Special Award Classes

I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge these classes and for the unstinting hospitality that was extended to me on the day. The judging proved to be both enjoyable and challenging in that I could not help but notice the number of exhibits that moved rather close behind and in one class, particularly, the number of over emphasised heads.

Puppy ( 5.1)
1.Sidgwick's Salegreen Peony for Paulian
11 mth blen b. Immediately caught the eye with her presentation and attitude. Well broken colours on a generous coat. Level skull with large dark eyes set above well cushioned cheeks. Sparkling expression full of attention. Good arch of neck leading to firm topline, ample ribcage, well placed tail and bold turn of stifle. Moved absolutely soundly, with elan. A very promising puppy.

2.Potter's Toyswood Blackstar
11 mth b/t b. Well constructed head shown off to good effect with dark eyes and clear tan markings giving a pleasing soft expression. Well proportioned body with good bone. Moved soundly. Overall an impressive exhibit but just that little longer in body than 1.

3.Kynaston's Granasil Von Trap

Graduate ( 8.2)
1.Claydon's Brymarden Honeybun
18 mth blen b. who absolutely matched up to her name. Immaculately presented with her dark eyes and good pigment being a complete contrast to the whiteness in her coat. Well marked coat. Lovely sweet head with appealing expression. Well sprung rib cage and sound construction overall. Wonderfully clear movement front and, contrary to so many others, to the rear. A real beauty.

2. Whitfield's Arister Pink Topaz for Bevelmount
17 mth Ruby b. Outstandingly flat head over expressively large, dark eyes curtained by very impressive length of ear fringes. Dark pigmentation. Well made with good body shape and bone. Coat on the turn so not quite the picture she will become. Moved well but just out matched and out marched by 1.

3. Lister's Roll The Dice to Cachevell

Open (6)
1. Renaud's Ellenaud Freddie Mercury
3 ½ year old blen d. Well made dog with good bone and well-sprung ribcage. Masculine head, enhanced by dark eyes and dark pigmentation, on nicely arched neck . Level topline leading to good tail set. Well defined bend of stifle allowing sound drive on the move. Showed with happy disposition.

2. Fox's Lewharle Izzadorable for Lynmily
Blen b. just short of 3 yrs. Slightly heavily marked over a well made body with good rib cage good neck and level topline. Well proportioned frame. Overall a pleasing exhibit, withlovely head, pretty face, alert expression, dark eyes and pigmentation
