SMOOTH: V (4). 1. Lister's, Ch. Eridor I'm Mr Blue at Newarp (Imp). A 9 year old and outstanding for his age. Strong head. Good length of neck. Lovely line from wither to croup. Front angles fine but would like a little more angle to upper arm. Strong bone all through. Well developed rear for a male of his age. Ultra sound. 2. Trundley's, Lillymead Agamenon. 3. Griffiths', Ch. Alopex Out of Theblue. PD. (5). 1. Musty's, Shulune Imperial Gift for Bluebezi. Exciting well made youngster. A tri carrying clear colour. Fine head piece, very sharp lines. Clean neck of good length, top and underlines good. Correct angles at front. Good rear. Well muscled and strong short hocks. Very sound in all directions. 2. Benton and Wood's, Oakestelle Vivaldi. 3. French's, Breckamore Blushing Goom. SYD. (2). 1. Trindley's, Blamorder Back to the Future. 8 months old blue merle. Good head piece, ear set good. Strong neck into very firm topline. I found his profile correct and all angles correct. Sound but paddles front feet so pasterns need to firm up. Road work I think. PGD. (2). 1. Czyzak's, Cuba Libre Smooth Drinks. At 3 years of age, a very striking sable exhibit, top for size, but all in proportion. I did love his outline. Strong masculine head, clean and well cut. Eye shape and colour good. Good reach of neck. Very solid well muscled topline. Just about as level as one could expect. Good for bone all through. All angles good. He excelled on the move in all directions and very well presented. BD and BOS. 2. Kennedy's, Ryecombe De B'n Air. OD. (4). 1. Hutching's, Collidach Molloney Ta Tu You. 4 year old tri of good shape. Lovely outline with bone and muscle appropriate for his age. Very masculine expression. Clean well chiselled head piece. Smooth effortless side gait, but I felt he could match the Post Graduate male coming and going. Even so a very tidy exhibit, very well handled. 2. Leach's, Manordeifi Dionysus at Hilltarn. 3. Denton's, Ryecombe Jaffa Jake. PB. (4). 1. Peacock's, Blamorder Back to the Start. 8 months old tri girl in super condition. Very, very feminine. Soft expression and clean lines top and under. Good for bone, correct shoulder angle and above all is so sound on the move. Well handled. 2 Benton's Oakestelle Venus de Milo 3 Brown's Blamorder Back in Town. SpYB (3) 1 Woodstock's Kangasvuokon Vanentine at Hylaird. Sable at 20 months and not quite mature. I feel she has a little more to come, even so standing very proud. The handler could improve with a little more motivation. Classic head piece, good for height and profile, excellent bone and very sound. PGB (7) 1 Moore's Tomalca Buttons N Bows at Manordeifi. 2 year old sable, eye shape and colour good. Loved her confident expression. Good reach of neck into a firm and level topline, held at all times. Good bone without being heavy. Very tidy feet, smooth action on the move, good coming and going. Res BB. 2 Beeney's Ryecombe Jolly Jonquil at Coneypark. 3 Trundley's Juniperwood Jubilation. OB (11) 1 Hutchings' Collidach Molloney Fay Mouse. Sh CM. 4 year old merle and my exhibit of the day, what an outstanding bitch. Striking profile with good colour, feminine all through and confident and attractive expression. Neckline to topline correct. Enough to please, height, length and width perfect. Easy mover, had the flow which was smooth and powerful. What a delightful girl, so well handled. BB and BOB. 2 Lister's Manordeifi Miss Daisy at Newarp. JW. 3 Moore's Manordeifi Silver Dazzler.
