1^st

Harding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
Have not changed my mind since I last judged him, at 9 years he can still show the younger ones the way home, balanced throughout, appealing head & expression, well angulated, good topline, good front & feet, carried his tail well on the move, moved extremely well, in good coat, sire of BB & RBB. BD & BOB.

Puppy Dog (2 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Knowles AVONWHARFE REVELATION AT MENSTONIA Masculine puppy, must not grow any more, well marked, good head neck & topline, moved OK, coat is not going to last much longer. Just preferred his type to award him BP.

1^st

Hawkins TREVARGH TICKLED TO DEATH
Very balanced on the move. Head was a little fine, markings were just permissible, not the best front in the world but this was the way he was being stood, coat was not in the best condition & could do with carrying more weight, the coat, front & weight the owner can do something about, by possibly altering his feeding regime, attending ring craft classes & getting advice re grooming him.

Puppy Bitch (2 entries)

1^st	Westwood & Johnson ALLIANCE DE LA VIE SO FANTASTIC WITH TOLLYHIMMEL (IMP NLD) Feminine young lady, appealing head. Would prefer her to carry her tail up more when on the move. Well bent stifles, good topline & coat.
2^nd	Powley HONEYFIRE SCARLETT RIBBONS FOR DANEHAVEN Perhaps a little fine throughout, preferred winner's head & expression, not the turn of stifle of 1 but then stifles often improve with age. Moved well, good coat.

Junior Bitch (2 entries)

2^nd	Woollerton FOXDOWN LOOK AT ME WITH CULMGILLIE Well muscled, moved well. A little high at the rear when standing which made her look leggy. Unfortunately had to say the last rites over her coat.
