No 1: CH DAJAN SKIES THE LIMIT AT SANDAWANA (IMP UK)
This upstanding dog is impressive with good height, conformation, profile and angulation in the hindquarters.  Head solid but could do with more fill and width, held with god reach of neck.  At times his feet turn out at the front and when moving.  He is a stable mover and could have more bone for size and shorter back.  Nose slightly butterfly.  Otherwise this is the best imported dog from England I have seen in South Africa.  A deserved winner and looked as if he owned the ring.

No 2:  CH KLINGHILL'S BLADE RUNNER OF LUSAHN (IMP NETH)
Smaller than the overall winner this was the only other dog that could compete.  His head is superb with excellent turn, fill and deep set eye.  Where he fell away was his conformation but compared favorable on movement and overall conformation.

No 6:  IZIGHALO RUNAROUND PETE
I selected No6 for his outstanding head, expression and movement.  Good reach of neck and layback of shoulder.  When excited he tended to carry his tail high but not over his back. He was well proportioned with good conformation, short back, excellent hindquarters and bone.  He was not as heavy as No 9 but with superior movement and head, deserved to win the class.

No 9:  NEXCON WHITE AS NIGHT AT NEXWIN
This dog was overall heavier than the winner but was lacking in hindquarters and movement.  Good head with more than adequate profile and fill.

No 16:  CH DENERAD MR ICE OF RIALZISTA
Big upstanding dog with excellent head, bone and good movement.  Short back with slight roach, good tail placement.  His head needs mention as it has good fill, width, length, depth of muzzle and down-face resulting in a great expression.  He was a bit fiery in temperament but easily controllable.

No 13:  CH BULLRAGE FRANCESKOW OF KLAPNEL
I found this dog to have an excellent ring presence and was in excellent condition.  He had an excellent head, expression and moved superbly in all directions.  Compared to many others he had a well defined roach with overall excellent conformation.  He ended up being Best Mover.

No 11:  CH ANIRO ST CHRISTOPHER
Personally I believed his head did not compare to my choice in profile, width and expression. He was taller on the leg and a heavier dog with acceptable movement but seemed lethargic on the day.  He has looked and shown far better in the past.

No 25:  GRISSEBASSE KYKKELI KOKKOS OF LUSAHN (IMP NETH)
This was the only bitch in the class and I did not judge.

No 34:  KINGSTONIA FULL CIRCLE
An outstanding feature of this bitch was her excellent head.  She has good profile, fill and depth of muzzle.  Currently bottom jaws are weak, but she had a wide and strong under-jaw.  She is not the largest bitch but has a straight front, good hind angulation with turn of stifle and second thigh.  Good top-line and movement.  I would hike to have seen more bone.  Also winner of Best Coloured Bitch.

A classic bitch with excellent profile, expression, width and depth of muzzle.  Good layback of shoulder, nice reach of neck.  Correct bite with broad square jaw.  She has an excellent front with good bone and well defined and angulated hindquarters.  She has a broad chest, good conformation but could have had a slightly shorter back.  Her movement was sound in all directions.

No 1:  CH DAJAN SKIES THE LIMIT AT SANDAWANA (IMP UK)(Harrision)
The dog was more outstanding than the bitch and as mentioned earlier the bitch showed signs of a recent litter and was not in top condition.  My co-judge was in agreement.

No 11:  CH ANIRO ST CHRISTOPHER (O Prinsloo)
I preferred the bitch No 34:  KINGSTONIA FULL CIRCLE who was more balanced, better shown and in better dondition than the dog.  My co-judge decided on the dog and the split decision went to the dog No 11:  CH ANIRO ST CHRISTOPHER.

I was not required up front to judge this class but my conclusion on an improvement in movement was substantiated by the number of exhibits nominated for this class.  After a difficult class two excellent movers were selected an d I was required to make the final decision.  I must commend both these exhibits on excellent movement and showmanship.  The first was a bitch No 48:  CH RHINESTONE ROUGH MAGIC OF DANNEL who moved squarely in front and back with good lateral movement.  The winner however was No 13:  CH BULLRAGE FRANCESKOW OF KLAPNEL who moved comparable to the bitch both coming and going but outclassed her in drive and power on lateral movement from strong hindquarters.

No 1:  CH DAJAN SKIES THE LIMIT AT SANDAWANA (IMP UK)
This was not an easy decision as both were excellent specimens.  Looking at overall virtues I preferred winner of the DOGS OVER 2 YEARS - No 16:  CH DENERAD MR ICE OF RIALZISTA for his overall balance, head and movement.  I would have been happy with either winning as little separated the two.

The split decision went to No 1 - well deserved.

No 42:  CH HIGHLAWN TABITHA OF MATABOLA
I did not judge this class but agreed with the decision.

All three judges agreed on the dog No 1:  CH DAJAN SKIES THE LIMIT AT SANDAWANA (IMP UK) over the bitch No 42:  CH HIGHLAWN TABITHA OF MATABOLA.  I felt that the dog had a superior presence to the bitch with both moving on a par.  An outstanding virtue of one was met by one from the other and finally on overall conformation I believe the dog was better than the bitch.
