I would like to thank the committee and officers of the club for this invitation, particularly  Christine (Secretary) whose organization was excellent considering the timing of the situation throughout the day, and Marina McLaughlin, whose first class stewarding skills helped things run so smoothly.


MINOR PUPPY DOG (1)

  1.  Barron & Jenkins RANNALEROCH PERFECT STORM, 7 month blue merle with good reach of neck, good bone and pleasing head for age.  Correct eye and ear carriage.  Still needs to tighten on the move, but showed well for a youngster.  Would prefer him a better colour.

  2. Chaplain’s TAKHISIS LYSANDER.  Sable/white of good size, pleasing overall shape.  Would prefer him more refined in heat at this age.  Presented and moved well.
  3. White’s PHREELANCER PHEDERAL AGENT AT MEJOLA.

Boyle’s MONSOLANA ASPIRE TO DREAM OVER BARRENCLOUGH (naf/taf).  Tricolour with good body shape and good length, who covered the ground well on the move.  Pleasing head properties and very nice eye.  His ear set ruins the picture and if he would only use them better, it would enhance his chances.

NOVICE DOG (2)

  1. McCarte’s  R. RED ALL OVER.  Masculine s/w with good reach of neck and body shape. Moved freely and presented well.

GRADUATE DOG (1)

  1. Dix’s BARRENCLOUGH DIAMOND SKIES.  Not in the best of coats today and I felt he could be more positive on the move.  He as a pleasing head and eye.  Tighter ear carriage would enhance his chances.

POST GRADUATE DOG (5, 1)

  1. Cronk’s CHELBORN THAT’LL DO.  This tricolour has superb head qualities.   Well rounded muzzle, good underjaw, correct, well placed stop and a beautiful masculine eye and expression.  Good reach of neck and good depth and shape to body.  Moves freely.

Another tricolour with pleasing head properties.  Correct, well placed stop, correct dark eye and good ear carriage, giving the desired expression.  Good reach of neck and depth & length of body.  Moved and showed well, although I felt that once at the table, where he was more relaxed, he gave a far better picture of himself.
  3. McLarty’s PHREELANCER PHORTUNES LEAP

MID LIMIT DOG (4)

  1. Edwards’ STARLENGA HARRY POTTER FOR ELSHAJO.  S/w shown in excellent coat and condition.  Could be cleaner in head and I would prefer less depth of skull.  Pleasing eye and good ear carriage.  Masculine in conformation and well boned.  Showed and presented himself well.

  1. Congdon’s CH/FR CH. JUGBAND BLUES DU CLOS DE SEA-WIND VIA AARONWELL (IMP.FRA).
