BABY DOG
1st: HORTONPARK KINGS RANSOM - Brown
“Strong puppy that is very well constructed and due to that he has a lovely outline. Masculine in head, which is a nice one piece wedge shape. Sweet expression. Well rounded muzzle and strong underjaw. Well set ears. Sturdy body with strong bone. The body is longer than high. Has a nice arched neck, has good angulations and good substance and is very sound on the move. Lovely temperament with plenty of self-confidence. I am just worried about his size.”
2nd: ELECTRO POSTER BOY - Rowden
“Still a baby and needs time to get more self confidence. Nice size and lovely breed type. Masculine head with a sweet expression. He had a well rounded muzzle, almond shaped eyes that are nice and dark. Ears are well set, they tip rather light at this moment. Nice angulations and good substance in body. Moved very coordinated and with drive and stride.”
MINOR DOG
1st: MALIDDIE HUDSON ROCKS - Gordon
“Excellent in breed type. He had a lovely head with a sweet expression due to the almond-shaped, obliquely set eyes. Well carried ears. Flat skull with a good parallel. Nice substance in body and is well angulated. Moved with drive and stride. Has a good length to height ratio. Still, he crossed over a bit on the move, probably because he was presented at too fast a pace.”
2nd: RAWUCH HERE IS TOBY - Hamilton
“Very elegant dog of correct size and excellent in type. Lovely head with a sweet expression. Nice flat skull, good parallel and correct set ears. Enough neck. I like to see a little more front angulation and fore chest. Just enough substance in body for his age, but needs to drop in body in time. Lovely coat. Moved with drive but could have a bit more stride in front.”
3rd: GAVEND SAINT I AINT - Carroll
“Lovely in size and substance in body. Sweet in expression, very definite stop. Could have better balance between muzzle and skull. Lovely outline. Nice sweep over the loins. Is at this stage slightly cow-hocked. Keeps his nice outline on the move. Could have a bit more stride in front. Lovely coat.”
JUNIOR DOG
1st: SHATRIN SAINTS BECKON - Limkin
“Spot on for size. Lovely overall balance. Masculine head, wedge shaped one piece, correct stop and flat skull, well rounded muzzle and a sweet expression and enough refinement. The ears tip sometimes a little light. Balanced in body, with fitting bone and excellent angulations. Elegant topline, with a good reach of neck, straight back and a lovely sweep over the loins. He kept that topline also on the move. Well developed ribcage with good depth and fore chest. Good length in body. Striking on the move: smooth, lithe with plenty drive and stride and excellent tail carriage. On top of that a lovely fitting coat.”
+ RESERVE CHALLENGE DOG & JUNIOR IN SHOW +
2nd: MALLARABA MINDREADER - Pfeiffer
“Lovely size and shape. Masculine in head with a well rounded muzzle and sweet expression. Well defined stop. He should not grow any stronger in skull. Nice arched neck , straight back and elegant line over the croup. Lovely fitting bone and good substance. Moved with drive and stride. Coat looked a little dry today.”
3rd: ELECTRO SPECIAL ATTRACTION - Rowden
“Spot on for size. Nice rich in colour. Masculine one-piece head that could be softer in expression. Nice shape and good spring of ribs. Well angulated in front. Could be better angulated in rear. On the move he could have more drive behind.”

Nice almond shaped eye that could be slightly more oblique set. Lovely well rounded muzzle with a strong but not coarse underjaw. Correct set ears. Enough reach of neck, adequate angles in front and well angulated in the rear. Nice spring of ribs and good substance in body. Little longer than high. Balanced on the move, with good drive and stride. Excellent tail carriage. Well fitting coat, which shines and has a lovely deep mahogany colour which makes him very attractive.”
2nd: CH HARTLY STAR WITNESS – Pearson & Addison
“Masculine dog with a rich coat and lovely bone. Good length in body with good substance. Sweet expression, almond shaped eye, well rounded muzzle that is just strong enough for the skull. Should not grow stronger in skull. Prefer a bit more neck for elegance. Adequate angles in front, well angulated in the rear and nice sweep over the loins. Bit loose in front on the move. Excellent tail carriage.”
3rd: CH INNESLAKE RISING SUN - Hedge
“Elegant in shape and good size. Masculine enough in head that is very lean and has a very definite stop. Well set ears. The front is put a bit forward, that is why his elbows are a bit loose. Nice sweep over the loins and well angulated behind. The movement should be more forward and less upward. Lovely black coat with rich tan markings.”
AUSTRALIAN BRED DOG
1st: CH LEARICK LIQUORICE ALLSORTS - French
“Not a showing fool, that is why he doesn’t show his ears, which he can carry correct. He has ideal size, is well balanced and has fitting bone. Good length and substance in body. Refined and masculine wedge shaped head with a sweet expression, certainly for a tricolour. Well rounded muzzle, lovely dark eye, flat skull. Enough neck, in front adequate angulated in the rear well angulated. Moved correct with enough drive and stride.”

Lovely arched neck, good forechest, straight back and elegant sweep over the loins. Nice spring of ribs and good length in body. Excellent on the move, smooth, lithe with plenty of drive and strike.

3rd: SUP CH TIAKINA TILYABLUINTHFACE - Hickey
“8 year old, very elegant and glamorous dog which doesn’t show his age in body. Long refined head. Well set ears. Still could have a bit more depth in body. Adequate in angulations. Nicely coordinated on the move. The blue merle colour has a lovely clear blue and is well broken.”
OPEN DOG

Refined in head which is a lovely long blunt wedge in one piece. Well rounded muzzle and flat in cheeks, flat skull which is parallel. Correct stop. The nose could be straighter, but it doesn’t bother in the expression. He is masculine and yet he has a very sweet expression due to the beautiful almond shaped oblique set eyes. Well set ears. Excellent in angulations, good length in body. Moves with plenty of drive and stride. Lovely shining, fitting coat and on top of that he has a beautiful, deep mahogany colour.”
