A most enjoyable day at this well run show. A very welcoming committee who treated my husband and me with such kindness, nothing was any trouble. Very grateful to my two wonderful stewards Colin and Eileen who kept the day running so smoothly. Most of all thank you to all the exhibitors who brought some beautiful examples of this gorgeous breed under me, accepting all my decisions with good grace. A lovely day, I will always remember.
MPD
1. Dudek’s Easy to Love Carpathian White Smile for Blossomrain. Promising puppy of just 6 months with lots to like about him. Appealing head with good eye, excellent pigment and lovely expression. Nicely balanced throughout with good depth and correct rib. Lovely tail-set and well muscled in rear. Turned out in beautiful coat of excellent texture and condition. Moved with ease showing some good reach and drive, BPD & RBPIS.
PD
1. Mann’s Nikara Dream Maker. Very mischievous young male of 11 months who I liked very much. Masculine head with good ears and lovely eye, good pigment. Today, he was reluctant to be assessed and felt the floor surface did him no favours. Quality coat developing and presented in excellent condition. Moved well when he settled into his pace but a dog I would like to see move in a large outdoor space to see him at his best.
JD
1. Muncaster’s Altunha Northern Lights. Young male of 13 months with lovely head, good eye and excellent pigment but today excitable and very unsettled. Nicely balanced throughout with good front and well muscled rear, good depth of chest and rib. Lovely outline on stand with good tail-set. Coat developing well and presented in clean condition. When settled he showed some lovely movement both going away and on return.
2. Mann’s Nikara Dream Maker.

1. Gwynne’s Rosnorske Glacier Ice Blue. Nicely balanced male of 22 months who was very naughty and certainly giving his handler a hard time – not always a bad thing when such a nice temperament shows through! Masculine head with correct shaped eye and lovely expression. Good outline on the stand and nicely balanced all through with lovely angulation. Coat of good texture and well presented. Moved freely with good reach and drive but another I would like to see perform in a large outside area.

1. Mann’s Nikara Dream Maker.

1. Baxter’s Samhaven Frozen in Time. Liked this male of 2½ years with good head, pigment and expression. Correct body proportions and lovely outline both standing and on the move. Well angulated throughout with good depth of chest and rib, well muscled rear and good tail-set. Moved well in all directions and beautifully presented, coat of excellent quality, RBD.
2. Smith’s Nikitta Diamond Geezer. 3 year old with good head, nice eye and ears. Well angulated throughout with good feet, bone, depth of chest and rib. Presentation could have been a little more improved but he moved well enough when settled into his stride.
3. Young’s Furzeland Devon Blaze avec Cocosamel.
PGD
1. Gwynne’s Rosnorske Louis Lanson. Very smart boy of 2½ years. Masculine head with lovely expression and good pigment. Nicely angulated throughout with good topline and tail carriage, depth of chest and rib. Presented in quality jacket and moved with fluent reach and drive.
2. Muncaster’s Archaeus Absolute Ice. Upstanding male of 2½ years, a little on the tall side for me and would like a little more balance in body. Nicely angulated with well muscled rear and good tail carriage. Showed some nice reach and drive when settled into his stride.

