Veteran Dog or Bitch (3 entries)
| 1st | Anstead SH CH/INT SH CH RIVERWATCHER PIKPAKTUK JW Very close decision between two quality examples of the breed. She has a good length is neck into well laid e shoulders and fore quarters in general. Going depth and spring of rib. Liked her bend of stifle and hind quarters in general. Moved well, RBB, BVIB and went on to get 2nd in the Veteran group. |
| 2nd | Strevens SH CH ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW SHCM SHCEX VW Slightly preferred this dogs head to the winner however on the whole I preferred the winners fore quarter and outline. |

| 1st | Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR JW Good length of neck neatly sitting into well laid shoulders. Good depth of body and spring of rib. Hind quarters are well constructed with a good bend of stifle. Moved well just felt in the challenge he needed a little more maturity to challenge for higher honours. |
| 2nd | Salmon ACADIABYRNE TIBETAN CORAL Preferred his head to the winner but on the whole I felt the winner had better fore quarters and topline. |
Limit Dog (1 entry)
| 1st | Strevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE Well constructed dog who is balanced throughout with a good overall shape. Nice head and neck sitting into well laid shoulders. Good depth of body and good hind quarter angulation. On the whole I would like a little more of him all over. |
Open Dog (2 entries)
| 1st | Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX A different decision between 2 dogs of different types but both of good merit. Slightly larger dog who has a good head, neck and shoulders. Loved his depth of body and overall shape. Good hind quarters with a good bend of stifle. Moved well with reach and drive, in super coat and condition BD. |
| 2nd | Ryder ARTHUNDUR DREAM COME TRUE Slightly smaller dog but well constructed with a good head neck and shoulders. Just preferred the winners overall fore quarter construction. Good depth of body and well angulated hind quarters. In good coat and condition, moved well. RBD, BSBIB. |
Minor Puppy Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | Crowe ELSFIE'S FIGGY PUDDING Smaller bitch then I would like personally but she is well constructed and had time on her side, moved well, BPIB. |
Puppy Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | Tester GINGAFING GO YOUR OWN WAY Lovely puppy bitch but unfortunately today everytime I went to go over her she preferred to roll over onto her back. She is nicely angulated and moved well. |
Junior Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Kindell & Anstead EUSANIT PRIDE AND JOY VIA RIVERWATCHER JW Immature but well put together bitch with good angulation in both her fore and hind quarters. Feminine head of good type with a good length of neck. Liked her depth of body, just needs time to finish developing to finish the picture. |
| 2nd | Burchell ORYXES KISSING THE WAVES ON TIVALAKE (IMP CAN) Had the edge maturity wise with good depth of body and spring of rib but I preferred the overall outline and movement of the winner today. |
Post Graduate Bitch (5 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Trickett CFYRE'S HIGH TEA AT TOLLPEPPER JW (IMP CAN) Lighter colours bitch with a good length of neck and nicely constructed fore quarters. She has good depth of body and nicely angulated hind quarters, best mover in the class. |
| 2nd | Watton TASARLA MOON RIVER Liked her type of head and good depth of body. Angulation wise this bitch is very similar to the winner but i preferred the winners fore quarters and movement. |

| 1st | Anstead SH CH RIVERWATCHER KODA Liked this bitches overall shape, balance and substance as soon as she came into the ring. Loved her head, neck, shoulders and fore quarters in general. Super depth and spring of rib. Hind quarters are well angulated with a good bend of stifle which is used to good effect as she moved with good reach and drive. In great coat and condition. BB, BOB and I was thrilled to hear that she had been shortlisted in the Gundog Group. |
| 2nd | Burchell TIVALAKE TEMPTATION Slightly smaller bitch but still a quality example of the breed. Nice type of head but I would like a little more neck. Nicely angulated in both her fore and hind quarters. With a good depth of body. Moved well. |
