JD (4,1a)
1 Neath-Duggan & Baker’s Buffrey Incognito by Dalleaf, a beautifully balanced dog who showed his socks off & moved soundly. Quality head with a lovely expression, & a nicely arched neck that flowed well through the shoulders into a good topline. Good depth of body with nice tight elbows. Nicely muscled quarters with a good second thigh, well let down hocks & good tight feet. Well marked, he filled the eye both standing & on the move & while he is still to fulfil his full potential, I felt he deserved the CC today;
2 Carter’s Tyrodal Genesis, a typy liver making a pleasing outline. Good body depth & correct topline & well developed quarters. OK markings but not quite the bend of stifle or movement of 1;
3 Green & Sears’ Boschendal Simply Red at Judally.

Good deep body, level topline, good bend of stifle with well let down hocks & good tight feet. Nicely marked, he moved well although he did suffer an episode of, what I’m told is, reverse sneezing, he recovered in time to win the class & showed absolutely no sign of it in the challenge. RCC;
2 Alexander’s Ch Offordale Chevalier, one who I liked as a junior & who has done a great deal of winning since. I still like him very much but felt that 1 was more settled on the move today & so had a tidier front action & a slightly better balance;
3 Dodds & Pearson’s Kelevra What The Dickens.
MPB (8,1)
1 Cuthbertson’s Ellemstra Little Mix with Kalsidoni, every so often a baby appears that not only fill the eye but also makes one tingle inside & this was one of those babies. Beautifully marked & making a lovely balanced outline, I loved her head & expression, her good, deep body, correct topline & strong bone. Nicely balanced in angulation, with well let down hocks & nice tight feet. She moved soundly & showed well. I did consider her for the RCC but felt she is just not ready. BP;

3 Dodds & Pearson’s Ir Ch Kelevra Classic Cliché.
VB (6,1) I would particularly like to thank exhibitors for bring these veterans. The class was full of quality & in many respects, the most difficult to sort out.

Super head & expression, lovely flow of neck through well placed shoulders into a level topline. Good, deep body with tight elbows. Strong bone & nicely angulated rear with neat hocks. Well marked, she moved & showed well. BV;
