| 1st | Trickett CFYRE'S HIGH TEA AT TOLLPEPPER (IMP CAN) Excellent type and so obviously feminine. Delightful head, being clean-cut with slight tapering to muzzle with still room to develop a bit more in skull. Her shape and shade of eye contributed to her friendly expression with an excellent ear set. Strong neck into a well made forehand with strong bone and round feet, would prefer a touch more foreleg but this can still come. Decent topline with plenty of depth for her age. Corresponding rear angles, displayed a really eye-catching jaunty action on the go-round with true front/rear action. Thought her to be delightful. BPIB, congratulations! |
Junior Dog or Bitch (3 entries)
| 1st | Lam & Leung TOLLISTY OUT TO GET YOU This male appealed for his overall type and proportions on first glance. Plenty of width over his skull and a very pleasing expression due to his shape/shade of eye but would prefer slightly less stop to be critical. Strong neck which flows into an excellent forehand assembly with straight bone and tight fitting elbows. Well sprung rib, deep brisket and good length of foreleg. Decent rear angulation with firm hocks. Tidy mover going/coming with an excellent side gait and typical head carriage. |

Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Rice TOLLERICE EBERLE A very appealing male for balance of angulation and breed type. Loved his clean cut head with plenty of width between the ears and correct shape of eye. Wouldn’t want his ears any larger but are correctly set. Good overall forehand with width between his straight limbs. Decent spring of rib but would prefer more body which would’ve potentially carried him further. Level topline held standing and on the move with complimentary rear angles. True going/coming with a springy side gait that covers the ground with a correctly carried tail. Liked him a lot. |
| 2nd | Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR JW From a slightly smaller mould than 1 but not lacking in bone. Clean head with good tapering to muzzle, preferred the eye shape of 1. Excellent neck and shoulders. Well bodied up with strong topline. Plenty of rear angulation and short hocks. Goes with real gusto on the go-round. |

This class was a real joy to judge
| 1st | Elkin TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC This male stood out in today’s entry for his excellent type, proportions and ring presence. No mistaking his sex, such excellent strength and shape through muzzle and skull without coarseness. Excellent eye shape and colour emphasised his friendly and intelligent expression. Strong neck into well laid shoulders and return of upper arm. Appealing length to height proportions combined with a good length of foreleg. Strong topline with symmetrical rear angulation and short hocks. In full coat and hard condition, he is hard to ignore on the move. Tidy mover going/coming with a jaunty, ground-covering side gait. Very pleased to award him BOB, congratulations! |
| 2nd | Westwood EUSANIT EVER FALLEN IN LOVE Really liked this bitch for her balance and ground covering movement. Pretty head with moderate stop, flat cheeks, almond shaped eyes and correctly sized ears. Excellent forehand with well developed forechest, good length of foreleg and deep brisket. Level topline, correct croup and tail set with complimentary rear angles and firm hocks. True going/coming with a springy action viewed from the side and typical head carriage. Not quite the overall finish of 1 but was very close. Very happy to call her back in to be awarded RBOB, congratulations! |
