I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their show and for all the hard work that must have gone in to drumming up such a great entry in the current climate.

PD (7,2)

1. Clements Sajojistaff Thunderstruck. 7mth topsize bl/br. He has a clean muzzle housing big white teeth, distinct stop and a dark eye.  Straight front with adequate bone, good feet with black nails. Enough rib and brisket for age. Moved well for a youngster..
2.  Johnson & Hardy’s Nebroks Dirty Rascal. Another 7 month old bl/br with white markings. He has a decent head  with good strength to muzzle. He has more substance all round than 1 but isn’t has positive on the move.
3. Priest’s Mintmar Got The Look

JD (4,1)

1. Price’s Little Beau Gest. 13mth bl/br who is not overdone in any department. Nice head piece with clean muzzle, big teeth correctly placed and the neatest of rose ears. Good front and feet. Good depth of brisket and short coupled. Would have preferred a tad more rib and a bit more ‘get up n go’ as he looked bored. Moved well
2. Hanslow’s Toffeestaff Hoggy Pog At Donmarlyn. Stronger all round than 1. Ample bone, rib and brisket. Feet could be tighter. Short coupled. Preferred the topline and movement of 1. 
3.  Malpass’ Hillanvale Black Arrow

ND (5,1)

1. Price’s Little Beau Gest.
2. Wells’ Kalhols He’s The One. This boy has a little bit more substance all round than the winner. He has good rib, short backed and adequate bend of stifle. Preferred the cleaner head of 1.
3. Priest’s Mintmar Got The Look

PGD (4,2)

1. Maud & Cooch’s Gnobulls Funk Odyssey. Red & white dog in super condition. Good head properties with well placed dark eyes and a strong blocky muzzle housing a good bite. He has a well boned, good front with well padded neat feet. He has enough brisket and forechest and is well ribbed. His rear quarters are hard to the touch, would have liked a little more bend of stifle. He has a level topline which is maintained on the move. Moved Ok. His fittest level and muzzle strength took him through to be my Best Dog & BOB
2. Hanslow’s Toffeestaff Hoggy Pog At Donmarlyn.

OD (12, 7)

1. Woollett’s Ashstock Red Miller. This standard sized red dog is strong  headed with clean muzzle and good  dentition. He has enough bone, brisket and rib. He is short enough in his back and coupling. Moves better behind than in front. Well set tail. Presented in good condition.
2. Birbeck’s Janikastco Jumpin Jak Flash. Compact, red with black mask. He has neat ears, good strength to muzzle though not as clean in foreface as winner. He has a muscular neck and is short backed with well boned legs and padded feet. Good rear angulations with good muscle tone. Again moves well behind but front movement wasn’t as good as winner.
3. Small’s Merimna Mind Your Own

Bitches

PB (12,5)

1. Williams’ Bellajazz Annalisa. Dark brindle puppy with the neatest rose ears, set correctly, which just enhance her expression. Dark eye and strong muzzle. with strong underjaw. Feet need to tighten a little, enough rib and brisket for age. In gleaming coat condition. Loses topline on the move but hopefully this will improve as she matures. BPIB
2. Partlett’s Janikastco Miss Hellfyre of Starolestaff. Red with nice head shape for age, good bone, feet and rib. Short coupled with good rear angulation. Moved well. Lost out on condition to 1
3. Clements Sajojistaff Skies On Fire

JB (5,3)

1. Hyde’s Sedgbred Beacon Baroness. Bl /br, clean headed with neat ears. Straight front with enough brisket and rib. Looked to be carrying a little ‘extra’ in the loin when viewed from above. Level topline and good bend of stifle, carried herself well on the move.
2. Bedford’s Pitstar’s Pure Poison At Smokemont. Strong, topsize bl/br , she possesses  good strength to her muzzle and a good bite, deep stop with good eye and ear placement. She has ample rib and brisket, short coupled with well toned rear quarters. Needs a little more animation on the move. She was just a little too much for me.

NB (4,2)

1. Woollett’s Aymstaff Magic Flame. Red smut, strong feminine head with correct skull to muzzle ratio, good dentition. Straight front with well boned legs on tight feet. A little overloaded on the shoulders, ample rib and brisket. Well turned out. Moves well behind. Credit where credit is due, this bitch was the fittest of the day and it’s a shame many more weren’t in her condition because it may have made my decisions a little bit harder to make!!
2. Owen’s Tommy’s Sweet Lass. Bl/br carrying a few pounds to many which gives the impression of her being under headed. She has a clean head with good ear and eye placement. Straight front with enough bone, level topline , moved ok.

PGB (2)

1. Turner’s Trawden Snowball. White with red markings, clean foreface with good muzzle strength, eyes as black as coal set well in skull, distinct stop with neat ears. Straight front with enough bone, nails need attention. Would like a tad more width of chest. She has good depth to her brisket and good rib. Still showing signs from her maternal duties but is in decent nick. Moved well both ways holding her topline.
2. Owen’s Tommy’s Sweet Lass

      OB (9,7)

1.      Johnson & Brown’s Tusselstaff Little Cracker. Nicely balanced bl/br bitch who I have judged before as a junior. She is strong without losing her femininity, she has pronounced head and cheek muscles. Dark round eye and well set ears. Short neck leading into good shoulder placement. Her front is spot on, good bone and tight neat feet. Ample rib and brisket, level topline held on the move. Toned rear quarters, moved ok. Wish she had more ring presence, gives the impression she is one reluctant showgirl!! Best Bitch

2.      Martin’s Lisas Lucky Lass At Alvis. Red/white who I have always liked from ringside. Not as strong as 1 but she has a clean head and muzzle with good eye/ear placement. Good bone and feet, level topline, well ribbed and short coupled. Good bend of stifle with well toned rear quarters. Moved well behind but could not compete with winner in front.
