Pleased to see the quality of the breed is improving, especially front assemblies with much better returns of upper arm than when I judged previously. I was disappointed to see an exhibit with a bad mouth and hope that breeders will work to ensure that this does not become widespread in the breed.
Puppy Dog (1 entry)
| 1st | Ede REDAURORA FOLLOW THAT DREAM Just 7 months old. Wedge shaped head with pleasing expression. Good bone with strong neck into well laid-back shoulder with good return of upper arm. Currently a little long in back and loin and standing bum high which is not unusual at his age. Promising youngster and fully deserving of his Best Puppy. |
Junior Dog (2 entries)
| 1st | Wright CAMUSMOR CROWN ROYAL Super 17 month old youngster. Wedge shaped head with good proportions and moderate stop. Excellent angulation front and rear. So well balanced but needs to body up. |
| 2nd | WITHHELD |
Post Graduate Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Woollerton CAMUSMOR CHILI PEPPER AT CULMGILLIE I really liked this 3 year old boy. He fills the eye with his deep red coat highlighting his typey profile. Not surprised to see he is from the same kennel as my Junior winner as shares his excellent head proportions, angulation and balance. Needs to build up his stamina so he shows as well in the challenge as the class. |
| 2nd | Morgan ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM Eye catching 2 year dog, still maturing. Scored with his lovely effortless movement earning him 2nd in this very close class although I preferred the head proportions and maturity of 1. |

| 1st | Wright ERIKACHEN DAITHI OF WRIGHTPAW JW SHCM Maturing nicely this 2 year old, deep red boy is fulfilling the promise he showed when I judged him as youngster. Masculine wedge-shaped head with mischievous expression, strong neck into well laid-back shoulders, well angulated rear. Moves jauntily and with purpose holding his topline both stacked and on the move. Pleased to award him Best Dog and Best of Breed. |
| 2nd | Cox DECOYMANS PIPER DREAMTIME IN ICESTORM RL2 Lots to like with this 5 year old boy. He is not as showy as some of the youngsters but an excellent type, you can almost imagine the duck in his mouth. Wedge shaped head with correct moderate stop, well angulated front and rear, pleases in profile and moved out so soundly for Reserve Best Dog. So nice to see a dog showcasing the breed's versatility with his Rally title. |

Post Graduate Bitch (6 entries)
| 1st | Newson TIVALAKE MORE THAN WISHES Very nice 3 year old bitch. Feminine head with melting expression. Good length of neck into well laid-back shoulders and balanced angulation. Excels in topline which she maintains both on the move and stood, carries her tail just above level but I would like to see it carried higher for a complete picture. Very happy to award her Best Bitch. |
| 2nd | Shore REDAURORA GOLDEN DREAM BEG EX RL3 This 4 year old bitch left her coat at home but she didn't have much to hide, typey profile and moves out soundly although her front angulation is a little shallow. She does need more body but again so nice to see a dog excelling in other canine activities. |

| 1st | Ede REDAURORA GOLDEN FOX FIRES This 9 year old girl is still so fit and outmoved all the youngsters. Feminine wedge-shaped head, strong neck and balanced angulation. A little bum high when stood but drops into her topline on the move, could not be denied Reserve Best Bitch. |
| 2nd | Black SEAHAVEN PARISH BELL Very typey 4 year bitch, pleasing head proportions and excellent angulation but disappointed she was carrying too much weight although still moved well enough for this place. |
