1st Bromley's "Cossy's Jammie Dodger at Jardene JW" Glamorous boy, a real showman. Sturdy and well made, level topline, strong loin and well angulated. Good head and skull, strong well arched neck, good mouth. Covered the ground and maintaining a good topline on the move. Just preferred the eye and front of MP winner for BPD
2nd Webster's "Kilnhaven Duo"
Class 3 Junior Dog (3) (2 abs)
Close decision between two quality dogs. Understand they have changed places many times and I can understand why. Superb temperament and showmanship from both.
1st Seward's "Elleonia On The Level" Very well balanced grey, of ideal size, sturdy and well muscled. Lovely head, good eye and typical expression. Level topline, decent layback of shoulder, well sprung ribcage, good neck and carriage. Excellent outline, abundant coat of good heavy texture. Moved out with style and true typical action. Reserve Best Dog.
2nd Scarll's "Timazinti Motoro"
Class 4 Special Yearling Dog (3) (2 abs)
1st Jones' "Rishlyn Sommersby" Glamorous gold, lovely eye and expression, correct mouth and skull, for me a touch long in muzzle. Well sprung ribcage, perhaps could use a touch more depth. Well laid shoulder, level topline, good tailset and carriage. Moves with good drive and reach. In super coat and condition.

Class 9 Limit Dog (4)
1st DavidsonJones' "Peakajay High Finance JW" Pleasure to judge this top quality boy, of ideal size, masculine and arrogant with not a hint of coarseness. Lovely head and eye, beautifully balanced throughout. Strong well arched neck, which he uses to advantage on the move. Excellent layback of shoulder well angulated hindquarters. Sturdy, strong and well muscled body, superb ribcage. Level topline good tailset, moves true and with style without exaggerated kick up in the rear. In excellent coat of good heavy texture. I would have thought a very worthy title holder and wish him well. Best Dog & Reserve Best in Show
2nd Jones' "Becsgame Summer Breeze"
3rd Waterhouse's "Chtaura New Dimension"
Res Carter & Waddell's "Whispara Strike a Paws for Alamiks"
Class 10 Open Dog (2) (1 abs)
1st Sumner's "Ch Truern Pole Position" Gold of lovely type, size and balance. Looks the part and very eye catching on the move. Excellent drive and reach and typical jaunty action. Level topline, good neck, well sprung ribcage of good depth, strong sturdy loin. Would prefer more straightness to limbs fore and aft. In superb coat, beautifully handled and presented.
Class 11 Veteran Dog or Bitch (2) (1 abs)
1st McNally's "Ch Angadema Applause" A real showman, very eye-catching, perhaps a touch too vivacious today on the move as he lost precision and jauntiness. Nice head and skull, very well made in body with excellent layback of shoulder and upper arm, strong reach neck, level topline. Very well ribbed and nicely angulated hindquarters. In super heavy coat, body and muscular condition. Forfeited higher honours today as he is now showing his age in mouth, eye and pigmentation but certainly a most worthy champion of his day.
Class 12 Minor Puppy Bitch (9) (5 abs)
1st Waterhouse's "Chtaura Do Ya Wanna Dance" Really impressed with this gold, has everything going for her to make it to the top. Of ideal size and excellent conformation throughout with superb front and shoulder. Beautiful head, eye and glorious expression, superb mouth. Good reach of neck, strong and sturdy loin, well ribbed up, level topline and well set and carried tail. Moves soundly as her construction dictated with freedom, jauntiness and lovely attitude. In superb coat and muscular condition for one so young. Would have taken her home given the chance. Best Puppy in Show.

Res Sumner's "Kenworth Play Misty for Truern"
Class 13 Puppy Bitch (7) (3 abs)
1st Ogden's "Absosengkye Only You" Very attractive gold and white who was also very pleasing to handle on the table. Beautiful feminine head and eye, perfect mouth, good reach of neck and super outline. Very well ribbed, strong loin, good tailset, excellent balance throughout. In good coat and condition. Just lost out to the superior front assembly of MP but a cracking bitch nonetheless.

3rd Harrison's "Brendella's Freaky Friday"

Straight front with good bone, well sprung ribcage of good depth, strong and sturdy in loin, level topline. Well arched neck, excellent heavy coat of good texture.

Beautiful feminine head, good skull and fall away, correct oval dark eye, decent mouth, good chin, all giving her a totally melting typical expression. Correctly constructed in front, shoulder and upper arm totally matched behind by strong well angulated hindquarters. She has substance but is totally feminine with good bone, strong well arched neck and well muscled compact loin.
