1^st

How & Farley SAWBRIDGE LOCHBUIE
15-month-old bitch that had a lovely expression. Refined in feminine looks giving slight wedge shape. Correct almond shaped eye. Light in pigmentation around eye that worked well for this girl. Triangle ears set well back on skull. Strong in neck. decent angulation to front, with elbows close to body. Depth of chest below elbow. A little bum high at present that did not help topline. Hopefully will grow out of this as she matures. Nice and lively on the move, with good tail carriage.

Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (3 entries)

1^st	How & Farley HWYADEN SUNRISE RUBY AT SAWBRIDGE 4-year-old bitch that was very sturdy and was well muscled. I felt she had a lovely soft expression coming from her almond shaped eyes. Good placement of ears set high, well back on skull. Well proportioned, strong neck that flowed seamlessly in to muscular, shoulders of medium length. Well boned, without exaggeration. Well sprung ribs. Excellent width to thigh, which was lovely to see, and still in balance. Moved out and covered the ground well. was a little close at times. Looked in her prime. RBOB.
2^nd	Wallwork SCHINDOW LIVING DOLL 6-year-old bitch that was lighter in coat and skin colour than most in the breed on the day, however, still appealing. Slighter in build than 1st. Excellent rapport with handler. very alert and bright girl. Lovely zygomatic protuberance. Ear placement and carriage only helped with the overall expression. Good length to neck into well angulated shoulders. Could have done with a little more length to upper arm. Good depth and spring to ribs, leading into good length to loin. Moved ok.
3^rd	Brand COEDHELYG JINGLE ALL THE WAY

Open Dog or Bitch (4 entries)

1^st	Barker SH CH EUSANIT SILVR DREAM MACHINE This 5-year-old dog is what I was looking for. Very flashy boy that was not style over substance, because that was apparent also. No coarseness to slight wedged skull that was lovely and rounded at back. Only moderate stop which was desirable. Large lighter coloured nostrils. Alertness to almond-shaped eyes. Ears sat well back on skull that were well feathered at back of fold. Welled muscled neck into well-defined lay back of shoulders. Muscling was very pleasing throughout. Deep in chest and ribs well sprung. Good width over croup and to both upper and second thigh. Loved the angulation at stifle. Moved so well with strong rear drive. Purposeful white tipped tail and head carriage on the move. Displayed in super coat. BOB.
2^nd	Brand COEDHELYG JINGLE ALL THE WAY 22-month dog- was 3rd in previous class. Would have liked to have placed higher in previous class, but movement was not good. Suddenly in this class, seemed to get his act together and subsequently moved very well. Good richness and colour to coat. Slighter than 1st, but still appealing in the stack. Still needs a bit of maturing. Expression was lovely with correct eye shape/darker in colour that lent itself well to the colour of the coat. Good workings beneath eye. Strong in front angulation. Good strength again to loin. So happy to see the movement better second time in the ring.

1^st	Barker SH CH EUSANIT SILVR DREAM MACHINE Very much liked this dog as soon as he came into the ring. He is a good overall shape with balanced angulation both fore and rear. Good depth of body with a super spring of rib carried well back. In super coat and condition.
