PD (5,1a Two very promising puppies here who should do very well. 1 Croft's Doubtwell Show Stopper, only 7 months, very good outline, excellent jet black spotting, powerful hindquarters & correct underline, good head & expression, moved so well with a long stride giving rhythm & drive. BP; 2 Burrows' Daedalus Deacon Blue at Shacarlu, quality 9 months puppy, a few more spots than 1 & more mature. Balanced outline, nice head & expression, good bone & feet, moved very well with long stride. A little unsettled due to the high wind & flapping tent; 3 Holburn's Glenlion Bowmore Bounder.

JD (6,1) 1 Goodswen's Tamilanda Pink Vigilante from Alphadal, young liver spotted, really took my eye, super outline, good head & expression, best shoulders in the class, good underline. When his novice handler gains more experience should do really well; 2 Christie's Sophtspot Abracadabra, young b/s, good bone & feet, powerful hindquarters which he used to advantage. Not quite the outline of 1. Lovely head & kind expression; 3 McCarthy's Kilndandy Old Copper.

D (6) 1 Tingey's Holderness Hillbilly by Dallyador, l/w, good head & expression, well carried ears. Missing pigmentation on nose. Good bone & feet, nicely balanced, good spotting. Could lose a little weight to advantage. Moved very well with rhythm; 2 T Pink Vigilante from A; 3 Quayle's Buffrey the Shaded Sun at Cubalibre.

PGD (5,1) 1 Whiting's Dalesbred Djamaica at Cragvallie, compact b/w, good spotting, good head & expression, well shown & moved quite well; 2 Dodds & Pearson's Camargue Eurovision, bigger than 1. Nice head & expression, b/w spotting, moved with long stride. Failed in topline; 3 Moate's Major Sheerwill at Sundown.

LD (5) 1 Lamb's Dalpetro Dettori, b/w, compact, good outline & underline, moves very well with rhythm & drive. Would like a little more size all round to give him a little more masculinity & then he would be very hard to beat; 2 Page's Winflash Harvey Wallbanger, b/w in very hard condition, shown well to show his outline, good head & ears, plain face. Lacks spotting on body. Moves very well; 3 Smith's Dalleaf Mullberry.

OD (8,1) 1 Casey's Ch/Ir Ch Camargue Calvin Klein, took my eye when entering the ring, elegant but masculine, black spotting, lovely head & expression, very good topline & balanced outline, powered around the ring with drive & style. CC , BOB & G2; 2 Carvell's Timmy Willie with Lilal, standing this dog just looks the part. Lovely head, correct ears & expression, correct topline & underline, balanced outline & underline, good bone & feet, super black spotting. I just wish he would put more effort into his movement but did enough to win RCC; 3 Quayle's Ir Ch Cubalibre Top Spot.

PB (5) Two very nice puppies here. 1 Dore's Daldior Ace Of Diamonds, really attractive 10 months b/w, good head, dark eye & correct ear carriage giving kind expression, good bone & substance, really good mover, very promising; 2 Croft's Doubtwell Amazing Grace, litter sister to BP & a lot to like. Good outline, nice head & ear carriage, very well shown & in good coat, moved well; 3 Smallwood's Lascelles Lady Marmalade.

JB (7,2) 1 Whincup's Tamilanda Lilly The Pink, very elegant b/w, lovely outline, plain face, correctly held spotted ears, very good bone & feet, very well shown & presented, moved well with rhythm & drive; 2 Hughes & Smith's Tamilanda Pretty In Pink, litter sister to 1 but a slightly different type. Good outline, head & ear carriage, dark eye, nicely spotted. Not quite the movement of 1; 3 Casey's Spotswood Swallow Tail at Moyglass.

YB (10) 1 Tingey's Phaeland Phoenix Phorever by Dallyador, l/w, balanced outline, good spotting, powerful hindquarters which she can use to effect, nice head & expression. Would like to see her with a little less substance. Very well shown with movement showing reach & drive; 2 T Lilly The Pink; 3 Clarke's Klarkeston Royal Destiny.

PGB (6,2) 1 Pearson's Chandhally Chantilly Cream from Cannabee, this b/w really took my eye with her balanced outline, good head & expression, best spotting in this class, moved so well with reach & drive, good conformation & front true. Considered for the RCC; 2 Pickup's Roadcoach Ribbons And Roses, lovely b/w, not on her best behaviour due to the very cold conditions. Good head & expression, jet black spotting on pure white coat, very nice bitch who will have a much better day; 3 Fort's Shulune Fantazy On Ice.

LB (9) 1 Alexander's Offordale White Lady, very elegant, balanced & in super condition, lovely head & expression, good outline & underline, well shown to advantage & movement true, very nice b/w.

Similar type to 1; 3 Dodds & Pearson's Camargue Gucci Envy.

OB (6) 1 Roach's Ch Hebe Aleatory in Holderness, I have never seen this lovely bitch looking so super. Her black spots gleamed & her coat felt like velvet, elegant outline, good topline & underline, lovely head & expression, moving with drive & style. Could not be denied the CC; 2 Page's Ch Winflash Spring Angel, different type to 1, a little smaller & shorter coupled but still an elegant bitch. Lovely outline & spotting. Looked a little light but still moving like a train with reach drive & rhythm. RCC; 3 Christie's Ch Sophtspot Snap Crackle N Pop.
