Puppy Dog or Bitch (5 entries)
| 1st | Stevenson FITZNISTER AGAINST ALL ODDS What a fascinating class this was, comprising five seven month old litter mates. Some interesting variation in presentation and ringcraft. My winner was extremely steady for her age and obviously enjoyed the experience. Well balanced in both front and rear assemblies, with ideal height to length ratio. Skull developing well, with kind, biddable eye and attitude. Coming on well in bone and musculature, she moved out with even stride and provided the correct overall animation. Seems to me to be an excellent prospect if she continues to develop along the same lines. Her handler seemed the most surprised when she took the Res BB spot and BP. |
| 2nd | Morgan FITZNISTER AMBER ECLIPSE Needless to say, a bitch of similar proportions and also developing well throughout, particularly in bone and muscle. So well behaved and wanting to please. Not quite the smoothness of action as winner but an equally good prospect when she learns to settle a touch. |
| 3rd | Young FITZNISTER ALBA NAECAIRN |

| 1st | Loebel BRUICHLADDICH GARONERA (IMP CZE) Two year old dog, maturing well. In excellent coat and condition, he was well prepared and presented. Correct shape to skull with clean correct dentition. Alert and attentive attitude. Clean reach of neck leading well into forehand. Ideal spring to ribcage and level topline maintained throughout. Moved out with straight drive from well placed hocks. Reserve BD. |
| 2nd | Pringle HWYADEN CALYPSO Sweet bitch in very fair condition. Well off for bone and hard musculature. Good balance between front and rear. Movement not quite the smoothness of winner but a very satisfactory performance. |

Open Dog (2 entries)
| 1st | Wright ERIKACHEN DAITHI OF WRIGHTPAW JW SHCM A quality three year old in tip top condition and presentation. Correct shape to skull with good dentition and clean reach of neck. Well ribbed and level topline. Correct height to length ratio. Developed bone and hard muscle. Enthusiastic yet controlled straight movement with positive drive. BD. |
| 2nd | McCann & Ramsden RIVERWATCHER TANAIYAAK A quality three year old in excellent condition, and well prepared and presented. Good balance throughout and well developed in bone and muscle. Unfortunately he was quite distracted by the ringside audience which had a detrimental effect on his overall performance and movement. With more training and experience he will do well I am sure. |
Open Bitch (3 entries)
| 1st | Anstead SH CH/INT SH CH RIVERWATCHER PIKPAKTUK JW I have been very impressed by this girl before and nothing today affected that opinion. In super coat and condition, she oozes quality and doesn't disappoint in any department. Ideal shape of skull, correct clean dentition and with biddable expression and eye. Alert attitude throughout, she is always out to please her handler. Well ribbed, and with a strong topline and coupling, she just powers around the ring without the slightest effort. BB & BOB. I was pleased to see her shortlisted for the Group. |
