Although with 30% absentees the quantity was low, the quality was high and I welcomed the opportunity to go over some very classy exhibits and my overall impression was a good one. There were two bad mouths, plenty of disappointing movement and there were also a few eyes rounder and lighter than I’d like to have seen.

| This class was a hard one to judge, my notes say “what a headache”. Two beautiful top class bitches of very different type headed this class and I found it so hard to separate them. 1st Palmer’s Othamcourt Gamestress at Roandew one I have always liked from the ringside. Beautiful head with a lovely dark eye and melting expression. Good length of neck excellent shoulder, rib, depth, lovely length. Ample bone. The most cat-like feet I have ever seen! Moved soundly and strongly. 2nd Payne’s Cepen Country Classic another favourite I have long admired. So well constructed with the best of shoulders, ample rib and better than 1 in rear angulation. Moved very soundly with true drive. In the end I had to nitpick to separate them somehow - 1 had more sparkle today, my kind of head and the neatest of feet. 3rd George’s Mossland Wild Thyme at Plaiglen | ||

| A delightful class. 1st Corbett’s Sh Ch Trimere Time And Again - I judged her as a puppy and loved her then. This stunning bitch has the best of heads, lovely length of neck which flowed elegantly into excellent shoulders, very well ribbed, nice and deep, just the right body length excellent width to second thigh with rear angulation and hocks to die for. Good amount of bone. Tail set on perfectly and carried to good effect – and she was simply the best mover of the day showing real drive and power behind off her short and straight hocks and perfect straight free flowing movement with good reach in front. So well presented. Delighted to give her BIS. 2nd Fennell/Miller’s Calmolly Jemima Puddleduck at Graftonbury Another bitch from the top drawer. Beautifully balanced feminine head with the darkest of eyes. Strongly built with super neck, shoulders plenty of rib and depth. Excellent rear angulation and a pleasure to watch her correct sound movement, real drive from behind and straight and reachy in front. RBB and RBIS. 3rd Digby’s Cleavehill Snow Shoes | ||||
