Puppy Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
Littermates with very little to separate
| 1st | Smith TOLLISTY RAUDR A very substantial young dog whose is totally age appropriate. Liked his overall proportions at this stage with plenty to grow into. Liked his head shape from the side with room for development over the skull, excellent eye colour. Excellent reach of neck into well laid shoulders and excellent return of upper arm. Well boned limbs with tidy feet. Plenty of body for age and should deepen in brisket with time. Enough rear angulation with firm hocks. Very baby-ish going/coming as one would expect but holds himself together well on the ground. BPIB, congratulations! |
| 2nd | Strevens TOLLISTY SHINCHA As feminine as her litter brother is masculine. Very good overall size and substance. Prettiest of heads with correctly set ears and good shape/shade of eye. Decent neck into shoulder but not quite the upper arm of 1. Good body for age with a firm topline, short loin and balanced rear angulation. Needs to learn her craft on the move but did show glimpses of a correct, breed-specific action. |

Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Strevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE A very middle-sized male who was very pleasing for type. Loved his masculine, wedge-shaped head with well-developed skull. Excellent forehand assembly overall with excellent bone & feet. Well sprung ribs, level topline and strong loin. Plenty of rear angulation with firm hocks. Puts his very good construction to good use on the move showing a breed-typical jaunty action while maintaining his shape. RBOB, congratulations! |
| 2nd | Favre-Whitmore & Street STELLENBOSCH DISCORS AVEC LAULACO A bigger male overall and slightly shorter coupled but really impressed for type and shape. Loved his head with ample strength through skull and muzzle. Excellent reach of neck into a well-made forehand. Good length of leg, decent body and level topline. Would prefer a shade more rear angulation overall. Difficult to assess his movement today due to a lack of focus but he showed glimpses of correct reach and drive. Liked him a lot. |
| 3rd | Smith TOLLISTY COULDN'T CARELESS JW |
Open Dog or Bitch (7 entries, 3 absent)
| 1st | Dorrell & Jenkins TOLLISTY MOET EN CHANDON JW A real stand-out for me. Scores heavily in type, size and balance of proportions & angulation. Strong head of correct shape with excellent expression. Super neck and forehand with proportionate bone for his size. Excellent spring of rib with a level topline and corresponding rear angulation standing on firm hocks. Demonstrates such excellent precision going/coming and displayed a most typical side gait. In grand coat/condition. Must go on to greater things. BOB, congratulations! |
| 2nd | Newson TIVALAKE LET'S MISBEHAVE JW One I have done well previously as a younger dog and he did not fail to impress today. Excellent overall type and shape, being slightly shorter in body than 1. Excellent head shape with plenty of skull and correct amount of stop. Well angled forehand with straight limbs and tidy feet. Excellent maturity through his body, holding a level topline at all times. Prefer more bend of stifle to be critical. Goes with real gusto on the move maintaining his shape at all times. |
