1st Delsaux Divine Comedy - Taylor & Hilton
A generally well-constructed bitch with correctly proportioned head, reasonably tight eyes and a scissor bite. Good breadth and depth of chest with well sprung ribs. Good angulation front and rear and nice turn of stifle. Moved well, however the top line could be better when stood, but remained level on the move.
2nd Delsaux Ray of Light - Taylor
Slightly shorter muzzle than #1, tight eyes and clean ears. A strong neck and good front, good bone and well muscled. Very good turn of stifle, slightly off on the move that gave #1 the edge today.

1st Mischievous Maeve with Maursett - Taylor
Very pleased to be able to get my hands on this delightful bitch again and see how she is maturing at 18 months. Her head is well proportioned with good dentition, clear eyes and clean ears. A typically proportioned Clumber head on a strong neck. Broad chest with good depth. Correct angulation front and rear showing that her construction is sound with good bone and muscle which is reflected in the way she moves around the ring. She has a level topline that is held on the move. As always a pleasure to award her BoB.
