MPD. 8 (2) 1. Jeffries Jefsfire Lucky Sweep most promising tri almost 8months, appealed for his overall outline, good neck, backline & hindquarters, he has a lovely head, with moulded foreface, good under jaw & correct stop he also has very good ears, plus a lovely dark well placed eye, giving a sweet expression, ideal size, and moving well behind, he is a most promising young man, with a confident temperament.

2. Gartland’s Arcot Snow Patrol almost 9mnths, glamorous g/s who takes the eye,
He is particularly sweet in head eye & expression, very neat well placed ears, which he can use, slightly shorter throughout than 1, although he has good depth of rib and excellent turn of stifle and short hocks, moved well both in front & behind, I would just like to see a little more of him all round. Beautifully presented.

3. Staffords Rannerdale Casanova.

PD. 6 1. Vidak’s Lacewood So Special this youngster appealed for his beautiful outline, he has a good neck & shoulder presenting a good overall profile, he has good bone and neat feet, he possesses a lovely clean head, with good stop moulded foreface, well placed eye, and beautiful ears, just needs to firm up a little in movement. BPD.

2. Haigh’s Shellsu Prince Solo I thought him to be really lovely, he had the same outline as 1, and was shown in vg body and coat, and his movement was sound, lovely clean head, but he did not have quite the expression of 1 and his ears need to settle, however, he is still quite young, and time will be of benefit.

3. Gartland’s Arcot Snow Patrol.

JD. 7 (1) 1. Nixon’s Japaro By Design When I first saw this dog, I had a penchant towards him, I thought him to be quite outstandingly beautiful, in full bloom with a wealth of coat, he is masculine, plus he is completely balanced throughout, standing, he presents a superb profile, he has an excellent reach of neck, set in good shoulders, level topline, straight front, good legs & feet, excellent turn of stifle and short hocks, which enabled him to move so well, I found his head to be clean with moulded forface,good stop well filled skull, and he has the most exquisite eye & expression, and beautiful neat ears, a sheltie which in my opinion befits the standard in most aspects, plus immaculate presentation. It appeared that he is a dog who is quite independent, and was not impressed by having to conform, appearing quite in his attitude and he was inclined to vacillate. Despite his lack of co-operation with his handler, I found him to be of outstanding merit, and was very worthy of the main award, therefore it was a great pity that he did not regain his composure in the challenge sufficiently enough, coming so very close, I hope as he matures, he will gain the equinaminity that will take him to his title which he so deserves. Res CC.

2. Rigby’s Lythwood Sacha This dogs greatest asset is his outstanding movement both in front and behind, shown in excellent coat & condition he has a beautifully moulded head with flat skull correct stop, well filled foreface and good under jaw and very good ears, he has good depth and spring of rib presenting a good overall profile, he was in full unison with his handler, while he has a dark well placed eye he had not quite the sweetness of expression as 1 nevertheless he is a sound dog, who will no doubt gain his title with ease.

3.Pierce Philhope Lady Killer.

Y.D. 8 (2) 1. Bendelow’s Marilake Likewise of Amethricken. Red/gold sable,, today he was not in full coat, but he was beautifully groomed which enhanced his appearance but at 22mnths, he is still at the juvenile stage, he has a nicely moulded head, with well filled flat skull, rounded muzzle, and correct eye placement & good ears, he was very competently handled to every advantage, and a very good showman, I would just like to see him with a little more neck, having said that he is a most attractive dog, and when in full coat will always be considered.

2. Ambler’s Ellenyorn Private Benjamin. Another red sable who is very mature, slightly bigger than 1, and not quite as refined in head, he moved well round the ring, and has excellent body and bone, shown in good coat, he has a good foreface and stop, and well placed eye and neat ears, I would just prefer slightly better angulation behind, another who was well handled and presented.

3. Jeffries Jefsfire Happy Wanderer.

PGD 9 1. Chater’s Rannerdale The Playboy this dog could not be denied his placing on his quality, what I liked the most about him, was his natural stance, being alert, and showing interest in his surroundings without the actual trained show pose. his handler quietly allowing him to stand and lift his ample neck to show himself without intrusion, which allowed me to focus on his virtues, he is a dark red sable in full coat, he has a superb outline, correct shoulders, and excellent depth & ring of rib, good length of body, good front, and hindquarters, and moved especially well, I found his head to be a clean wedge with well placed eye, giving the desired expression, and super ears right on top, I feel his stop could perhaps be a little more defined, but one has to look at the dog as a whole and judge him accordingly.

2. Scott’s Penrave Perfect Royal I liked this young man a great deal, he had the same super outline of “Playboy” unfortunately he was disturbed by the echoing noises of the venue, and seemed unable to settle, at the times he did regain his composure one could appreciate his many qualities particularly his excellent hindquarters, turn of stifle and short hocks, as he moved quite superbly, he hada good wedge defined stop, well placed eye & good ears, I feel it would be unfair to compare his expression with 1 owing to his veins protruding, which affected him, because of his intuitive misconception of the proceedings, in different surroundings this could change considerably.

