J. (3). 1. Withheld. 2. White's, Dancerwood jewel in the Sun. 3. White's, D Golden Pride. S/w litter sisters at their first show. Heads of good length, flat skull with well placed ears and eyes all combining to give the required expression. Both moved reasonably well but unfortunately neither of them would stand still long enough for me to assess them properly, hence the reason for withholding first place. Two promising bitches but please take them to ring craft. N. 1. With Held. 2. White's, Dancerwood jewel in the Sun. 3. White's, D Golden Pride. PG. (2). 1. Evans's, Dawcher Decoram. Tri bitch not a big girl but everything in proportion and so well balanced overall. Lovely wedge shaped head of good length and pleasing expression. Good angulation. Deep chest and well sprung ribcage. Standing she makes a pleasing picture with lovely reach of neck and good length of back. Really made the most of herself and moved true in both directions. BB and RBOB. OD. (1). 1. Forke's, Ch. Pelghart Paint it Black at Willowhurst. Tri dog who I have admired from the ringside and was not disappointed when going over him. All male but elegant and immediately draws attention. Lovely balanced head with flat skull, good eye placement and length of back. A soundly constructed dog who moves with effortless stride keeping his topline and tail down. Thank you for giving me the pleasure of judging him. BOB, RBIS and BOSIS. OB. (3). 1. Robinson's, Hilltarn Valentino JW. One who I have done well in the past. A feminine tri with lovely wedge shaped head and pleasing expression. Firm back, deep chest, well sprung ribcage. Good angulation and sound construction which enabled her to move with drive. 2. Seldon's, Chicnoir Golden Charm at Merland. I loved this s/w's expression, so soft and dreamy. Her head handled so well and she looks good in profile. Unfortunately is a little narrow in front and her front movement is not as positive as the rear movement.
