Orange & white bitch coming up 3 years of age. Not too keen to be judged, but a happy and outgoing girl. She has a balanced overall shape, with a decent length of leg, and square in outline. Shown in a short clip, but showing well distributed curls. Feminine head, good shape to the eye, and well placed ears. Body has the desired narrowness and brisket down to the elbow. In good muscle tone. A Little untidy on the move today

Super brown & white bitch, who is not far from her 9th birthday and looking in fine fettle. She has a beautiful outline when stacked. Her profile is square, shows a good length of leg and flows from nose to tail.  Feminine head, with slight divergent planes, and shorter foreface. Correct shape to the eye and colour toning to give a gentle but alert expression. Her slightly arched neck flows seamlessly into a firm topline and well set on tail. The body has the desired narrowness all through, but the brisket is down to the elbow and she has a good fill in of forechest. Liked her width of thighs on the hindquarters, well bent stifle, and low set hocks. Moved with an effortless gait, precise and powerful. Well presented with a good jacket of woolly curls – BB & BOS

2nd: 3839 WILLIAMS, ms VALERIE & CARLESS, Mr Jeff Fullforge Floral Dancer
WOW, this brown roan bitch has defied the aging process, and looks fabulous, she does not look or act 10 years old! She has a super happy and outgoing temperament with a constantly wagging tail. Not quite as square in her outline as winner, but thought her very smart with much to admire. Lovely head, nicely balanced with correct length of foreface, slight stop and dark roundish eyes that sparkled with mischief. Short strong neck, narrow through the front, ribs springing nicely, not quite as firm in topline today, shows a good width of thigh. She moved with purpose and drive. Coat of good texture and curl

Lovely class

Quality puppy and showing so much promise. This brown dog is just coming up 9 months of age, what a future he must have. So very smart giving a super shapely silhouette when stood. Thought him to be of a nice size, typical in his outline and sound in his construction. He has a lovely square profile, with a good length of leg, very balanced and in proportion. Masculine and balanced head piece, backskull of a good width and slight convex, correct length to the foreface, large round dark eyes, giving a keen and gentle expression. Strong short neck with a slight arch, withers slightly higher, and a slight slope to the topline. Is narrow all through, but shows a good spring to the ribcage and a strong short loin. Well placed, straight oval boned forelegs. Hindquarters have a good bend of stifle and hocks are low set. This boy comes alive on the move, showing plenty of drive and oozed style and confidence. Shown in a good jacket. Delighted to watch him be shortlisted in both the adult and puppy gundog groups – well done – BD & BP & BOB

2nd: 3826 BLUNDEN, Mrs Jannette Mikette Aye Aye Captain
Another cracking youngster, who unfortunately today decided to behave like a muppet! But loved him also. 9 month old orange & white dog, who is very breed typical in his outline. Lovely and square, with the desired leg length. Balanced head shape, with good ratios, well place large round eyes, and a cheeky expression. Clean neck, flowing into his well held topline, nice fill in of forechest. He has the narrowness through the front, and stands on good oval boned limbs and compact feet. Liked his hindquarters, as he has a good width of thigh and sweep of stifle with straight and parallel rear pasterns. Not quite as tidy on the move as winner today, but when he put his mind to it, showed a lovely gait. Presented in a coat with a good curl and texture - RBD

1st: 3843 WORRALL, Mrs Amanda & WORRALL, Mr David & WORRALL, Moonreed Drake
Quite a character to this 15 month old brown & white dog, he has a happy and cheeky nature. He presents a square outline when stood, with a good length of leg. Pleasing head, with good ratios, with the right amount of strength, slight stop, well placed ears, and dark round eyes. Strong neck, clean and straight forelegs with good oval bone. Today tending to lose his topline. Nice spring to the ribcage and reaching down to the elbow. Wide and strong quarters, which he put to good use on the move to drive around the ring, moving a fraction close behind. Lovely coat and texture

1st: 3822 FERGUSON, Mrs Louise Truffalusa November Moon From Mizani
2 year old brown roan dog, from a slightly larger mould, but showing lovely balance and a typical square outline, with good overall ratios. He has an appealing head, good width to the backskull and slightly convex, short foreface again with masculine strength. His lovely large dark round eyes, give a keen and gentle expression. Short muscular neck flowing into his well held topline a little. Clean, straight forelegs and narrow in front. Elbows close to the body, and correct spring to the ribs. Moderate hindquarters in good muscle tone. Moved with good drive, nice and clean in his front action a fraction close behind. Good curl to the coat and of a good texture

2nd: 3809 & YOUNG & DUIGENAN, Mr & Mrs M Mangham Foogel Roberto at Onyxro (imp Fin)(AZ1)
Loved the overall size and outgoing demeanour, of this coming up 2 year old brown & white dog. He has a  nice square in outline, with a good length of leg. Masculine all through. Liked his head, shows good width and strength but in no way overdone. Dark round eyes with a kind expression. Correct length of neck, good depth to the brisket and a well sprung ribcage. Today he was tending to be a little soft in the topline. Moderate hindquarters, low set hocks. Good driving action, moving a fraction wider in front. Shown in super coat and condition.

