A beautiful setting and a bright sunny day made for a poignant and emotional start to the show when exhibitors joined me in the ring prior to judging in order to pay our respects to Russell Lamonby who so sadly passed away the weekend before. A great show of solidarity from the breed. From an entry of 40, 33 were present but, whilst quantity may not have been great, I was very pleased with the quality

1st RAGNAROK BALDER AT POLANCA (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Venerable red and white, 10 years old who still loves the ring and showed himself off beautifully. Strong, masculine head with arc, width, fill and turn, mouth is a full reverse scissor. Well balanced with a decent shoulder and good straight front, correct topline and well angulated quarters and showing like a bomb. I know I’m a damned softy but these old timers always bring a lump to my throat.

1st BLUEPOINT PATCHOGUE (MR & MISS M & A DODD & ROWLANDS)
Very typy and compact white, 11 months, beautiful head with a lovely sweeping arc, width, fill and turn and a perfect mouth. Good broad chest and deep brisket, his pasterns just need to tighten, decent shoulder and topline. Carrying good weight but a little out of coat, his rear action was just a little choppy. BP
2nd YOSHI KAWAII (MISS E J MEDLAM)
9 months old, a bigger, attractive, but less mature puppy without quite the power in head of the winner. Masculine, upstanding and good for bone, he moved reasonably well both ways.
Junior Dog Entries 4 Absentees 1
1st NEVERLAND DEVILS OWN (MRS D Y GODSALL)
Striking red and white who I liked a great deal in his class but who still looked a stripling against the big boys in the challenge. Upstanding, masculine and very well balanced with a lovely head, having arc, fill and turn, good expression, one tight canine and 2 incisors just level. Good straight front and deep chest, lovely shoulder and topline, with correct, well angulated quarters, he moved well both ways. One to watch.
2nd ELLAKRU ITS ALL ABOUT ME (MR & MISS D & G GAUSDEN & LADE)
Really attractive, well-marked brindle and white with a super, powerful and masculine head, having arc, width, fill and depth, mouth is correct. A little lack-lustre in the heat, he’s less mature than 1 and needs to body up all through, strong, broad chest, decent front, although pasterns need to tighten, a little long cast compared to winner but lovely strong quarters which he used well on the move behind.

1st BILBOEN GREAT DRAGONS SPY (MISS & MR S & M FOSTER & BICKER)
Really handsome, masculine and well marked, tiger brindle and white – great to see and I wish there were more of them. Very smart, fully mature with a beautiful strong head having arc, depth, width, fill and turn, mouth is perfect. Lovely neck, correct shoulders, strong forechest, straight front and correct top line into strong quarters which he used very well behind. Pushed hard in the challenge for RCC but I just preferred the extra power of the winner.

A difficult class to split and one I’ve gone back over many times in my mind
1st BULLYON BEYOND MEASURE (MR & MRS M B PHILLIPS)
White dog with a strong quality head, correct expression, 2 teeth level at the front and, to be picky, I’d have liked a little more width and fill. Not making the best of himself to start with, he did pull it together as the class went on, he’s a good front, decent shoulder and topline and, whilst none in this class were particularly strong on the move, he was the best in that department.
2nd UKUSA HELLACIOUS (MR & MRS R & E MUNDY)
At first glance this upstanding and attractive solid red dog was my class winner. Masculine with a lovely head in profile and a correct mouth, although I’d prefer more width and fill to complete the picture. Started off bang up on his toes and presented a lovely picture and was holding his topline, although the tail is rather high set, sadly as 1. Perked up, this lad started to sag in the heat and he was also pointing ‘downhill’ which spoilt his topline. After being placed he perked up nicely and pulled it back together – something for his handler to watch out for in future. Great condition and super bone and substance.
3rd IRAZISTABULL HADES UPSTART (MR & MISS D P & S MCDONAGH & MCLEISH)
Another big upstanding dog, black brindle and white with probably the strongest head of the class, although I’d prefer a better ear carriage. Lots of bone and substance he just failed for me in shoulder and topline.

1st DOFRO TJURPANNA STORMRIDER (MR & MRS D & L CATILINA)
White, a lovely typy, well balanced and masculine dog with a strong head, having a super profile, width, fill and depth along with a really varminty expression and a perfect mouth. Straight front – if I were nit-picking I could say his feet could be tighter, a good shoulder and super top line, his tail is a tiny bit high set but then again he was right up on his toes and full of it from start to finish! Broad chest, deep brisket and strong quarters which he used to advantage on the move. Expertly handled, I was thrilled to hear he’d gone Group 2 later in the afternoon. It’s always a blast to give a dog his first CC and I can’t believe his title can be too long in coming. DCC & BOB
2nd VETSBULLIES JESUS OF BRIDEN (MR & MRS B & D SMALLEY)
Dom always says I’ve a soft spot for a black dog and, indeed, I really liked this one! Attractive and masculine black brindle and white with an excellent strong head, correct, arc, width and fill, couple teeth just level and a good expression. Correct shoulder and topline, just slightly longer coupled than 1. but still well balanced with a lovely broad chest and a straight front although, again, feet could be tighter. Strong quarters, he moved well in both directions – had this boy been co-operating a little better with his over-worked handler he would have pushed 1. harder to the class and for the ticket. Pleased to award him RDCC
3rd BEEBEEMI GRANDMASTER FLASH (MISS DONNA MITCHELL)
Must be mentioned, strong, masculine and typy red and white dog, mature, powerful and the best mover of the day

