Tollers continue to impress me; the quantity growing but so is the quality of the breed each time I judge them. I was spoilt for choice in some classes.


Puppy Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 2 absent)

1stAdshead AFONBACH SYRAX
Super puppy. Beautifully made and well balanced throughout. Loved her head, good angles fore and after, level topline. Excellent springy movement. One to watch, with a promising future. BP.
2ndKindell & Anstead EUSANIT PRIDE AND JOY
Another lovely puppy and could easily change places with 1 on another day. Good balance throughout. Loved her overall shape. Good lay of shoulder, well sprung rib. Moved well.

1stTrickett CFYRE'S SPELLBREAKER AT TOLLPEPPER (IMP CAN)
3 ½ year bitch. Pleasing shape throughout. Compact and well muscled. Good movement, although I’d love a little more animation.
2ndSewell CLEGANE INFERNO TO BREAKERSWELL
Lovely shape and size. Pleasing head. Strong neck into well placed shoulders. Handler could have done with moving slower to help with the slipping and give a chance to get better traction on the floor, which I appreciate was not ideal.