1st: 3838 TINDALL, Miss Susan Greenbankes Kara
Inquisitive and fun loving 2 year old brown & white bitch, she is a well balance girl with lots to admire, but had other things on her mind today. Liked her overall size and balance, with a good length of leg and the desired narrowness. Pleasing feminine head, with good ratio of backskull to foreface, well placed ears, and mischievous eyes. Short neck, flowing into a firm topline, brisket reaching down to the elbows and correctly sprung ribs. Moderate hindquarters. She did not make it easy for her handler on the move, but moved with purpose and an ever wagging tail. Nice curl to the coat.

1st: 3814 BATES, Mrs Joanna Shinfield Flora
14 month old brown & white bitch, who was not at all settled today, which made it a little more difficult to assess her. Liked her overall size and narrowness, she is a fraction longer in the body. Feminine head, which shows good balance, with the slightly shorter foreface, and rounder toning eye. Short neck, straight forelegs, enough depth to the brisket, falling away a little at the croup. Hindquarters and have a nice bend of stifle. Rather erratic on the move. Nice woolly coat texture

Nice class, headed by litter sisters, both very appealing
1st: 3835 MORT, Mrs Lisa Arcticbreeze Truth or Dare
Really lovely 19 month old brown roan bitch. I was taken by the overall picture of balance and breed type. She has a lovely square profile when stood, and being slightly higher on the leg, shown in a thick woolly textured coat with a good curl. Feminine head, with good width to the backskull, and slightly arched, shorter foreface, and toning large eyes giving an intelligent and kind expression. Clean neck, short and strong, with a slight arch, flowing into a firm gently sloping topline from withers to croup. Straight forelegs onto tight compact feet, chest is well let down to the elbow, and ribs nicely sprung out, to a short and strong loin. Moderate in her hindquarters, with low set parallel rear pasterns. Moving out with enthusiasm and true in her action - RBB

2nd: 3829 HELLER, Miss W Arcticbreeze Hopscotch to Floreydown
Litter sister to winner, and very similar in many respects, just splitting hairs. 19 month old brown roan. She has the desired square outline, not quite the leg length of her sister, but we are only talking fractions! Pleasing feminine head of the correct proportions and ratios. Short strong neck flowing seamlessly into a well held topline. Viewed from the front, she displays the narrowness required. Having enough depth and fill in of forechest, with ribs carried well back. Strong muscular hindquarters, with a good width of thigh. Presented in a lovely jacket of woolly curls. Not quite as precise as winner today on the move, showing good drive

1st: 3831 LILLICRAP, Mrs Lucy Mizani Sebio Iola
Shapely 3 year old brown bitch. Very balanced in her outline, which displays the desired squareness with a good length of leg. She has a very appealing feminine and balanced head, having good width at the zygomatic arch, slight stop, large dark eyes, and strength to her slightly shorter foreface. She has a good fill in of forechest and the brisket is down to the elbow. Standing on good oval boned limbs. Ribs are nicely sprung, she did have a tendency to lose her topline at times. Strong backend, with a lovely width of thigh, good bend of stifle and low set hocks. Moving with a ground covering action. Good coat texture and curl

2nd: 3824 GILDER, Mr J & BLUNDEN, Miss L Mikette Maledictus
Pleasing silhouette to this orange & white bitch who is just shy of her 2nd birthday. She has a lovely, typical outline when stood. Square and rustic in appearance, with slightly more length to the leg giving good overall balance. Feminine head with good ratios, and a keen expression. Strong neck flowing into a firm topline. She has good depth to the brisket, which is down to the elbow and good fill in of forechest. Narrow when seen from the front with straight oval boned forelegs. Today preferred winners hindquarters. Moved with drive, just a fraction close behind. Well presented in good coat

Really liked this 6 year old brown bitch, she is from a smaller mould but perfectly formed. She presents a lovely outline on the stack, to give a square and compact appearance, and has plenty of ‘joie de vivre’. She is very balanced and all in proportion. She has an appealing head, with a lovely large dark eye, giving a keen and alert expression. Short neck, flowing into her firmly held topline. Good depth to the brisket and the desired narrowness in front. A gentle tuck up gives her a shapely outline. Wide thighs and nice bend to the stifle. She strode out on the move to show drive, just a little untidy behind, which lost her higher awards today. Shown in good coat and condition

2nd: 3832 MCALLISTER, Ms Patsy Rumolboys Cascade Of Fire
4 year old brown roan bitch, with much to commend her. Liked her overall size and shape, she has a nice square outline, with substance but not overdone. Feminine head, with good proportions, and strength to her shorter foreface, dark large rounder eye, giving a gentle expression. Strong short neck, good depth to the brisket, being down to the elbow and a nice fill in of forechest. Ribs carried well back and with a good spring. Today tending to be a little soft in her topline at times. Strong wide quarters, which she put to good use on the move to drive around the ring, with a clean action fore and aft. Good coat texture