3. Hunts Chelmarsh Chauffer.

LD. 13 . This was rather a mixed class for type. Which was headed by
1. Hainsel’s Sherkarl Son of A Gun. 4yrs in his prime, overall he is a very nice dog, and won me over for his most lovely head, clean without any coarseness, well filled flat skull, good stop, and the most lovely eye & expression, he was in good coat with excellent body lines, he had a reasonable neck, but it was his excellent movement which commands attention.

2. Nixon’s Japaro Special Agent pale g/s carrying a wealth of coat another from this kennel with excellent movement, and I see he is one of the many which were placed sired by “ Sixsmith” which obviously appealed to me, this 3yr old could certainly carry you away with his beautiful head, and his ultra sweet expression almost to the point of feminity, he has vg bone, and steadfast hindquarters which was a contributing factor to his excellent movement, I would have preferred to see him with more reach of neck, which would have greatly enhanced his profile, however, he has much to offer the breed in various aspects.

3. Bendelow’s Sterndale Moon Illusion of Amethricken

Open D. 11.
A wonderful quality class with some superb dogs including some of the breed’s notable champions, and it was no disgrace to be unplaced in this class of top quality males which I had the privilege to judge.
1. Anderson’s Swe/Fin/ Es/ Ch. Lundecocks Xit from Hell. When this tri came into the ring, he stood with all the charisma of the special ones who exude presence, he almost gave the impression of looking at his competition to see who would be 2nd. He was in magnificent form with every hair in place and gleaming with condition. I considered his overall profile to be quite outstanding, he has not much in the way of glamorous markings, being devoid of a white collar, which in fact emphasised his excellent construction to see he flowing body lines, lifting his neck to show his excellent shoulders, level backline, and sweeping hindquarters, to watch him move was indeed a pleasure, driving from the rear, retaining his excellent level topline
which could carry a plate and never fall off, together with his reaching front extension, he could not be overlooked, looking at his head, I found him to have moulding in foreface strength of underjaw, and a well defined stop, and superb ears right on top, his eye is almond shaped but he does not quite have the expression of some of his competitors, however, I felt that a dog of this calibre should not be eliminated because of personal preferences, and would have been unfair to penalise him as such when his other virtues were in abundance. CC & B.O.B. which I understand completes his title, it was nice to hear later that he was short listed in the group Congratulations!

2. Norman’s Francehill Only Me It was nice to see this dog again, as had awarded him BPIB at a previous show, He has now matured into a most beautiful exhibit, His head in particular I found to be excellent, in contrast to1 he is definitely a glamour boy, shown in full bloom with immaculate presentation He is a pale g/s with vg bone good body lines and hindquarters, and moved well going away, he presented a good challenge against the winners, and only his slightly shorter neck influenced my decision, one whom I feel is also worthy of his title.

3. Pearson’s Ch. Edgloninan Impossible Dream.

MPB (15) (2) What a joy to judge this class of super babies, my reselection consisted of 8 all of which I liked immensely and no doubt will go on to win well, only by splitting hairs could they be separated
1. Scott’s Penrave Princess Royal bright g/s of 8mnths I really fell for this beautiful baby, in my opinion she has everything there and only needs to mature on to make a reputation, I feel her head is correct at this stage of development with no exaggerations and clean, her beautiful dark eyes giving a “merry” expression and, this puppy could capture the heart in a second, she is completely balanced good neck & shoulder, movement so sound for one so young, only her extreme youth prevented her from going further, one who I would have liked to have brought home with me.

2. Weller’s Evad Magic Amber s/s this little girl was slightly longer and more racy with a wonderful air of quality, she impressed me with her lovely neck and good shoulders &, superb hindquarters, another with a clean wedge head correct stop, and very neat well placed ears sweet eye & expression, and moved well, I think between them all each one of them will change places often.

3. Hateleley’s Mohenesee More than a Wish.

PB. 13 (1) 1. Hateley’s Mohenesee Dolly Belle on my initial assessment this young lady made quite an impression, 11mnths g/s beautifully presented, her whole demeanour took my attention, she stood with all the confidence to show off her superb profile, very feminine in outlook with correct length of body, most lovely
head and eye ears on top which she used, her excellent reach of neck, good shoulder , back line and hindquarters altogether made a pleasing picture and so typical of this kennel, moved soundly behind, just needs to be a little more positive in front action to challenge her senior competitors, I was told this win gave her , her Junior Warrant, which did not surprise me. Well done! BPIB.

2. Porters Chelmarsh Fancy Pants this little lady was very nice to handle, she had the similar make & shape as Dolly Belle, very well constructed, bright g’s excellent front & hindquarters and sound movement she has a very good head, she had a almond eye but could not quite match the exceptional expression of 1.

3. Glover-Guest Tramarllan Dead Cert at Doonelodge I feel she is very much a “Live Cert” as this lovely tri had a wonderful conformation together with a very nice head, one that will be heard of again..

