to separate them. Pretty head, with low set ears. Her neck was strong leading to well laid shoulders, clean straight front with nice bone. Body length correct with a level topline. Her chest is deep and has the correct moderate tuck up and nicely angulated rear with well rounded rump. Skin was in beautiful condition.

2. Bowers’,  Riveralca Morar. Another attractive youngster, thought she had the better balance that the third but couldn’t quite match the reach of the winner on the move and a touch close behind going away. Pretty head, dark eyes and low set ears with good furnishings. Correct length of neck and body. Sound straight front. Sound rear with nice angulation. Her skin was in good condition.

LB (7) Abs: 1
1. Dixon’s, Dark Carolina Rose Avec Debrita (Swed Imp) JW. Super h/l girl who stood out for me in this class. She is very elegant, totally feminine and super sound on the move in all directions. Beautiful headpiece, so nicely balanced and the darkest of eyes, muzzle to skull ratio good and well placed ears with plenty of fringing. She has a good length of neck, well laid shoulders and a shapely body with good rear angulations. Skin is in pristine condition. For me she was by far the best mover of the day, not rushed, just efficient free flowing action. BCC and BOB, delighted to hear afterwards that this was her 3rd and crowning CC subject to KC conformation. Well deserved. 
2. Frame’s,  Elfallons Naked Angel. Another lovely girl, soundly made throughout. Beautiful head and expression, correct low set ears and dark eyes. Decent length of neck and body. Sound straight front and nicely angulated rear. Her skin was in first class condition. Moved soundly around the ring maintaining her outline.
3. Minton’s,  Hedwiga Modern Family At Calabrinda (Imp Pol)


 OB (2) 
1. Vidler’s Koroleve Balemila With Apailana. Pretty well balanced p/p, pleasing size. Very feminine head with all the essentials, nicely chiselled cheeks and the darkest of almond eyes and nose pigment. Her coat was in beautiful condition with the correct outer veil. Nice arch to her neck, well laid shoulders, her topline was firm and she has a deep chest. Sound front and rear. Just wished she showed a bit more animation in the challenge as she would have been a contender for the RCC. 
2. Eaton’s Chestnutcres Sun Set River For Elmsatce. Pretty h/l with good skull to muzzle ratio and the darkest of eyes. Large low set ears,with good fringing, not always using them to advantage today. She has a good neck, sound shoulders, and straight front with hare feet. Topline is strong with deep chest. Lovely skin and furnishings. Moved soundly enough just lacking a little enthusiasm on the move today, just needs a bit more oomph to secure a higher placing.
