I would like to thank the Committee for the invitation to judge at this lovely show and for looking after us all so well. The facilities for the show are second to none here. I had some lovely entries for which I thank the exhibitors although I am rather concerned at the variation in size especially between the dogs, some of which I felt were rather large, and the bitches, again some were too small.


Puppy Dog or Bitch (3 entries)

1stWest RAYNECHASER LUNA ECLIPSE
I really liked this 7 month old puppy bitch who shows great promise. Lovely typical Toller head, almond eyes of correct colour and good ear set. Strong neck. Good angulation front and rear. Moved well with purpose. (BP, RBOB). I was delighted to see that she went Puppy Group 4.
2ndStrevens TOLLELKIN CAIFE GAELACH AT TOLLISTY
A very pretty 9 month old bitch with many of the same attributes as 1 though made on a smaller scale. Head rather narrow but this will hopefully fill out as she grows, kind eye, good angulation. Moved well but sometimes on three tracks rather than two.

Yearling Bitch (no entries)


Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)

1stLa Turner LAUVSTUAS THEO TOYBEE RIVER AT MATALATU (IMP NOR)
All I can say about this boy is that he immediately took my eye entering the ring. Beautiful typical Toller head and kind expression. Excellent angulation, kept a level outline on the move and when standing, using his tail to great effect. In lovely coat and nicely marked. (BoB).

Open Dog or Bitch (5 entries, 2 absent)

1stElkin TOLLELKIN WATER DANCER
Pretty 4 year old bitch with a nice wedge shaped head, correct eye and ear assembly. Kind expression. Excellent front and good rear angulation. Kept a level outline on the move. It was a close decision for RBOB but felt the puppy winner had more presence.
2ndWest WAKADUZE WI MIMBE AT RAYNECHASER
Another pretty 4 year old bitch of good size, rather longer in body than (1) but well balanced. Good bone and angulation. Performed a reverse triangle extremely well!
