Special Veteran Dog (1 entry)

1stHarding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
Have not changed my mind since I last judged him, at 9 years he can still show the younger ones the way home, balanced throughout, appealing head & expression, well angulated, good topline, good front & feet, carried his tail well on the move, moved extremely well, in good coat, sire of BB & RBB. BD & BOB.

Puppy Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)

1stKnowles AVONWHARFE REVELATION AT MENSTONIA
Masculine puppy, must not grow any more, well marked, good head neck & topline, moved OK, coat is not going to last much longer. Just preferred his type to award him BP.

1stHawkins TREVARGH TICKLED TO DEATH
Very balanced on the move. Head was a little fine, markings were just permissible, not the best front in the world but this was the way he was being stood, coat was not in the best condition & could do with carrying more weight, the coat, front & weight the owner can do something about, by possibly altering his feeding regime, attending ring craft classes & getting advice re grooming him.

Feminine young lady, appealing head. Would prefer her to carry her tail up more when on the move. Well bent stifles, good topline & coat.

Perhaps a little fine throughout, preferred winner's head & expression, not the turn of stifle of 1 but then stifles often improve with age. Moved well, good coat.
