Scottish Breeds 2015

LD (2) 1 Benton & Woods' Oakestelle Vivaldi. Refind Tricolour dog with a head of very clean lines, no exaggeration in any way, good clean back skull, no excessive depth, good stop and muzzle. He has a good eye in set, colour and size, I would prefer the expression a little sweeter but it does not detract from his quality. Very good topline with good reach of neck and correct depth and spring of rib giving a pleasing overall shape. He is well angulated and moves with drive and purpose, his condition is super. He showed well and I was delighted to hand him the Challenge Certificate Well done Congratulations! 2 Leach's Manordeifi Doinysus At Hilltarn. Upstanding and masculine blue dog with well broken colour and good bone. He has a very flat skull and well moulded fore face, however I would like his stop to be cleaner. He has a good topline and neck and a good spring of rib, I would prefer him to have a slightly better turn of stifle. He moves well, showed well and is in good condition.

OD (3,1) 1 Williams' Ch Mcclelland Hotter than Hell. Good quality tricolour with very clean head lines good back skull and stop, his muzzle is good but drops slightly on the nose. His eye set shape and size are correct but I would like them a little darker. Very good shape and outline and excellent movement, in good condition. Pleased to award him the Res CC. 2 Haywards Ch Foxearth Flintab Blue merle of good Well broken Colour, good bone and substance and nice outline. Good head, good stop and well moulded muzzle. I would prefer him less full in eye and sweeter in expression. He has a good and strong topline and moves with power, he is in good condition and showed well.

JB (1) 1 White's Breckamore Bridget Jones. WOW! what a precocious young lady she is! Just over the year she just demands ones attention the moment she steps into the ring. A beautiful young tricolour of the very highest quality. She is extremely feminine with a lovely outline with good topline and reach of neck, she is well angulated on the hind quarters and has a good shoulder, she has a surprising depth and spring of rib for one so young. However, it is when you get to her head that she really excels, she has the most feminine of heads, extremely clean in back skull no excessive depth, very flat on skull, perfect stop and a smooth well rounded muzzle with good underjaw. She has a correct eye in size, shape, set and colour, giving the desired expression that is all too rarely found, topped off by superb ear carriage. She moves as she is built, with consummate ease, drive and purpose. She is an absolute show off and gives as much as any handler could wish for, all of the time. We are going to hear and see much more of this young lady in the future, of that I have no doubt! I was absolutely thrilled to award her the Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed. Congratulations!

PGB (1) 1 Fort's Shulune Imperial Storm. Feminine tricolour with a nice head eye and expression, good ear carriage, nice neck and topline. Her overall shape and construction is good, I would however like just a little more of her. She moved and showed well and considering that she was bitten by another dog 10 minutes before coming in the ring, she behaved wonderfully!

LB (3,2) 1 Johnston, Buchanan and Fort's Shulune Imperial. Another very feminine Tricolour, very flat skull, good ear carriage and good type. She has a good neck and topline, and good angulation, I would prefer her to have a little more bone and substance. Moved well and showed well.
