Puppy Dog (2 entries)

1stHolt RIVERWATCHER K'EYUSH
I thought this youngster was stunning, excellent head and expression, correct layback of shoulder, well bodied for his age with strong hindquarters, excellent bone and feet, moved with drive and style. RBD and BP.
2ndWhitehead & Steen GABERLUNZIE BENRIACH
Giving away a lot in age, well shaped head, good layback of shoulder, correct amount of bone for age, moved well when settled.

Junior Dog (2 entries)

These two dogs were very similar and I see now they are litter brothers.

1stClark FLANOVA ERIYADU ISLAND
Good head and expression, reasonable layback of shoulder. I would like a little more angulation in upper arm. Moved steadily.
2ndClark FLANOVA NIKA
Same remarks apply, however I just preferred the topline of 1.

Yearling Dog (no entries)


Post Graduate Dog (2 entries)

1stClark FLANOVA GLENDRONACH
Very well balanced, good head shape with correct expression, well laid back shoulder, correct through ribcage leading to strong hindquarters, moved well.
2ndReader EUSANIT VISIONS OF CHILLBRAV
Pleasing head, reasonable layback of shoulder, strong hindquarters. Not quite the movement of 1.

Limit Dog (4 entries, 2 absent)

1stKnowles AVONWHARFE REVELATION AT MENSTONIA
Plenty big enough for me, very masculine, perhaps a shade strong in head for my preference. Good shoulder, correct through ribcage, strong hindquarters, moved well.
2ndBradley CAMUSMOR KNOCKANDO AT RUDDYDUCK P-BEG EX
Whereas there was more than enough of 1, this dog could do with a little more substance. Well balanced with correct shoulder and upper arm, well muscled hindquarters, moved steadily.

1stHarding & Whitehill TREVARGH THE ENTERTAINER AT BRIZEWOOD
A treat to have the opportunity of going over this dog again, he is now coming to his best, an excellent specimen of the breed showing superb balance, correct head and expression, good shoulder with correct return of upper arm, correct through ribcage to strong hindquarters, on the move he just flows around the ring, beautifully presented and handled, a great credit to his owners. BOB.

1stRussell & Smith RIVERWATCHER YAKONE
Very well balanced puppy, good head and expression, excellent shoulder and upper arm, good through body into correct hindquarters, moved well.
2ndCollins & Matthews GABERLUNZIE ARRAN
Pleasing head and expression, good shoulder and return of upper arm, correct amount of substance for her age, moved steadily.

Junior Bitch (2 entries)

1stGibson ERIKACHEN AOIFE DEARG
I thought this bitch was stunning, beautiful head and expression, correct shoulder and return of upper arm, good depth of body, well ribbed back into strong, well muscled hindquarters, excellent bone and feet, moved out well. In the challenge for BOB she lacked the maturity of the dog but in another year or so should feature highly. BB.
2ndClark DECOYMANS PIPER TANSY AT FLANOVA
Very good bitch, very good head, scores in her forehand construction, strong hindquarters. Not quite the movement of 1.

Yearling Bitch (1 entry)

1stCollins DECOYMANS PIPER SILVERBELL AT GABERLUNZIE
Very well balanced, pleasing head and expression, good forequarters, correct bone and feet, moved well when settled.

Post Graduate Bitch (3 entries, 1 absent)

1stMoult & Savory DECOYMANS PIPER MAPLE OF CROFTWELL
This lovely bitch was very out of coat which prevented her going further in the challenge. Excellent head and expression, correct shoulder and return of upper arm, well ribbed leading to strong hindquarters, good bone and feet, moved well.
2ndClark FLANOVA TULLIBARDINE
Not quite the overall balance of 1. Pleasing head and expression, good layback of shoulder and return of upper arm, strong hindquarters, good bone and feet, moved well.

Limit Bitch (2 entries, 1 absent)

1stDenton SWEET EASTER SURPRISE
This well made bitch is spoilt by being very overweight. Good head and expression, correct bone and feet, strong hindquarters, moved freely.

Open Bitch (2 entries, 1 absent)

1stGibson CAMUSMOR ANY DREAM ULDO FOR ERIKACHEN
Dam of my BB, very well balanced, super head and expression, good layback of shoulder, well ribbed back, strong hindquarters, moved well, a close contender for top honours but her daughter just had that 'look at me' factor which was the decider. RBB.
