Scottish Boxer Club - Kieth Nathan
1st. Impressed in neck & topline, correct tuck-up, balanced, masculine head without coarseness, lovely eye, correct front, just enough forechest, deep rib, correct rear, sound & free, firm body.

Crufts - Eddie Banks
1st. Well grown, handsome br/w, lovely outline stacked, good shoulders, level topline, good tailset, loved his bone & feet, masculine head, good muzzle, went round the ring beautifully to win the class

Essex & Eastern BC - Karina Le Mare
1st. Br/w, very stylish dog, just loved his head type & beautiful expression, excellent front, good depth of chest with plenty of heart room, good legs & feet, took my eye as he entered the ring & did not put a foot wrong, powerful mover. RCC

Northern BC - Denise Pye
1st. This dog is impossible to ignore. Tall dark and handsome, with a sharp outline and a beautifully balanced body. Masculine head. Excellent front and shoulders, strong muscular neck, flowing into a strong level topline.
Correct quarters, width of thigh, good stifle and hocks. Correct tail set. Covered the ground with no exaggerated movement, especially in profile. Pleased to award him the RCC.

Merseyside BC - Ian Basnett
1st. CC. A lovely class full of quality dogs which led to some which I have done well in the past going cardless.1st Mahogany brindle and white. Sometimes when you first scan around a class something really exciting catches your eye and that's what this boy did today.
All male with real ring presence and totally in tune with his clever handler he didn't put a foot wrong. So well constructed he can't help but stand foursquare with his coat gleaming and presenting the most stunning outline.
A strong clean crested neck, well angulated front, neatly coupled into text book quarters which he uses to great effect to power effortlessly around the ring he really does fill the eye.
Masculine head, clean and well balanced with a good broad muzzle and a lively expressive eye. I know he had his faults but there is so much to like about this top class boy that I couldn't deny him this lovely class
And then to award him a richly deserved CC, his second I understand but I feel that his crowning can't be far off.

WELKS - Ann Podmore
1st. A Boxer that should be in the upper house despite his one small cosmetic fault. I loved this dark brindle lad portraying a beautiful square balanced outline, gorgeous balance head, well shaped eyes and typical expression
Lovely bone, flat level back and well arched crested neck. In immaculate condition with rippling muscles. Unlucky to meet the Boxer Star and had to be content with the RCC.

Three Co's - Jo Smith
2nd. Impressive brindle of style, loved his overall size & type, could not match the winner on expression, have one loose unpigmented ete, super fronted dog with good neck & topline, strong body and sound rear.

Blackpool - Sandra Parle
1st. CC & BOB

SKC - Barry Alton
1st. CC b/w super to go over, lovely balanced head, strong bottom jaw, correct length of neck, excellent topline, good round bone, plenty of forechest, strong powerful body in hard condition, powered round the ring at one with his handler.

Irish BC - Mark Johnston
2nd RCC Excellent dog who took my eye as he entered the ring, so correct in size, substance, elegance & style, shouts Boxer when you see his outline & is just what I look for in a mature male. Very well constructed with excellent balance between front & rear assemblies, moved truly with reach & drive in profile, his strength is reflected in his bone, strong crested neck, firm & short topline
Looked balanced all the time, head is typical & shows correct balance of proportion between muzzle & skull, good mouth. However could just have a little more turn-up to complete the picture.
Although when I judge, un-pigmented third eyelids are fairly insignificant on my list of priorities, his did just have an impact on expression, for these reasons had to settle for 2nd but has no hesitation in calling him back in RCC.

Belfast - Julie Cook
2nd D/B/W and another worth Ch. Nice head with good mouth. Clean balanced outline, arched neck & strong level topline. True front & sound back end. Moves really well, just preferred the head of 1.

Driffield - Judy Alton
2nd Super dog to go over. Lovely balanced head. In hard condition. At one with his handler

South Wales BC - John Cormack
2nd.

2010
Scottish Boxer Club - David Webb
1st. Very nice stylish dog with great ring presence, so well put together with correct front, rear angles & topline, a very good head with defined chin, balanced with wide muzzle & good mouth,
strong round bone & in excellent hard condition, moved well & was in the final cut

Mancunian Boxer Club - Jeff Luscott
1st.Great dog with the power and style required, he has excellent balance with the shape, chest, ribs and rear quarter muscle, has the strength, angles and movement to drive his frame round the ring, was going really well in this class but not quite giving his all in the challenge but strongly considered.

Windsor - Tim Hutchings
2nd. I have always admired this dog from the ring side and feel that those who can't see past his one unpigmented eye are in danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. This is an extremely well made dog who presents a lovely outline from across the ring. Correct angles front & rear, firm topline and good neck.
Normally shows extremely well for his keen owner but the heat had taken its toll today and he didn't really want to play. Would certainly have put in a strong challenge for the RCC if he had given it his all.

National Working & Pastoral Breeds - Lesley Wearing
1st - So much to offer the breed, stunning outline with style, elegance & quality, have admired from the ringside & did not disappoint, correct head, strong arched neck, compact body shape,
good topline, quarters & movement, handled to get best. CC & BOB.

South Wales Boxer Club - Amanda Jinks
2nd. Br/wh with balanced outline, close coat, beautiful flowing line from occiput to tailset, with great reach of neck, short-coupled body, hammy quarters, well-muscled, dark eye, good rise of skull, fear-less boxer expression
correct depth of chest going right to elbows and matched by width of ribcage, super small strong feet.
