PD (6,2a) 1 Sygrove’s Robeta’s Storming Wind, almost a year, brindle with beautiful head, eyes, ears & expression & good finish of mouth, well filled front, strong bone, already well ribbed if a little long coupled. Sound mover, very promising. BP; 2 Poulson’s Brandoux Valentinoux, 8½ months fawn, shorter on leg than 1, but excellent head type. Heavy bone, carries himself well. Just longer cast than 1; 3 Fisher & Bootle’s Tommyville Tchopper at Grandesign. PGD (8,3) 1 Drummond’s Glenlee Golden Eagle, cobby fawn of quality, excellent head type, if pigment could be stronger. Well boned & ribbed, nicely balanced & moved steadily & true. BD; 2 Eskrett’s Ranacani Riddick Stoner, bigger, longer & lighter in eye than 1, so not his shape & balance, but moved well & had adequate head; 3 Dealaselle’s Kenocto Bundle Of Fun. OD (6,1) 1 Drummond’s Glenlee Cheif Santos, cobby & shapely fawn with excellent outline & a look of quality, lots of substance in a small frame & he moves briskly. Pleased in skull, but I preferred the BD in foreface & he had wider nostrils. Although somewhat pinched in nostrils, this dog had no problem whatsoever breathing. RBD; 2 Greensmith’s Gizyjo Remmisson with Nachadbe, standing this pied looked a real picture, combining type with substance & head qualities if eye could be lighter. Moving up & down he disappointed badly; 3 Smith’s Ch Sarabar Spirit Of The Mist.

PB (5,3) 1 Dunning & Clubley’s Frabull Black Velvet, 8 months brindle with lovely typical & feminine head with enchanting expression, good width in front, well boned for her size & she moves soundly. Just needs to come up on leg with maturity as at the moment she looks rather long & low; 2 Roberts’ La Baiser Fudge Brownie, 6 months, better balance of outline than 1, but not her head qualities not as coordinated on the move. PGB (10,3) 1 Drummond’s Glenlee Indian Charm, well balanced fawn, cobby & shapely with excellent head type, good bone & substance, well finished mouth & steady movement. Just couldn’t match the absolute star quality of the Open winner. RBB; 2 Beale’s Kargrays Diamond Dazzler, brindle, very light on her feet, excellent head type, but rather narrow in front & brindling could be more defined. Good bone & well ribbed; 3 Beale’s Kagabea Dream Crystal. OB (6) 1 Drummond’s Glenlee Spirit Dancer, absolutely outstanding young fawn bitch who I understand has won her title & beyond since being entered & it is easy to understand why, classic head full of expression with that look of fire & mischief that is so appealing, strong quality bone, well ribbed with correct topline & strong well let down hindquarters, cannot stand wrongly & moves accordingly, in lovely bloom, she definitely has star quality in abundance, a truly great example of the breed who I feel sure will end up in the history books. BOB; 2 Wildman’s Wildax Miss Moneypenny, well known brindle full of quality with a beautiful head & expression & in wonderful bloom, she is a showgirl par excellence. I just wish she had a more correct topline as it detracts from the overall picture; 3 Chapman & Conway’s Norcairn Dark Angel.