1st EVANNASTAR STAR PARTY (MISS J MURRAY)
Pretty white, 2 year’s old and with elegant, sweeping lines, a good length of head, feminine with arc and fill, a good expression, mouth is a reverse scissor. Straight front, broad chest, deep brisket and good bone for size, she was neither trimmed not chalked but doing so would be well worth the effort as she is a quality little bitch

1st VILLENSIA VIRTUOSO (MISS L VILLENSIA)
Very pretty tricolour, beautifully marked and in fabulous textbook condition with a gleaming patent-leather black coat and lovely crisp white points. Beautiful head with arc, width, fill and depth and a correct mouth. Correct neck and shoulder with a straight front and broad chest, she moved quite well in both directions – in the final challenge she was just out gunned by the ‘va-va-voom’ of the winners. Well handled but a little more animation from her would get her on her toes and give her more sparkle. One to watch
2nd LOUKA MASKED MAIDEN (MISS K MALDEN)
A very pretty red and white whose coat and presentation – in contrast to the winner - need some attention if she’s going to achieve all she deserves. A lovely strong feminine head having arc, width and fill, mouth is correct. Good neck and correct shoulder and topline, outgoing showgirl, on her toes and making the very best of herself and moved well in both directions

White, full of quality with a lovely feminine head, having arc, width and fill and a correct good expression –well balanced with a straight front and good forechest, good depth of brisket, decent shoulder, topline and tail carriage. She moved quite well both ways but just wasn’t fully co-operating with her handler
2nd IRAZISTABULL STARING BACK AT GROUNDWORX (MR & MISS C & N WEST & JONES)
Close decision, a lovely white, different type to 1. Heavier weight with super bone and substance. Very strong yet feminine head with arc, width and fill, not quite the expression of 1. She showed steadily but her handler might want to try for a little more animation - get her up on her toes and bussing – this would just pull her shoulder and topline together more. Good broad chest and straight front she moved quite well both ways

1st KAISERBULL'S TOUGH LOVE AT KARMARA (MRS & MR R & T KARTA-WILLIAMS & WILLIAMS)
Upstanding white, presented in most beautiful condition and very well handled. Beautiful head in profile, a tad more width and fill would complete the picture – mouth has a couple of teeth level. Good bone for size and, whilst a big girl, she still retains femininity. On her toes and never flagging for a minute, she has a straight front, good shoulder and keeps her topline in place, moving well in front but rather close behind
2nd RAGNAROK BACK IN BLACK FROM POLANCA (MISS & MR L & T SHEPPARD & HOWES)
Black brindle and white who pushed hard, another lovely girl with a stunning head, having arc, width, fill and depth, mouth correct. Straight front and chest but not in such sparkling form as 1. And not quite holding her topline today. She moved well both ways
3rd RAGNAROK VINTER (MR & MRS M & A TAYLOR)

1st HELENA VOM TELTSCHIKTURM AT MEGAVILLE (IMP DEU) (MR & MRS P & A BLAIR)
Brindle and white another one presented in tip top condition, gleaming coat and just the right weight. Lovely feminine head with super arc and fill, good eye, one instanding canine. Compact and four-square with good bone for size she’s a strong, broad chest, gun barrel front, correct shoulder and topline, into strong quarters. Moved well both ways, covering the ground with ease. On her toes and expertly handled, I was very pleased to award her what I now understand is her 3rd and qualifying CC. BCC
2nd BILBOEN GLOWING GODDESS (MISS & MR S & M FOSTER & BICKER)
Beautiful typy white who I’ve long admired. Lovely feminine head with arc, width and fill and correct mouth, very well balanced with correct neck, shoulder and topline into strong quarters, she was the best mover in the class. Sadly she was rather distracted and not giving of her best today, RBCC
3rd TRICK OR TREAT MY HIGHLAND LASSIE O (ATCAT01532FRA) (MR F J A PARAZUELO)
Solid tricolour, another lovely girl, also well balanced and foursquare with lovely bone and a beautiful strong head, again correct arc, width and fill with a correct bite. For me, not so good on the move as first 2 and perhaps just needed a tad more weight today.
