1st RAGUS ALL GUNS FIRING FOR AMICARO (MRS P KELL). Best Dog and BOB. Lovely type, cobby and compact, good breadth of skull and well-set ears. Good forehand with adequate bone and nicely padded feet. Short, level topline and well-set tail. Absolutely sound on the move and presented to best advantage. I was told afterwards that he has two CCs and I wish him luck for a third as he does deserve it.
2nd BARWEST BLAZE OF GLORY (MRS M E MCLAUGHLIN). Sadly he couldn’t match the winner’s showmanship but he has a pleasing masculine head, strong neck and sturdy well ribbed body. Moved out soundly and shown in a good jacket.

Puppy - Bitch

1st AMICARO LIGHT UP THE SKY (MRS P KELL). I see she is sired by the BOB winner and she too is cobby and well ribbed. Attractive head and expression, firm topline and good tailset. Very positive, driving hind action.
2nd TWIGG TANQUAREY WINFLASH NAF (MR I, MRS K & MISS C L PAGE). Not quite the maturity of the winner, she is a good type and had a pleasing head, good forehand, short back and moved well enough once settled.

1st RAGUS ROLY POLY PUDDING (MRS D BATEY). Very typical both in temperament and outline. Attractive head and expression, short well ribbed body. Harsh well-presented jacket. True and accurate on the move.
