Mr R Cornaby (Haydonleigh) |
| I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this show and for the generous hospitality they afforded me on the day. I would also like to thank my stewards Jill Sheard, Cheryl Deans and Sue Robinson who kept the day moving very smoothly. It is ten years since I last judged in this area and at that time there seemed to be a lot of short steep upper arms and lose fronts. That has improved but today many of the youngsters seemed lacking in body and on the gangly side. Otherwise the quality of the entry was quite good, but there were one or two handlers who let their exhibit down by not letting it move as freely as it wanted to. I have complained before about exhibitors baiting the dog on the table and a new trend is to hold a chain collar high to show off the head but not releasing it which prevents the judge from feeling the length of neck. |

Kinvaar Beretta The baby of the class at 6 months and 5 days this little Tricolour didn’t put a foot wrong. He is of smaller build and is more heavily marked than my ideal. I was impressed by his overall balance and grace as he moved steadily beside his handler. Best Puppy Dog, Reserve Best Puppy in Show |

Scotlass Power Of Love Handsome Blenheim dog with the richest of pigment. His head has a lovely broad blaze and large dark eyes framed by well feathered ears. Nicely put together with a level top line and well angulated hind quarters and level tail carriage. He moved happily and was attentive to his handler. He is the best I have seen yet from this kennel.

Beaconsfylde Oscar Nuther Another pleasing exhibit. A well broken Blenheim, he just needs to body up and settle into himself. He has a good neck and carries himself well with good ring presence, but on the day lacked the drive of the first. |

Almonroyd Ovation Nice tricolour, more heavily marked than my ideal but he has rich tan highlight, and lovely glossy coat. I would prefer a broader blaze which would help the expression. He has good bone and substance and was attentive to his handler. |

Kilbarchan’s Thomas Barrow A Blenheim dog with a slightly unruly coat but well broken. He has a generous head carried on good neck and shoulders, however he lacks the ear feathering to frame the head. He didn’t have time to settle in this class and gave his handler a hard time. |

Scotlass Iamabeliever Another richly marked Blenhiem dog. He has good neck and lay of shoulder and a good forechest, something that was lacking in many today. He has a good coat and a broad blaze setting off a correct expression with dark rimmed eyes making a very pleasing head. He moved well but was a little proud of his tail. |

Chantismere Charade Kayceekay JW ShCM A striking Blenheim with the type of masculine head that I like. He has the desired sorrowful expression aided by well featherd ears. He has correct moderate bone with correct construction and moved well. Overall a nice exhibit and I considered him for top honours. |

Lewharle Izzadorable for Lynmily Petite Blernheim of petite size and proportions. Her coat is correct for her age. She has a good blaze and lozenge and large dark eyes. She took a while to settle but moved out with good drive from well angulated stifles. She improved in confidence as the day went on to win Best Puppy Bitch, Best Puppy in Show. |
| 2nd |

Lewharle All That Jazz Attractive Black & Tan with a good glossy coat and rich tan highlights. A little unruly on the move so lost out to 1st who (I was surprised to find) according to the catalogue is her litter sister. |

Tillashby Tristar at Callyspride A tricolour of correct size and proportions for age. She has a narrow blaze but bright tan highlights. She was rather loose on the move and really needs to firm up all round. She was however attentive to her handler. |

Beaconsfylde Cadenza A dainty Blenhiem of correct proportions relative to her size but overall too small for my taste. |

Rabymar Moon Dust Lovely ruby bitch in gleaming condition. Pretty face with good dark eye and eye rims. Lovely in profile with neat head carriage and overall shape. She was slightly fidgety but to my mind the best mover in the class. Called in to challenge for Reserve Best Bitch. |

Rogerson’s |
Rabymar Love Potion A Black & Tan also presented in gleaming condition, and a pleasing head framed by well feathered ears. The same elegant head carriage as the first but not quite as firm in movement so lost out to her litter sister. |

Bonitos Companeros Moulin Rouge at Craigowl A quality Blenheim bitch. Very elegant. Her proud head carriage told you she owned the ring. Loved the shape of her head. The broad blaze sets off her large dark eyes, and lovely clean face all framed by correct ear feathering. She kept a level topline standing and moving and moved with real drive. She just oozed quality and could not be denied Best Bitch and Best in Show. |

Bonitos Companeros Crystal Handsome young Blenheim bitch. It is all there, she has a good topline and bend of stifle and good neck and shoulders and well broken markings on a good coat. She moved and stood perfectly for her handler but could make better use of her ears. Another quality exhibit who I considered for top honours, but I preferred the expression of the eventual winners. |
