Junior Dog

1 ARMADIO AGAINST THE WIND 10months tan and white of lovely balance with sufficient ground clearance and strong legs and feet. Masculine head which needs time, and good eyes. Ears could be finer. His well angulated rear gives him plenty of drive. He is not yet fully developed in chest but he is full of quality and should have a good future.
2 X-TORWANDERER BREENBRASS 10 months tan and white 14 months red and white who is full of confidence and goes round the ring with a strong topline and good tail carriage. Good skull and head proportions and good eyes. A little upright in front assembly which produces a rather short stride but he is sound at both ends. Ribs could be carried further back.
3 KENZDUO SHORE

Yearling Dog

1 MALRICH HENDRICKS 23 months tri who was carrying too much body which detracted from his outline and balance. A strong masculine dog whose head could be a little more refined and has maximum stop. His front assembly is a touch upright and could have smoother flow into withers. Excellent bone and strong feet and sound at both ends.
2 DIHEATH MACARAMAC 21 months tan and white who is a heavier dog all through and less weight would give him more ground clearance. Not happy in the ring today and hard to assess his movement.

Graduate Dog

1 CLANWILLOW BACK TO TH FUTURE 18 months quality dog in great condition and is full of type in head which is well shaped and balance, some dome and prominent occiput, fine ears and tight eye rims. Well angulated at both ends giving good stride. Can fill out a little in chest and body yet but he should have a very good future.
2 ENGUERRAND’S MY MONTAGUE 24 months with quality refined head and good bone and feet. A little long for balance and this shows in his topline. Needs a little more confidence on the move

Post Graduate Dog

1 DIHEATH JERRY LEE LEWIS 3year old tri who carries himself with confidence and holds a strong topline supported by a long ribcage. Very good for balance and ground clearance and stands on well boned legs and strong feet. Front assembly a little forward placed so his front reach could be better. Head of good length but a little broad in brows. sound at both ends. Has quality and shown in good form

Limit Dog

1 LOCKOLEA ROCKETMAN 3 years tan and white who appealed a lot for his balance and very good movement. Refined, well shaped head and excellent eyes. Sufficient ground clearance. Ribbed well back. His tail set could be just a little higher. Good bone but his front feet could be a little stronger. Carried himself well. Head qualities and eyes won him the reserve CC in the challenge.
2 CLANWILLOW THE EMERALD KING, Pressed the winner hard. 2 year old tri in superb condition and another of top quality from this exhibitor. Full of type but not as finished in body and chest as the winner but a good prospect for the future.
3 WELLSBAYVIEW SORRENTO 

Open Dog -  an excellent class

1. CH ARMARDIO FIRESTARTER 5 year old who appealed instantly for outline and carriage on the move. He is a handsome, masculine dog with plenty of substance without any surplus and shown in fit muscular condition, never losing his topline and really driving round the ring from strong hocks. Masculine quality head which could be a little more refined at the brow but good length in muzzle and excellent eyes. Sufficient neck and ground clearance and superb coat and skin. Didn’t put a foot wrong on the move and has excellent legs and feet. CC and Best in Show.
2. BLEVWIL KENNY DEWITT CAN 2 year old tri who is exemplary in his body proportions, ground clearance, strong legs and wonderful feet, with excellent coat and skin. His movement and topline and carriage are beautiful. I preferred the head, and eyes of the two that I placed above him on the day.
3. SUMMER OF LOVE OLEA BULLS AT SASSILAY

Special Beginners Dog

1 KENZUO SHORE, 14 months tri who needs a little more size and finish of body; looks a real teenager at the moment. His head needs time. Sound movement but needs more schooling for the showring.

Veteran Bitch

1 KIMBLEHOE IME DREAMKEEPER AT RUMBLETON this 7 year old tan and white bitch stood out here for her sound and free action on the move. She has a feminine head of good proportions, very good eyes and is well put together throughout. She would look even better with a little less weight on her but she has good ribcage and excellent coat and skin. A lovely quality sound veteran free from any exaggeration and wonderfully sound at both ends which won her BEST VETERAN.
2 NEGUS CINNAMON SPICE... 7 year old tri of lovely size and proportions. Really beautiful head with fine draped ears and good eyes. A good mover. I preferred topline and underline of winner.
3 CH WILL O’THE WISP...this lovely 10 year old tri bitch looked my winner on the stack but she was not moving quite evenly in front on the day. A pit

Minor Puppy Bitch - A good class full of promising puppies.

