I would like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment, I had a lovely day. It was a pleasure to Judge this wonderful breed, most of the exhibits would be able to do a day work with no problem. I noted that most of the dogs carried there ears a little low, I put this down to the noise from the road close by. I did not penalize any dog for this. P 1 Griffiths' Foxearth Forore. A six month old blue merle bitch, she has a good evenly balance head forming with a correct stop, the eyes are almond shaped and correct size. The ears tipped forward nicely, good reach of neck and laid back shoulders. The ribs and chest are still at the developing stage at the moment, she has the correct length with the correct slight rise over the loins. The overall shape for such a youngster is very good. Correct length of tail, her movement was OK, this will improve as the muscles develop. This was her first show and I think she has a bright future. BP. J 1 Evans' Southcombe Stylistic. Tri colour bitch 13 months old, good strong underjaw and correct bite, nice smooth parallel lines to the head with a acceptable stop and good eye set. Strong muscular neck, which carried the head proudly. Good length to the body and correct tail set. Good turn of stifle and hocks well let down. She was very strong on the move and attentive to her handler. 2 Moore's Tomalca Buttons N Bows at Manodeifi. Sable and white bitch similar age to winner, has a nice head, good strong underjaw, eye shape and placement correct, ears tipped correctly. Good angulation to the shoulders with the forelegs correctly positioned. Nice deep chest and well-sprung ribs, correct length of body and tail set. She did not settle during her time in the ring, and her movement showed this. I was disappointed that I did not see the best of her. PG 1 Moore's Manordeifi Silver Dazzler. Blue merle bitch with a nice overall shape, smooth lines to the head, with an acceptable stop, good strong neck. Front angulation is good with a good deep chest and well sprung ribs, nice top line and correct tail set. Once she settled down her movement was nice and easy with no effort. 2 Howe's Dawcher Dawn Sunrise. Sable and white dog, correct underjaw and bite, good clean head and nice eye shape. Well arched and muscular neck, has a good top line and carried his tail correctly. Would have liked more drive from the rear whilst on the move, but movement OK. 3 Evan's Southcombe Stylistic. OD 1 Griffiths Alopex Matt Finnish. Tri-colour with lots of quality, the head fits the standard, with smooth parallel lines to form the correct wedge shape, correct length to the muzzle and skull, with correct eye placement and shape. Good strong arched neck, which enabled him to carry his head proudly. Correctly well-laid back shoulders which led to correctly places forelegs. Good deep chest with plenty of rooms for the lungs to expand, lovely top line and slight rise over the loins good tail set. His movement was very good and he was very attentive to his handler through out the class. BOB, RBIS. 2 Hutchings Collidach Molley Ta Tu Tou: Another upstanding tri-colour, head very good with a correct stop and correctly tipped ears, good strong neck and well laid back shoulders. Outline is good with a good turn of stifle. Once on the move was pleasing to watch, very close call with winner. RBD. 3 Lister's CH. Eridor in Mr Blue at Newarp (Imp Aus). OB 1 Lister's Manordeifi Miss Daisy at Newarp. Well constructed tri-colour who showed all the time in the ring, nice smooth lines to form a correct wedge shape head, correct stop and eye placement, well arched neck and laid back shoulders, has a good deep chest and well sprung ribs, correct tail carriage and length. Very good movement, which has been built on strength, and a good drive from the rear. BB, RBOB. 2 Hutchings Collodach Fay Mouse. Blue merle who was very attentive to her handler through out the class. Strong underjaw and correct bite, correct slight stop and tip on the ear correctly positioned, lovely arched and muscular neck. Good front angulation with a correct length of body and tail set. Very free and easy on the move, again this kennel had a close call to winner. RBB. 3 Burgess's Lilymead Appanachi.
