My first time awarding challenge certificates. I love the breed and its character but I feel many needed more ring training to be seen to advantage. Plenty of exhibits with good head, bone and substance. Angulation and feet and pasterns could be better. Only a few minor dentition faults. I enjoyed the experience thought provoking and a learning curve. Many thanks to my stewards Jill Sims and Sarah Portlock.

1st RAGNAR KING OF THE VIKINGS (MRS & MR K J & G J WOOD)
3 year old, brindle, needs to fill out. Good turn of foreface and good eye. Needs a little more front angulation. Jaunty mover. Tail carriage a little high.

1st KENTWONE BULLBERRYPIE (MISS T HARDING)
9 months tricolour – leggy and light at the moment and needs to drop in chest and develop substance. He has good rear angulation. Foreface is well filled but can be longer. Ears a little soft yet. His first show – enjoying it but needs schooling.

1st RIGHTSTUFF ACE (MR & MRS C J & J WRIGHT)
10 months here is a quality typy dog. White with eye patch. I liked his proportions, balance, bone and substance. Strong, well filled head with good downface. Excellent eye. Ears still need to firm up. Good rear angulation which he uses well. Needs more schooling but has great potential.

1st VETSBULLIES KILLING MUSIC (MR & MRS E & L ROBINSON)
Shapely 4 year old white who was a comfortable winner of this class. He has good bone and substance and very well angulated quarters giving good drive. Holds his topline well. Masculine well filled head. His front action could be cleaner
2nd MIINROC DARK INTENTIONS (MISS F MILLS)
2 years tricolour and not yet fully mature in body and lacking the substance of the winner. I liked his long downface, well filled to the end. Active, jaunty mover but can be tidier in the rear.

1st BLUEPOINT PATCHOGUE AT MIANDALE (MR & MRS M & A DODD)
4 year old white dog whose size and substance and shapely outline appealed. He was very good at both ends on the move and schooled to show this off. He has a masculine, well filled head and good ears but his eye is a little large so his expression could be keener. However, he had much to admire and pressed hard in the challenge.
2nd KIRKVILLE TOKYO JO (MR M YOUNG)
2 year old classy dog scored in his lovely length of downface and beautiful eye where he scored over the winner. His feet and pasterns could be better and this shows in his front movement let him down on the day.

3 year old brindle full size heavyweight in great muscular condition. A little long for balance but a beautiful head and eye and great chest and substance. True coming and going. I would like him a little more compact but movement and showmanship took him to DCC
2nd WHITE WIZARD OF STEEL AT BLAZINBULLYS (MR & MRS S & R MATHISON)
I loved the lines and balance of this dog but a real handful for handler and judge. When he settled he went well. I liked his shape, balance and head but on the move hard to assess and this lost him the CC. RDCC

1st MEILOW PURE GOLD (MR W KINDER)
11½ month brindle and white. Good bodied bitch with strong bone and good substance. Very good quarters. Good neck into shoulder. I would prefer a little more length in front of the eyes which is well turned and filled. Tails set a little hight. Good drive, can tighten up in front action.
Junior Bitch Entries 5 Absentees 2
Only 3 of them but any of them might have won the class as they were different in type and all full of quality.

Smallest of the three but everything in proportion and has very good bone and substance. Feminine, long well filled head with good eye and wears. Excellent movement. Scored in finish of chest to win this. Schooled to show off her quality. Made the last 3 and pressed hard. I’m sure she will have a good career.
2nd BLUEPOINT GOSHAWK (MISS & MR D & S HEATH & MORRIS)
14 months with lovely clean flowing lines. A little leggier than the winner in type so will take longer to be finished. Beautiful head and eye, just marred a little by ears which are a touch large. Very good mover. Should have a good career.

Strong head with long, well filled downface. Slight dentition fault but her qualities outweighed that for me. Not as feminine as winner.

2 year old red and white, middle of the road type and a real eyeful, a combination of quality and substance with a superb head and eye. Excellent rib and substance and a very good mover at both ends. Her feet are not her fortune but that pales alongside her quality and showmanship. CC and BOB and shortlisted in the group. BCC BOB
2nd OLLIEBRAD SONG BIRD (MR & MRS & MST M & K & O BRADLEY)
Excellent head and wicked expression and showed herself off well. Good bone and feet and ribcage. Well made and this shows on the move where she is good at both ends. Excellent quarters but her tail is set and carried a little high but full of quality. Her maturity and balance gave her the slight edge over the junior bitch to take the RBCC
