Harvey 1st limit dog
Each time I see him the more I ike him, he grows on you with his charming personality, excellent body shape and topline, correct tail set, liked his head, well broken ears, another one of the few with strong round bone, so well balanced enabling him to move with ease, very attentive to handler, tip top presentation odds on for the future.
Winnie 1st maiden and Novice 2nd minor puppy bitch
Another super black bitch from this kennel, she looks so like her dam I found it quite remarkable. Well up on her feet, really compact toes and tiday nails, good balance of decoraton, mature in attitude for one so young, nice head and ears well handled has great potential.
Chloe won her final cc making her a champion - Yipee!!
This lovely b/w bitch is really on her toes, a real carriage dog who I am sure could go lal day and then some more. Pretty face, dark eyes perfect topline that she holds so well on the move, strong hind quarters, driving with power, well angululated ben of stifle, good front, nicely arched neck. Correct length of body, excellent tail set, nice front, well defined muscle.
A brilliant duo dog and handler in perfect unison, a real joy to watch them moving around the ring together, so very natural, such balanced movement with a spring in their step. For me she befits the standard turned out in superb condition a real show girl and her handler others would do well to take note of this young ladies sheer professionalism. A real winning combination so proud to award her her third CC a worthy champion. Well done and well deserved CC and RBIS.
Thank you so much Wendy.

Harvey
British Dalmatian Club
Harvey 1st Mid limit dog and considered for RCC. Pat Wilson. A very special win for our lovely lad. Thank you Pat for the lovliest write up.
A youngster who could easily be overlooked in view of his lighter spotting but a totally sound dog who excelled in correct constrution and movement. Clean lines. Classic head with no trace of courseness. Kind expression. Strong topline. Nicely muscled hindquarters. Deep chest with plenty of heart and lung room. Correct tailset. He was one of the best movers here today - hind legs showing drive and front legs tracking both coming and going.

Winnie 1st and best puppy bitch.
Winnie gained her Junior warrant subject to KC confirmation.
Very pretty baby of correct size & nicely balanced, pleasing neck and topline, free both ways from her satisfying construction one for the future.
Chloe also came 2nd in a huge champion stakes class under Stuart Milner which we were thrilled about. At least this judge was not blinded by the age of the handler.
Welsh KC
We got the news there was a change of judge and it worked in our favour.
Winnie got 1st puppy bitch and best puppy bitch
Very showy black well constructed & held together on the move. apeals in head and expression, straight front to well knuckled feet, clean arched neck, developed ribcage, firm topline and tailset. Well developed 2nd thigh.
Chloe got CC & BOB and then after her only 2nd time in the big ring got a group 3. I was so proud for Charlotte. Chloe looked amazing if I do say so myself.
Delighted to see her since she grew up she was my BP last time I judged quite striking in outline enhanced by good decoration, feinine head with length and strength, dark eyes excellent front assembly and straight front to deep well knuckled feet, plenty of heart and lung room here. Short firm loin. straight in back with tail set on beautifully. Well muscled rear with second thigh well defined, true up and back and flows around the ring with minimal effort. A very worthy CC and BOB and glad to see she apealed the group judge where she annexed a group 3
Thank you Rodney Oldham.
Sadly the day after this show my beloved BB attacked Chloe to the extent we were left with no option but to have her put to sleep. Chloe will consequently be out of the ring for a while which is devestating for Charlotte.
Darlington.
Harvey 2nd Limit
Very soundly made B/S soundly made b/s with a lot to like. Pleasing head and expression though his markings make him apear rather plain. Good feet round bone good neck well defined withers. well sprung ribs and level topline. Good hind angulation with good width to thigh. Well set tail which is thick at root. On the move very sound coming and going in profile has easy free action keeping a good outline.
Winnie got a 1st again in the YKC stakes.
Impressive muscular body, lovely temperment moved freely Moved freely coping with the conditions.
today we took our baby girl Summer to a companion show on Sunday under Ray McDonald who was very patient and she performed very well. Although we have struggled she is now starting to come out of herself and is due to make her debut Midland Counties.
