PD. (5). 1. Tentola Foreign Liaison. Well proportioned tricolour having the correct coat colour. His black is black and he has a nice shade of tan - makes a change. Good eye and ear placement, straight front and tight feet. Enough reach of neck, well ribbed back and nice turn of stifle. Still needs to settle, but did enough for me on the day to take the Best Puppy. 2 Manordeifi Solar Eclipse. Another nice young man who looked his sex. Good eye and ear placement, muzze needs to fill out a little more. Straight front, well arched neck and good depth to ribcage. Well angulated rear quarters, moved out well and was neatly presented and shown. 3 Chicnoir Snowberry at Snuggletooth.

PGD (4) 1 Chicnoir Quartermaster. Very appealing male with a good head pattern, correct eye and ear placement, flat skull not often seen these days. Well boned front, ribbed well back and enough turn of stifle to give him the desired drive in movement. Will persist in standing hunched up and this needs to be addressed by his handler. 2 Foxearth to Twist Fate of Sturtmoor. Good length of head, well placed ears, eyes a little lght in colour. Straight front, good reach of neck and level topline. Sufficient rear angulation but did not move out as well as the winner on the day. 3 Alopex Going Equipped.

LD (4) 1 Foxearth Finlander of Sturtmoor. Well proportioned dog having appealing expression. Good eye and ear placement and straight, well boned front. Nice reach of neck, well ribbed back and sufficient rear angulation to give me the movement I was seeking. Moved in unison with his handler and was well presented and shown. Res CC. 2 Dark Motif from Misstoff. Nice sized dog having a pleasing head pattern and well boned, straight front. Well arched neck, good depth of ribcage and well muscled rear quarters. Falls away slightly on the croup and this spoils the overall picture. 3 Norfield Knight Star.

OD (3) 1 Ch Moon Walker from Misstoff. Very appealing tricolour having good head pattern, well filled foreface, neat, well set ears and good eye shape. Straight front, good reach of neck, well developed ribcahe and level topline - held on the move. Good turn of stifle, well let down rear pasterns and moved with drive. His tail is not his fortune. CC. 2 Rowvale Strom Rising at Southcombe. Good length of head, nice earset, well filled muzzle, falls away slightly at mose. Good reach of neck, well developed ribcage and strongly developed rearquarters. Another who falls away slightly on the croup. 3 Southcombe Sterling.

JB (6) 1 Chicnoir Elusive Dream. Good length of head, well placed ears and eye good eye placement. Straight front, good reach of neck, level topline and well angulated stifles. Moved out with drive - just needs to fill out more on foreface. 2 Southcombe’s Sophisticate at Rowvale. Nice head length, ears a little wide set, good eye shape and nice reach of neck. Well developed ribcage, enough turn of stifle and move out reasonably. Would have just preferred her a shade smaller for a bitch. 3 Chicnoir Golden Charm at Merland.

PGB (2) 1 Hilltarn Kiri at Yagane. Good length of head, nice earset, eyes of different colour did not help the expression. Good reach of neck, nice body condition and well turned stifles. The movement on this bitch was excellent and for me was the best on the day. 2 Dancerwood Shady Lady with Luvies. Nice length of head, good eye and ear placement. Good reach of neck and level topline. Front pasterns need to tighten.

Good well moulded foreface, nice reach of neck and well developed ribcage. Correct level topline, well turned stifles and correct harsh coat. Moved out reasonably well with shoulder, but front pasterns now beginning to get a little loose. Did enough in the challenge on the day to take CC and Best of Breed. 2 Ochilview Proper Madam of Tentola. Another good honest bitch with a nice head and expression, straight front, well arched neck, good depth to brisket and strong hindquarters. Topline needs to be addressed as she tends to stand a little crouched at the rear. 3 Alopex Silverstone.
