1st  Wray’s TAKHISIS TRICK OR TREAT 7 month jet black tri. No mistaking this is a male with a super expression. His head handles well, clean stop and good under jaw and rounded muzzle. Good shaped and placed eye. Jet black coat. Body balancing out well and has a good length of back for his proportions. Moved confidently just needs a little more drive to the rear.  BPD
2nd Everett’s ILEYDA JOHNNY DEPP  9mth old well coloured tri. Head handles well. Overall balance coming on well throughout with good angles. Moved well.

1st JD LANGMAN’s SHANDLMAIN CLOUDSHILL Came up from 4th in PG and had settled himself somewhat. Head handles well needs to clean a little in stop. Good ear placement. He is balanced throughout with a good lay of shoulder nice rise over his loin and well shaped stifle and good bone. Very clean blue colouring. He can move well when settled.
2nd Foster and Madge’s SHEP'S MOONDANCE WITH JAYSUR (IMP DNK) nicely put together tri. Head is coming on and has good ears but stop needs to clean out more. Moved well

1. Duffield's ANGELFIELD TAITTINGER Heavily coated Golden sable. His head was so clean with no exaggerations and good eye shape and placement giving a masculine yet sweet expression. He is carrying a dense coat at the moment but he felt well balanced. Great angulations to the shoulder well let down pasterns and he moved well. RBD
2. Copsey’s PHYLYDEN PRIDE OF SIMBA AT ROSHURA.  Shaded sable just coming back into coat. He has a lovely head piece, good rounded muzzle and firm under jaw, clean stop and appealing eye. Perhaps could do with a tad more angulation to the shoulder. Well let down pasterns giving him drive from the rear.

A class of very good movers
1.  Hull’s LIZMARK GOLD STANDARD. A balanced dog throughout, clean head and good ear carriage. Pleasing eye placement and expression. Smashing rich sable in very good coat. Powered round the ring on well let down pasterns and standing he has balance elegance and dignity. BD BOB
2. Mellish’s DEMELEWIS CATCHMYDRIFT. Clean head planes, good eye placement and neat ears carried well. He is a clean blue colour. He handles well from head to tail and he moved very well this coming from good angulations throughout. Good ring presence

PB my favourite class of the day, we have some super bitches coming through currently which is exciting.
1st Tame’s RAHLISSA LOVE SONG. Eye catching sable with no extremes evident. Head is cleaning out well and ear placement is good. Good sized and shaped eye. Correct angles to front and rear with plenty of neck. She moved well and confidently and showed non-stop. RBB BP
2nd. Hodges   RIVERSIDE SONG VENICE QUEEN AT JOPIUM. 11month old and finishing really nicely. Head is a dream to handle with just enough stop and nice eye shape and placement. When she uses her ears they are bang on top. She is balanced with a good lay of shoulder and turn of stifle. She was carefully hesitant on the move which cost her first place today.
3rd Ross’s RAHLISSA FAIRYTALE AT SAMSHERNIK

 1st Hodge’s RIVERSIDE SONG VENICE QUEEN AT JOPIUM
2nd Shipp’s PRINCE OF SUNLIGHT NAOMI Very pretty sable bitch. Appealing expression coming from a well placed and shaped eye and tight ears. Well rounded muzzle and nicely defined stop. Good shape overall with correct angulations and bone. She can move out but is carrying a tad too much weight.
3rd Whitaker’s ANIESH MISTY BLUE MOON OF SILUTO

1st Whitakers JOPIUM MAGICAL DREAM I have handled this jet black tri girl on several occasions and my opinion never changes, she is very appealing. She has a lovely expression with the darkest of eyes, well rounded muzzle and defined stop. Today she just needed to get those ears up a bit more. She has correct angles giving her a balance throughout and she moved so well. Was really torn for RBB.
2nd  Davies’  TIGANLEA SILVER TRINKET AT SABIHA Petit and dainty blue who really pulls the stops out. Her head handles well with a slight stop and good eye placement and tight ears. Perhaps needs a little more filling to her foreface. She has an overall good shape with good angles and moved out well

1st Duffield’s ANGELFIELD VEUVE CLICQUOT. Nicely coated appealing sable.  Very clean head pattern with no extremes. Good ear carriage when she put them up, pleasing expression.  Well balanced body throughout with good angulations giving her a lovely shape in profile. Her angulations and overall balance showed through in her effortless driving movement. BB
2nd Annable’s DANFREBEK MAGIC WILDSPICE Shaded sable. Clean head pattern with well placed and shaped eye. Ears just need to tighten a little. Overall pleasing shape with balance throughout and well let down pasterns. Moved well.
3rd Hull’s LIZMARK GOLD NUGGET
