Graduate (5, 3abs)
1st Jack, Maycourt I’m Still Standing. 11 month liver dog of the size and substance I was expecting, he has a promising head with those oblique set eyes that are such an important breed feature. Lovely construction throughout with plenty of forechest and spring of rib under a crisp, tightly curled jacket. Well boned with a round foot and a broad rear which he put to good use on the move. BP RBOB
2nd Edworthy, Brightmeadow Man of Steel. Taller liver dog with a proper wedge shaped head and correct eye. Strong in neck with a firm topline and plenty of rib. Not as steady on the move as my winner today.
Open (7, 2abs)
1st Davies & Bradstock, Maycourt Kashmir con Redanimo Such a smart looking dog with great static balance, he is just the right size and substance with strong bone and neat round feet. Masculine head with a well set eye and clean jaw and neck. He flows from tip to tail with a firm topline and deep chest and strong coupling. His well muscled quarters gave plenty of drive showing the strongest movement here today and earned him BOB
2nd Edworthy, Maycourt Heartbreaker ShCEx Stronger headed dog with an oblique eye and broad skull, he is really well built with solid muscle, balanced angulation and good bone. Showed a pleasing profile action but a little untidy coming towards me.
3rd Courtier Maycourt Take Me To The Top JW

Junior D/B
1 Whitehead Foxriever Sea Fyre, RBAVNSC – 13 months old nice balanced bitch, good depth of chest, good reach of neck, nice balanced head moved well.
2 Whitehead Foxriever Phoenix Rising. 9 months good straight front, nice balanced head, a bit unsettled today, working alongside her housemate put a little bit of excitement in the mix for her, I feel sure she will settle.
