DOGS - Meg Purnell-Carpenter

Temperaments were superb, however I found the quality overall rather mixed. 

Minor Puppy Dog

1 Williams’ Jimeva Midnite Raver. 8 months, very smart all through, good head & expression, front assembly correct, very balanced. Sound on the move. Well handled, best puppy dog. Best Puppy in Show.

2  Boyds’ Jhava Big Hunk of Love. 81/2 months, very immature at present. Promising puppy, sound on the move, just needs to settle.

3  McMasters’ Beiderbecks Rodney.

Puppy Dog

1Davies’ Kopsend Time is on my Side. 9 1/2 months, shown in good order, nice head & expression, would prefer better shoulder placement. Still loose in front, this will come with maturity. Movement sound.

2 Coburns’ Ravenrock Diesel. 6 months, very immature, unp laced in previous class. Would prefer more of him all over, however he is sound and balanced.
Junior Dog

1  Leasks’ Varenka Maximillion at Granjolea. 13 months, good head & expression. Well balanced body proportions throughout. Sound in all ways & a very promising youngster.

BITCHES - Frank Kane

A very good entry. Good sized rings allowed the dogs to show their movement & this was often a deciding factor.


MP A mixed class from real babies to very forward bitches.
