Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, 1st September 2012. Judge: Mr Brian Kerrush (Micklam).

Unfortunately, I derived little pleasure from this exercise, as the entry offered little quality in depth. I was presented with four bad mouths, many level toplines, poorly-constructed forehands resulting in wide front movement and the ever-present problem of close movement behind. When will breeders get down to sorting this out?

Best Puppy	Marshall & Skitt's Deegandan Dughall

Puppy Dog	1st: Marshall & Skitt's Deegandan Dughall Very promising mustard baby enjoying his day. Best of heads, with good expression and deep, melting eyes, good length of neck on good shoulders. Correct topline and tail placement. Presented well, in good coat and moving without fault both ways. BP, DCC & BOB.
	2nd: Hendrick's Etsill Quoydandy Another promising mustard with much to like. Unlucky to meet the winner today, sharing many of his good features but not moving as well behind and lacking a little animation.
	3rd: Jacka-Slater's Pennywave Lone Ranger
	Res: Milliner's Xenon z Roxburku Sun at Millerim

Junior Dog	1st: Deacon & Pearce's Cassencarrie I Kid You Not Smart-looking mustard, very workmanlike. Good head with powerful underjaw. Nice length and in the best of coats, but not moving particularly well in front.
	2nd: Bird's Birbrinda Scottish Water Another smart mustard with good head. Well-presented in good coat, just failing to the winner on hind action.

Limit Dog	1st: Shore's Swanwillow Clarion Call Up to size mustard. Good head, melting expression, good length of neck leading to good shoulders. Nice length and topline, moved well both ways. Just lacking coat.
	2nd: Hughes's Maganbar Magic Moment Smaller than the winner but with good head and expression. Shorter than the winner and moving poorly behind.
	3rd: Sleight's Cassencarrie Bobby Vee at Bonnybeck

Open Dog	1st: Eriksson's Int Ch. Scottsbairn Hugh Of Ross Very masculine pepper and very much the type I like. Great head and expression, good length of neck leading to perfect shoulders and classic topline. Moved well both ways. A little too dark for some and perhaps a little high in leg, Res CC.
	2nd: Kurg's Etsill Scapa Flow Smaller type than the winner, but very pleasing to look at. Smaller head with good expression, good conformation and topline, nice length of neck on good shoulders. Moved well in front but not behind.
	3rd: Morris's Cassencarrie Rumour Has It at Pennywave

Good Citizenship Dog	1st: Sleight's Cassencarrie Bobby Vee at Bonnybeck

Veteran Bitch	1st: Morris's Hendell Tassel at Pennywave Good coated mustard with good head and expression. Moved well both ways and was enjoying her day out.

Junior Bitch	1st: Pierce & Baker's Birbrinda Calendar Girl Well-presented happy mustard with good head and expression, fair length but needs to impress on the move.

Postgraduate Bitch	1st: Hamilton's Maganbar Amber Mist over Margham Lacking leg hair and furnishings this very feminine mustard moved and showed well. Good expression and pleasing topline.
	2nd: Shore's Swanwillow She's Hot Mustard bitch with very nice head and expression but in need of a new jacket. I found her rather heavy in front and not moving as well as the winner.
	3rd: Sleight's Cassencarrie Madelaina at Bonnybeck
	Res: Skitt & Marshall's Duneideann Limited Edition

Limit Bitch	1st: Heywood's Cloverwood Day By Day at Schalulleke Beautiful feminine pepper bitch. Good head and expression, best of forehands, good toplione, moved both ways with drive and extension. Enjoyed her outing. BCC.
	2nd: Marshall's Ch. Duneideann First Edition Similar to the winner, but much more chunky and not moving as freely. Owner must pay more attention to her tendency to crouch.
	3rd: Bird's Etsill Shapinsay Sound with Birbrinda
	Res: Hughes's Maganbar Apple Blossom

Open Bitch	1st: Ray's Dentgate Sweet Symphony Solid and sound feminine mustard. Good head and expression, melting eyes, good forehand, moved well both ways. Lacked a littler sparkle today and would benefit from having some coat taken out. Res CC.
	2nd: Kinsey-Morgan's Inzievar Gold Effect Good coated and feminine mustard bitch. Good head and expression, good conformation and super topline. Just failed to winner in hind movement.
	3rd: Eriksson's Se Ch. Scottsbairn Royal Sybilla
	Res: Morris's Pennywave Amaryllis
	VHC: Rolland's Clossongrey Marshwiggle

Good Citizenship Bitch	1st: Jarvis's Mosterlada Shooting Star Very pretty mustard with good head and expression. Moved well but could do with a bit more sparkle.
