1 Finch’s’ Molokain Doing The Do At Cetgueli (Curly Coat) Nice shape of head, strong clean neck set on well laid shoulders, straight front, level topline and muscular adequately angled rear, a little hesitant on the stack and movement was not his best today.

1 Stephen’s Ravenho Up Town Girl for Brightmeadow. Wow, what a stunning puppy. 9 months, outstanding confirmation from her feminine head to the end of her tail. Is completely balanced with everything fitting together seamlessly, with all the finish, class and beauty of line one could possibly hope for. On the move was sound, but a little erratic which cost her the breed by the tightest of margins, against her equally precocious brother. With time I doubt she will trouble the best; she will be the best! I will watch her career with interest. RBOB
2 Whitehead’s Foxriever Ritual Flame, 8 month bitch, who was rather overwhelmed by the experience which made assessing her difficult. Showed glimpses of a promising shape. Well boned legs, body developing nicely, and correctly angulated hindquarters.

1 Stephenson’s Ravenho Looks Like Trouble for Brightmeadow. brother to puppy winner. Right out the top of the top draw and makes an immediate impression. Another stunning puppy, well grown for age and slightly more forward than his sister, but has room for maturity without going over. Again, outstanding confirmation, class and finish throughout; preferred his sister over the croup, but, even in this small ring and slippery surface, this dog’s movement was spectacular for any age, let alone 9 months; foot perfect, with reach, drive and power but nothing exaggerated. Would love to see him outside in a bigger ring. Exciting time ahead for this young man. BOB and BP.
2 Whitehead’s Stormacre Family Portrait for Foxriever, 14 month bitch. Stands on well boned legs, developing well in body with depth and well ribbed up to her short strong loin, Holds her topline on the move.
O (2,1)
1 Clayton’s Lizallwood Mr Bojangles JW, 2 year old dog, pleasing overall shape in profile. Stands on good legs, straight front, well sprung ribs and strong loin. Moderate angulation and let down to hocks. Keeps his topline on the move, just couldn’t match the youngsters for power and drive on the move today.

1 & BOB Edworthy’s Maycourt Heartbreaker. An upstanding boy who was larger than the rest in his class but so correctly constructed. Lovely coat with tight, crisp curls. Standing on the best of feet and he moved foot perfect.
2 & RBOB Courtier’s Maycourt Stairway to Heaven JW Really liked this girl and initially, thought she was going to be my winner but she completely sagged in the last line up. She is well constructed fore and aft and moved nicely. Lovely coat and well muscled.
3 David & Bradstock’s Maycourt Kashmir con Redanimo
4 & BP. Riva’s Tessmene Rock That Look. Raw baby and it was a shame she had to compete with dogs much older than her. Lovely head though mouth needs to alter. Super coat, nicely constructed and moved well.
