Jan Doherty
Many thanks for the opportunity to judge at this show. The show was very welcoming and lunch was excellent. On the whole the coat condition of the dogs was good as was dentition but one or two would have benefited from a bath pre show.
Minor Puppy
1. Armstrong and McFarlane, Cornstalk Gold Cascade,7 months Brindle puppy, Attractive lean head with good length of muzzle, strong but elegant neck, good front, good depth of brisket for age, strong well made hindquarters, would not want to see much more angulation, nice for size, moved well enough. A promising puppy who will benefit from time and handling
Puppy
1. Armstrong and McFarlane, Cornstalk Thor, 9 months Brindle puppy, very attractive head, nice elegant neck, good front, would like to have seen more overall length of body to give balance, handler must not overstretch him on the stand, a bit unsettled on the move, another promising puppy.
2. Outterson, Ardencote Star Turn, Attractive Parti Colour of 10 months, nice head and expression, good length of neck, tends to fall away behind on the stand and still needs to settle in movement, very promising though and presented in lovely condition.
Junior
1. Ireland, Kaymark Simply A Duke at Jakile, lemon brindle, an honest dog of nice size, pleasing masculine head, good length of neck, good depth of chest and overall length of body, unexaggerated hind quarters, moved out well enough to win this class.
2. Armstrong and McFarlane, Cornstalk Da Vinci, Attractive red brindle puppy of 9 months, masculine head and good length of neck, good front, length of ribcage and overall length of body making him more balanced than his litter mate. Would like slightly more rear angulation but moved out well with reach and drive albeit a bit unsettled, Best Puppy Dog and Best Opposite Sex puppy
