| 1st | Hughes ABACOT INTO THE UNKNOWN JW I really liked this smart young dog presented beautifully in full coat with lovely featherings. He is full of substance and so well balanced with correct conformation. He has a kind expression and good slightly wedge shaped head onto well laid back shoulders and level topline with good front and rear angulations. His chest is deep with ribs well sprung. His hindquarters are strong and well muscled enabling him to move with great reach and drive. RBOB |
| 2nd | Trickett CFYRE'S SPELLBREAKER AT TOLLPEPPER (IMP CAN) This bitch stood out for her sound construction. She has such an attentive expression and correct head proportions and complete scissor bite. Her forelegs are straight and well boned with neat feet. She has a lovely reach of neck onto well laid back shoulders and good length of upper arm. Her elbows are held tight to her deep chest and her topline is level onto well muscled hindquarters and well bent stifles. She moved with a lovely free flowing drive holding her frame. |

Open Dog (2 entries)
| 1st | Ward MELANITTA PALMATA JW A mature well constructed dog presented in rich dark red coat with white markings on his chest and neat feet. He has a masculine appealing head and expression with correct ear set. His neck is strong with deep powerful well angulated shoulders onto a level topline. He has well muscled hindquarters and let down hocks. Moved with drive holding his frame. |
| 2nd | Hunter SERENTAN CASTOR My notes say 'What a sweetheart' He is very much a baby at 9 months with everything to like about his well balanced construction and lovely coat in super condition. His head is correctly wedge shaped with kind alert eyes. His neck flowed neatly onto his well laid back shoulders and level topline. His chest is deep with well sprung ribs and his fore and aft angulations are of good proportions. He has well bent stifles and let down hocks enabling him to stride out well holding his lovely frame.

Her ribs are well sprung and she has a super level topline onto well muscled rear quarters with good length of second thigh, well bent stifles and straight hocks. She strode out beautifully holding her frame with good reach of forelegs and strong rear drive. BOB |
| 2nd | Hipkiss AFONBACH FIRST SIGN O' SPRING AT DELTANDAMBA JW Another quality young bitch who was so well presented in lovely coat and condition.
