Crufts write-ups

The Crufts write-ups have been published at the Dogworld paper. This is what judge Christine McDonald thought of Jordi, Kalle and Kylie:
--
PGD (12) 1 Spence’s Jordi van de Stommeerpolder from Cicada, mature dog in full coat & excellent condition. Tends to stand a bit bum high at times. Wide fully developed thighs & second thighs giving strength to hindquarters which he used well on the move, strong bone with well padded feet, beautifully presented with coat in excellent condition;
--
Working D (5) 1 Ijpelaar’s Kalle van de Stommeerpolder, well constructed alert energetic dog, sound construction & movement, well proportioned head, intelligent & biddable expression, excellent front, straight forelegs, well padded tight feet, good topline & underline. Quite taken with him here & kept in final few for challenge but looked a little raw against the more mature dogs;
--
Working B (3,1) 1 Spaargaren-Braam’s Dutch YCH Nova v d Stommeerpolder, good head, outline & depth of brisket, well sprung ribs carried back to strong loin, moved well with long gait & good drive, in excellent condition, well handled to get the best from her;
