PD (1,1)

PB (2,1)
1st. Cole & Fort’s Shulune Imperial Rum Punch. 10mths and what a super youngster. Lovely shape with correct head planes with slight stop, dark eyes and well set and carried ears. Very well made forequarters with well laid shoulders and good forechest. Straight front and correct feet. Good rear angles and what a super mover, true fore and aft with correct convergence, then smooth and effortless in profile. One with hopefully a bright future. Best Puppy in Breed then later out moved the lovely Rough bitch to take Best Puppy in Show.

J D/B (4,2)
1st. Martin’s Sturtmoor Arceus’s Legacy JW. 14mth Sable D presenting a super outline with a classic head, flat skull and slight stop, dark eyes and well set ears. Well arched neck into well laid shoulders with return of upper arm and good forechest. Deep well sprung ribs, level back to a nicely angulated rear. Truest of movers from all angled.
2nd Tiranti’s Breckamore The Alchemist. 17mth Blue Merle D. Slightly heavier build than my winner but not to detract. Correct head planes, ears ok but often held back. Well laid shoulders, good return of upper arm and straight front. Level back to a moderate rear that is very well muscled. Moved well, smooth with good reach and drive. Not as clean in front as 1.

PG D/B (6,3)
1st. Rodgers’ Blamorder Mischief Maker With Jerdoni. 22Mth Sable D. Loved his outline, size and shape. Classic head with flat skull and correct ears. Dark eyes and a slight stop complete the picture. Good length of neck to well laid shoulders and nice forechest. Straight front and correct feet. Level back over deep well-sprung ribs. Correct rear with turned stifle, super mover from all angles. Reserve Best Dog
2nd Riva’s Manordeifi Rock On. 4yr Sable D. Another with nice outline and a good head with dark eyes, ears a little wider. Well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm. Deep well sprung ribs under a level back. Well angled rear, moved lovely going away and in profile, not as clean in front.
3rd Moores’ Blamorder High Hopes For Manordeifi

LD (4,0)
1st. Martin’s Shandlmain Blu Chief. I liked the outline, size and shape of this 5yr Blue Merle. Another with a good head. Well made forequarters with good return of upper arm, nice bone and straight front. Level back over deep well-sprung ribs. Moderate rear but well muscled with a correct tailset and carriage. True driving mover.
2nd Seager’s Blamorder Magic Maker With Freejack JW. 22mth and another of good type and shape with a lovely head and well set ears. Well made forequarters with well laid shoulders. Well sprung ribs through to a well angled rear. Another good mover.
3rd Riva’s Manordeifi Rock On Res Warren & Lusty’s Coldelee Jupiter Rises With Blamorder JW

LB (3,1)
1st. Jerrett’s Coldelee Eternal Sunshine JW. 2yr Sable. What a lovely lady, super clean outline with a classic head of correct shape and planes. Well set and carried ears. Well arched neck into well laid shoulders and good forechest. Level back over deep well-sprung ribs to a well angled rear. Lovely easy mover, true fore and aft with reach and drive.
2nd. Moores’ Manordeifi Rose Blossom Feminine 4yr old. Another lovely head with flat skull, dark eyes and well set ears. Well made forequarters and straight front with good bone. Level back through to a moderate rear. Moves well but spoils her outline by dropping her head.

OD (1,0)
1st. Wensley’s Ch Constella Hazy Cosmic Jive JW. What can I say about this 4yr old Tri D that hasn’t probably been said before. Typey dog of good size and shape with a lovely head. Flat skull, correct planes, shallow stop, dark eyes and well set ears. A straight, well boned front, well laid shoulders and return of upper arm, deep well sprung ribs under a level back. Excels on the move, so true fore and aft with correct convergence, so easy with lovely reach and drive, so fluid. A pleasure to award him Best Dog and Best of Breed.

OB (2,0)
1st. Benton’s Ch Brackenhaye Queen Of Hearts Of Oakestelle. 4yr Tri. Another presenting a lovely outline on the stand. Lovely head of good shape with shallow stop and dark eyes, flat skull and super ears. Excels in forequarters with straight front, well laid shoulders, return of upper arm and good forechest. Well sprung ribs under a level back, short loin to a correctly angled rear. Super mover, true with reach and drive.
2nd Moores’ Blamorder Ridin On A Rainbow To Manordeifi. A 6yr old oTri of good shape but carrying a few extra pounds today. Pleasing head and expression. well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm, deep well-sprung ribs. Moderate rear and moved well in profile.

V D/B (4,1) For me this was the best class with 2 top quality bitches. A very close decision between them hence why they ended up BB and RBB
1st. Benton’s Oakestelle Artemis ShCEx. 7yr Blue Merle B. Very feminine presenting a super outline on the stand. Lovely head of correct shape, slight stop, dark eyes and correct planes. Excels in forequarters, straight front with good bone, well laid shoulders and return of upper arm. Level back over deep well-sprung ribs. A well muscled and well angled rear. Super mover, so true fore and aft with correct convergance, Free and fluid with reach and drive in profile and it was this movement that was the final deciding factor to split these 2. Best Bitch, Reserve Best of Breed and Best Veteran in Breed. Then ultimately she went on to win Best Veteran in Show
2nd. Lusty’s Ch Blamorder Ice Cream Dream. 8yr Blue Merle B. Very similar in outline to the winner just a little more of her. Another with a super head and lovely ears, dark eyes and correct planes. Very well made forequarters but not quite the forechest of 1st. Well sprung ribs under a level back. Strong loin to a well angled rear. One of the best moments was watching these two go round together, both so effortless with an easy gait that just ate up the ground. Reserve Best Bitch