JB. 14 (3) 1. Hill’s Rannerdale Moondancer at Ronmere just out of puppy and still carrying her full puppy coat, bright/s so typical of this prefix, she had a good outline and front assembly feminine in outlook typical sheltie head with correct stop, sweet eye & expression, good turn of stifle and. short hocks, won her placing on her slightly more moulded foreface. Over

2. Bray’s Terriwood Summertime Girl at Lianbray initially I thought she was my winner, I loved her feminine outlook, and elegant body lines at 19mnths looking more mature than 1, I was slightly irresolute in my opinion here, as I loved the overall outline of this bitch so much, she had a clean head and lovely eye and expression, a difficult decision between them both, on another day could easily change places with above.

3. Patridge’s Rainelor Ramani

YB. 11 (1) 1. Stafford’s Rannerdale Lady Penelope after perusing my catalogue later, it was not surprising that I was completely captivated by this especially delightful bitch, as I was very much attracted to the dogs bred from this kennel, at 19months she is obviously not as mature and finished as some of her older competitors, but her fresh youthfulness added to her appeal ,being very much what I like, she was so completely feminine and took my eye immediately, her head I found to be a pleasure to look at, being analogous to my previous and later placings, When I looked at her, she appealed in head , with all the essentials. moulded foreface good lip line, and underjaw, also for her most lovely eye & expression giving all the sweetness the breed portrays, obviously she does not have the depth & finish in length of coat at this stage, however, she had nothing to hide in her construction, which I found to be excellent , using her ample neck, emphasising her beautiful outline, she has a totally plain sable “show” side, right down to her toes which can create an optical illusion in her movement, however, I found her to move well as she had good front & hind angulation. I felt she was the one that was worthy of the CC, and I feel can only go on to improve further.

2. East’s Jaquard Call My Bluff rich, s/w who’s movement was so very sound, shown in full coat which was well presented, another with a lovely head, moulded foreface and excellent lipline super ears, she has a very good body with depth & spring of rib, & well angulated behind a very nice bitch overall.

3. Deveson’s Glensanda Genevieve.

PGB 15 (3) 1. Glensanda Genevieve came up from the previous class This darker sable is extremely nice, I loved her head, she was carrying a very good coat and presents a beautiful picture from any angle she has a vg profile lovely head good ears which she knew how to use, and moved so soundly. Well handled.

2. Parkers Edglonian Deroyels Lady at Tolarock a most striking merle who excelled in overall construction, her neck and shoulder, hindquarters and overall construction, I felt was nearly a match of my Dog CC winner, she was carrying a very heavy coat, almost touching the floor, attractive blue although she was quite heavily marked on one side of her head, despite this, one could appreciate her head qualities, clean wedge, with good stop, well placed eye, perhaps her ears are little big, but this was not apparent until handling, and was not any detriment to her, her movement was quite something else, she floated round the ring, with apparent ease, and could have worked all day, a most attractive sheltie, who can hold her own any company object lesson in presentation .

3. Whitchurch’s Shetisha Black Widow.

LB 23 (4) 1. Porter’s Chelmarsh Caviar aptly named tri, she is so sweet one could almost eat her up! 4 Yr old, in superb coat & condition, jet black coat and rich tan markings, she has a balanced outlook with firm backline, very good depth & spring of rib, good bone legs & feet, ideal size so very feminine, being slightly shorter throughout although completely balanced, she was lovely to handle with a clean wedge head , correct stop, well filled flat skull good ears, and a dark well placed eye, giving the sweetest of expression, moved well fore & aft and found there was nothing to dislike about this charming bitch, who was so full of quality, I am sure she has many other admirers from the great approbation she received on winning the Reserve CC, in this form should continue her winning ways.

2. Scott’s Degallo Destiny’s Child this sable took my eye for glamour in full coat, which was presented to perfection, another of ideal size, with excellent conformation, especially good hindquarters and movement, lovely head, and neat ears using herself well, the same lovely type one associates with this kennel, unfortunate to meet Caviar on the day.

3.Hardman & Robinson’s Seavall Smartie.

OB. 11. 1. Wellers Evad Magic Jade 2yrold mature bitch with everything going for her, she has a classic outline, with a swan like neck set in excellent shoulders, perfectly level backline, good front and hind angulation, she is now quite finished in head, which is perfectly moulded, with correct stop, well filled flat skull well placed eye, giving a soft enquiring expression, her ears were on top, using them constantly, moving with effortless ease, while she had a full mane and sweeping petticoats, I felt that she had lost some of her coat. round her neck and body, which influenced my judgement of her in the challenge, her quality is such she has little to prove to do justice to the standard, I feel in full coat should gain her champion title.

2. Scott’s Degallo Look at Me rgs one could definitely not look at her! She is so feminine with all the glamour and quality to take her to the top, very much the type I like having all the essentials plus a charismatic temperament , moved out well, most lovely head and eye so typical sheltie, very good body lines, excellent bone, good depth & spring of rib, shown in top class form.
