PUPPY DOG ~ Entries: 2 ~ Absent: 0 |
1st |
"Flynn" |
Best Puppy. Strong lad in good coat. Powerful foreface, good dentition and well defined stop. Plenty of bone and well muscled up. Pleased in body and hindquarters. Moved freely once settled. |
|
2nd |
"Murphy's Law" |
Not the substance of the winner, but all of a piece and scored in head, eye and foreface, with neat feet and good set on. Not too happy on the day and somewhat reluctant to show off his attributes. |
|
JUNIOR DOG ~ Entries: 1 ~ Absent: 0 |
1st |
"Toddy" |
What a character! Head of good proportions; strong jaws and pleased in front. Well ribbed up and moved quite well, though a little close behind. |
|
POST GRADUATE DOG ~ Entries: 4 ~ Absent: 0 |
1st |
"Barney" |
Best Dog and Best of Breed. Quality. Balanced all though and strength all round. Scored in head and skull with good body proportions and well muscled up. Topline, loin and tailset were plus points. Moved freely and covered the ground with plenty of drive and reach. |
|
2nd |
"Tommy" |
Not the substance of the winner, but nicely balanced overall. Good headpiece; strong jaw and nice front. Neat feet; good width of chest and just enough neck. Moved adequately once he settled. |
|
3rd |
"Baldrick" |
Nice type; good width of skull and strong in jaw. Pleased in neck and topline with a strong rear end. Would not show himself off to advantage. |
|
Reserve |
"Selwyn" |
||
OPEN DOG ~ Entries: 3 ~ Absent: 1 |
1st |
"Brando" |
Reserve Best Dog. Quality head and expression; plenty of bone and muscle and good breadth of shoulder. Strong loin and good set on. Somewhat lethargic and took his time moving out. |
|
2nd |
"Jack" |
Nicely made with pleasing head and ears. Plenty of bone and substance. Topline and set on were plus points. Not too interested and did not help his handler on the move. |
|
PUPPY BITCH ~ Entries: 1 ~ Absent: 0 |
1st |
"Co-Co" |
Delightful baby who is nicely made with a balanced head and body. Scored in eye, ears and neck and showed a steady topline, although not too happy on the move. One to watch for the future. |
|
JUNIOR BITCH ~ Entries: 2 ~ Absent: 1 |
1st |
"Annie" |
Carrying too much condition and not too sure of herself. Head and body proportions ok; well ribbed up and a good tailset. Sluggish on the move. |
|
POST GRADUATE BITCH ~ Entries: 2 ~ Absent: 0 |
1st |
"Lily" |
Reserve Best Bitch. Nicely made and balanced overall. Pleased in head with a strong jaw and good dentition. Just enough neck; strong rear end and moved out freely. |
|
2nd |
"Rio" |
Another exhibit who made it hard for her handler. Pleasing head; good dentition and well boned forelegs. Would have liked a little more neck for balance and hind movement let her down. |
|
OPEN BITCH ~ Entries: 4 ~ Absent: 1 |
1st |
"Brenna" |
Best Bitch and BOS. Pushed the BOB winner all the way. Showy, balanced and well presented and handled. She has all the head qualities; plenty of bone and substance; good breadth of shoulder; lovely topline and good set on. Balanced and free on the move. |
|
2nd |
"Dixie" |
Nicely made with a strong head and jaw; pleased in body and loin. Tailset ok; well muscled hindquarters and neat feet. Another lethargic mover. |
|
3rd |
"Astrid" |
Not giving of her best and somewhat erratic on the move. Pleased in head, eye, ears and topline with strong quarters. |
