Thank you for the lovely entry.  The ring surface was quite slippery & this sadly affected the movement of several exhibits.

Molkara Phantassie & Chalkhill Athena

Molkara Phantassie. 10 months old, gorgeous feminine black bitch, full of quality.  Sweet feminine head, kind and gentle expression.  Tight dark eye, lovely neck leading into well laid back shoulders, straight front with good forehand construction, deep chest with well sprung ribs, short coupled, wide well muscled quarters, good width of thigh and rear angulation, short hocks, neat tight feet, moved well, in excellent coat and condition, well presented.

Shannara Leap Of Faith & Cardamine Really N Truly

Lovely blue roan dog of just 13 months.  Well presented, happy fellow who just sparkled on the day.  Smart compact outline.  Lovely well balanced head, with tight dark eyes and a soft melting expression. Good reach of neck leading into well laid back shoulders, good bone, straight front with correct angulation, short body with good spring of rib, short loins, wide well muscled hind quarters with correct angulation, tight feet, moved fluidly with drive covering the ground well (although a little exuberant at times!) and keeping a level topline. Pleased to award BOB.

Zakova Blue Print For Ruphill, Harbethol Look What U Missed JW & Molkara Pillow Talk

Nice sized blue roan dog of 3.5 years.  Very cockery and of good type. Lovely masculine head with gentle expression, ample neck, good return of upper forearm, well laid back shoulders, short body with good ribs, had lovely substance, well angulated hind quarters with super muscle, short hocks with tight feet.  Excellent presentation. Pushed hard for BOB but just lost out due to inconsistent movement due to the slippery ring surface.
