Class 1322 VD NO ENTRIES

Class 1323 MPD NO ENTRIES

Class 1324 PD (2 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 2789 SWASH, Mrs M Jokyl Kingfisher.  Smart and typical, good length of skull; dark intelligent eye.  Clean neck and shoulders.  Good depth of chest.  Ribs extend well back.  Nicely angulated, muscular hindquarters gave him some push on the move.

Class 1325 JD NO ENTRIES

Class 1326 PGD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2774 BLACKBURN, Mrs Jo Lumosadie The Fire Bird. Pleasing head with a fairly small, dark eye and neat, well-carried ears.  Clean, nicely arched neck.  Well ribbed with decent depth of chest.  Harsh, well presented jacket. 
2nd: 2786 SIMPSON-JONES, Mrs Lynda Cwmplentyn Jack Of Hearts.  A shade broader in skull than the winner.  Alert expression.  Compact with a strong, short loin and very good tailset and carriage. Moved soundly. 
3rd: 2781 KNIGHTS, Mr D & STOKES, Mr J & STEINKE, Mrs S R Temtiz Buzz Lightyear At Lelaps

Class 1327 LD (3 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 2793 TURNER, Mr Rowland & TURNER, Mrs Jane Crillee Carry On The Legend.  Very pleasing head and expression, long skull, excellent ears and strong jaw.  Muscular arched neck.  Good depth of chest.  Presents a very typical outline and he was shown in hard muscular condition and in a good jacket. Sound and free moving. I would certainly say he is CC quality.
2nd: 2779 HACKER, Mr M D & JENKINS, Mr D Muliebrity Blue Beret At Sherifs.  Another with a lot of quality. Lovely head and expression but ear carriage was a shade untidy.  Good depth of chest, well ribbed and these extend well back. Excellent tailset and carriage.  Impressed on the move.  Good jacket.  

Class 1328 OD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 2790 TOULSON, Mr N & Mrs H Ch Toulsyork Taylor Made.  CC & BOB. Strong and masculine but in way coarse.  Grand head and ears with a fairly small eye and a really alert, keen expression.  Very well ribbed with good depth of chest.  Short coupled with excellent tailset and carriage. Sound and free moving with an easy, purposeful stride.
2nd: 2776 BROWN, Mrs Julie & BROWN, Mr David Ch Jokyl Daily Special JW.  Reserve CC.  I see now that he was my Best Puppy last time I judged and he has fulfilled his early promise.  Beautifully balanced and has lots of quality.  Strong, nicely crested neck, good depth of chest, ribs extend well back to a short, strong loin.  Excellent tailset and carriage. Absolutely sound and typical on the move. Harsh, well prepared jacket.

Harsh, well presented jacket. Moved soundly with some drive evident.
