1ST Cox’s, Jadenburg Apollo From Zeloviak, 10 year old black and rust, bang on standard size of 27 inch’s, know this dog virtually all it’s life yet I have never had the pleasure to have gone over him before, I have always liked him for type, shape and construction, Still retains a nice shape in profile stood, compact and square, nice bone,  just going a bit weak in front pastern which also shows up on the move, still has drive from the rear. Best Veteran Dog.

2ND Gallagher’s, Marcavie The Gambler, 7 year old black and rust, long masculine head, clean cut, scissor bite, dark eye showing a bit of haw, muscular neck, withers very pronounced into topline that slopes to steeply nice depth of chest and tuck up, ample bone with straight front legs viewed, well shown, I can remember judging him in a working group two years ago at an open show but I don’t remember him being entered in the breed class’s under me before. Nice dog were all getting no younger.

1ST Ingram’s, Jojavik Mafioso, 11month old black and rust, a handsome boy that has a clean outline giving a lovely silhouette in profile, clearly not the biggest but developing steadily and nicely, head of good length and shape, scissor bite, neck of good length well carried flows into withers and  topline, ribs well sprung an deep, forechest developing,  front legs viewed straight with good bone and compact feet, well angulated quarters, well presented and moved out well. Best Puppy Dog and with agreement Best Puppy in Show.

2ND Todd’s,Supeta’s Feelin Hot Hot Hot At Toffarbach, 11 month old black and rust, taller than one but certainly not the biggest in this class, has elegance and nobility, head of nice proportions and length, scissor bite, dark brown almond eye, neck of good length, high withers into firm back slightly sloping, lots of daylight underneath should improve as he matures, you present him well and everything in the right place, just unlucky to meet the winner today.

Junior Dog, 6 entries ( 1 absent )

1ST Mackintosh-White’s, Leibwache Mad Hatter, 12 month old brown and rust, head long and clean cut, scissor bite, brown almond shaped eye, ears set high, clean neck into firm back, very short coupled loin that needed trimming off weight so you have a defined waist and helps flexibility and power on the move, ribs deep to elbow, front legs straight with good bone and tight feet, played handler up and needed a firm hand, moved well once settled.

2ND Mitchell’s, Bosskat Illusionist, 16 month old black and rust, head of good length with good depth of muzzle, scissor bite, strong neck into firm back, overdone for me in body, brisket down past elbow and sternum extending back giving mild tuck up, front legs parallel stood with ample bone and cat-like feet, muscular rear quarters just requiring a bit more bend of stifle, well presented and moved steady

3RD Griffiths, Amious Ruff Diamond.

Yearling Dog, 4 entries.

1ST Millward’s, Nearctic Jack Spicer, 23 month old black and rust, masculine wedge shaped head, strong underjaw, scissor bite, dark almond eye, in profile this boy has a classic body shape and nice angulation, an honest dog just let himself and me, down today with to much weight over loin which I forgave today. Get his condition right as he is worthy of top honours, positive mover well shown.

2ND Trystorm Zhivargo JW, black and rust, no Owner or age details in catalogue but he must be coming up to 2 years old as he is docked. Not the biggest or strongest of boys, just a neat package that’s not overdone in any department, head of medium length with a mellow expression, scissor bite, profile outline is harmonious just noticeably rounds over croup,
ample bone with front legs straight and parallel viewed, elbows close to brisket, ribs well sprung, short loin, stifle well bent, free mover.

1ST Pickup & Childs, Doberlane Irish Cream, 2 year old black and rust, big powerful lad all male that has a strong masculine head, scissor bite, strong neck, firm back, front legs viewed straight, stands on compact feet, not a flashy dog just an honest type, more accustomed to what was about twenty five years ago, that said he probably goes back to a bitch I gave a CC to ten years back, CH, Estridge Sobiety of Doberlane moved out and presented well.

2ND Downie’s, Knecht Svengall, 2 year old black and rust, the head is the first part you meet and tells a lot on initial approach, this boy would benefit from a more masculine stronger head to suit his body size, which up to correct size with nice shape being depth and spring of rib, good coupling, tail well set, medium bone, well angulated front assembly, would benefit from a bit more bend of stifle to complete the picture, expertly presented.
