2^nd     Calton’s Tribbrook Beam Me Up Scotty (2^nd in PD)

2nd    Reeve’s Breamlines Masterplan with Bramblebern imp  (1^st in JD)

1^st      Brown’s Bleuroyal DejaVu imp. Another dog giving me the outline I was looking for. Very good front and rear assemblies. Lovely depth of chest with good bone and correct feet. Well set ears on a not unattractive head but not the shape I was looking for. Rather exuberant on the move.

2^nd           Fitches’ Triforce Commodore. Longer and taller than 1.  I did prefer his head though. Very good front assembly with deep ribs. Being longer cast he does tend to roll on the move.

1^st      Smith & TimperonTriforce Night Rambler. Black tri presenting a good outline.  Head ok but needs to fill out in the cheeks. To give the desired shape.  Very good ears and a lovely dark eye. Super shoulders and good rear angles. Nice depth of chest. True and steady on the move with correct profile gait.

2^nd     Knott’s Lyveden Rairock Reble JW. Another Black Tri and very similar to the winner.  Well made with good shoulders and rear angles. Another good mover. Just preferred the head of 1.

1^st      Gillingham’s Silverdream Aussies Time Will Tell at Parkgroves ShCM imp. What a super young man, not flashy but commands attention. Good outline and balance. Lovely head, masculine and of correct shape, with good ear set and pleasing eye. Correct front assembly with good depth of chest, short coupled to muscular rear or correct angulation. His true free flowing movement secured his class win and then later the Reserve CC

2^nd     Miller & Haslam’s Allmark Maserati at Meitza JW. So very close to winning this class. Took my eye on the stand. Super shape, excels in head with super ear set and carriage. Excellent shoulders with lovely depth of chest. Short strong loin to correctly angled rear.  In good coat. Lovely rear movement and correct in profile.

1^st      Longhurst, Routledge & Gibbons’ Ch Allmark Spirit Of St Louis ShCM.  Red Merle who really took my eye. All male, something that is not always the case with male merles, and all Aussie. Super shape with a lovely head that is soft yet masculine, with correct ears and kind eye. Lovely neck to excellent shoulders with fore chest and correct depth. Short, strong loin to correctly angulated and well-muscled rear. Good amount of bone and nice feet and in good coat. Then to top it all his movement is just what I was after, true coming and going with just the right amount of convergence and a free ground covering yet unexaggerated side gait. Pleased to award the CC and then later Best in Show. A popular winner judging by the cheer.

2^nd     Turner’s Ch, Jsy Ch, Harmony Hill’s Here’s The Deal with Chakona ShCM imp. Another pleasing red tri of good outline and a pleasing head. Super front assembly with correct fore chest and depth of chest. Short loin to well angulated and well-muscled rear. Good bone and feet.  Another good mover and with a good coat.

1^st      Simmons’ Versace Suave Des Chemin Cathares ShCM imp. 9yr Blue Merle heading up a lovely class of ‘oldies’ who can still show some of the youngsters a thing or two. Very close between 1 and 2. Similar in body but different in head. A solid boy to go over, masculine in head with nice eye and ear but with a deeper stop than I was after. That said, everything else was very pleasing. Super front and rear assemblies with lovely bone and neat feet. Good depth to chest, short loin and correct rear angles. Best mover.

2^nd     Turner’s Ch, Jys & Am Ch Harmonyhillsatinfunnycideman at Chakona Pdh imp. Another 9yr old, a red tri. Personally I would like a little more of a wedge in the head but another with a well made body of good shape. Good depth of ribbing, short loin and lovely rear angles. Still a nice mover but not quite as positive as the winner.

1^st      Longhurst, Routledge & Gibbons’ Ch Allmark Spirit Of St Louis ShCM  (1^st in OD)

1^st      Parker’s Silverdreams Aussies Californias Blue of Ewespride.  2yr of good shape and correct proportions, masculine, well made fore and aft. Pleasing head with good ears, nice eye and expression. Steady mover.

2^nd     McNeil’s Allmark Out Of The Blue 3^rd in yearling, compact body, good head shape but his wide blaze does affect his expression, well made fore and aft. Steady mover, not a true as 1.

1^st      Summerley & Shave’s Sangosands Starlight over Quilmhair. 6yrs of good shape. Pleasing head with a lovely dark eye. Well set and very active ears. Well made with correct angles front and rear. Rather exuberant on the move but true and with good profile gait.

2^nd     Calton’s Tribbrook Beam Me Up Scotty (2^nd in PD)

1^st     Finlay’s Trigem Oceans Blurain with Overdrive CDex UDexWDexTd. 6yr Blue Mearl. Of good type and shape. I would have liked a bit of filling in at the cheeks to give more wedge shape to the head and he does have rather a sad expression. That said, he is well made front and rear and very well muscled all over. Good depth of chest with correct short loin. Very good rear movement and nice in profile. Does tend to run a little wide in front now.
