BP GRANDOPERA DIDIER DROGBA OF CALIBER (MR & MRS W LAMBERT)
I like these happy little dogs though their mix of sizes and qualities makes them a challenge to judge. The two commonest faults are lack of balance and short upper arms which inevitably makes movements relatively poor. However a few well built good quality dogs strutted their stuff and showed the way ahead.
Puppy Dog Entries: 4 Absentees: 2
1st GRANDOPERA DIDIER DROGBA OF CALIBER (MR & MRS W LAMBERT)
Fairly small well marked br&w, attractive head, filled and curved, good expression but teeth slightly undershot, short upper arms spoil the picture and affect the movement of an otherwise well made dog, BP.
2nd GRANDOPERA BUFFALO BILL (MISS M D & MR E J BUCHALSKA & LOCKWOOD)
Almost solid brindle & white well over the measure, strong head, curved profile, correct mouth and nice eyes, good bodylines, a picture standing but with very poor movement, he seems unable to flex at the hock.
Junior Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 0
1st MERLINDAN CAPTAIN CHAOS (MR D J & MRS L S MCGREGOR)
Black brindle & white quality head, nicely turned with good expression and scissor bite, good topline quarters and tail carriage, straight front but a shade upright, movement better than most. RCC
2nd QUAYARDSON SIR BARCLAY AT DARLOU (MR & MRS S D & A C BELL)
White with fairly good head, nice expression, rather upright in front and untidy movement.
Post Graduate Dog Entries: 1 Absentees: 1
1st BULLYPINS AVENGER FOR KIRBSEA (MR & MRS H C KIRBY)
Black brindle & white fair profile with nice roman finish, scissor bite and good expression though I would like the ears more on top, well boned and attractive bodylines, but upper arm tad short; moved fairly well both ways.

Black brindle & white well balanced powerful dog, just over the measure, good topline and tail carriage, straight front but very slightly upright, strong attractive head, broad muzzle, well placed eyes add to good expression, scissor bite; fairly good movement. Quality dog, well handled to his DCC
2nd DECADANCE DEFENDER (MR M DODWELL)
Black brindle & white rather large dog, straight front but a bit upright, correct mouth but kind eyes and ears not on top spoil his expression; moved reasonably well.

Puppy Bitch Entries: 1 Absentees: 0
1st BULLYPINS MYSTIQUE INTO LARONBELLE (MISS A & MR A GARDNER & TWYMAN)

Junior Bitch Entries: 2 Absentees: 1
1st GRAYMOR GLACIAL DAWN (MR & MRS G A HUGHES)
White smallest dog of the day, almost on the measure, straight front though I would like a little more length of upper arm, fair quarters and correct tail carriage, curved profile, expression aided by well placed eyes and ears, scissor bite, moderate movement. RBCC
Post Graduate Bitch Entries: 3 Absentees: 1
1st BADLESMERE BEE WITCHED (MRS J SHAW)
White with black eye patch, powerful and well boned with good quarters and tail carriage, outline spoilt by short upper arms which resulted in rather stilted movement, good head with scissor bite and quite well placed ears and eyes.

Nicely marked brindle & white shape spoiled by upright front which resulted in rather poor movement, average head with fairly good profile and correct bite.
Limit Bitch Entries: 5 Absentees: 0
1st GRAYMOR GALLIANO BY BYZANTINE (MRS J PEAKIN)
Attractive and alert red & white, well balanced body with straight front and correct tail set, to be super critical I would like more upper arm and tighter feet, powerful gently turned head, scissor bite, well placed eyes and ears add to expression, good movement with moderate reach and drive. Lovely bitch well presented and shown, happy to award her BCC & BOB
2nd KOFYN KONTESSA VON HOFSTETTER (MRS J WRIGHT)
