Minor Puppy BItch (4 entries, 3 absent)
1st Gregory & Warwick's CAIRNSTORM RENEGADE
6 months old, shapely puppy, good bite, well set ears, balanced well angulated front and good depth of rib, well angulated rear with lovely wide hock joint, notably well off for bone, very together on the move for his age, tail carried low.
1st Gregory's KILLOUGHERY REDEMPTION#
Very appealing rangy puppy, very shapely, lovely long well-proportioned head, ear well set, plenty of bone and excellent feet, nicely angulated front and matching rear, moved out with a sound free action, wagging her tail and enjoying her day.
Puppy Dog (2 entries)
Puppy Bitch (4 entries, 4 absent)
1st S Evans's KILLOUGHERY RICOCHET WITH BRAEWISAN
Slightly finer and rangier tall pup, lovely long head, ear set high and rosed, nicely laid forehand, well angled rear, loved his overall length and scope, rather playful today but when he settled, easy action and moves true.
2nd R J Evans's GALLANT WARRIOR
Substantial
puppy enjoying his day, nice masculine head, slightly large ear, well laid shoulder,
and upper arm, at this stage narrow through his front, well ribbed back and
fair hind angulation.
Junior Dog (5 entries, 1 absent)
Junior Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
1st Pateman's WHITEORCHARD ATLAS
Handsome hound, well-proportioned standing over plenty of ground, good length of neck well laid forequarters, excellent bone, tight feet, nice rise over the loin, well tucked up underline, correct slope over the croup into well angled rear long thighs of good width and muscle, and low lock joint, very light easy active movement.
2nd Reeves's WHITEORCHARD ARCTURUS
Litter brother and very similar in all aspects, he is a little broader in head and today felt heavier set, but lovely curvy outline, plenty of bone and leg length, well angled fore and rear, good reach on the move.
3rd Hooper's FLOYDIAN AFFRIC
Substantial
dog of good type, rather playing his handler today, well-proportioned head,
good length of neck into well laid shoulder and upper arm, good depth all
through, little too steep in croup, nicely bent stifle, would like a little
more width of hock joint.
Res Croucher's ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE
1st Heather's WHITEORCHARD AURORA
Rangy outline, head of good length proportions, ear small well set, nice shoulder would prefer more lay to upper arm, well ribbed back and super well angulated hindquarters with wide hock set low, nice rise over loin to correctly laid croup and good tail set. Easy flowing true action on the move.
2nd Webb & Simmons's FLOYDIAN INCHYRA
Really liked her type, very substantial, good chest, well laid shoulder and upper arm, good tuck up well ribbed back and well angulated hind quarters. A little steep over the croup now and touch close behind today but one to watch.
3rd Sales's OH BABY! VON DER EICHENKOPPEL (IMP DEU)
Wheaten of rangy proportions, pretty head, rosed ear, good width of chest, good bone, good depth of chest and balanced front and rear angulation, just looking rather bum high in her growth at the moment.
Yearling Dog (2 entries)
Yearling Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
1st Hooper's FLOYDIAN AFFRIC
See above.
2nd Croucher's ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE
When stacked he has a lot to like about him, very
tall red hound, a little plain in head, good ears well set, strong neck, nice
lines to him, plenty of length, all his growth has gone upwards losing his
angulation at this age and causing him to be narrow. Flying his tail on the move and moving close
behind, needs time.
1st Forret's
2nd Ashby's ASHGROAVE CRYSTAL SOVOY
VALKIRIA DELLA BASSA PAVESE AT CULVERCROFT (IMP ITA)
Close between 1 and 2. This bitch is balanced in proportions, would prefer harsher coat, good forechest, well laid shoulders, good depth of body, short loin, well tucked up underline, and nicely angulated rear, carrying plenty of muscle and when in sync with her handler, lovely sound action.
Lovely typey bitch, good length of neck, well laid shoulder and upper arm and super forechest. Good depth of body, just looking too long in loin today, nice topline and rear angles, moving touch close behind, but will watch her with interest.
3rd Kingsely & Cope's
BONAFORTES WISH COME TRUE FOR DAINWOLF
Tall bitch with pretty head of good proportions. Houndy outline, at this young age, just needing more depth and width of chest, with more layback of upperarm. Nicely angled hindquarters, tight feet. Super reach in side action and moving true towards.
Novice Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)
Novice Bitch (8 entries, 5 absent)
1st Harpwood's GAELMARQUE DARK HORSE AT FINLOREN
Handsome head, well set ear, feels rather heavy over the shoulder, ribbing carried well back, plenty of width across pelvis would prefer more rear angulation. Very free and easy side movement.
1st Heather's WHITEORCHARD AD ASTRA
Stood out for balance and outline. Lovely head small well-set ear, good length of neck with broad set into a good shoulder lay, complimentary upper arm set, giving good forechest. Preferred her overall breadth and bone, deep ribs well carried back, correct rise over loin and gentle slope to croup, well angled rear. Movement easy and flowing true in all directions.
2nd Sale's MANEATER VON DER EICHENKOPPEL (IMP DEU)
Bitch of lovely type, balanced shape, well ribbed body, good topline and underline, enough rear angulation, tight feet, easy smooth moving hound with plenty of reach.
3rd Bruce's KILLOUGHERY TALIA
Balanced outline, perfectly set ears, would like a little more length of muzzle, good topline, well boned forelegs of good length, nicely angulated rear.
Graduate Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)
Graduate Bitch (7 entries, 3 absent)
1st Severn-Kumar's GAELMARQUE RUSSET ROMAN
My notes say very sound typical dog with lovely side action, kept in for the movement cup. I would like to see a slightly better lay of upper arm, but he has plenty of depth and is well-ribbed back, good top line, short loin, and nicely angled quarters with good line over the croup, tight feet.
1st Pinkney's HYDEBECK DREAM OF DREAMS
Upstanding wheaten bitch who certainly has a commanding appearance. Nice head, lovely small rose ear, strong neck into good shoulder and upperarm, deep ribs well carried back, short loin, super angulated hindquarters, broad with plenty of muscle. Good profile reach but wouldn’t settle moving up and down.
2nd Forret's
VALKIRIA DELLA BASSA PAVESE AT CULVERCROFT (IMP ITA)
See above
I don’t think this bitch had been to a show before, she has so much to like about her. Her movement up and down is untidy, but good in profile. She is such an old-fashioned type, lovely head, small ear, nicely angulated front and rear with deep ribs carried well back, good feet.

