DOGS: Minor Puppy Dog No Entries Puppy Dog (1 Entry, 0 Absent) 1st - Higgins Potterdale Highland Plus at Allachoy. 10mth old slate with white markings. Liked his size and his height to length ratios. Can be a bit of a handful but his handler was working hard with him. Head is developing well, dark eye and correct bite. Shoulder angulation and rear angulation in balance. Enough length of rib and forechest. Need to settle into himself on the move as not currently showing the forward reaching movement his construction suggests he is capable of. Best Puppy Dog, Res Best Puppy In Show. Junior Dog (5 Entries, 0 Absent) 1st - Baker & Van De Hoef Malandex Xciting Image. 15mth old slate shown in fit, hard condition and handled to get the best out of him. Still some maturing to do both in body and coat which will improve the look of his height to length ratios. Has a well shaped and proportioned head with a broad, flat skull and dark eye. Shoulders are well set on and they are well angulated, decent length and depth of rib and strong loin. Strong topline held well both on the stand and when moving. Won this class on his free, effortless movement. 2nd - Delaney Rollo De Maeluma at Arranbrae (Imp Esp). Another 15mth slate who presents an appealing outline, good size for a male. Head is balanced skull to muzzle, decent strength to muzzle, skull could broaden further to advantage. Decent length of neck, shoulder placement and angulation fine, well muscled throughout, strong loin Moved well. 3rd -Costello Calkylona Midnite Shadow. Liked his size and body proportions. Shown in good coat and condition. Presents well both on the stand and moving unfortunate to meet 1&2 today who I felt had better balance of front and rear angulation and ribbing. Best Scottish Bred Dog Yearling Dog (4 Entries, 0 Absent) 1st - Baker & Van De Hoef Malandex Xciting Image. Repeat 2nd - Delaney Rollo De Maeluma at Arranbrae (Imp Esp). Repeat 3rd - Kuz Farmarens Peter Pan at Strufingill JW. Presents with an attractive outline on the stand, head proportions are balanced but would like his skull to broaden. Eye colour ok and has good pigmentation, liked his length of neck, shoulders are well placed and angulation ok. Shown in good body condition. Not as free flowing on the move as 1 & 2. Novice Dog (2 Entries, 0 Absent) 1st - Kuz Farmarens Peter Pan at Strufingill JW. Repeat. 2nd - Long Talraz Signs of Spring at Bearbria. Reserve in previous class.

Has an appealing, masculine head with a dark eye, correct bite and good pigmentation. Shoulders are well set on and angulation is fine, enough rib and strong topline. Not at his most settled today and having a different handler to move him I don’t feel gave him the best chance to show his true potential. 3rd - Cox Strufingill Top Gun for Coirantee. 2yr old slate, shown in good body and coat condition.

Limit Dog (4 Entries, 1 Absent) 1st - Butcher Sylvabrae Newton’s Law. 4yr old blue who is coming into his own and shown in excellent coat and condition. Commanded the ring today and couldn’t be ignored even though on the move he could set challenges for his handler.

Liked her head , decent width of skull, neck flows well into shoulders that are well set on and well angulated. Enough length and depth of rib, firm topline and well muscled hindquarters.

Has a well balanced and proportioned head.
