I am very lucky that we have some Tollers on our Shoot so the joy of watching them work is paramount in my mind when judging. As with all Gundogs they should be fit for a purpose as well as rather stunning in a show ring, delighted to say I was not disappointed in my entries as all my winners I am sure would be happy working a full day on a shoot. A really lovely entry and I thank you all so much.

What a fabulous class and I see that my line up are all from one litter, well done to the breeder for such consistency and I am sure they will swop places on many occasions.
1st | Strevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE Aptly named, I couldn’t decline him 1st, BP & BOB. 8 months old but so mature, gorgeous shape to him when stacked, giving you that lovely outline showing true power but compact with a lovely confident happy disposition. Good shaped head with correct occiput and good stop. Eyes kind and correct almond shape, ears of good size and set correctly high, all giving the alert expression as required. Front angulation lovely with strong neck set on well with good lay of shoulder, tight elbows and correct straight front. Back correct length and adequate loin and tuck up flowing into a strong rear with excellent muscle and correct shape throughout allowing for a strong action when on the move. He didn’t let me down in the Group awarding him Adult Group 3 & Puppy Group 2 – I am sure has a great future. |
2nd | Dorrell & Jenkins TOLLISTY MOET EN CHANDON Litter brother to winner, similar comments apply. A real credit to the breeder this litter and splitting hairs on the placings. Would prefer slightly tighter feet and just needs to settle a bit more on the move. Lovely puppy though |

Junior Dog or Bitch (1 entry)
1st | Smith TOLLISTY COULDN'T CARELESS Again same litter, she was unsettled today on the move & would prefer slightly longer neck, however at this age it is all so hard with coat and different maturing ages so would be pleased to see her again and watch how she grows. |
Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (1 entry)
1st | Last GINGAFING MUST HAVE BEEN LUV A 2 yr old smaller more compact girl, slightly out of coat today. However a lovely correct pretty head with good clean eyes of correct shape and colour. Good straight hocks allowing for good drive on movement. |
Open Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
1st | Strevens SH CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE GAELACH AT TOLLISTY A 2 yr old with a lovely deep chest, good spring of rib and correct length to height ration. Nice bone with clean straight front. Lovely eye and shape of skull giving that unique look of a Toller. Beautifully presented and moved well with drive. Just lost out to the younger dog today for BOB who just stole the show today! RBOB |
2nd | Smith TIVALAKE ANYTHING GOES AT TOLLISTY JW I see from looking at the catalogue this is the dam of the gorgeous litter. My notes say very lovely bitch just not settled on the move today loosing her the class, but a very close call. |
