Thank you to the exhibitors for the lovely entry, there were quite a few that I would have been happy to award a CC to, such was the quality and some decisions were close. It was a memorable day for my first CC appointment with a great atmosphere, I think in general movement has improved a lot since I last judged the breed at the Limited Show.
VD (2)
1 Baumann, Multi Ch Regalflight Tarloch. 7 and a half year old light grey brindle who moves like a youngster, I liked his type and he is presented in good hard condition, very balanced and good angulation front and rear, he clearly has a good attitude to showing and gives his all. Well boned with the best of heads, I would like more arch over the loin, topline tends to flatten on move, well defined underline Best Veteran.
2 Wilkinson, Sireadh Chase. Another very worthy veteran of similar age, half brother to winner but not the forehand construction, good bone, his head is lovely, good topline and croup, he moved well and has strong hindquarters but would prefer more length to second thigh.

1 Peach, Tiobraid Solo Venture To Kilbourne. Very sound and free moving dark grey brindle puppy of 10 months, excellent head with dark eye and neat ears, balanced angulation front and rear, good coat and well off for bone with excellent topline, very promising just needs to deepen in chest. Best Puppy.

1 Peach, Kilbourne Lloyd. Typical young male of 13 months, looking quite finished for age, excellent coat and well balanced, super head with dark eye, ears well set, neck is strong, shoulder is well laid with good return of upper arm. Topline is good and falls nicely away over croup and he has well angulated hindquarters. Moves well in all directions.
2 McKenzie, Ardneish Picotin. Youngster of 13 months, he needs to settle, very raw in comparison to winner, he needs to develop in chest and is lacking co ordination on the move. I liked his head, eye and well placed rose shaped ears, he will take time.
