Thank you for the excellent entry of 129 Dogs – and for a very interesting day. I found the bitches more uniform in type than the dogs, where it was harder to find the proportions I wanted allied to good movement and the clean reaching stride I look for. For my taste somewhat over-coated which takes form the lines and functional look. Any thanks to my stewards Jane Palmer and Richard Felton and special thanks to Steve Appleby who repaired by spectacles!
Best in Show and Best Puppy was NELLBROOK IMAGINATION who has star quality. Reserve Best in Show was the brown bitch MERRYTHORPE MISS SUNSHINE. Best Opposite Sex KILFINAN COUNTRY KNIGHT. Best Veteran the bitch NAVILLUS SPIRIT GUIDE.
Minor Puppy Dog (1)
1. Cornford's Aratika Silver by Nature
7 months excellent proportions and very good movement with long clean stride. Strong skull and foreface. Eye pigment could be slightly stronger but he is full of promise and pressed hard for BPD.

Post Graduate Dog 7(4)
1. Cater's Karmeliann Stargazer
2 ½ years blue, I would prefer a little more leg to improve his balance but scored decisively on the move. Very good ribcage and shoulder and correct leanness through the body which is where he scored over 2. Tail carriage a touch high but I likes his stride and head carriage.
2. Dumbrell's Mojo Majical Mystry for Bethlyntee
2 years lovely proportions on which he scored but I found him just a little heavy in body and wide in front on the day. Good skull, could have a little more stop. Couldn’t match the stride of the winner.
3. Phillip's Breaksea Cinemascope
Image: Nellbrook Unexpected for Pyesbridge
Limit Dog 6(2)

2. Sewell Pain & Garcia's FR Ch Victory Wind's Duncan McLeod
3 years winner standing – has the proportions and outline I look for. Quality head and eye. Croup a little flat and this showed on the move in his tail carriage which rather detracted from his outline.
3. Phillips' Breaksea Cinemascope
Minor Puppy Bitch 2(1)
