Junior Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Smith TIVALAKE ANYTHING GOES AT TOLLISTY JW 17 month bitch with pleasing outline and unmistakeably feminine. Loved her head proportions and shape with good ear set, and excellent bite. Very balanced with good tail set/croup, correct depth of chest and well angles throughout. Moved well in all directions. |
| 2nd | Gosnell KATMISTSKY'S ANN AGAIN 9 month bitch who lost out mainly on maturity as expected. Just right for her age and pleasing head properties with well set ears. Such super muscle condition for one so young and sensible angulation making the most of it. Moved very well in profile and coming to but a touch close when moving away. BPIB |

Open Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Strevens SH CH ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW SHCM SHCEX . Not surprised to see that this smart-as-paint chap has his crown! His maturity, balance, bodily condition and attitude combined with his super type, just made him impossible to overlook. A pleasure to go over with such good muscle, correctly angulated, chest appropriately developed, great topline and really looking the part from all angles. Attractive head with well shaped eye, correctly set ears gave him that typical expression. Particularly good in front and feet. On the move, he really showed himself with excellent tail carriage and never gave up for a moment. His confidence and showmanship just wowed me today. BOB and delighted to see him go Gundog Group 1. |
| 2nd | Foster-Brown STELLENBOSCH SAUSAULITO (AI) Just 2yrs bitch and unlucky to be up against such a showman! Slightly out of coat today but what is there is clear to see and doesn't need hiding. Well shaped head although she had a moment or two of boredom and wasn't really using her ears to advantage. Also in excellent condition with correct topline and tailset/carriage. Moved in no nonsense fashion. |

| 1 | Strevens SH CH ERIKACHEN CONAIRE AT TOLLISTY JW SHCM SHCEX Very occasionally you come across a dog that has such perfect symmetry it instantly attracts. The overall superb balance and ground-covering, effortless movement, won this handsome boy the group of such high quality. A superb example of the breed, with the most appealing, intelligent, friendly, expression. Correct angulation with great muscling across the quarters and loin, correct tail carriage with his free, even movement. Great rapport with handler. |
