Balanced angulation fore and aft, well muscled throughout with good rib and strong loin, she was presented in an excellent glossy coat.  She was a little erratic on the move to begin with, but once she settled into her stride she was a very stylish and sound mover with plenty of reach and drive displaying her very outgoing temperament lashing her tail as she went.  BOB

  •  TAYLOR’S TIROEN TRUE GENT I see these 2 are littler brother and sister, they are at different stages of development and I chose the winner which is the 18 month old male, he is up to size but is balanced for height to length ratio. He is strongly built with a strong mature head and a little light in the eye. Strong muscled neck into good lay of shoulder, level topline, good body proportions with depth and substance, well set tail. Presented in super coat and condition. Well muscled hindquarters with developed 2nd thigh. On the move he was true both coming and going but just tended to pace at times which cost him in the challenge.
  • COX’S TIREON TIGER LILY, she is such a feminine bitch with a balanced outline and good breed type. She still has quite a bit of developing to do but she has plenty of time. Loved her head and expression, super balanced forequarters, level topline, short loin.
