Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, Attractive with good body and rib, and correct tail and feet. A little straight in stifle. A nice head type but would prefer a stronger muzzle.
Welsh Kennel Club 2008 - Judge Mr Peter Oriani
2nd Limit Dog, RCC
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, Another one of my favourites, not quite the substance of 1, but very well balanced and proportioned. Excellent firm level topline, well muscled and boned quarters, correct angulation, good tailset, his movement was on par with 1, RCC.
2nd Post Graduate Bitch
Sancholees Aphrodites Rock, Nicely constructed sand coloured bitch in good coat. Strong head with rather round and light eye which distracted a little from the kind expression expected in the breed. Very nicely constructed, strong bone, good muscletone and angulation, very good mover.
NWPB 2008 - Judge Mr Richard Kinsey
1st Yearling Dog
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, Not the biggest dog but he is well made. Dark overlay to coat, nice head but a bit too full in mask going back to occiput, dark oval eyes and well set ears, clean full dentition, strong neck to well laid front assembly, good spring of rib, firm topline, powerful well angled hindquarters allowing good side gait and extension close behind and at times does something odd with his left rear. All that apart he is a good example that needs a bit more time. Put down in top class coat and condition.

Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, pleased to have the chance to go over this young dog who I have admired from the ringside, good size, strong and muscular, dark mask and eyes with such a melting expression, correctly set ears, strong neck of the right length. Well positioned shoulders and well developed chest for such a large breed and such a young dog, good bone, straight forelegs, adequate rear angulation, not overdone and good breadth of thigh, strong second thigh and hocks well placed, strong tailset in a low position, carried correctly on the move, with luck he will surely reach top honours.

Excellent presentation.

Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, fabulous beautiful dog at 17 months. All male of good size, presented in tip top condition. A most beautiful head with dark mask and eye. Strong neck, level topline, well set and carried tail. Super bone, excellent tight feet, in full coat, very well handled. Moved OK but would just like a little more umph. Surely a future champion. Another I will watch with interest. Good Luck. No hesitation in awarding him the Reserve CC.

NWPB Open - Judge Caroline King-Cherne
1st Junior Dog, BD, BOB
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, eyecatching 15 month old, so masculine with a lovely balanced outline. Although not fully mature this lad had everything I was looking for. Excellent type with a strong head, dark mask and that melting expression, which typifies the breed. I would have liked him to use his ears more. He excelled in bone, with a good depth of chest, level topline and a strong decently angled rear which powered him around the ring. Shown with a full immaculately presented coat.
Manchester 2008 - Judge Mrs Sue Thomas
1st Junior Dog

City of Birmingham 2007 - Judge Mr Albert Wight
1st Puppy Dog, BP
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, the best ring trained and the most advanced in body and coat. Good wither height, well laid shoulders, ample width in chest, the ribs have depth and his backline is level. Blessed with a reasonable reach of neck, his croup is well moulded and the tailplenty long enough. Head coming along well, clean, well balanced, medium in size and a rich brown colour. I thought him a comfortable BP
