2nd Puppy Dog
Sancholees Ceasars Palace, just 6 months old & what a cracker. A real baby but such a lot of potential. Classic head shape, colour and dark eye, well boned, good feet and pastern, well shaped stifle, overall balance & true mover. I see Sire is my RCC.

2nd Puppy Bitch
Sancholees Mirage, just 6 months and I see she is litter sisterto the PD & the same comments apply being so very promising. Lovely head, well boned, good stifle & particularly sound in rear movement.
WELKS 2009 - Judge Mr Albert Wight
1st Limit Dog, RCC
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, I don't ever recall seeing this very handsome dog before but he was presented in immaculate order, is all male in head without ever veering towards coarseness, stunning eyes and expression and well placed ears. He is shapely, well ribbed, enough bend of stifle, very well boned forelegs with excellent strength in pastern which is sadly missing in too many. His action is even striding, balanced and smooth. All in all a lovely example of the breed and deserving of a title.
Crufts 2009 - Judge Mrs Celia Peters
3rd Limit Dog
Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, My heartbreak of the day, winner when he stood and first moved but started to drop a shoulder on 2nd time around and didn't recover. Lovely type with great topline and correct angles. Hope he recovers his movement soon.
City Of Birmingham 2008 - Judge Mrs Judy Oriani
2nd Limit Dog
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.

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.

Sylbert Emperor Ridge at Sancholees, the best ring trained and the most advanced in body and coat.

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.
