Judge’s Critique:

PD (1)
1 Clayton, VioletaBorboleta Jacques Du Moulin Du Paulu (IMP FRA): A very nice male puppy of black coat colour and of almost 12 months of age. When standing he produced a very good clean and balanced outline. The best of heads and expressions free of exaggeration, dentition correct, clean and complete, strong neck into well placed shoulders, straight firm topline which was held on the move. Feet round and neat. Well muscled hindquarters. When moving, he was both accurate and sound. A lovely young example of the breed, whose overall type and profile was excellent. Best Puppy In Breed and Reserve Dog Challenge Certificate.

1 Clack, & Battle-Hunter, & Eddery, KrisbosLeonidas With Molokain (IKC): Another very pleasing example of the breed that disappointed me in his overall movement. Pleasing head into strong neck, dentition correct, clean and complete, quality bone all through, very good forehand assembly. Ribs well sprung into strong loin, coat of good quality, moderate turn of stifle, on the move he was sound.

LD (1)
1 Stephens, B, Brightmeadow Rumour Has It: A black dog who was well presented and shown. Of pleasing overall type, lacked the quality and type of my first placed exhibit. Balanced, clean head with kind expression and eyes that blended with coat colour. Dentition correct, clean and complete. Strong neck, very good forehand assembly. Ribs well sprung, strong loin and good, muscled hindquarters with moderate bend of stifle. Moved soundly.

1 Hodson, Rowancurl Gentle Gaelor: A very impressive male of nearly 4 years of age. Up to size for me. Very good head, which is in proportion to his body size with brown nose. Strong muzzle, dentition correct, clean and complete, strong neck into well placed shoulder and return of upper arm, deep chest of good width, firm back and very good hindquarters with good width of second thigh, feet round and well padded. Moved at the correct speed accurately both fore and aft demonstrating and effortless but powerful gait. I was extremely pleased to award this male the Dog Challenge Certificate.

2 Parker-Miles, Sh Ch Tengore Mr Moonlight: I have always like this male for his overall size, type and balance. A worthy Champion without a doubt. He is free from exaggeration and completely balanced all through. Balanced wedge-shaped head well placed ears, dentition correct, clean and complete, beautiful clean neck that is slightly arched leading into good forehand assembly, deep chest of good width, moderate hindquarters – he is too straight in stifle for me – moved soundly and accurately.
