| 1st | Powley CFYRE'S PRANCING ACROSS THE SKY TO DANEHAVEN (IMP CAN) A charming 15 month old who really appealed, the most melting expression complimented by a super temperament, put on a fab show, is at that awkward age would benefit from a little more body but that will come, scores with neck into well laid shoulders and medium sized but retained power, correct super coat and colour. |
Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM DANCER JW Eye catching exhibit who immediately struck me as the winner, showed so well with a correct gleaming coat in super condition, in a class where many were carrying too much condition, the first two stood out, Nice medium size, good height, and typically sound on the move, so at one with her handler, had that constantly moving tail that one looks for in this breed. |
| 2nd | Collins & Powley DANEHAVEN MADELEINE A lovely quality exhibit who was unlucky to meet one in such good order, nice tight feet, balanced and active on the move, lovely head and expression, she put on a good show and could change places with 1 at any time. |
| 3rd | Fincham DANEHAVEN MACDONALDS |
| Res | Andrews TOLLELKIN DREAM SPRING AT JEMMATEE |

| 1st | Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX Super male, nothing overdone, oozed type with a classic outline, nice tight feet and super body in excellent condition, lovely outline, super on the move, in profuse coat, great body and so sound on the move, he appealed immediately, BOB. |
| 2nd | Collins & Powley DEVERON DUCHESS OF DANEHAVEN Unlucky to meet 1 but they made a nice pair, good size, lovely typical head and balanced with short upper arm, tight feet, active and sound on the move, a little fidgety today, but I was more than willing to forgive this, a pleasure to judge. |

| 2nd | Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX Such a striking male so well balanced & stands out for sheer quality, handsome slightly wedge shaped head, good neck into shoulders, superbly turned out in body & coat condition. Tough decision, the bitch just traversed the equestrian ground with a little more ease. |
RBIS
Judge: Kirsty Ryan (Feorlig)
| Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX Reserve Best in Show – hot the heels to the Golden Retriever was the ultra-smart Nova Scotia, Ch Tollelkin Caife Americano SGWC. One who is really nice to go over. When stood portrays the image of an active, intelligent and workmanlike dog who is at one with his handler. Loved his overall balance and construction. He has the desired clean-cut skull, nicely tapering muzzle, almond eye shape with alert and keen expression. He has lovely depth all through and complimentary angles both ends. He has a pleasing bend of stifle and width of thigh. Shown in good coat and muscle tone. A pleasure to watch on the move, true and driving, with correct head and tail carriage, I was delighted to award him RBIS. |
