Here we are 5 years on! Sometimes you need someone ‘from the dark side’ to observe the progress being made and the huge co-operation from some ‘big’ names in entrusting your very best stock to others
to campaign, grateful to my stewards who kept us all in order! 40 exhibits with 12 away.

MPD 3(1)
1. Langford’s Quaytown Damson. 6½ months, very typy gold, skull falling away beneath eyes, correct length of muzzle, well placed eye, good shape and angles, level good tail, set and carriage, sound moving in a jaunty manner, appreciate I now see had travelled from the IOW, very promising.
2. Killian’s Marbledale Treat N Toffee. 7 months on the day, gold/white, good in head, excellent body shape, level, good tail carriage, first time out so was a little wayward but handler worked well and they are going to develop into a good team.

PD 3(0) Excellent trio.
1. Hall’s Shenedene Gossip Agent. 10 months gold, so very typical, fabulous head both in its detail and proportions, great shape and angles so as to be well balanced; level, good tail carriage and promise of a good coat, very sound, just a matter of him maturing on so to realise his obvious potential.
2. Horne’s Chanceinn’s Bad Habits. 9 months, black and white, quite lovely for type and balance, in a superior coat that was immaculately conditioned, good in eye and ear, touch longer in muzzle and underjaw as yet, such a good body structure with the firmest of fronts, being straight on the outside and with good bone, good in rib, just that touch long but that’s merely a matter of maturity, moved securely with style.
3. Revillas Rodriguez’s Crystal Eye’s Wam Bam Boom at Khumbila.

JD 2(0)
1. Clutterbuck’s Kutani Hamilton. 12½ months, good eye, excellent muzzle, excellent neck well arced, nicely formed front, correct body length for height, level, good tail set and carriage, quality coat, moved out well, one to watch.
2. Gillman’s Aintshe Permission To Fly from Mytilene. 15 months b/w of a slightly heavier build but with a good overall structure, handsome head with correct fall away, quite a marked crook, level, good tail set and carriage, steady mover and well balanced.

YD 3(1)
1. Torrance’s Sinyul Imagined. 20 months b/w of considerable promise, excellent type and shape, relatively narrow skull, fall away, correct length of muzzle, frontally placed eye, well bodied and angulated, level, balanced and compact high tail set carried well over the back, well coated and furnished, moved out well with a typically jaunty style.
2. Anderson’s Zentarr Hendricks. 18 months gold on his first time out, scored in muzzle, scored in well arched neck, scored in shape and tail set, simply a bit wayward as his handler generously acknowledged whilst trying to keep up, better days to come.

PGD 3(1)
1. Adam-Slomkowski’s Kentwone Derek Jewel by Skylax. 20 months described as sable, good honest type, well put together, just still to mature on and to coat up, excellent head and eye with muzzle of correct length through to black nose and correct bite, straight front, level, good in rib, still to fill in loin, well placed and carried tail, jaunty, well presented and handled.
2. Wright’s Kelankin Bits ’n Bobs. 2½ years gold, heavier headed and bodied with a rather marked crook, but well ribbed extending well back, level, strong loin, well developed and muscled rear, well coated.

LD 4(1)
1. Anderson’s Zentarr Albert. 4½ years, sire of the ‘wayward’ kennel mate, gold, fabulous head, falling away behind eyes, with good furnishings, pendant ears, arch to neck, correct body length, ribbed back with strong loin, quality coat, well developed rear with parallel hocks and not the least ‘wayward’ on the move, CC standard.
2. Sutcliffe’s Newcliffe Kia Ora JW. 4 years, rather short in muzzle and was ‘falling away’ over the rear, well bodied with the most quality of coats, touch longer in loin, good angulation and body proportions, sturdy and assertive.

