1st: 1482 HUNTER, Mrs M    MAYNORTH SHADES OF HEAVEN AT HOOEBARTON

At more than 10 years of age this boy still went round the ring with style. I loved his Ruby colouring and the shape of his head. This was the kind of Charlie that attracted me to the breed.

2nd: 1470 AUSTIN, Mrs Kathleen & AUSTIN, MR MARK    DRAGONHEART WINTER MORNING

This 8 year old Blenheim boy is a lovely size. I liked his markings and the texture of his coat. He could do with a little more drive on the move.

Class 604 PD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1498 SMITH, Mr Stephen & SMITH, Mrs Gillian    JUSTACHARMA JUST MAGICAL

10 Month old Blenheim boy. He  is quite mature for his age. He moved around the ring with drive and is very sound both front and rear. He has a good reach of neck and well laid back shoulders. Turned out with a lovely coat in excellent condition.

2nd: 1481 CLARKE, Mrs Pauline    MITAPIP SPECIAL EDITION AT POLTOMIC

A Ruby baby of 9 months. He has large dark eyes well positioned to give a good expression. He just needs to settle.

Class 605 JD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1497 SMITH, Mr Stephen & SMITH, Mrs Gillian JUSTACHARMA SO MAGIC J W

I have long admired dogs from this kennel and this one is no exception. he is a beautiful Tricolour of just 16 Months. So glamorous with Sparkling White and shining Jet Black coat. So handsome, with a large well domed skull. Large dark eyes and well cushioned cheeks give him a wonderful expression. On the move he showed a super Charlie outline travelling around the ring with drive from behind. I was pleased to give him Best of Breed.

2nd: 1474 BOWLES-ROBINSON, Mrs C TOM DES TROIS MAILLETS BALDRAGON (NAF) (Imp) Fra

14 Month old Blenheim. He has a good reach of neck and well laid shoulders. Well turned stifles so can move with drive that he showed going round the ring

Class 606 PGD (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1491 RHODES, Mrs Catherine & RHODES, Mr Andrew & BOWLES-ROBINSON, Mrs C  BALDRAGON WHAT ELSE

Another glamorous Tricolour who was a good mover, keeping a level topline. A large head with a good dome, and a square muzzle. His ears are set on low as required but could be a little longer.

2nd: 1488 MATCHES, Miss J ELLINGHURST XMAS KRACKER AT FOCHAI

She has a lovely head with a good dome nice square muzzle. Large eyes correctly positioned. Not in the best coat today.

Class 608 OD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1496 SMITH, Mr Stephen & SMITH, Mrs Gillian CH JUSTACHARMA MAGIC GOES ON

This Tricolour boy marched around ring as if he owned it. He is dripping in coat of a nice silky texture. He has an excellent head, well domed, black nose with a definite stop, large dark eyes, square muzzle and a lovely expression all framed with long well feathered ears. Reserve CC

2nd: 1473 BOWLES-ROBINSON, Mrs C   CH BALDRAGON SHOOTS HE SCORES

This boy pushed the winner hard. With well arched neck and well laid back shoulders at the front and well turned stifles at the rear he can certainly stride out. Large dark eyes and a melting expression give him an appealing head.

3rd: 1480 CLARKE, Mrs Pauline POLTOMIC BLACK MAGIC

Class 609 GCD/B NO ENTRIES

Class 610 PB (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1494 SKELTON, Mrs D   ELFINDOR ENCHANTRESS

I liked this appealing little Blenheim. 9 months old she has large dark eyes  that give her a melting expression. Good reach of neck and well laid shoulders. Short coupled with a good turn of stifle she moved well.

2nd: 1486 KENDALL, Mrs Mea   HEADRA EDITH

only 7 months so still quite immature. What she lacked in size she made up for by being full of life. She has a very cute face that will appeal to everyone. I would have loved to take her home with me.

Class 611 JB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1475 BOWLES-ROBINSON, Mrs C TESS DE TROIS MAILLETS BALDRAGON NAF (Imp) Fra

She has a really pretty head, I just loved her turned up nose. I loved her markings but she needs more coat. I'm sure she will fill out more when she is older. Her handler clearly enjoyed being in the ring with her.

Class 612 PGB (5 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1489 MATCHES, Miss J BALDRAGON WAITING IN THE WINGS AT FOCHAI

I enjoyed this class with four of the entries coming from the same kennel and yet very different in shape and size. The winner is a typical Charlie of the type I prefer. She is short coupled but has well turned stifles that allow her to move with some drive.

2nd: 1469 AUSTIN, Mrs Kathleen & AUSTIN, MR MARK   BALDRAGON GOTS HATTITUDE TAF

This girl is very sound both front and rear. She has a good spring of rib. Also lots of coat that may be making her look larger than she is.

Class 613 LB (2 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 1479 CLARKE, Mrs Pauline MITAPIP SWEET ROSEY FOR POLTOMIC

When this girl entered the ring she took my breath away. She is the perfect size for a Charlie, and she has a beautiful outline that she keeps as she moves around the ring. On the table it was a pleasure to go over her and to feel her super spring of ribs and admire her construction first hand. All this and I havent even mentioned her head.  Her head is perfect for her size, a super dome, well set lon ears, correctly positioned eyes and nose with good cushioning she has the softest expression. It was my pleasure to  give her the Bitch CC which I understand makes her up.

Class 614 OB (2 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 1478 BYERS, Mrs Sheila SIMANNIE MAID IN WALES

This lovely Tricolour girl has large dark eyes correctly aligned with her jet black nose.  She has a good reach of neck and well laid back shoulders. I think she needs to be moved a bit faster to show how well she is made.
