Mrs E Glenn (Sandbrae) |
| A wonderful welcome coupled with a large and quality entry of dogs awaited me at Top Barn, near Worcester. My thanks to the Committee for their hospitality, to my excellent steward, Lucy, who kept the ring running so smoothly and to the exhibitors for their support. For many it was their 3rd Show in so many days: special thanks to those who stayed on, and accepted my decisions so sportingly. Most exhibits were new to me and I found myself spoiled for choice in many of the classes, notably the younger ones. To have so many promising babies bodes well for the future of the Breed.

Hughes’ |
Jordanic Touch The Sky at Loranka
8 month. A neat, well-balanced Blenheim, full of substance: pleasing head, with flat skull and good eye placement. Super neck and crest sweeping down to well-laid shoulders, all supported by good depth of brisket. On the move, he showed off his well-broken coat, good topline and tailset. So very promising. BPD and BPIS. |

Sutcliffe’s |
Aristor Brunello
8 month. Another well-constructed blenheim boy, with good head and eye and plenty of soft-textured coat of a deep colour. Today he was not quite so together on the move as the winner, but a promising puppy of good type. |

9 Month. Black and Tan who won this class on his construction and movement. Good neck, crest and shoulder placement and well-let down hocks; head needs time to fill and body to mature. Coat is short right now, but, oh, so black with rich tan. |
| 2nd |
Searle’s |
Stonepit Franco I Believe
11 month. Well-coated Tricolour with appealing expression, if just a fraction short in muzzle for me. Good bone, enough neck and good shoulder placement made for a pleasing outline, but not moving out so well as my winner. |

I did like this waggy-tailed B/T boy. At 14 months his coat and body have still to develop, but what a lovely shape, with balance of leg length to body just right.
Lovely head, so typical of this kennel, with darkest of eyes, good neck and shoulders. Very sound on the move. One to watch. |

13 m Blenheim with well-broken coat of correct texture, good head with expressive dark eyes. Body is well-made, just needs time to deepen and broaden across the pelvis. Presented a nice outline, but a little lazy behind today. |

One of the best classes of the day, full of quality dogs, many going cardless. |
| 1st |
Dawber’s |
Bevelmount Montecarlo at Simanbeck
This blenheim was new to me, but his outline caught my eye as he strode easily over the rather uneven ground. On closer examination, I found a classic head with shallow stop, dark limpid eyes, super neck and crest descending into well-laid shoulders, firm body, and excellent rear construction. He was my dog of the day, who, I am sure, with maturity, will trouble the best. Best Dog and RBIS. |

Spindlepoint Macallan into Cranvarl

Handsome, well-made Tri of substance, who impressed in head, neck and shoulders. He has all the essentials and his well-broken coat was beautifully presented, as ever from this kennel. A lovely mover who could have made more of himself today, but gave enough in the challenge to take RBD. |

8 month Bl. Confident and poised, this little lady stood out in a very good class. She had a well-broken gleaming coat, pretty head & dark eye, good neck and crest. She moved out well showing off her good topline and tailset. A promising puppy who can be forgiven for tiring a little in the challenge. |

10 month Bl. Today she lived up to her name and never put a foot wrong to take this very strong class. Smart and showy, this shapely puppy had left her clothes off, but had everything else in the right place: pretty head, dark eye, good pigment, correct balance of leg to body. She moved and wagged her way to BPB. Well done. |

I was pleased and proud to be able to go over this lovely bitch: just a few weeks short of her 10th birthday, she is as impressive to handle as she is to observe. Classic outline both standing and on the move, so pretty in head, with no sign of aging, in good coat and in fine fettle. She knew her job and moved and showed to perfection. BVIS. |

Peakdowns Skye
Today, this little lady had the ‘Wow’ factor. Though small in stature, she is correctly proportioned and full of substance. Her excellent construction throughout was demonstrated as she moved out in front, with spirit level topline and correct tailset. So pretty in head and expression with lovely dark eye. Still up on her toes by the end of the day, and showing to perfection. A well-deserved BB and BIS. |

Lochbuie Teazle at Lyncraeg
So similar in make and shape to 1, with the same pretty head, this time, with the much-valued spot. Moved well with impressive outline, though I have seen her in better coat. A tad more substance would complete the picture for me. |
