Puppy Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Peat TOLLISTY GINGER CHAI Feminine 11 month old bitch puppy in good coat, shoulders well laid back. Forelegs straight and strong. Good depth of chest. Moved with drive, well bent stifles. I was pleased to award her Best Puppy. |
| 2nd | Richardson ARTHUNDUR OVER THE RAINBOW A well made dog puppy but lacked the balance and drive of my choice for first place. |
Junior Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Peat TOLLISTY GINGER CHAI |
| 2nd | Richardson ARTHUNDUR OVER THE RAINBOW |
Graduate Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Adshead AFONBACH SYRAX JW Beautiful feminine bitch, full of breed type in excellent coat. Well sprung ribs with her brisket reaching to elbow. Back short, level topline held on the move. Plenty of drive from well developed hindquarters. |
| 2nd | Burgess REDMANHEY'S COMTE DE LA FERE A masculine looking dog with a correctly shaped head and skull without a prominent occiput. Dark brown almond shaped eyes giving a friendly alert expression. I liked the overall balance of my choice for first place which won her this class. |
Open Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 2 absent)
This class was full of quality with excellent examples of breed type from two mature specimens of their beautiful breed. Both were well angulated fore and aft which enabled them to cover the ring with ease.
| 1st | Adshead AFONBACH WINTER IS COMING JW An orange dog in excellent coat and condition. His overall balance and movement won him this class. I was pleased to award him Best of Breed. |
| 2nd | Burgess MELANITTA SINAMAY JW An excellent example of a bitch of this beautiful breed. Her many attributes of breed type made it very difficult to choose between these exhibits. I thought that the overall balance of my first place won this class. This feminine bitch was worthy of my choice of Reserve Best of Breed. |
