MPD (3) 1 Thorne’s Kricarno Konstellation at Pyrajay, 6
months & looks it, very erratic on the move but he has lots of quality & type, a
pleasing head & expression, good overall proportions & satisfactory basic
construction; 2 Stratton-Baldwin’s Kricarno Kinetic, 6 months & another real
baby of similar type & merits but not as strong in the rear. Again movement
needs to improve with maturity; 3 Ingham’s Dennajae Billy The Kid.
PD (6) 1 Holmes’ Lisjovia Takahashi, 11 months, well grown & bodied,
decent head, well boned & ribbed with excellent angulation & firm backline.
Needs to tighten in front but handled himself well in profile. Beautifully
presented; 2 Baverstock’s Kalkasi Expect Only The Best, preferred his higher
station & bearing to 1 but he too needs to improve in front & he doesn’t have
the hind angulation of 1. Lovely head & expression, should mature well; 3
Flounders’ Gillandant Spirit Of Xmas at Lakamoni.
JD (2) 1 L Takahashi; 2 Thomas’ Shiresoak Snow Patrol, 15 months of
quality, liked his bearing & general shape. Adequate head type, could be
stronger behind & not in full coat. Movement out & back could be truer but he
pleases in profile.
PGD (6) 1 Kenyon, Ward & Bermingham’s Charibere Simply Magic at
Chezanna, won the class easily with his free & effortless movement. Decent head,
well boned & bodied, beautifully presented. Well put together & fundamentally
well balanced. Just wish he wheeled his tail; 2 S Snow Patrol; 3 Kennedy’s
Kentredecim Beach Brother.
LD (3) 1 Tadd’s Jacko du Haras de Chante Neige avec Kricarno, handsome,
upstanding of excellent type. Very impressive head & expression, excellent
wither height, good to go over. Not in full coat but what he has was clean &
well textured. Moderately angled, moved freely & used his tail; 2 McDowell &
Asher’s Granchester Imoulou, another impressive dog for overall type, masculine
head, good overall balance & shape but rather lethargic on the move; 3 Randall’s
Desalazara Monza.
OD (5) 1 Mattison, Sandstrom & Nagrecha’s Viskalys My Way Or No Way to
Chandlimore, as soon as he walked into the ring I could just feel myself
smiling. Outstanding in every way, his exquisite head & expression gave me
goosebumps. Wouldn’t change a thing about him & he was presented & conditioned
to perfection. Moved superbly & correctly with a natural aura of greatness. Won
his first CC & BOB by a considerable margin & looked sensational in the group. I
have no doubt we will be seeing a lot more of him in the big ring next year; 2
Ch/Ir Ch Kalkasi In High Spirits, with 1 out of the way he would have won the
class as he impressed me greatly but just couldn’t match his intense quality &
sheer excitement. Typical, sound, well bodied but not quite the head of 1. Even
so easily won the RCC; 3 Kenyon & Ward’s Ch Charibere Simply Special at
Chezanna.
MPB (2) 1 Tadd’s Kricarno Kornish Kontessa, 6 months baby
understandably raw but with so much quality & type. Beautiful feminine head,
excellent overall proportions, just needs to drop into her rear. Although a
little unrehearsed her movement was sound & true; 2 Bamford’s Dennaje Sweet
Surrender, more advanced in body at 9 months & she has as look of class. Good
basic head type, well boned & bodied, just not moving too well in front.
PB (4) 1 Pollard’s Gillandant Xmas Spice, 10 months, absolutely
beautiful standing & moving, so exquisitely balanced & constructed, & she wheels
her tail too! Feminine head, so good to go over, just needs to drop into her
rear with maturity but the overall picture is fabulous. RCC & BP; 2 Baverstock’s
Kalkasi Expect To Be A Star, again 10 months & her head & expression are
delightful. She impresses in body & outline but sadly disappointed on the move;
3 K Kornish Kontessa.
JB (2) 1 Bayliss’ Shiresoak She’s The One, 15 months, so full of
quality with the most heavenly head & expression. Beautifully balanced outline,
well bodied & coming into coat. Sound & steady mover. When fully mature & coated
should be spectacular. Won what was apparently her second CC, should soon be a
very worthy champion; 2 Janes’ Lyra-Belle du Haras de Chante Neige, 16 months,
good overall type but not quite the expression of 1, as well let down behind or
as coordinated on the move.
PGB (6) 1 Fergus’ Daveangel Reddest Ruby, beautiful in every way apart
from her presentation as a bitch of this quality deserves to be cleaner.
Balanced head, magnificent construction, so sound, moving freely & actively &
even wheeling her tail. I hope her handler will put more into her presentation
as she is clear champion material. Had she returned for the challenge she may
now well be a third of the way there, but we will never know; 2 Savage’s
Viskaly’s Lilla My at Kington, slightly lower stationed & not as clean in skull
but she is well put together, nicely conditioned & presented & moved steadily; 3
Carter’s Casabear Moon Beam.
LB (4) 1 Baverstock’s Kalkasi Dream Chaser, well balanced bitch nicely
made & moving better than anything else in the class. Good basic shape &
balance, head proportions could be better; 2 Bayliss’ Gillandant Anastasia at
Shiresoak, much more my kind of head & she has better hindquarters than 1 on the
stack but sadly she disappointed on the move; 3 Ford’s Montimur Iris Of The
Storm.
OB (3) 1 Baverstock’s Ch/Ir Ch Kalkasi High Expectations, she has
height & bearing, I loved her overall shape & type but she was rather lethargic
& not the best coming at me; 2 Ford’s Lisjobia Whistling Dixie for Montimur, not
the head & wither height of 1 but well bodied & actually the best mover in the
class; 3 Wilcock’s Penellcy Tapestry Of Dreams.
