I would like to thank the committee for the opportunity to judge bitches here today. As a third choice judge I thank the previous two judges and wish them well, and thank them for their entry here today. Thank you also to the exhibitors who showed their dogs today and were sporting in my decsions 

Veteran 5, 3abs 1 st Burrows Jobeka Just A Jewel at Dilworthey 10 years of age, pleasing head and expression, clean through the neck and over the shoulders, super bone and front assembly, correct body length and super quarters shown in good coat, just starting to lose her top line on the move 2 nd White Jobeka Just A Jem at Forbendale, 10 ½ years cream bitch, pleasing expression, a little throaty and carrying a little too much weight here today, well off for bone and standing on good feet. 

Minor Puppy 11, 5 abs 1 st & BPB Dunbar Linirgor Beauly, 8 month sweet feminine expression with good pigment, kind eye and expression. Coat of mid colour, clean through the neck and shoulders leading to good bone and feet. Correct body proportions and such a positive mover. Shown in very good coat and condition, surely has a bright future. 2 nd Nelson Cadwst Eternal Flame, another 8 month darker bitch with lovely expression and correct pigment, well off for chest and bone, well bodied with strong quarters, presented well. 3 rd Drury Gunhills Echoes Of Time over Bencoe

Junior 12, 6abs 1 st & RCC Lewis Merida Waleczna Zlota at Dasmaks (Imp Pol) 17 month light coloured bitch showing type and quality, the best of balance and construction. Sweet feminine head and excellent black pigment, kind eye, intelligent expression, strong neck and well placed shoulders, plenty of fore chest, well bodied and strong through the loin, super quarters and correct top line standing and on the move. Well boned and moved straight and true and showed great reach and drive in profile. 2 nd Birkin-Green Sansue Lovestruck JW, lovely type not the expression of the winner for me, smaller eye and not the substance I was looking for here today, super body and quarters, needs to be stretched out more when standing, moved ok 3 rd Woods Amirene Devine 

Yearling 13, 4abs 1 st CC & Res BIS Zubair Thornywait Cassiopeia JW dark coloured bitch that appealed for her beautiful head type and overall balance, such a pleasing feminine expression and correct pigment. Well angulated shoulders, the best of bone and feet. Pleased for body proportions, good length of body, correct top line and tail set, super quarters and well developed second thigh which she used to advantage on the move. Moved very soundly in all directions and shown in good condition with excellent coat. I wish her well in her quest for her title. 2 nd McDonald Lamancha New Adventure JW, pleasing type of cream, lovely bone and feet, preferred the pigment of the winner, super chest and top line, needs to tighten in front movement 3 rd HazeltonCailoch Sitka 

Maiden 10 1 st Dunbar Linirgor Beauly, see above 2 nd Nelson Cadwst Eternal Flame, see above 3 rd Seamons Messano Kiss Me Now 

Novice 9, 4abs 1 st Dunbar Linirgor Beauly, see above 2 nd Seamons Messano Kiss Me Now, see above 3 rd Easton & Turner Amilone Spirit Of The Stone 

Undergraduate 13, 5abs 1 st Seamons Messano Kiss Me Now, see above 2 nd Cook Calarose Precious Gem, pleasing colour, enough bone, needs to settle on the move, deep through the chest, well bodied and strong loin, lovely quarters and presented well. Level top line on the move but relaxes it when stood. 3 rd Easton & Turner Amilone Spirit Of The Stone 

Graduate 5, 3abs 1 st Clunie Warrentor Caipirinha, dark colour with super pigment, pleasing expression if being critical a little too much substance and her feet were a little on the large size for me. , saying that she had good reach of neck leading to well placed shoulders, well bodied and super top line, good quarters, presented and moved well. 2 nd Wheeldon Thornywait Viva La Vida for Catnnels, lighter coloured bitch, and her muzzle was a little too long in my opinion which detracted from her expression, good shoulder placement and well bodied, presented well and handled sympathetically would have liked a little more substance and more of a positive stride. 

Post Graduate 9, 5abs 1 st Ives Trewater Busy Lizzie, lovely type of cream, pleasing expression but lacking in pigment here today, super bone and feet, she is a balanced bitch of good breed type, super through the chest and ribs, correct length of loin, strong quarters, moved very well, shown and presented correctly. 2 nd Duke Quakerhall Royal Bounty at Cadellard, similar attributes as winner, correct size, bone and coat, moved very well in front, not the rear movement as the winner, super angles and presented well 3 rd Nelson Willowlawn Devon Belle at Cadwst
