I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this lovely well run show & to my excellent steward. P (2) 1 Peacock’s Blamorder Back To The Start, like this b/tri very much, extremely well made throughout, which showed in her movement which was effortless with plenty of drive, super head with lovely expression, should have a bright future. BP; 2 Forbe’s Willowhurst Vanity. J (3) 1 Wood’s Oakestelle Vivaldi, this young man didn’t do himself any favour when standing, moved the best in the class & that is why I placed him 1st; 2 Glover’s Oakestelle Indie Rock at Stormsett; 3 Musty’s Shulune Imperial Gift for Buebezi. PG (2) 1 Benton’s Oakestelle Venus De Milo, just preferred her dam in the challenge as she is slightly longer on the leg but saying that they are both very similar in make & shape & both moved extremely well. RBB; 2 Kennedy’s Ryecombe Deb’n Air. L (4,2a) Two nice b/m’s just preferred the dog’s head & expression with correctly placed ears, both moved OK. 1 Leach’s Manordeifi Dionysus at Hilltarn; 2 Hill’s Devern Cascade of Stars. OD (1) 1 Hill’s Devern Dennmam, a lovely b/tri who unfortunately had other things on his mind which unfortunately didn’t help his movement but stood & showed very well. OB (2) 1 Benton’s Alopex Marionette of Oakestelle, I liked this b/m when she came into the ring & didn’t disappoint when going over her. So well balanced with a lovely feminine head. Her movement is so effortless with a lovely long stride she gives the impression she could go all day, very pleased when the referee gave her BIS; 2 Forbes’ Multi Ch Kangasvuokon Venice. V 1 Griffiths’ Ch Alopex Out Of The Blue, dam of my BIS winner you can see where she gets her qualities from but she was just showing her age today.