OD 5(0) A ‘hot’ class indeed.
1. Connett’s Ch. Khinjan Valentino with Orcavoe. 3 years gold, my notes read ‘amazing’ and there is little else that needs saying, in top form and condition, heavily coated with good fall over eyes, correct fall away, excellent eye and ear, excellent proportions all over, correct chest with pro sternum, arched neck, level, so well angulated, so muscled under all that glamour, straight front, firm at elbow with forward facing cat feet, ribbed back, short loin, high set tail carried well over the back, moved with sound style and parallel hocks, class handling technique so as to ensure it is the exhibit that is centre stage, DCC, BOB and Group 2.
2. Barnett/Carter’s Belazieth Sundance Kid with Alamiks JW. 4½ years gold/white and was so close up that I now see was to be expected as half brother, super headed, super structure, well angulated, level, so well ribbed back to a strong loin, superbly coated and conditioned, moved so well with great tail carriage and parallel hocks, we are talking standard of excellence in seeking to make a decision between exhibits of this calibre with such skilled self-effacing handlers, so clearly of Ch quality as marked with RDCC.
3. Hall’s Ch. Shenedene Secret Agent.

MPB 7(4)
1. Lock’s Littondale Lyrabelle. 8 months, cream/white, truly exciting prospect, outstanding breed type, lovely head, already secure in structure as was confirmed on the move, so much winning ahead.
2. Birkett’s Littondale Estelle. 8 months, cream/sable litter sister, less sure of what was expected of her but that’s only a matter of experience, also very good head features and proportions, also very good in structure, of a heavier build than her sibling.
3. Saunders’ Montrabella Share The Wish.

PB 2(1)
1. Anderson’s Sweet Devotion VD Pacific Paradise at Zentarr. 9 months, what a prospect, such a pretty head with lovely eyes that draw you in, great shape and conformation, ideal size and balance, level, well angulated, well ribbed, correct length, promise of an excellent coat, such a madam in her gay and assertive manner as demonstrated on the move where she was so secure, rather a bright future, duly marked by BPIB.

YB 1(0)
1. Barnett/Carter’s Alamiks Perfect Illusion. 14 months, gold daughter of RDCC, excels in head and eye with fall away behind, straight front, ribbed back, level, so secure on the move where she is clearly demonstrating her sire’s attributes, good tail carriage, obviously she is but a teenager and has still to mature on, not least in loin, no problem in predicting her challenging for the top awards.

NB 3(0)
1. Barnett/Carter’s Alamiks Perfect Illusion. Repeat.
2. Baxter’s Fengolas Honey Monster. 2½ years, henceforth known as ‘wagger’ and what a joy to meet as she never stopped from ground or up on the table or to be placed, very typical, so feminine in head, level, balanced, well angulated and well bodied so as to be worthy of a few more outings on this showing.
3. Saunders’ Montrabella Share The Wish.

LB 4(1)
1. Chambers’ Kutani Enigma. Rising 3 years ‘cream with a grey overlay’ and also shown in SBB but not after today, glorious half sister to both the DCC and RDCC so hardly surprising she took my eye the moment she entered the ring, good head with correct eye and muzzle, well arched neck, excellent forehand as balanced by rear angulation, such a sound structure, level, ribbed back, great tail carriage and was so proud as though to show to the world her qualities with her jauntiness off parallel hocks, but it was all of you that showed our hobby in its best light with a universal cheer and ring invasion with hugs and tears, here’s to her title, RBCC, BSpB.
2. Lock’s Khinjan Gabriella at Littondale. Rising 3 years, oh no, not another half sister, frankly had all the same specific breed points and was so close up, so anticipate she will be swopping positions as she too challenges for the top spot with her type and shape and angles, beautifully bodied and conditioned.
3. Church’s Sengemo’s Starlight Express at Askja (imp SWE).

OB 6(0)
1. Horne’s Lippylou’s Doolally with Chanceinn JW ShCEx OSW. 4½ years black, exuding breed type and quality with the advantage of great conditioning and maturity, relatively narrow skull with fall away behind, eyes that she did her ‘aloof’ act as to whether to look at me or ignore me, excellent shape, excellent conformation, correct length, the more I asked of her, the more she gave right through to her excellent tail carriage and jaunty action, believe she has been on a bit of a roll to her title, congratulations, BCC.
2. Langford’s Quaytown Daffidil. 5½ years cream, yet another Kutani sired, just to be ‘picky’ she was that bit taller set and quite short enough in muzzle but so very typy and scored so highly in her conformation that she was a joy to go ‘hands on’ so that you flowed over her, well arched neck, level, ribbed back, well angulated, immaculate coat, excellent carriage, well able to state her own case at this level.
3. Hall’s Ir Ch/Uk Ch. Shenedene Gossip Girl.
