1st Taylor’s Patouche Jais. This 4yr B is the opposite end of the scale, Bottom size and well proportioned. A little fine in muzzle. Good Neck and forequarters.  Depth and spring of rib. Lacking in rear angulation.  Moved well in profile but not as clean as the dog coming and going.

What a lovely class to start with. Some promising youngsters.
1st Newson’s Tivalake Let's Misbehave 9mth and coming along nicely. Good size and shape, Masculine head of good shape but expression could be softer. Well-muscled neck to a well-made forehand with good fore chest and depth to ribs.  Good bone and neat feet. Ribbed back to a short loin, correct croup and good rear angles.  Best mover in the class. BP
2nd Copeland’s Camusmor Bring Me Sunshine to Menstonia.
Just 12mth and another nice boy.  I actually preferred his head to my winner.  Good neck and shoulders, bone ok but feet could be tighter. Deep chest, level top line and correct rear angles. Moved well but not quite the style of my winner.

1st Strevens’ Sh Ch Erikachen Conaire At Tollisty JW Sh.CM  A 3yr old I have done well in the past and today he did not disappoint. Correct for size and shape. Super head, excellent forehand with correct shoulders, neck and fore chest. Good depth and spring of rib. Level top line and correct tail set & carriage. A super true mover with correct reach and drive and the only one showing the required ‘jaunty’ movement. BD & BOB
2nd Fielder’s Ir Sh Ch Eusanit Stand And Deliver at Cretshengan.
Another well-made typey dog. Pleasing head with darker eye. Well-made forehand with good bone and feet. Level top line over well sprung ribs of good depth. Correct tail set and carriage. Moves true coming and going and has good reach and drive in profile.  Close up to 1 and an obvious choice for RBD

3 Oldies that can still give the youngsters a run for their money especially on type.
1st Reader’s Eusanit Visions Of Chillbrav. 10yrs, smaller in frame than some but very well made all through. Good shoulders and forehand, level top line, deep chest, good bone and still has tight feet and muscle tone. Moving well with reach and drive and correct tail carriage.

2nd Powley’s Sh Ch Danehaven Detroit 12 yrs, Bigger built but pleasing head and eyes with good ears. Good neck and shoulders, well sprung ribs and deep chest. Nice rear angles and moved well.  Not quite as together coming toward.
3rd Morse’s  Eusanit Red Devil Rocket

Super front assembly with well laid shoulders, good spring and depth of rib. Level top line to a well-made rear. Moves true with reach and drive. BSB


2nd Adshead’s Afonbach Winter Is Coming
10mth D, 3rd in Junior. Liked his head and ears. Built on large lines but balanced and of good shape. Very good forehand, deep chest and level top line. Correct rear angles, moved with drive.

The wind was getting up and rattling the tent which affected all of these young ladies. 1-3 very close.
1st Powley’s Danehaven Jemseg. Very promising youngster of correct size and shape. Love her head, correct ears and good length of neck. Well-made forehand, correct depth of chest and nice fore chest. Well boned and neat feet. Well ribbed to short loin and correct rear angles. Moved well, true with reach and drive.
2nd Westwood’s Eusanit Gonna Make You A Star.
Very close up to 1. Her lack of stop at the moment detracts from her head but I am sure that this will come. Super shoulders, correct depth and spring of rib. Level top-line and correct rear angles. Another sound mover.
3rd Smith’s Tivalake Anything Goes at Tollisty

A disappointing class with a few of these B’s carrying too much weight.
1st Elkin’s Miss M L Tollelkin Water Dancer. - 1st SBD/B
2nd Powley’s Mrs C Gaberlunzie Bailey.
3yr with pleasing head and good ears. Nice neck and shoulders, just enough fore chest, correct depth spring and depth of rib. Level top line and good rear angles. Carrying a few extra pounds but moved well with drive when she concentrated.

So very close between 1 & 2.
1st Westwood’s Multi Ch Eusanit Apple Of One's Eye JW CW17 Fully mature 5yr B full of quality. Super head and eye, excels in front assembly, lovely bone and tidy feet. Correct depth of chest and spring of rib carried under a level top line. Correct tail set and carriage. Correct rear angles. Moves true with good reach and drive. BB & BOS
2nd Fielder’s Eusanit Best Of The Bunch at Cretshengan
. Another super B. Super forehand with well laid shoulders and lovely spring and depth of chest. Correct rear angles and looked lovely on the move. I actually prefer her shape to the winner but today she was a little soft in the top line on the stand which spoils her outline. Work on this and she really will be best of the bunch. Could not be denied RBB
3rd Newson’s, Tivalake More Than Wishes

VB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st Powley’s Danehaven Red Rock. 10yrs and standing alone but a worthy winner. Super head and ears, good neck to well-made front, nice bone and neat feet. Correct depth of chest and fore chest.  Correct top line, tail set and carriage. Moves much younger than her years. A little wide behind in the class but better in the challenge to take BV.
