I enjoyed the entry on a beautiful sunny day outside in a big well mown ring. A variety of sizes & differing proportions. Hind action could be better in a lot. Too many carrying excess weight but I found plenty of quality Tollers. Many thanks to my stewards.

| 1st | Baldwin WAKADUZE WAKPA 8 months, of correct size & proportions & good head type. Eyes need to darken. Good coat & colour. Can firm up on the move. |
| 2nd | Fletcher ASTERLILY HEKA 6 months, of good type, a real baby & shows it on the move in topline. Lovely colour. Head needs time to fill out. Has promise. |
Puppy Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Baldwin WAKADUZE WAKPA |
| 2nd | Westwood EUSANIT CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Top sized dog of lovely balance & a very good head & better eye than the winner. Rather upright in forehand & needs to fill out in chest. Beautiful colour. His front action let him down here. |

Two litter brothers at the top.
| 1st | Strevens ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW 18 months, lovely proportions & balance, full of breed type. Excellent ribcage & good bone, correct croup. Could be a little tighter in front but scored in rib & chest in a close decision. |
| 2nd | Morgan ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW Lovely balance & outline & wonderful colour. Better in rear action but not as good in front as he needs to finish in rib & chest. Lovely head & eye. Beautiful head. Should finish well, needs to tighten in feet. |

Minor Puppy Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | DISQUALIFIED 7 months, scored in proportions, ribs & head, she tended to pace on the move but once she got going was sound & free, lovely colour. |
| 2nd | West WAKADUZE WI MIMBE 8 months, very good mover, a little long for balance accentuated by being out of coat. Head needs time to finish. |
| 3rd | Hunt WAKADUZE SKOO |
Puppy Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)
Two lovely litter sisters.
| 1st | Moult & Savory EUSANIT NAUGHTY BUT NICE FOR CROFTWELL 10 months, full of type & with excellent rear, can fill out a little in front but scored on her topline & carriage today. BP. |
| 2nd | Westwood EUSANIT BEST OF THE BUNCH I preferred her proportions being a little more compact, lovely head, a little more finished in front but not the carriage of winner today. |
| 3rd | DISQUALIFIED |
| Res | West WAKADUZE WI MIMBE |
| VHC | Hunt WAKADUZE SKOO |

Post Graduate Bitch (9 entries, 2 absent)
| 1st | Carnovale KYMIN ORANGE BLOSSOM OF RHEE 2 years, easy winner of this class, despite her white extending a little too far. She was the best mover & best proportions in the class, in wonderful condition & a quality head. |
| 2nd | Cox ALLIANCE DE LA VIE RED THISTLE IN ICESTORM (IMP NLD) 2 years, taller bitch, not in her best coat, sound moving, just a little strong in the head for my taste. |
| 3rd | Morse TOLLYHIMMEL MISTY CIDER |
| Res | Shore REDAURORA GOLDEN DREAM BEG EX RL3 |
| VHC | Collins & Powley DANEHAVEN DETROYES |
Limit Bitch (11 entries, 2 absent)
| 1st | Andrews FALLOWFEN FAITHFUL YOKO OF JEMMATEE 4 years, at the lower end of the size scale but the best for proportions, topline & movement in the class. I would prefer her a size larger. Tends to fly her ears. |
| 2nd | Black SEAHAVEN PARISH BELL 3 years, I liked her a lot & had she been in firmer condition could have reversed this. She is very sound on the move but excess weight showed in her topline. |
| 3rd | Rogers TOLLYHIMMEL DRUNKUN DUCK |
| Res | Morse TOLLYHIMMEL MISTY CIDER |
| VHC | Morgan REDAURORA COMET'S CHRISTMAS OF DELTANDAMBA |
Open Bitch (7 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Brown AM GCH KYMIN IPSO FACTO (RE-IMP) 6 years, full of Toller type & went very well, of correct size & proportions, excellent movement, not her best coat but a lovely bitch. CC. |
| 2nd | Westwood SH CH/IR SH CH EUSANIT APPLE OF ONE'S EYE JW 3 years, looked my winner standing, in beautiful coat, sound on the move but not the carriage & exuberance of the winner, a great pity. RCC. |
| 3rd | Parr DANEHAVEN PELLY ON KYMIN |
| Res | Anstead RIVERWATCHER PIKPAKTUK JW |
| VHC | Shore REDAURORA GOLDEN DREAM BEG EX RL3 |
Veteran Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | Ward FOXDOWN SUMMER SUNSHINE OVER MELANITTA Almost 13 years, a great credit to her owner, dentition in excellent condition, good coat, colour & proportions, good head, sound on the move but just showing signs of her senior years there, lovely expression & temperament. |
