1st Place Calvdale Lizzie Stark 9-month-old L&W bitch, with a lovely outgoing nature to show herself off with confidence and style. She demonstrates remarkable maturity for her age and presents a pleasing, compact outline. She stands out for her harmonious proportions and corresponding angulation. Her pretty, well-balanced head has good length to the foreface, low-set ears, and eyes beginning to darken, all contributing to a soft expression. She has a good length of neck, excellent depth and development of forechest, ribs nicely sprung to a short loin, and a lovely rear assembly. A happy, ground-covering mover, just a touch close behind at present. Her coat and presentation are beautiful. A bright future ahead. I was delighted to award her BPIB.
2nd Place - Calvdale Infinity
Litter sister to the winner, and very much two peas in a pod, another super youngster. Today, I felt her sister had a slight edge in maturity and was a bit more settled on the move. She also displays balance, with good length of leg and depth, although she doesn't yet quite match her sister's forechest. She holds a firm topline and strong, wide hindquarters. Slightly more unsettled on the move today, so she had to settle for second place today
and Bea wasn't to be left out winning the RCC
1st Place Sh Ch Calvdale Flutter JW (Mr & Mrs M Calvert)
Exceptionally classy and full of breed type, this 5-year-old LWT bitch presented a lovely picture on the stack. She is in full bloom and displays complete maturity. She has a compact outline and flowing body lines. Her head is the epitome of femininity, with ideal proportions, a kind almond-shaped eye, and low-set ears that beautifully frame her face. Her reachy neck seamlessly flows into a well-held topline. She combines ample bone and substance with elegance. The brisket is well let down, ribs are nicely sprung, and her strong, wide quarters show a good bend of stifle without exaggeration. On the move, she shows herself to great advantage in profile, holding a lovely outline, though she was a fraction close behind today. Immaculately presented and sympathetically handled RCC

Another super critique from our judge for Ada gaining BPIB
1st Puppy bitch Calvdale Infinity
Attractive puppy bitch of lovely type and balance with a pleasing feminine outline. Sweet head and gentle expression, good reach of neck flowing into clean shoulders and a firm, level topline. Well ribbed for age with good bone and substance, standing on tidy feet. Moved soundly and freely in both directions, covering the ground with confidence and holding her shape throughout. Presented in excellent coat and condition and was a worthy winner of both the class and Best Puppy in Breed.
