My thanks to stewards Vanessa, Gemma and Zoe. A lovely entry thank you exhibitors for allowing me to asses your beautiful breed it was a real privilege and pleasure. Nothing disappointed me in going over your dogs on the day congratulations to you all for putting the breed in what appears to me to be a good place in the showring.

1st		Testaverde Selwyn Flogit	Hope	Rising two years nine months b/r super square build very proportionate outline super coat on show with length and coarse texture thick tail strong bone large round feet. Excellent substance and robust appearance sound on the move in front rear action acceptable well sprung ribcage firm across the loins well coupled pleasing breed topline. Slightly broad in skull for me personally.
2nd		Sanjika Kyros	Griffin	Two years three months o/r a head I preferred to that of the winner correct planes excellent extended trot on show sound mover squarely built but not standing and giving of his best in the ring on the day nor quite carrying the coat finish of the winner I considered and not possessing his body substance and finish.

1st		Diggmere Winwood Ranger	Cayford & Hanscombe	Five years nine months b/r correct head planes head balanced full wide nostrils squarely solidly built frame straight true front with length of upper arm good depth of body could appear stronger at the hocks I considered. Delightful temperament thick docked tail moved with a super extended profile trot thick coat with length muscled hindquarters. Both exhibits were a tad broad in skull for me but possessed kind typical expressions.
2nd		Stagerun Matteo	Collett	Five years o/w very solid build excellent overall muscling not quite the square outline of the winner I considered attractive head and expression very strong across the loins though rather mature and deep bodied for me. Lovely furnishings on show full brows wide nostrils coat thick with length and correct texture thick tail. Would prefer him slightly more upstanding in front and considered him tending slightly close behind when moving on the day.

A most lovely spinone DCC & BOB and pleased to see him pulled in the last eight dogs in the group. Congratulations.
2nd		Diggmere Tiger Swallowtail (JW)	Duncan	Four years nine months o/r pushed the winner hard rangier in outline than the winner and a slightly better mover I considered very sound sweeping action with impressive extended trot ground covering attractive furnishings moustached pleasing for masculine size giving the impression of solid mature fit substance though not quite the body finish of the winner. Croup correctly set and broad typical head planes attractive head proportions and kind expression ears well set shaped and lengthy strong straight bone strong pasterns well rounded and firmly padded feet. Not quite the spring of ribcage of the winner on show but a most lovely typical spinone unlucky to meet the winner on such form RDCC.

1st		Piccolonoce Vanilla Crunch	Lea	Six years three months o/w pleasing for size balance shoulders particularly well set solid straight true front plenty of fore-chest on show the best mover in the class on the day for me with extended reach and ground covering drive.

Lovely proportionate feminine head and kind expression though ears a tad long I considered attractive head furnishings powerful across the loin well sprung ribcage reach back correct overall angulation.
