Open Dog (1,0)
Lusty's Blamorder Audacity
Young tri, just coming up to two years old, he has a lovely outline and shape and a good depth of body, his head is clean and balanced with a lovely and correct placed eye, giving him a very ice expression. He was an easy mover with a good length of stride, shame he stood alone. BD

Post Graduate Bitch (2,0)
1st Hartleys Coneypark Dancing Queen at Jimjack
I have judged this lovely tri bitch before, she has matured, but couldn't get past her kennel mate today. She has a lovely outline and profile, really liked her head, balanced and clean, nice dark well placed eye and neat ears used well. Good length of neck and strong topline and depth of body, well muscled all through, could easily do a days work, shown in sparkling jet black coat with nice tan markings, moved out very well with head held high.

Richardsons Lizoni Va Va Boom
2nd Eye catching tri of 15 months appealed for her lovely outline and shape, her head is of a good length with the right amount of stop, dark eyes, and neat ears, when she shows them she has a lovely expression. She has a good reach of neck with well laid shoulder, nice straight front with enough substance for her size and a very happy girl on the move and another that could work all day.

Open Bitch (2, 2abs)

Veteran bitch
1st Ch Foxearth Finnish Spirit at Jimjack
This quality tri bitch is so feminine, she appealed for her breed type and for her elegant shape in profile. She is so balanced all through, she has a lovely moulded clean head, just enough stop, nice dark almond shaped eye, correct ear carriage giving a very pretty expression and she enjoyed showing herself off. She has a lovely length of neck and good angulation front and rear, with nice short hocks and neat arched feet, a good sound enthusiastic mover. BOB.RBIS.BVIS
