  1. Gibson Mrs T – CH Thorider Jimmy Dean Diester JW. A 7 year old male with a typical head and good skull shape.  Calm expression, correct ear set and dark well shaped eye; good proportion of muzzle.    Stood beautifully for his handler with a strong neck, good shoulder placement, straight front, very good top line.  Nice angles to front and rear.  Tail set was good and he presented in good condition.  Movement was sound and correct and he kept his top line the whole time.

Promising 8 month old with a lovely head, calm gaze, nice dark eye, good muzzle and nostrils and ears well set.  His chest has still to develop but he is well balanced and is nicely angulated with plenty of bone.  Up on his pasterns with good feet, his movement for his age was very steady showing reach and drive.  Please to award him BPD and later BPIS.

  1. Hargreaves Mrs C & Mr R – Kenaiteen Tullis Peak. A 10 month old with good proportions.  His typical head is still developing with a nice expression.  He has a dark eye, well set on ears and correct dentition.  He has good shoulder placement, good bone, a nice front though he needs to come up a little on his front feet.   Nicely angulated and once he settled he was sound when moving and I feel plenty to come with this young male.

  2. James & Thompson Miss A & Mr S – Bamabel Ezekiel. 18 month old who was a little excited today.  Good size with typical head and good width between the ears.  Lovely dark eye, good proportion to muzzle and correct dentition.  Chest developing nicely, he was well angulated, well muscled with a good turn of stifle and nice feet.  He just moved a little too fast today hence his placing.
