Limit Dog (2 entries)

1^st	Crisp LYONHOUSE DRUMMER STUART OF ST DAY Full coated dog oozing joie de vivre. He has a good forehand developed quarters. I liked his head, male without being coarse and well set ears and I was impressed by his jaunty, very correct movement, using his tail well and not at all affected by the heat which had caused a distinct lack of animation in some otherwise very good dogs. BD and BOB.
2^nd	Davies DECOYMANS PIPER ICEBERG OF STONEBEECH Good quality coat here. Good front assembly, level topline, but loin slightly longer than first. Good tight feet.

Open Dog (4 entries)

Some good dogs in this class, not liking the heat and consequently rather lethargic.

1^st	Mortimore LYONHOUSE BEN STUART Not in full coat, but a very attractive dog. Compact and with good angulations. Good head and bright alert expression. Good reach of neck, well set on. Good forward reach and drive on the move.
2^nd	Burt & Ashton DECOYMANS SWEDISH DESIGN Pleasing head properties and he is well boned with good depth and ribbing. Not so good in front aspect as first, but he has a good layback of upper arm and good rear angulation.
3^rd	Harding & Whitehill NAROD THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
Res	Roffey NAROD JOKER JACK

Junior Bitch (1 entry)

1^st	Grigg DECOYMANS PIPER ARIADNE FOR TANMARK Active well co-ordinated movement here. Good angulations fore and aft, strong topline and good tail carriage. Wish there was a bit more of her.

Post Graduate Bitch (3 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Somerset FOXDOWN PERIWINKLE OF RUBYRON This bitch was carrying a bit too much weight, but she has a good coat. Straight front, good rear angulation and is very feminine in outlook. Attractive head is spoilt by odd ear carriage. Moved ok.
2^nd	Mortimore FOXDOWN ZILLAH Pretty bitch with appealing expression and nicely shaped head. She has a good forehand assembly, but tends to run up behind a bit. Maybe because her hocks are a bit too high set.

Limit Bitch (6 entries, 3 absent)

1^st	Macleod & Hussey NEWFANOVA JEMIMA BEAR AT CAMUSMOR Well constructed and looks bright and alert. Well laid shoulders and good layback of upper arm giving her good forward reach. Strong bodied and good rear angulation. Eyes need to darken.
2^nd	Sanford DECOYMANS PIPER SERENA AT PALUDIC Rather out of coat on the day. She has good head proportions. Good straight front and good length of upper arm. Moved in a well co-ordinated fashion.
3^rd	Mortimore FOXDOWN ZILLAH

Open Bitch (3 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Foreman FOXDOWN ALFINA OF REEDRUNNER Most appealing head and expression. Not much coat on the day, but what there is is of good quality. Good forehand, level topline, good rear angulation and good tailset. Moved with typical springy gait.
