Thank you for such a good entry. However I found type varied greatly making my task a most difficult one. I was pleased with all my class winners but found Ear Set & Shape as well as Upright Shoulders need to be watched when breeding. Presentation in some cases could have been better!

Special Junior Dog (1 entry)

1^st	Queru PALUDIC PRESENCE Lovely head & expression, with triangular dropped ear, arched neck, good body, presented in good coat & condition, moved well. Although alone he deserved his first place.

Post Graduate Dog (10 entries)

1^st	Holt NEWFANOVA CHANCIE BEAR Good head, alert expression, correctly carried dropped ears, shoulders well laid back, bodying up nicely, good legs & feet, nice size, moved well. Well presented & handled.
2^nd	Mortimore FOXDOWN RUST A larger frame than above so needing longer to mature, lovely head & expression, good body, bone & feet, moved ok.
3^rd	Hempston ISAC VIKING Pleasing young dog with good head, rather short in neck, small folded ears spoilt his expression, otherwise quite nice, moved well for his handler & seemed to be enjoying himself.

Open Dog (14 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Van De Langenberg Corsels CH BEINNBHREAGH'S GREAT PLEASURE Very well balanced young male with lovely head & expression, correctly carried triangular ears, good body, bone & feet, moved with drive, very well presented, lost to the bitch for BOB on her better length of neck & lay back of shoulder.
2^nd	Claes-Kuyken LUX CH AXALUCA OF GREAT PLEASURE Liked this dog very much, pleasing head, good ear carriage, well bodied, not the coat or condition of first, moved well.
3^rd	Van Der Hamsvoord ZZ REDHEAD OF GREAT PLEASURE Yet another nice dog, not quite the overall balance of the two above, good head with correct ears, well bodied, moved ok.

Special Veteran Dog (3 entries)

1^st	Henriksen FIN/EST CH RODRAVENS MIC Certainly not showing his age, pleasing head with alert expression, correct ear shape & set, well bodied, moved with drive. Res BD closely followed by
2^nd	Russell INT/IR SH CH WINFREN VULPAQULA CADIAN 10 years, another well balanced dog of good type who could still show the youngsters how to move, drove round the ring, just showing a few grey hairs now but has been a good Ambassador for the breed in the UK.
3^rd	Mortimore LYONHOUSE BEN STUART 9 years, Quite a nice dog could not assess him as he did not seem so happy in the ring as the two above.
