Minor Puppy Dog or Bitch (2 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Ling TOLLERHOLME MONEY SPINNER Just a baby at seven months, this sweet youngster was happy to be in the ring. His outline understandably reflected his age, being a bit bum-high at present. A good beginning for him - he just needs some time to settle and mature. |
Puppy Dog or Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | Buckingham CATCH FIRST SVEA GARONERA (IMP CZE) Nice young lady with a good length of leg and moderate in bone. Level in top line with nice angulation but still yet to deepen and develop in the fore. Has a nice steady movement but is a very laid back girl so not quite the jaunty action called for in the standard. BP. |
Junior Dog (no entries)
Post Graduate Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Woollerton CAMUSMOR CHILI PEPPER AT CULMGILLIE Presented in good condition, what drew me to this three year old boy was his attractive wedge-shaped head, with its well set-on triangular ears, moderate stop and deeply-coloured almond eyes which blended so well with his rich red coat. Well angulated fore and aft, with good spring of rib, moderate bone and tight feet. His topline wasn't quite as level as would be desired, which showed a little on the move. Nevertheless a lovely masculine dog of correct size. RBD. |
Open Dog (4 entries)
| 1st | Hipkiss ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM A happy boy with good overall proportions. I felt he presented the neatest package overall. Shown in good condition on great feet - tight, round and with well-arched toes. Good length of neck flowed cleanly into well-laid shoulders, with elbows held in tightly. I felt his topline was slightly distorted by his tendency to stand a little outstretched, but he held it on the move. BOB. |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA FIREBLADE This boy had a well put together front and rear assembly, good length of neck and lovely coat, albeit in a lighter frame. He moved as well as the dogs with the higher honours today, however I just preferred the head proportions and bone of 1 and RBD |

Junior Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | Pashley WAKADUZE WAH PEN DAH SKA Sweet little girl with a lovely expression, just out of puppy so still time to mature. Had a lovely side movement with good rear angulation but coming towards looked a little loose in front movement. Kept a nice level top line on the move but tended to dip a bit when stood as longer than taller in proportions. |
Post Graduate Bitch (7 entries, 2 absent)
| 1st | Elkin TOLLELKIN WATER DANCER A great deal to like about this girl from a lovely typical Toller head with good ear set, moderate bone, great angulation at both ends which lead to ground covering, positive movement. She was presented in a well muscled, hard working condition. The only let down today was she wasn't in her best coat which meant the dog looked the full package for BOB but pleased to award her RBOB and BOS. |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA HEALSTETHER Small and finer than 1 but still had good angulation at both ends. Movement was good but not quite the extension and flow of 1. Again not in the best of coats (common theme amongst the girls today) but had a nice typy head with appealing expression despite the ear set. Forward movement secured her this place over number 3, the junior bitch winner. |

| 2nd | Palfrey FLUSHPOINT WHATA ACCIDENT FOR MELANITTA (IMP SWE) . This lady had nice rear angulation but was slightly straighter in front than 1. Once she had settled, her movement was good but not as smooth over the ground as 1. She held a nice level top line and had a lovely expression on a typy Toller head. .
