Small entry but I found plenty of quality dogs present.
Due to heavy rain, indoor judging in small rings on sodden ground meant the dogs & handlers couldn't stride out. Better body condition & muscling on the whole than last time I judged.

| 1st | Jarman DANEHAVEN MCLEOD Very pleasing outline with leg length. Masculine head with soft, kind expression, correct ear position & muzzle, good front, well ribbed, in coat. Held his level topline on the move, moved very well when he concentrated. Would benefit from ringcraft, as did not work with his handler, but quality shone when he behaved. BD. |
| 2nd | Powley DANEHAVEN TUNULIC Litter brother to 1. Heavier head & build, much deeper chest. Good front, excellent coat, moved well. Better hocks. |
