| 1st | Palfrey FLUSHPOINT WHATA ACCIDENT FOR MELANITTA (IMP SWE) Lovely 8 year old bitch, thought her to be a very smart. Liked her body proportions and balance when stacked. She is of the correct medium size with nothing overdone. Loved her keen, alert expression and very attentive to her handler. Correct wedge shaped head, clean through the cheeks, well placed and used ears. Good development to the body, with well sprung ribs and depth to the chest. Keeping a firm topline and well carried tail. Using her well toned hindquarters to drive in the jaunty fashion around the ring - RBOB |
| 2nd | Hipkiss REDAURORA COMET'S CHRISTMAS OF DELTANDAMBA Just shy of her 8th birthday this bitch is looking as fit as a fiddle, alert and active. When stood did not quite have the balance of winner. She has a feminine head, her almond shaped eye toning well with her coat colour. She has good depth and forechest, straight well boned forelimbs onto well arched feet. She has a good width of thigh. Shown with a good coat and at one with her handler on the move |

| 1st | Hipkiss ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM Fell for this most appealing 3 year old dog, loved his size, substance and masculinity. He is one that just catches the eye for his character as well as construction. Thought him to be smart, full of breed type and fit for function, nothing is overdone or out of place. He has a clean wedge shaped head, intelligent almond eyes, alert to his handler. Strong and muscular neck flowing well into his firm and level topline. Good depth to the brisket and well developed forechest, short coupled, strong hindquarters. Shown with a rich red colour double coat in good condition. On the move shows the typical movement, head carried almost level, and tail higher whilst retaining a level topline and springiness to his step. Delighted to award him BOB & Group 1, later to watch him go onto win BIS – many congratulations |
| 2nd | Woollerton CAMUSMOR CHILI PEPPER AT CULMGILLIE Alert and outgoing 3 year old dog, not quite the overall balance and outline of winner, but masculine all through. Pleasing wedge shaped head, kind eye and clean cheeks. Liked his depth with a well developed forechest, forelegs straight with a slight slope to the pastern onto tight well arched feet. Slightly long in loin. Good width of thigh and bend to the stifle. Moving out well |
