I would like the thank the exhibitors for giving me such a lovely entry for a Friday.  Unfortunately with the bright sunshine I found it very difficult to find the true ‘astonished’ expression that the standard calls for. 

MPD(2, 0) 

1 Banks Choya Tadashi black/white puppy hope he won’t grow on.  He has a balanced body sound mover back and front, a pleasing head.  He is a nice puppy that shows promise. 

2 Meadows Shamead Ruddy Spitfire red/white very much a baby sound mover but needs time to settle 

PD(2, 0) two brothers black/white winner out moved second who I liked very much but was unsettled and lacked confidence.  Both have large skulls, large eyes and lovey expressions. Two very promising puppies in lovely condition.

1 Flynn Linjato Kanjirou

2 Flynn Linjato Issey Miyake

1 Blair Bellflows Wee Tosh lovely size, balance body, pleasing head with a broad skull.  He is a nice type with good tail set. 

2 Hudson & Steele Sharlarna Valentino at Threadgold has a pleasing head, nice expression.  a nice Chin and a sound mover both ends. 

3 Burns & Black Yama Take A Chance 

PGD(6, 1)

1 Thomas Dzhunko Gin De Imperium Auri at Javalcy 20 months black/white small and compact with a pleasing head and balanced body.  He was in good coat and condition.  This very dainty dog who took my eye on entering the ring. 

2 Potts Holmchin Out of The Blue to Adreeam black/white lacking the body of winner but lovely coat, elegant mover with pleasing head. 

3 Blore Dalehouse Kalua 

LD(8, 3)

1 Thomas Javalcy Rock on Tommy JW lovely size, very compact, pleasing head with lovely bone.  He was a sound mover and a very showy dog with a lovely disposition. 

2 Wallhead Sleepyhollow Lester at Merida nice dog, bigger than winner, a bit longer.  Wonderfully presented with a very good coat of correct texture.  He is a stylish dog on the move I just preferred the balance of the winner. 

3 Davidson Omikudzi Don Juan at Sharlarna 

OD (5, 1) nice class

1 Pearce & Hann Rakuchin Kenji Na - My star of the day.  Lovely dog very sound mover both back and front.  So well presented in lovely coat and condition DCC and BOB 

2 Schemel Sharlana Mirage a dog of lovely breed type, very sound back and front.  Almost carrying too much body coat.  Lovely head, large in proportion, good eye set and pleasing expression RDCC

3 Grogan, Lindsay & O'Herlihy Sleepyhollow Baroque at Anjuli ShCM 

MPB(3, 0)

1 Banks Choya Tomomi litter sister to BPD well-schooled puppy with a lovely head and nice expression.  She has good bone.  She retained a lovely outline moving and her coat was of good texture. BPIB

2 Robinson Usagi Tsukino De Imperium Auri at Midorchi Naf Taf not as mature as the winner, smaller and well-proportioned puppy that needs time. 

3 Crane Cranvarl Truly Scrumptious 

PB(3, 0)

1 Flynn Linjato Mimoko this was bad luck for the owner, very sadly due to a large bang from outside of the ring, she dropped her tail, a great pity as she is full of breed type.  She is a lovely size with a pretty head, a divine puppy and star in the making. 

2 Flynn Linjato Miyami another of great promise and little to separate the two I just preferred the more generous head of the winner. She is of ideal size and good proportions a very nice puppy. 

3 Robinson Midorchi Anastasia 

JB(6, 0)

1 Flynn Linjato Mishiko black/white of lovely size, pleasing head with a lovely skull, correct eye set and has a most appealing expression.  Her coat is of good texture.  Another very promising prospect 

2 Banks Choya Sakurako nothing to hide on this one either, who was lacking coat.  A most appealing head and the desired expression.  She is a fine and dainty who moves soundly back and front. 

3 Constable Arranbrook Hastobe at Mitapip 

PGB(5, 1) Two bitches of the correct size headed this class.  Both black/white, both well balanced yet the winner scored on the move being more settled.  At this point a mini tornado swept through the showground whipping up hundreds of prize cards hundreds of feet in the air.  This was another new experience for Blackpool.  I have to say due to the wonderful temperament of the Chins, no dogs were fazed by this. 

1 Crane Cranvarl Le Mistral JW 

2 Wolfenden Bechinka Mozo 

3 Pearson Ereste Touch of Class 

LB(10, 2)

1 Crane Sleepyhollow Doris Of Cranvarl very correct well-balanced bitch, she has a beautiful head and broad skull. Her body is nicely proportioned.  She retained a level topline being sound mover back and front.  She was carrying the correct amount of coat.  Happy to award her 3rdBCC at this show. 

2 Wallhead Choya Carolina nice well proportions bitch black/white of quality nice size.  She moved soundly and with style 

3 Pearce & Hann Yama Moonlight Over Rakuchin 

OB(6, 0)

1 Lindsay Sleepyhollow Mavis at Anjuli JW most unlucky to meet the Limit Bitch Winner.  Small and dainty with a lovely head, beautiful eye with the desired expression.  She has a well-proportioned body in excellent coat and condition.  She was full of quality. One of those occasions where I needed two CC’s.  I am sure her day can’t be far away RBCC

2 Pearce & Hann Ch Stepheter Wanna Shout for Rakuchin one of my all-time favourites, she is of ideal proportions, certainly enjoying her day out, full of breed type and quality.  She is one I have admired in the past. 

3 Davidson Ch Hin Satori Evita Karmensita at Sharlarna