1 BROMWYLVA COOKIE DOUGH- 8 months old who is very houndy and I loved her proportions especially her length of leg and ground clearance which is just right for her age. She is of good length with good ribbing. Can firm up in topline now. Really good legs and strong feet. She has a lovely refined head, fine ears and good eyes. Very good movement at both ends. Her balance and movement took her to best puppy bitch; the dog puppy was firmer in topline and that separated them on the day. A very good prospect.
2 DEVONHOUND WHO’S THAT GIRL 9 months on the day, a bigger stamp of hound full of quality. I would prefer her a little shorter for perfect balance. Not as co-ordinated on the move as the winner. It will be interesting to see how she develops; she has a lot of potential.
3 ROAMANBAY RED HOT PEPA SAUCE

Puppy Bitch

1 WOFERLOW FOOLISH AND PLEASURE AT HARVIDENE 10 months tri in excellent condition with lovely coat and skin. I liked her head qualities in skull shape, length and fine ears and good eyes . She has a good forechest and ribcage. At the moment she runs up in topline and needs a little more confidence on the move.
2 BROMWYLVA RASPERRY RIPPLE 8 months tan and white of heavier type, not helped by carrying too much weight. She is strongly built with good bone. Shows maximum haw. Needs more confidence on the move Her young handler tried hard with her and both will benefit from more experience and some training for the show ring.

Junior Bitch

1 YIN THE A STORY WITH A TAIL at 8 months she was the baby of the class but she is a lovely puppy full of quality and potential. Makes a lovely outline and is well constructed at both ends and well webbed back. Beautiful feminine head. She drove well from her hocks and holds her topline well. Not yet finished in front. I hope she will come up a little on the legs as she grows on. Pressed hard for best puppy bitch where I preferred the balance and front action of the minor puppy class on the day.
2 WHINEYBROW HER MAJESTY AT HARVIDENE 13 months red and white with striking outline and good ground clearance. Her clean, feminine head and fine ears appealed greatly good eyes good bone and feet. She is well ribbed back but needs to let down generally to fill her frame. She could have a little more angulation in rear to let her down in quarters and topline. Lovely carriage.
3 ARMARDIO CANDLE IN THE WIND

Yearling Bitch - not an easy class
1 DALPATRICK KAYDEE, 20 months tan and white the best for movement and topline in the class, despite carrying too much weight which accentuates that she is a touch short in her body for perfect balance. I would prefer a little more length to her head. However, had the movement and carriage to win this class for me.
2 ALL ABOUT EVE ETES MAISON 12 months openly marked tri, a complete contrast to the winner as in her teenage stage she looks too long and will be more balanced when she fills out. She is well ribbed back, has good bone, feet and sound action. Scored in topline and movement to win this place
3.CLANWILLOW FUTURE DREAMS

Limit Bitch

1 SWITHERLAND FINAL CHASE AT STOKEWOOD headed a good class here. This 4 year old tan and white who is very well made at both ends and this gives her very good movement. Excellent feminine head with parallel planes, good ribcage. I would prefer a little less wrinkle on front legs. Scored in her front action here.
2 CLANWILLOW CENTENARY DREAM 4 year old tri with a really beautiful headpiece lovely eyes and expression and she is very well put together. She pressed very hard here.
3 LOCKOLEA CIRCLE OF LIFE

Open Bitch - best class of the day for depth of quality.

1 CH LAURALEE KIND OF MAGIC 4 year old in excellent firm condition. I like her proportions, ribbing and topline. Her angulation gives her good stride and she carries herself well although her tail carriage is a little too curved. lovely bone and feet. Feminine quality head and good eyes. Maximum skirt for my taste but the overall picture pleased me enormously and she won the CC.
2 CH PERFECT PEACH V GRUNSVEN 2 year old tan and white who is full of quality ad type. A very good mover. Appealed for her substance. ribbing, free from exaggeration. A little lower set than the winner but I like her a lot. Reserve CC.
