Open Dog (13 entries)
A very pleasing class.
| 1st | Harding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM Fulfilled the promise he showed when I judged him 2 years ago. Excellent breed type with all the essential breed points. Correct size with the required coat and in good hard condition which gave him the drive to move in true Toller style. Brisk and powerful. Delightful to award him and his very competent handler. BD and BOB and their subsequent performance in the big ring was a joy to watch the green carpet compliments Tollers! |
| 2nd | Van De Langenberg & Van Breugel CH BEINNBHREAGH'S GREAT PLEASURE Another dog of excellent type with good breed points. I preferred the coat of winner. He moved with drive which gave him the RBD. |
| 3rd | Van Der Hamsvoord DUT/LUX/VD ZZ REDHEAD OF GREAT PLEASURE Again a dog with good type. Correct size and moving ok. |
| Res | Claes-Kuyken LUX CH AXALUCA OF GREAT PLEASURE |
