Veteran Dog (2 entries)

1^st	Harding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Both at 10 years and in such good order a credit to both owners. The winner has so much attitude still. He has done so much for the breed and can still cut it, well done. Beautifully sound reflected in positive movement.
2^nd	Mortimore FOXDOWN LAID BACK SAM Larger frame on this chap. Sound, honest dog in construction. Just not the animation of winner.

Puppy Dog (4 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Clark FLANOVA GLENDRONACH Stood out here, not only performing to advantage but pleased me for size, with balanced bone. Most attractive head, with correct width of skull, good eye set and alert expression. Well bodied for age. Moved with jaunty true action. Good coat.
2^nd	Collier EUSANIT THUNDER FLASH Just had more masculinity over 3, but not coarse. He is a little naughty at present so could be difficult to assess, but I really don't mind puppies misbehaving, time later for the polished performance.
3^rd	Parker & Dixon EUSANIT FIRE CRACKER

Junior Dog (1 entry)

1^st	Collier EUSANIT THUNDER FLASH

Graduate Dog (2 entries)

1^st	Burt & Ashton TREVARGH AIN'T MISBEHAVIN Both these chaps, out of coat. Very pleasing head with strong clean skull balanced foreface with correct jaw and flews not too deep. Presented an overall balanced picture. Attractive side gait.
2^nd	Symons DANEHAVEN MUSHAMUSH Should come on well but a little raw at present. Has a decent, typical head, good bone, strength in loin. Just needs time.

Post Graduate Dog (4 entries)

1^st	Burt & Ashton DANEHAVEN KIPAWA Very typical, a real duck toller. Is balanced allowing each part to flow correctly into the next. Loved his head and expression. Lively sound action depicting the breed.
2^nd	Rogers EUSANIT TAKE IT EASY Satisfying dog to go over. Honest sort of a dog who is carrying too much weight. This affects his movement too.
3^rd	Mortimore BALBO ANGELS OF BARANYA (IMP HRV)
Res	Strevens AQUACADIAN FLIN THE RED AT TOLLISTY

Open Dog (9 entries, 3 absent)

1^st	Harding & Whitehill TREVARGH THE ENTERTAINER AT BRIZEWOOD Headed a satisfying class to judge. This fellow oozes quality throughout. He is alert active very positive and accurate on the move. He is all dog, yet clean, balanced and so soundly constructed. Topped by excellent muscle tone and full bloom to his coat. All this contributed to his easy win of BD and BOB.
2^nd	Smith CAMUSMOR GLEN SCOTIA AT DALLYVISTA This is a true toller who satisfies one's interpretation of the breed standard. He works with his sensible handler to present a quality, sound picture. Today just lacked the bloom of the 1st but well deserving Res BD. A real strong contender.
3^rd	Edridge CAMUSMOR BRUICHLADDICH AT TILITA SHCM
Res	Hunt NAROD AROONA AT WAKADUZE
VHC	Westwood & Johnson CAN/IR SH CH LITTLERIVER'S COLONIAL BOY WITH TOLLYHIMMEL (IMP CAN)

Veteran Bitch (2 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Macleod & Hussey NEWFANOVA JEMIMA BEAR AT CAMUSMOR 9 years young, acting like a puppy! Very honest, lively active lady who made me smile. In lovely condition, well done to owner.

Puppy Bitch (9 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Hunt WHISPERING REED'S HUTAMYA AT WAKADUZE (IMP BEL) Differing ages and maturity contributed to my choices here. 1st Scored over two in shoulder placement. She could drop her topline a little when standing, but her outline assured on the move, she is a baby and with maturity all should come together.
2^nd	Moult DECOYMANS PIPER MAPLE OF CROFTWELL Perhaps, just not as appealing in head and eye as 1st and for ideal would prefer a larger nose, but has an abundance of attributes and therefore moved with positive action.
3^rd	Black DINASKARREK'S RED VIXEN AT SEAHAVEN
Res	Westwood EUSANIT SKYS ROCKET
VHC	Moult CORLITGOLD TAHLIA OF CROFTWELL

Junior Bitch (no entries)

Graduate Bitch (6 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Denton SWEET EASTER SURPRISE Rather left her coat at home, but for type and sound construction she scored the points to take the class.
2^nd	Mortimore FOXDOWN MY FAIR LADY Liked this bitch. Has great temperament and freedom on the move. She was just losing her topline today, which is where she lost out. Another day perhaps another story.
3^rd	Symons DANEHAVEN BELLA COOLA
Res	Woollerton FOXDOWN LOOK AT ME WITH CULMGILLIE

Post Graduate Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Mortimore FOXDOWN TOUCH MY FIRE A class where each had positives and negatives. 1st had the best lay of shoulder and return of upper arm giving the most positive action, combined with firmer topline and tail set.
2^nd	Strevens DECOYMANS PIPER MAGGIE AT TOLLISTY 2nd was alert, presented in good order and well handled. 3rd did not display her positives sufficiently.
3^rd	Woollerton FOXDOWN LOOK AT ME WITH CULMGILLIE

Open Bitch (9 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Westwood & Johnson ALLIANCE DE LA VIE SO FANTASTIC WITH TOLLYHIMMEL (IMP NLD) Pleasing class. 1st just took the class by a whisker over 2nd. One that showed great appeal. Lots of quality here in this class. This bitch just had the edge in quarters and second thigh over two. She well deserved BB third was out of coat which affected her in this good company.
2^nd	Moult CORLITGOLD MALILA OF CROFTWELL RBB. A lovely sort.
3^rd	Clark HILLSCOURT ARTY MISS AT FLANOVA
Res	Hawkins CAMUSMOR CAOL ILA OF TREVARGH
VHC	Macleod & Hussey CAMUSMOR MADJESTIC VISION
