Judge’s Critique:

Puppy Dog 4,2
1st Kear & Morrey’s Foxriever Infinite Spirit (ai) 10 ½mths. Liver. Good for size and bone. Lovely head piece with good skull and ear. Nice eye and expression. Strong neck into good shoulders, nicely angulated front and rear. Good ribbing and loin, good tail set and carriage. Topline needs to strengthen. Very nice on the move. BPIB
2nd May’s Foxriever Dragon Heart (ai) Litter brother to 1 with much the same applies. Lovely head with nice eye and expression. Better topline and balance than his brother and has a good turn of stifle. However, needs to settle on the move and grow in confidence. Very promising.

Junior Dog 2,0
1st Clack & Clack & Batlle-Hunter & Eddery Krisbos Leonidas with Molokain (IKC) 13mths. Black. Good for size and balance. Lovely head piece, good skull and ears which are set, and carried nicely. Nice eye, good expression. Strong neck, good front with nice ribbing and loin. Topline and tail set are good, as is his rear. Lovely movement in profile but would like his movement more parallel on the up and down. RBD
2nd Kear & Morrey’s Foxriever Infinite Spirit (ai) – Repeat

1st Stephens’s Brightmeadow Rumour Has It JW Met this young lad previously and he didn’t disappoint today. 20mths. Black. Nice for size and balance. Lovely head and skull, good eye and expression. Nice muzzle with good dentition. Good, strong, neck, nice shoulders and correctly angulated front and rear. Good tailset and carriage. Topline could be a tad tighter but moved with such accuracy, both in profile and up and down. BD
2nd Edworthy’s Brightmeadow Man of Steel Much larger in type, with a lot of bone. Big head but nicely balanced, pleasing skull, and forehead with good eye. Nice front and rear angulation, well ribbed. Nice turn of stifle but needs to settle on the move.

Nice width throughout, good neck. Good spring of rib, good tailset, and nice in rear angulation. Nice profile movement but a touch close in rear.
2nd Edworthy’s Maycourt Heartbreaker 4yrs. Black. Big lad but balanced. Head is okay, nice skull although a touch too much stop for preference. Good neck, nicely angulated front and rear. Nice body. Profile movement isn’t quite as good as 1.

Veteran Dog 1,0
1st Baines & Hawley-Clarke’s Karnawalowy Drink Z Basisfory (Imp Pol) 7yrs. Liver. Nice for size and bone. Head isn’t his fortune for me, a touch jowly. A shade too wide in front but is nicely ribbed with good loin. Topline is okay. Nice tail set and carriage. Nice turn of stifle, and whilst sound, he could do with more reach and drive. BVIB

Nice neck and good width of front. Good ribbing and loin, nicely angulated front and rear. Good topline with nice profile movement. RBB
2nd Perkins Maycourt Miss Sweetness at Tengore 2yrs. Black. Bigger bitch, and squarer. Good head piece although a touch too much stop for my preference. Nice neck. Well ribbed, good topline and tailset. Would like a little more definition in hock but overall is pleasing in profile.
