PD (3). 1. Hatward’s, Foxearth Sandy Footprints. Lovely quality s/w, so well balanced. Super neck and forehand. Good front and quarters. Very good topline. Moved well on lovely legs and feet. His head is of good length with neat ears and good eye and expression. Very raw as yet but liked him a lot. Won RCC. Everything is here, watch out for him next year. 2. Evans’s, Southcombe Sunset Shadow. Another s/w. Just 6 months old. Super bone and exceptional feet on him. Very good body and ribbing and depth of chest, also has a good jacket. Went very well. Not the head properties of winner and a shade heavy in ear. 3. Meacham’s, Southcombe Silent Wings at Zellamere.

ND. (3). 1. Breeze’s, Ochilview Great Scor. Good colours, well marked b/m. Very good jacket on this dog. Quite good in outline and a decent mover. Could have better hindquarters. Typy head but eye could be a little better.

LD. (4). 1. Garnett’s, Knipes Golden Supremo. Quality shaded s/w. Lovely head with correct stop, good foreface and the best of ears, eyes could be a shade darker. Very well made with good neck and front assembly. Harsh coat could use a little more body. Very sound going and coming. But oh dear, that tail. 2. Tuck’s, Dark motif from Misstoff. Tri colour, would like more of him for a male and feet could be better. Typy head but again a darker eye would improve. Decent mover roud of his tail.

OD. (3). 1. Macgregor’s, Ch. Moonwalker from Misstoff. Upstanding tri of some quality, in beautiful condition. Gleaming in the sun, very good head and neat ears, eyes could just be that bit darker. Good balance of height to length with good neck. Movement is very sound and has a lovely stride going round. Topline could just be that bit firmer. He is such a sensible showman and was beautifully presented and shown. This won him the CC and BOB. 2. Clark’s, Astrellita Absoulo. Another tri colour carrying a bit too much weight and a little soft in condition. Good in outline and pleasing to go over. Not a flat catcher as he is a bit plainly marked. Could do more for himself with his showing. 3. Evans’s, Southcombe Scotch on the Rocks.

PB. (3). 1. Hayward’s, Foxearth Castles in the Sky. Very pretty showy golden s/w. Loved her head, flat skull, neat ears, darkest of eyes giving good expression. Lovely neck and outline. Carrying far too much weight and could use better hindquarters. Movement was affected by this. 2. Fort’s, Chicnoir Elusive Dream. Shaded s/w this bitch was a better mover than first, but did not have the head, fall away at the nose end a little and her skull recedes at present. Topline could be firmer. Good coat and so sound going and coming.

JB. (5). 1. Curtis. Snuggletooth Flurry’s Filly. I though my find of the day. Lovely little tri colour. So pretty, so feminine and such quality. Lovely head, good stop, flat skull and ears on top. Lovely neck, firm topline, super bone for size. Neat feet, so very sound going and coming and lovely going round. Fabulous temperament. Nothing seems to faze her and just shows all the while. Super jacket too. CC. Her first I wish her well for her title. 2. Hayward’s, Foxearth Fanfare To Oh La La. This s/w is a very good prospect. She has a typy head of good length and an exceptional neck. Well balanced in outline soft in topline and again too much weight. Strode out well going round but was a bit allover the place coming and going. Just needs some work on her and must learn to show.

NB. (2). 1. Hyde’s, Foxearth Future Magic. Delicious s/w, lovely head and gorgeous expression, coming from her lovely stop, flat skull, neat ears and dark eyes. Well balanced in outline. Good front and feet, good body and ribbing. The CC winner just outmoved and out showed her. Won RCC and BP with little help from her handler. Would expect this one to do great things alos id she were mine.

PGB. (3). 1. Meacham’s, Rowvale Ring O Roses at Zellamere. Quality s/w, very feminine and she has a lovely head and eye. Most pleasing in most departments. Feet could be better and could carry a little more weight. Good coat, nice outline, spanking mover so very sound and scors heavily going round. 2. Hyde’s, Foxearth Fondant. Like the others from this excellent litter this s/w is so shapely. Excells in neck and outline. Head is of good lengthbut could be cleaner in stop and her expression could be better, neat ears, well used. Too much weight which affected her movement. Needs some work on her. 3. Hills’, Devern Dark Mistress.

LB. (9). 1. Hills’, Devern Blue Silhouette. Decent coloured blue with ideal markings, glamarous collar so well presented. Very nice type of head if a little two-peice. Lovely ears and she shows non stop. Very good moving bitch who is well made and owns a fabulous jacket. 2. Smith’s, Tentola Naughty by Nature. S/w who is her own worst enemy. Typy head could be just that bit cleaner in stop. So well made with excellent body properties and so very sound. Strode out well going round keeping firm topline. Very miserable on the day. 3. Clark’s, Astrellita Bedazzled.

OB. (6). 1. Hayward’s, Foxearth Finese at Sandwick. Gorgeous coloured blue. Good neck and outline. Perhaps a touch short backed? Pleasing to go over, sound on the move but could use more bend of stifle. Very nice type of head, ears on top, eye a little bold. Good coat. Very nice well presented and shown hard and fit. 2. Smith’s, Ochilview Proper Madam of Tentola. Quality tri colour, carrying a touch too much weight and this affected her topline. Sound going and coming with shorter hocks. Very nice head, good eye and foreface. Neat ears, very well shown. 3. Gibson’s, Pelghart Painted Lady.
