City of Birmingham 2024 Judged by Mr K Berry
I would like to thank all the exhibitors for this wonderful entry which I have to say was high in quality. A slight area of concern would be the number of gay tails which unfortunately does distract from the outline of the dog on the move. On the plus side, I found no dogs with dallyrash. I would also like to thank my stewards who kept things running smoothly.

1 Neath-Coyne & Baker Ch Buffrey Incognito By Dalleaf JW VW this was my star of the day. One I’ve always admired and it was a pleasure to go over the dog today. He did not disappoint, so well balanced with good muscle tone, steady mover and in good condition. He belies his age. It was my pleasure to award him the DCC which I was told was his 37 CC.

(5, 0) this was a difficult class all seemed rather unsettled.
1 Richards Hafwenna Just As Sane As I Am. The winner was a well-defined black spotted bitch, who showed great potential. She had good muscle tone. For all unsettled, she moved soundly around the ring.
2 Wareham & Wylde Tamilanda Gold Standard At Dotsadaisy this is a lovely puppy with liver spotting. Her size and balance were correct, another one just needs to settle down, which will come with maturity.
3 Smith Tockica First Love For Spotamour

1 Alexander Offordale Santtini a super black bitch of great quality that was so well-balanced, excellent head quality with well set ears with a long elegant arch neck. Shoulders were well laid back with good body proportions. I was happy to award her the RBCC which I understand gives her, her crown, much to the delight of her owner and the ringside.
2 Stocks Nospar's Gin And Tonic JW a smart liver bitch of great breed type and quality. An outstanding personality, most style around the ring.
3 Pickup Dotlun English Rose At Roadcoach

OB
(8, 2) this was a strong class as one would hope for a real depth of quality.
1 White Ch Sophtspot La De Da At Belsmard ShCEx black bitch with good decoration on the sleek coat. Her overall balance was very impressive with a pleasing head and moderately set eyes of the correct colour. A fairly long arch neck with correct lay back of shoulder. Her elbows were set close to her body. She retained a perfect topline whilst on the move with correctly carried tail. Her movement was powerful with a long stride. I was delighted to award her the BCC and BOB and delighted to hear she was third in a very strong Utility Group. Interestingly, apparently, I gave this bitch a minor puppy bitch class at one of her first shows, pleased to see she fulfilled her early promise.
2 Finlay Dvojica Excuse My French At Dalfin JW this was another good typical example of the breed. Excellent shoulder placement. Moved around the ring effortlessly. Her crown shouldn’t be too far away.
