Veteran Dog or Bitch (3 entries - 0 absentees)
1st - Lister's Ch Eridor I'm Mr Blu at Newarp, upstanding and very
masculine blue merle with outstanding make and shape, well balanced
and clean head although a little deep through, pleasant eye and
expression, ears a little light, excellent reach of neck, correct
shoulder and hind angulation, excellent ribcase and length of body,
strong topline, moved very well, although I would like to see a
little more animation, Best Dog, BOS.
2nd - Griffiths' Ch Alopex Out of the Blue, very feminine and most
attractive blue merle with very good construction, very well
balanced head and correct stop, a little fine in foreface, good ears
and nice eye, very sound with excellent front and hind angulation
which enabled her to move out with reach and drive but would prefer
her topline a little firmer on the move.
3rd - Hills' Devern Fate A Compli
Junior Dog or Bitch (5 entries - 2 absentees)
1st - Norman's Seanue Serendipity, a golden sable bitch with
excellent conformation and movement and presenting a pleasing
overall picture, correct head planes, good ears, good length of
neck, well angulated front and back and moved very well from all
angles, Res Best Bitch.
2nd - Benton's Oakestelle Vivaldi, tricolour male who I feel needs
to mature a little but showing some promise, a very nice balanced
and masculine head with a good eye, good ears, good length of neck,
adequate angulation front and back, moved quite well.

1st - Norman's Ryecombe Drama Queen, golden sable bitch with
excellent overall balance and proportions, correct head planes and a
pleasant eye, correct stop, good length of neck and body, good depth
of chest, well angulated front and back, moved well although tended
to lift her tail a little high.
2nd - Hills' Devern Cascade of Stars, blue merle bitch of good
colour, clean and balanced head although a little fine in forface
and ears a little light, pleasant eye, very soundly constructed
which showed in her effortless movement.
3rd - Leach's Manordeifi Dionysus at Hilltarn
Open Dog (3 entries - 1 absentee)
1st - Hills' Devern Denman, a tricolour dog with a very pleasing
head, perfectly balanced and very clean with no depth, parallel head
planes, a slight but perceptible stop and he has an appealing eye
and expression, reluctant to use his ears but they have the correct
tip, adequate length of neck, good length of back, well angulated
front and back, good body and bone and moved very well, Res Best
Dog.
2nd - Norman's Easy Listening at Seanua, a very masculine golden
sable with excellent substance, correct head planes and correct
stop, pleasant eye but foreface could be better moulded, excellent
ears, his overall shape and balance is very good, moved quite well
from all angles.
Open Bitch (3 entries - 0 absentees)
1st - Benton's Alopex Marionette at Oakestelle, a very feminine blue
merle of a very good colour, she is a little lightly built overall
but very sound, excellent head properties and a flat skull, pleasant
eye and excellent ears, she is well developed in body with good
length of neck and back and pleasant proportions, well built in body
and bone, she moves very soundly and efficiently and interacts with
her handler at all times, Best Bitch, BOB.
2nd - Lister's Mandordeifi Miss Daisy at Newarp, a tricolour bitch
with excellent conformation and movement, I find her head a little
fine in foreface and skull could be flatter, eye a little round, she
is beautifully constructed with excellent reach of neck, her
shoulder and hind angulation is correct, excellent spring, depth and
length of rib, good bone, her movement is sound and true.
