Neat balanced baby of four

the move.

Hanafor Tan Torley |
Ten month old puppy at the awkward stage, all
legs and needs to fill out. Balanced head, eye needs to darken. Quality bone with
excellent feet. Correct tail set and carriage. Elegant with light footed, ground covering
stride with plenty of reach and drive. Very unsettled, needs to steady in movement. |

1st: Hawkins
Tanrod Golden Mc Goo |
Well balanced moderate young
dog with pleasing outline. Correct head proportions. Steady mover round the ring.
Disappointing going and coming but obviously pulling against the chain. Correct tail set.
Nothing to change at this stage except training!

2nd: McLeishs
Craboon Brooklyn Top Gun |
Taller, stronger youngster
with good reach and drive around the ring. When stacked stood over plenty of ground with
his well angulated hindquarters. Not as good in lay back of shoulder or topline on the
move as 1. Well handled.

Ch. Eicol The Specialist |
Well balanced dog of correct
breed type. Lovely profile on the stack. Would have preferred a less upright head and
slightly lower tail carriage on the move. In excellent condition, well muscled. Well
trained and handled. Pushed for reserve CC.
|
2nd: Mitchells
Pretorium Mister Mushka |
Heavier dog throughout. Moved
briskly around the ring. Would have preferred more lay back of shoulder and longer neck.
Not the drive in the hindquarters of 1. Correct tail set and carriage.
|
3rd: Hines
Exetora Tarrawana Boy |
Darker dog that presented a
pretty picture both stacked and moving. Attractive head. Moved with adequate reach and
drive. Not the angulation of 1 and 2. Would have preferred more bone and substance.

This was a difficult class as all three had excellent qualities but movement was
disappointing. |
1st: Dobsons
Ch. Willowbank What Now C.D.X. |
Taller dog than most, head
very pleasing. Moderately long neck leading into correctly placed withers. Good feet. Out
and back movement disappointed but movement around the ring displayed good reach and
drive. Would have liked more condition.
|
2nd: Aldertons
Ch. Hanafor Vari Tibor C.D., E.T. |
Smaller, very muscular dog.
Well balanced, very good head proportions with dark eye, excels in shape of skull and ear
placement. Good feet. Would have preferred more angulation in front. Again out and back
movement disappointed but movement around the ring even and free flowing though not the
drive of 1.
|
3rd: Elessar Kennels
Ch. Hanafor Caveat Reiffel |
This was the breed type for
which I was looking. Balanced head with well shaped eye of correct colour, excellent depth
of chest, good bone, good feet. Would have liked a slightly longer croup which might have
helped his hind movement. Could have moved more freely around the ring.

1st: Roberts
Ch. Hanafor Lord Stafford |
Quality dog excels in breed
type and balance. Excellent condition of both coat and muscle. Absolutely nothing I would
change. Moved freely around the ring. Distinguished on the stack. Pleased to give him CC
and Best in Show.
|
2nd: Tokaji Kennels
Ch. Hanafor Simply Matyas |
Medium sized, balanced dog of good colour.
Pleasing head with good eye shape and colour. Strong purposeful mover although not as
effortless as the winner. Not the overall quality. Reserve CC. |
3rd: Orzeszkos
Ch. Hanafor Master Gyles C.D. |
Different type with very
attractive head, super neck into wither giving an excellent topline from head to tail. In
great condition. Moved around the ring like a true aristocrat. However I would have liked
a slightly longer back and stronger movement.

Both with outstanding temperaments and ground covering strides for their age.

1st: Roberts
Hungargunn Eurythmic |
Well boned baby with lots to like, very good
topline especially while moving. Good depth of chest, well angulated front with good reach
of neck. At the moment a little long in body. Hindquarters good. Not quite settled in the
ring but behaved sufficiently to assess on the move. |
2nd: Neaves
Kimlise Eslette |
Another quality baby with a
pleasing head, correct prosternum, depth of chest. Feet not quite straight at the moment
and underline not as good as 1. Also preferred neck into withers in 1. Very well trained
baby and very well handled.

Vizamy Samyz Mizar |
A very happy puppy, covered plenty of ground,
needs to settle down to steady movement otherwise assessment on the move is difficult.
Would prefer less tuck up. |

1st: Heemskerks
Tanrod Golden Jaffa |
A paler bitch with steady even
movement. In season, her tail carriage did not enhance her outline. This was a shame as
she had strong, powerful hindquarters which looked as though she should have plenty of
drive. Moderate all through. Feet could be better.
|
2nd: Maslands
Vidiem Etelka |
Medium sized, balanced bitch
of good colour. Pleasing head. Strong forward movement not always under control. Lost on
temperament and training.
|
3rd: Aldertons
Hanafor Amazing Grace |
Another medium sized bitch,
elegant with lovely outline on the stack, lost it on the move. Needs to settle in the
ring.

Ch. Kimlise Talisky |
Medium sized, elegant bitch,
well balanced with good colour and condition. Pleasing head and expression. Well
angulated. Moved happily with enthusiasm. Preferred her elegance and energetic movement to
2. Reserve CC.
|
2nd: Neaves
Ch. Pitswarren Esther [Imp. UK] |
A darker, more solid bitch
than 1. Beautifully presented in perhaps the best condition of any in the show. Attractive
head. Well angulated, a little heavy in front. Moved around the ring with even, free
flowing stride but not as sound going and coming as 1.

Ch. Hanafor Phyn Phillida C.D.,
T.D. |
An exceptionally balanced bitch of good colour,
feminine from head to tail, quality bone. Good depth of chest. Well angulated front and
rear. Sound going and coming. Super reach and drive whilst keeping topline and correct
tail set and carriage. Thought she would be hard to beat when she powered round the ring
on entry. Pleased to give her CC and Runner-up Best in Show. And must admit she pushed
hard for Best in Show. |
2nd: Middletons
Ch. Eicol Basic Instinct |
A very pretty feminine bitch
both stacked and moving. Sweet head and expression but needs more bone and substance.

Ch. Hanafor Vari Arabella C.D.X. |
Very balanced bitch of paler colour. Well put
together with nothing to fault - but so bored! |
2nd: Mackens
Ch. Palaway Tiki Aura |
Good sized bitch darker in colour than 1. Also
moved more enthusiastically than 1. Profile movement was good but going and coming showed
her to be a little wide in front. Eyes were somewhat foreign. |
3rd: Maslands
Ch. Vidiem Gold Beladonna |
Mature bitch, 7½ years beginning to show her
age. Nicely balanced , of medium size, good feet. Wide in front. Happy to show. |