Post Graduate Bitch (6 entries, 4 absent)
1st Dawson's HYDEBECK DREAM TYME OF GRAEFYN
Presents a lovely outline when stacked, would prefer a shade more length of leg, well angled rear quarters with low hock, nicely laid shoulder and upperarm, masculine head, small neat ear, moving close behind today and flying his tail.
2nd Fox's NEWDIGATE MARLON BRANDO (AI)
Very tall male, won the height cup. Balanced height to length, but he’s lost angulation in his upward growth and is rather narrow, hope he settles into his huge frame, moves well behind, lovely tight feet.
1st Pinkney's HYDEBECK DREAM OF DREAMS
See above.
2nd Pateman's GLYDAS GOLD MOTH
Young bitch, a lot to like about her, super front angulation, depth and breadth of chest, good underline, nice rise over loin to gentle slope over croup. Moves out with plenty of reach, just needs to tidy up in rear action a little, promising girl.
Limit Dog (3 entries, 2 absent)
Limit Bitch (8 entries, 3 absent)
1st Webb's FLOYDIAN SYRACUSE AT FOINAVEN
Really liked this typey male, carrying too much coat at the moment, masculine head of good even proportions, small tight ear, touch low set. Lovely shoulder and upper arm set, matching rear angulation, wide hock joint, body well ribbed back, side action smooth, correct rise over topline to croup. Rear action bit uncoordinated today.
1st Fox's BARRASSY'S COPYRIGHT JW
Very feminine bitch, nothing flashy about her, everything flows so seamlessly under the hand. A curvaceous outline from her neck to her shoulder, topline, and croup. She is well-boned with tight feet, good underline and sweeping hindquarters, has the width of pelvis and good muscle tone, moves with a light, easy gait, foot perfect driving off low hocks, covering the ground without effort.
2nd Crosse's GOLDSWIFT SWEET DISCOVERY
Not dissimilar to 1, but longer cast. Flowing lines, plenty of depth, would like a touch more fill in front, ribbing deep and carried well back to super angulated hindquarters, lovely topline and line to croup, easy mover.
3rd Pask's BARONGLEN MISS MATILDA
Upstanding bitch with a lovely head, and strong neck, fair shoulder but forward set upper arm and needs more forechest, good depth of body and broad well angled muscular hindquarters, moves well in profile and true fore and aft.

1st Das Purkayastha's
BALLYPHELAN ASANSOL AMONG NECKREBAGH
Heading a class of three very different males but all good type. I liked this hound for his balance, he had the better width in chest; strongly muscled neck with plenty of breadth into well laid shoulder and upper arm, body well ribbed back, good tuck up, gentle rise over loin to a well laid croup with plenty of width across his pelvis. Well angulated rear and broad hock joint set nice and low, sound stead movement and good rear action.
2nd Sumner's BALLYPHELAN AMADEUS
Littermate to 1 and a lovely shapely hound, more elegant in type, lovely head, and balanced overall shape, plenty of leg length and angulation, moved strongly around the ring, his brother had the edge on him today. RCC.
3rd Webb's GOLDSWIFT MISSION POSSIBLE FOR INKLEYBOYS
More compact hound. Super head, good length of neck, nicely laid shoulder, good forechest, plenty of depth of rib, correct rise over loin and croup, nice easy profile action.
1st Treadwell's FLOYDIAN SAVANNA
Not the biggest bitch but so well made. Nice head though touch short in foreface, small well-set ear. No exaggeration about her, arched neck into nicely set forehand, upper arm is well set but would benefit from a touch more length, she has forechest, deep ribs carried well back into well angulated muscular rear, she looks like a hunter, liked her a lot. RCC.

1st Cramphorn's YELXBA VICTORIA ShCM
Strongly made balanced bitch and one I have always liked. Well angulated front and rear well filled chest, very pleasing to go over and such sound movement. I had her pencilled in to challenge for the movement cup.
2nd Evans's BRAEWISAN ORLAITH
Very pretty girl, nicely angulated, plenty of breadth through chest and body, good line over the loin, moved out with energy and enthusiasm.
