I felt extremely honoured to be asked to judge this Club's Open Show, a super entry and a very welcoming Committee made it a thoroughly enjoyable day. Sadly many of the dogs were losing coat or just coming into coat, it must be the time of year.

Veteran Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Harding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM I can perfectly understand why this dog has won what he has and age has not diminished these qualities. Once hands on he is so sound, all in balance, with an excellent lay of shoulder, correct upper arm depth to his rib, and correct tail carriage all this is topped with that exquisite head and correct ear set pleased to award Best Dog and RBIS.
2^nd	Mortimore FOXDOWN AMBILA Much to admire here and also has the good front with correct lay excellent rib and coupling drove off strong quarters when moving.
3^rd	Powley JABY LAVENDER AT DANEHAVEN Although smaller cast, is compact with all in moderation loved her head and ear set.

Puppy Dog (5 entries)

1^st	Baker ERIKACHEN AONGHUS Smaller but so together won the day on balance, bone, feet and front. Good spring to rib for age moderation in turn of stifle excellent mover with tail carried up nothing overdone. I will watch his future as this young boy has it, and did it for me BPD & BPIS.
2^nd	Andrews ERIKACHEN RUARI Preferred overall balance of 1 this youngster is not so together at the moment, loved his head, however he did not bring his tail up whilst moving but time is on his side.
3^rd	Powley TOLLPEPPER TANNAS Similar to 1 but finer in head, well laid shoulders, good body well ribbed back, strong quarters.
Res	Moossun ERIKACHEN ARDEN
VHC	Rice ERIKACHEN FEIDHELM

Junior Dog (4 entries)

1^st	Clark FLANOVA GLENDRONACH Maturing well, has balance in the head with good expression, ear set will protect as desired, moderate length of neck, clean shoulder, strong bone, excellent coupling moderate turn of stifle.
2^nd	Parker & Dixon EUSANIT FIRE CRACKER This youngster really strode out around the ring but was not as mature in body as 1, his quarters are strong and there is no weakness here.
3^rd	Collier EUSANIT THUNDER FLASH Pleasing with good head and lots to like, but not shown to advantage, when handler gets it together will trouble the best.

Res	Lovett NEILSHARBOUR DUDDLESWELL

Graduate Dog (5 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Reader EUSANIT VISIONS OF CHILLBRAV Loved this dog's style, balance in head with that foxy look reach of neck has correct lay of shoulder, but not so mature in the body, moderation and strength in quarters, from which he moved out well with nice high tail carriage.
2^nd	Moossun TASARLA SNOW BLIZZARD So balanced stood well over his ground and although I preferred head of 1 this young dog is none the less pleasing with almond eye and correct ear set, out of coat, as so many were.
3^rd	Lovett NEILSHARBOUR GILLS LAP Longer cast than 1 & 2 and sadly not in his best coat, from clean neck there is an excellent lay of shoulder, but needs to develop in rib, quarters strong, moved well.
