PD (4) 1 Wallis’ Freejack First Knight at Norfield. Nice tri dog well up to size, well proportioned head piece, nice eye, ample neck reasonable front assembly, moved ok but tended to go a touch close behind at times, I think this dog will take a little more time to settle in. 2 Moores’ Manordeifi Storm Breaker. Good type pleasing head, would like a touch more neck. Good front assembly, good body ratios, good mover for age, presented in good order 3 Leach’s Hilltarn Chitinn. 

JD (2) 1 Freejack First Knight at Norfield. 2 Manordeifi Storm Breaker.

PGD (4,3) 1 Winter and Unwin’s  Sturtmoor Alexavier Odessy at Snowtrekka. Pleasing type, nicely mark tri in good condition, reasonable head qualities, with a good eye, ample neck, good length to body with deep ribbing, but a little too long in loin, good rear quarters, sound mover.

LD (4,1) 1 Forbes’  Pelghart Paint It Black At Willowhurst. I quite liked this dog, I found nothing to offend, except his slightly high tail carriage, pleased throughout, presented in very good condition. 2 Wallis’ Norfield Soul Mate. Unfortunate to meet winner today in such good form, well balanced head with good planes, reasonable forehand, deep ribbing stood a little straight behind which restricted the powerful pushing action wanted in a working dog, well presented. 3 Moores’ Manordeifi Solar Eclipse

OD (5) 1 Lister’s Eridor Im Mr Blu At Newarp (Imp) nice blue male that looked a male, i would have like him a little more streamline in body, looked a touch too deep, excellent head qualities with a good eye, ample neck good front but needs to firm a little more in front action. Good body ratio, very well presented. 2 Norman and Ch Foxearth Flash Past. I really loved this dog but his front action needs to firm a little more, lovely type, nice to go over, excellent ratios, good rear quarters, put down in good order. 3 Griffiths’ Ch Alopex Highland Fling.

PB (3,1) 1 Jolley’s  Dancerwood Black Pearl At Dekobras NAF. Very feminine bitch that is a real puppy but has more to come i think, very well reared good head proportions with good planes, nice eye and expression. Pleasing body for age, active mover. 2 Moores’  Manordeifi Silvadora. A really lovely bitch that could have won the class on her construction, would have preferred a more silvery blue to coat, this lost her the class, quite well balanced head that was well filled with a good eye and pleasing ears, good firm body with good ratios, nice rear which she used to her advantage.

JB (1) 1  Manordeifi Silvadora. 

PGB (6,3) 1 Robinson’s  Dawcher Dream Searcher. A very nice bitch that lacks muscle tone, but still has to stand at the top of the class for her balance and other qualities. Best mover in the class. 2 Griffiths’  Alopex Out of the Blue. Lovely type I would have preferred her a touch longer in head, but still balanced with a good eye, ample neck, good ribbing, good overlay, good on the move well presented. 3 Burgess’ Lilymead Appanchi

LB (4,1) 1 Withheld. 2 Hill’s  Devern Fate a Compli. Too fine and bumpy in skull, good dark eye, neat ears, ample neck, good ribbing but would have like a touch more spring, stout loin, reasonable mover in both directions. 3 Hutchings and  Waites’ Foxearth Fluorescence At Molloney.

OB (6,3) 1 Robinson’s  Hilltarn Valentine JW. A delightful tri bitch that has everything going for her, never put a foot wrong, pleased to see she took group four in a very strong group. Well done. 2 Hayward’s Foxearth Fire of Love at Lilymead, nicely proportioned bitch that did not perform, a little bumpy in skull for me, darlk eye,ample neck good forehand, good body ratios. 3 Gay’s  Hilltarn Kiri At Yagane Sh.CM