1. Dudek’s Lighto The Twinkling Star of Blossomrain (Imp Bel) ShCM. Beautifully turned out male of nearly 5 years with correct body proportions. Appealing head and expression with good eye and pigment. Lovely angulation all through with pleasing shoulder angulation, well muscled rear and correct tail-set. Presented in immaculate condition and moved well in all directions. A lovely example of this breed, BD, BOS & RBIS.
2. Dent’s Danrobian Snow Mischief to Snowsense. A larger type, 6 years, with pleasing head, eye and expression, just a little overdone for me. Good front and depth of chest, nicely angulated in rear with good tail carriage. Moved well and nicely presented.
VD
1. Woodhead’s Vandreem Imperial Kennedy from Pashka. Pleasing veteran dog just turning 7 years. Correct size with appealing head, good eye, ears and lovely expression. Good depth of chest and nice front assembly. Balanced all through, he moved freely with good reach, although at times did have a tendency to pace. Well presented in good coat, BVIS.
PB
1. Dent’s Whitespirit Madam Mischief. Two very nice bitches that both appealed to me very much. Quality bitch of 9 months with lovely head and expression, good pigment and eye. Beautifully angulated all through with good shoulder placement and depth of chest. Moved well in all directions and was turned out and presented immaculately. An absolute joy to assess with beautiful manners, BPB & BPIS.
2. Brandenberg’s Nikara Chasing Dreams for Taronakits. Another beautiful girl just short of 12 months. Lovely angulation all through with good shoulder placement and depth of chest. Lovely feminine head and expression with good pigment and eye. Presented in first class condition, she moved with ease in all directions. Believe she picked up her final JW in the Junior Bitch class, well deserved.

1. Brandenberg’s Nikara Chasing Dreams for Taronakits.
2. Bolderson’s Annasirius Angel Spirit. Loved this girl of 17 months. Very appealing in head with lovely expression and eye. Good bone, pleasing shoulder and good depth of chest, lovely in outline standing and when settled on the move. Beautifully presented in good coat, this young bitch was less than impressed being handled in ‘different hands’, although very much noted the handler took the time and patience to encourage her to show. She was a lovely example of the breed.
3. Willcock’s Blossomrain Moonlight Song of Dynar.
YB
1. Goddard’s Timras Coreen of the Mist. Well turned out feminine girl of 22 months, pleasing head and expression with good pigment. Nice outline standing and good angulation throughout with well muscled rear and lovely tail carriage. Had a tendency to ‘lift’ a little too much at the front when moving out but nonetheless a bitch with a lovely temperament and turned out immaculately.

1. Thomas’ Zeelukzak Om Shanti. Nicely made bitch, 2 years and of correct size. Lovely outline both on the stand and moving. Feminine head with good eye, pigment and lovely expression. Pleasing shoulder assembly with good bone and depth of chest. Beautifully well presented and coat of correct texture and good quality. She moved well in all directions.
PGB
1. Gwynne’s Rosnorske L’Anaya Laurent. Feminine bitch just short of 4 years, another turned out and presented well. Lovely head with good eye, pigment and expression. Nicely angulated all through with well toned rear, she showed a nice outline standing. Good depth of chest and body proportions. Another who wasn’t keen on floor surface and felt would have given a better performance in an outside space.
LB
1. Freer’s Nikara Kall Me Kreateve. Ultra feminine bitch of just over 2 years turned out and presented in tip-top condition. Most appealing head with gorgeous eye and expression, excellent pigment. Beautifully angulated all through with correct body proportions and good depth of chest. This bitch ticked all the right boxes for me for size and breed type. Moved with ease and was fluent in all directions. Loved everything about her and was pleased to award her BB and BIS.
2. Durrant’s Samnouska Time to Shine of Karenshko. Another of lovely quality with that endearing yet alert expression. Well angulated all through with good body proportions, depth of chest and rib. Looked well both standing and moving and was fluent in all directions. Well muscled rear with good tail carriage, she was turned out and presented in beautiful condition, RBB.
3. Woodhead’s Zeelukzak Ice N’ Precious from Pashka.
VB
1. Young’s Kimeekasams Miss Chief. 8 year old bitch in fair coat. Good head with lovely expression. Pleasing front with correct body proportions and depth of chest and rib. Nicely angulated all through with well muscled rear and good tail carriage. Moved well.
2. Wilkes’ Vandreem Imperial Cerruti. Another 8 year old bitch nicely angulated throughout with correct body proportions. Good depth of chest and rib with well muscled rear and correct tail carriage. A little untidy in rear when moving but otherwise presented .
Brace
Young’s Brace. A very reluctant brace but a completely determined handler so very well done. They did look well together and with a little more practise, I’m sure everyone will be stepping out together as one. All presented in lovely condition, dog and human alike!
