Veteran Dog (3entered,0 absentee)
1st  Hayward Mr. T & Mrs B.  Ch Foxearth Fletch.
8 year old Blue Merle. This dog is no showing fool but when he does decide to pull himself together and show of his many virtues he cannot be overlooked. He has a lovely wedge head, good foreface correct stop and flat skull, dark almond eye and good ear carriage giving desired expression. Good length of neck and his front angulation is as good as it gets giving desired depth of chest. Good bend of stifle. Not moving at his best today but deserved the Reserve CC for his overall type. BVD
2nd  Miss A Lusty. Blamorder Bring Him Home
9 year old tricolour. I’ve always admired this dog for his lovely construction and proportions. He has well filled foreface good stop and flat skull but a little bit wider in skull than I would like. Arched sloping neck into well laid back shoulder and upper arm , depth of chest, level topline and desired bend of stifle. I just preferred the head pattern of 1st. Two lovely dogs.

1st Miss A Lusty. Blamorder Masterpiece.
Blue Merle of good colour. Lean wedge head , good foreface, dark almond eye, ears could be tighter. Good angulation for his age, just needs to tighten in topline. BPD
2nd Ms C Robertson  Coldelee New Kid in Town.
Sable. Wider in Skull than 1st, well rounded muzzle and dark almond eye, ears a little wayward at the moment. Good length of neck and well constructed. He is not a showman and has to be handled to be appreciated and with time I hope he will enjoy it more.

Sable. Liked this dog for his type and proportions. He has a masculine head of correct length,  arched neck,  level topline and bend of stifle. Well laid back shoulder but a bit short in upper arm. His front pasterns are rather upright at present but he is very young and is still to mature.
