Puppy Dog (no entries)
Junior Dog (2 entries)
| 1st | Pike FIELDRANGER'S FRIAR JACK 14 months, pleasing overall type & proportions, well balanced head, nicely boned & ribbed. Looked good going around but needs to strengthen behind. |
| 2nd | Westwood EUSANIT CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Very pleasing on the move with a typical head & expression, just more compact & leggy than 1 but should look better when he matures in body & fills out his frame. |
Post Graduate Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Wright ERIKACHEN DAITHI OF WRIGHTPAW JW Well schooled & well conditioned, quality head, good basic construction but standing tends to slope off in topline yet he holds it perfectly on the move. Goes with freedom & drive using his quarters well. |
| 2nd | Morgan ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW Very shapely & possibly better filled frame than 1 but not the neck & a little heavy over the shoulder. Good basic head type, well angulated, moved steadily. |
| 3rd | Dee MELANITTA CARELINUS |
Open Dog (7 entries)
| 1st | Anstead SH CH/LUX/BEL/INT SH CH RIVERWATCHER ATKA Handsome dog fully mature & of excellent overall type. Correctly proportioned outline, very typical head & expression, nicely marked, well boned, good spring of rib, firm topline. Moves true with scope & power. Easy BOB winner. |
| 2nd | Fielder EUSANIT STAND AND DELIVER AT CRETSHENGAN Another impressive & good moving male, a little leggier than 1 & not quite so cosmetically pleasing but is very well constructed & was fit & hard, with a basically good head. RBD. |

Puppy Bitch (no entries)
Junior Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Moult & Savory EUSANIT NAUGHTY BUT NICE FOR CROFTWELL JW 16 months, full of type & promise & so light on her feet. Very feminine head, well balanced outline with optimum angulation. Very well marked, needs to develop in forechest & generally fill out her frame but should finish up well. RBB. |
| 2nd | Westwood EUSANIT BEST OF THE BUNCH Again feminine & fundamentally the correct shape but less forward than 1 & she needs to tighten in front. |
Post Graduate Bitch (5 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Cox ALLIANCE DE LA VIE RED THISTLE IN ICESTORM (IMP NLD) A real conundrum as standing she has such appeal in outline & overall type, has a pleasing head, showed so obligingly yet when she moves she comes on inexplicably wide & I could not for the life of me work out why. Such a shame as she has so much to like. |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA GALATINA Pleased in head but is slightly loose in eye, basically well angulated & balanced but tends to soften in topline. Moved quite well. |
| 3rd | Rogers TOLLYHIMMEL DRUNKUN DUCK |
| Res | Morgan REDAURORA COMET'S CHRISTMAS OF DELTANDAMBA |
Open Bitch (5 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Anstead RIVERWATCHER PIKPAKTUK JW Mature bitch of excellent type & shape, well bodied & conditioned. Quality head, moderate angulation, well boned & ribbed. Holds herself so well on the go around & is true out & back. BB. |
| 2nd | Westwood SH CH/IR SH CH EUSANIT APPLE OF ONE'S EYE JW Feminine, full of quality & pleasing overall type but today was not as outgoing as 1 & seemed to be a little weaker in pastern. Excellent head type, correct balance of outline & angulation, nicely marked. |
| 3rd | Rogers EUSANIT CHASE THE DREAM |
| Res | Adshead DANEHAVEN VERMILION FOR AFONBACH |
