Minor Puppy Dog (2,0)
1. Cleland's Candidals King of the World by Deovolante.Just over 6mths of age. Well developed puppy, clean in outline, shapely head, good ear carriage, even markings with strong black pigmentation, movement coming together nicely & in unison with handler.
2.Hick's Candidals Men in Black for Carriagestar.Litter brother of 1st, not quite as mature, even decoration, still carrying nice amount of puppy fat, clean and well presented, movement, again, coming together, both have time on their side yet.

Puppy Dog (3)
1. Harrison-Stratford's Dalkereve Dark Dragon.Three nice dogs in this class, but this 10 & a half mth liver boy really took my eye, for his age, his ring presence fully outshone the others, correct length of stop, shape of head in full context with body, arched neck flowing into strong withers & well laid shoulders, tail set well in proportion with top-line, developing second thigh, depth of chest & ribcage coming on well, strong bone, cat feet, (must keep on top of those nails, though), moved around the ring with such poise & elegance, his balance so finely tuned with his spring of pastern was like watching four independent springs working in unison with each other, holding his top-line at all times & covering the ground with such ease, I do not think he will be far off from the top honours, credit to handler as he was presented so beautifully, struggling with my conscience I had to concede at his early age he had to be my RCC. winner, & of course, BP nice to see him pulled out for the final seven in puppy group.
2.Bolt's Fakenham Ferrera Rocher.Liver boy of correct pigment, same age as 1st, slightly more rugged in outline, lot to like about him, good head & ears, masculine & fit, moved with purpose & drive, very close with 3rd place, they will be pushing each other very closely for placings, I am sure.
3rd Casey's Moyglass Professor Plum.

Junior Dog (6,1)
1.Johnson's Tynevale the Tease.Handsome dog of correct size & liver colour, stands four square, kind expression, good example of a 'spotty dog', head & body fits the standard beautifully, short-coupled with correct amount of tuck up, moved with drive, a pleasure to go over, as always with this kennel, presented in top condition.
2. Baker's Dalleaf Devils Disciple.Very similar to 1st but not quite the showmanship, evenly marked, liked his make & shape, when stood, he has a nice outline, developing well but needs to concentrate more when moving.
3.. Alexander's Offordale Chevalier.

Novice Dog (5,1)
1.Harrison –Stratford's Dalkereve Dark Dragon.For a young boy amongst older dogs he dominated this class & took 1st place easily.
2.David & Saunder's. Dallydyl the Wizard.Was my 4th placing in Jnr class, would like to see a tad more muscle on rear quarters, strong black pigment on striking white background, solid bone, tight feet, obviously used to roadwork, wide forechest, not so happy today, better on the move.
3. Thompson's Dallydyl Quest for the Grail.

Post Graduate Dog (7,1)
1. Whiting's Cibrith Captain Kirk.b/w boy with appealing head & expression, clean in outline & stature, wide front, correct lay of shoulder, strong withers, good spring of rib, muscular rear quarters, moved around the ring with strong driving action, shown & presented in fit , clean condition.
2.Townson & Pardoe's Buffrey Follow that Star.Masculine head, dark eye, ample bone & muscle, correct taper of leg, well developed second thigh, clean lines, strong pigmentation, moved nicely, very good presentation, sympathetically handled.
3. William's Phadante Brighton Rock.

Limit Dog (7,2)
1. Garton's Dalendale Quiet Riot.Beautiful head & expression, liked his ear carriage & well broken spotting on his ears, correct liver colour, wide front, ample bone, nice lay of shoulder & depth of brisket, good sound mover who drove on around the ring, nicely handled & shown in top condition.
2. Croft's Doubtwell Show Stopper.Sire of my res. c.c. Handsome boy, alert, friendly, strong & fit, has good reach of neck, clean lines, correct length of tail, is well in proportion, can move really well, but today, appeared a little lethargic, not quite his usual vigorous self.
3. Hardy's Mountsorrel Crescendo of Shydally.

