Graduate Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Hughes ABACOT INTO THE UNKNOWN JW 5yr old dog, Preferred the balance and substance of this dog. Masculine head of correct proportions, soft but alert expression and eye colour in keeping with coat. Nice shoulder placement, with correct depth and spring of rib for his size. Well coated and good covering of muscle. This male showed his correct front and rear angulation on the move where he covered the ground easily, with reach drive and enthusiasm. |
| 2nd | Vaughan ROSETTIA RED DEVIL OF VALSANNRA Of finer type to 1 however still balanced. Nice head with soft expression, level topline, however lacking slightly in the muscle around the loin and hindquarters. Moved out well across the ring holding topline throughout. |
Limit Dog or Bitch (3 entries)
| 1st | Vaughan KATIMBA MALVASIA OF VALSANNRA 5 year old Bitch, well balanced, pretty head with correct eye shape and colour for coat, she had a lovely expression which was soft and gentle. She stood at the correct size, with a well made front and rear, carrying the right amount of weight and muscle for her frame. Nice depth to her chest and well ribbed up. Covered the ground well, but lacking in enthusiasm. |
| 2nd | Hughes EUSANIT GEM STONE AT ABACOT Of smaller type to 1. Pretty head with lovely expression, well placed shoulders, straght front with correct amount of depth and width to chest. Beautiful shaped feet, moved well, just lacking the rear angulation of 1. |
| 3rd | Palfrey EUSANIT WILD ATLANTIC WAY |
Open Dog or Bitch (3 entries)
| 1st | Hipkiss AFONBACH FIRST SIGN O' SPRING AT DELTANDAMBA JW 2 year old bitch, the most balanced out of all present today, not as mature as others but everything in the right place and she still has time to mature. Beautiful head of correct proportions, she had the alert and soft expression that I would expect of the breed. Forelegs straight, elbows close, well laid shoulders, correct depth and width of chest for her frame. Well coated, not over done in anyway, she moved round the ring with drive and enthusiasm. Pleased to award her BOB. |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA PALMATA JW Mature male, with masculine head, well balanced and coated, standing on good front and rear angles. Unfortunately he was lacking the enthusiasm today, which let him down. Well balanced, well coated, I thought on first glance he would be my winner, however his movement was lacking the reach, drive and bouncienss I would expect of this breed. RBOB |
| 3rd | Hughes EUSANIT CUT AND RUN AT ABACOT |
