My first time giving CCs & I thank the exhibitors for a lovely entry with plenty of good dogs for me to choose from. It seems like only yesterday that I judged the club open show but it was back in 2014, so I was surprised to see that I gave BOB to the same dog who won best dog under me then. Just goes to show what stayers this breed is.
Veteran Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Harding & Whitehill SH CH TREVARGH THE ENTERTAINER AT BRIZEWOOD Mature dog who belies his age, he is in excellent coat & condition, lovely masculine head & expression, well made & moved so soundly looking particularly good in profile with his correct head carriage, he is very masculine in outlook with good neck & shoulders, strong topline & well set tail. At the end of the dogs, I could see nothing to lower his flag & I was pleased to award him the RCC & BV and he went on to 3rd in the Veteran Group. |
| 2nd | Powley DANEHAVEN SEVERN Older male who moved so well holding his topline & well carried tail, has a masculine head & expression with good expressive ears, he is of a good size & proportions with a lovely coat which was beautifully presented, good hindquarters, well boned legs & feet. |
| 3rd | Ward MELANITTA FIREBLADE |
Puppy Dog (1 entry)
| 1st | Ede REDAURORA FOLLOW THAT DREAM Lovely puppy just right for age, he has lots of potential, in good puppy coat with a good head which is maturing nicely, moved just as a puppy should, he is loose at present but he is well made with the correct length of neck, lovely bone & feet, good depth of chest for age, good proportions. BPD. |
Junior Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Collins & Powley DANEHAVEN KOVIK Good body proportions with enough coat to cover at present but what he has is well conditioned & correct texture, lovely head & expression, good topline & tailset, lovely hindquarters, this workmanlike dog has a very masculine outlook & looked impressive in profile on the move with his correct head carriage. |
| 2nd | Titovets & Eremin MACDREAMS TRENT FROM CASHEL VALE RL2 (IMP NLD) Darker boy who still needs to finish to complete the picture, another with his summer coat on, he moves well & is balanced with a good forechest & strong topline, good head but eyes just need to darken still to complete the picture but he has good ear carriage & the correct neck & well laid shoulders. |

| 1st | Wakely RIVERWATCHER KAVIKSUK Mature dog who fills the eye, excellent head & expression, he is balanced with enough coat which was in lovely condition, god neck & shoulders, strong topline & tailset, would just prefer a stronger hindquarter & a better bend of stifle but this doesn't hold him back as he effortlessly covers the ground & moves soundly up & back. Won the class on his type, quality & showmanship. |