Open Dog (10,2)
1. Stock's Ch. Dalmark the Shaded Moon at Nospar.Had the most consistent top winning dogs in this class, but this top winning liver boy really does have it all, what can one say that has not already been said about him, I scrutinised every inch of him to find fault and I could not, he befits the standard of the Dalmatian in every way, the perfect head shape, reach of neck, topline, outline, solid bone & muscle, developed second thigh, length of tail in proportion, wide front, taper of leg going down to his beautifully manicured cat feet, (back feet as good as the front), clean, white dentistry, perfectly turned out, every spot shone rich liver colour on pure white background, standing naturally four square, he makes the most of himself, on the move he takes the initiative & strides out with good length of leg & drive, perfectly balanced, when he gets into the big rings he goes up another gear & really excels himself like a true champion, presented & shown to perfection, well worthy of the top honours. DCC, BOB & Group 4
2. Hartley & Griffith's Ch. Creaganbrec the Favourite at Miragua.Dog I have always admired, lot to like about him, his nice head, clean lines & true movement, evenly marked, very fit & in hard muscle, quality breeding again shines through, this dog is a true stallion of the breed, very close between him & res. Dog c.c. winner, would liked to have seen him a bit more settled today.
3. Lewis's Man about Town at Hunterswood JW ShCM

2. William's Phadante Bossa Nova Baby.Very pretty with darkest of eye, absolutely full of bounce & energy, paying full attention to handler she loved every moment in the ring, no signs of ageing, very young 7yr old, as always with this kennel, turned out in immaculate condition.

3. Cobb McGill's Kalokairie's Eye Candy.

Post Graduate Bitch (14,4)
1. Hobb's & Whiting's Winflash Loopy Loo. Looks like a younger version of my c.c. winner, she took me back over 20yrs to my very own 'merrybriar Helen Marie', strong, short- coupled, stocky , stands four square, wide 'h' front, plenty of bone, nice tapering of leg, well developed fore chest, excellent topline, hard developed second thigh, stands four square, honest, cobby bitch that powered around the ring with a true, good driving action & great length of stride, old fashioned, well muscled girl that could easily go on all day, no doubt about awarding her Res.C.C.

3. Whiting's Cibrith China Aster.

Limit Bitch (12,1)
1. Kembrey's Dalmark the super sleuth.Another liver of good quality, (I had three in this class), appealing head & expression, superbly put together, everything well in proportion, rich liver pigmentation, arched neck, strong in shoulder, good front, correct tailset, holds topline standing & on the move, powered around the ring, serious contender for top honours.
2. Smallwood's Lascelles Lady Marmalade.Correct length of stop, beautiful feminine head & expression, her decoration evenly marked all over her body, quality liver girl I have admired often, another with an elegant neck, correct lay of shoulder, strong withers, deep chest, nice turn of stifle, tapering legs down to tight cat feet, well manicured nails keeping her up on her toes, in fit condition, movement true & decisive, but would have liked to have seen her sparkle a little more, as she can do.
3. Johnson's Tynevale take Three to Tango.

Open Bitch (8,3)
1.Neath-Duggan's Ch. Buffrey Gift Wrapped.I first judged her as a minor puppy & saw she had potential then, she did not let me down, another quality bitch from this established kennel, perfectly turned out in every way, ideal head shape, reach of neck, topline running into well set tail, developed second thigh, turn of stifle, she moved with purpose & drive, animated at all times & with a wonderful personality that it takes to be a well- deserved champion, very close between my 1st & 2nd placing, two of the best quality bitches in the country, but on the day this girl just pulled the stops out to show what a true professional she is, she pushed very hard forBOB. On the move you cannot take your eyes of her, when standing she is so animated & rises to the occasion, when she sparkled, she glittered, handler & dog is in complete unison, a true partnership, presented in immaculate condition. Proud to award her BCC
2. Christie's Ch. Sophtspot Snap Crackle n Pop.Sound, honest bitch from a kennel I have admired for years, always producing top quality stock & this one is no exception, evenly marked, dark black spots on pure white background, perfect head shape, reach of neck, depth of chest, spring of rib, strong bone, good taper of leg, immaculate feet, developed second thigh, another well muscled, old fashioned cobby bitch that could move all day long, handled & presented in excellent condition, up against a bitch on really top form today, but, although not at her best showing today you cannot take her top quality away from her.
3.Smallwood's Ch. Mapplewell Dancing Queen of Lascelles.
