What a pleasure to judge at this show, with such friendly, courteous and sporting exhibitors.
Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Dee MELANITTA CARELINUS Two and a half year old dog presented in super fit condition. Masculine, with good length of neck leading into well ribbed body. Typical breed outline and proportions. Sound parallel movement, would have preferred a bit more drive. |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA HEALSTETHER Two and a half year old bitch and litter mate of 1. Well-made with good proportions and angulation front and rear. Feminine correct head and expression. Her construction gave good positive movement from all angles. Would have liked a bit more of her. |
| 3rd | Robinson WEYFROME CURLY WURLY |
Limit Dog or Bitch (6 entries)
| 1st | Palfrey FLUSHPOINT WHATA ACCIDENT FOR MELANITTA (IMP SWE) Fabulous eight year old, still so full of life and confidence that typifies this breed. Very typical bitch of lovely size and proportions with a super feminine clean cut skull. Good angulation allowing easy flowing movement from all aspects. Her ebullient energy and playfulness, even as a veteran, gave her this well-deserved BOB. |
| 2nd | Dee MELANITTA CARELINUS |
| 3rd | Ward FLUSHPOINT WHATA ARISTOCRAT AT MELANITTA (IMP SWE) |
Open Dog or Bitch (5 entries)
| 1st | Hipkiss ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM Three year old well-schooled and presented dog of good proportions. Good masculine head but for me slightly low ear placement. Well angulated and presents a super typical silhouette. Moved well, at one with his handler. Missed out in the challenge due to the confidence of the winner. RBOB. |
