Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge and to the exhibitors who entered. I was thrilled with the entry and it was a lovely day.


Junior Dog or Bitch (7 entries)

1stTitovets & Eremin MACDREAMS TRENT FROM CASHEL VALE RL1 (IMP NLD)
10 month old dog presented a lovely outline with a correct textured deep red coat. Correctly placed almond shape eyes, however slightly too light in colour at present. Level topline, leading to well set on tail. Strong straight front with tight rounded feet. Good angulation, moved well with good reach and drive. BP.
2ndYates MELANITTA MILK AND HONEY
Just 6 months old good outline when stood, straight topline and good double coat. Correct wedge shaped head with well set triangular dropped ears. Good angulation front and rear however needs to tighten up on the move.

2 year old medium sized dog presented in good coat with well feathered tail. Stood out on first look around the class, well angulated front and rear. Moved well when settled however was slightly distracted today. Kind expression. RBOB.
2ndFuard TOLLELKIN BAY OF ICE
1½ year old dog who fought hard for his placing today. Different type to 1 and on the larger side of the standard. Medium triangular ears correctly positioned, alert expression, eyes well set apart on wedge shaped head leading to good strong neck. Nice tight feet, moved okay.

1stStrevens ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW
Litter brother to my Post Graduate class winner, another who stood out as the class entered the ring. Good head with clean-cut skull and eyes blending with coat. Ears set well back with correct amount of feathering behind. Rich red coat of correct texture. Good angulation and well muscled throughout. Great ring presence, moved really well. BOB
2ndTuck TIVALAKE WHITE CHRISTMAS
Compact bitch with a lovely head and kind expression. Good bone and angulation, coat could have been slightly better presented and carrying a bit too much weight. However, strong and powerful movement.
