Manchester - 16/01/2026	Pat Butler-Holley
Thank you for being such sporting exhibitors , we did have to wait a while to get in the ring but timings all went well. A huge thank you to my stewards Jean and Joyce both keeping the ring flowing at all times. I did come across a few indifferent bites but in the main I felt the quality was good and thank you for a good quality entry especially as it was Friday. To keep dogs clean in the winter and one that’s been so wet I applaud you all. Thank you once again.

1st		Drurylowe Sage	Reay	Both dogs presented a good overall impression and great conformation, one exhibit carried its tail very high, one wasn’t as together as the other. Many of my comments on both are so similar well-built good conformation presenting a really good overall outline. Both well-handled and presented very well. Good luck for the future with both of them, delighted to award him Best special Beginners, and wish his handler all the very best for the future and well done.

1st		Michiamo Vivvy Wizz	Anderson & Mayne	full of breed type, fab head and expression, well balanced head giving that typical spinone look. The whole impression when stacked was a puppy full of quality. Such a youngster he moved ok just not quite relaxed as I would have liked to see. but his overall quality won the day.
2nd		Brewnel Bar by Stowledge	Barrett	at 8 months of age, he has so much quality and I'm sure will develop with time.

1st		August Dreamer	Mann	at 16 months old I was impressed with his overall conformation , he had the soundest of movement for one so young. He just needs time to develop more body, but his overall quality in my opinion is very special. So well handled and presented very well.
2nd		Osulf Peanuts Barney	Blanchard	powerful and well muscled youngster, lots to like about him great moving dog in profile. I'm sure he will go on to develop into a first class dog.

1st		Make A Splash	Mann	RCC, his overall outline and body shouted look at me. His head is a delight as his expression, good strong neck , flowing into well angulated strong and powerful shoulders. Good strong well developed pro sternum, good well sprung ribs. So well balanced in body and he holds his topline when on the moved. Presented in fab condition.
2nd		Lajatico Biagio	Lancaster	slightly lighter in overall body than winner , but again so well put together. Moved when especially when viewed in profile displaying good footfall. Should have a bright future.

1st		Affilato Jump With Style at Rydonmist	Beecham & Sharp	this exhibit was giving his handler a very hard time of it today. Once together he stood away in order to win the class, At almost 2 years of age he has so much more to come and will trouble the best. I loved his well-balanced head and expression, strong neck and the best of shoulders, great body proportions. He moved with easy covering the ground well. Sadly in the challenge he frustratingly wasn’t allowing his handler to get the best from him.
2nd		Stagerun Matteo	Collett	lots to like about this dog especially is overall conformation , however when on the move in my opinion he just needed a little more enthusiasm.

His overall quality shouts out clearly. He is so well balanced in all departments. He moves as one hopes and expects him to do holding his topline well with that free unhurried movement. Delighted to award him the DCC and BOB today. Congratulations

1st		Stowledge Scilla at Incantevole (JW)	Kruglow	she was so very close for top honours. I fell for her in all aspects she is so very pretty her head is so balanced, good strong powerful neck, clean strong shoulders and the best of ribs. Strong quarters and moved so very well. I do actually think at the age of 20months she has so much more to come and I hope to watch her with interest.
