Veteran Dog (2 entries)

1^st	Anstead MULTI CH RIVERWATCHER ATKA He is a sound moving dog with a good shaped head, kind eye and a good bite. He was carrying enough weight for my taste but he still holds a good outline in profile and showed some accuracy coming and going.
2^nd	Wakely RIVERWATCHER NUKILIK Here was another good specimen, also carrying enough weight. He moved true and held a firm outline but did not use his tail to maximum advantage.

Minor Puppy Dog (3 entries)

1^st	Nevers TOLLELKIN DREAM COVE AT SHELDRAKE This baby is quite captivating. He makes a very strong statement on the stack, flowing from head to tail. He has the correct length of neck, excellent shoulders with superb angles and a very good length of upper arm. His topline is ultra firm and although initially I thought that he looked slightly longer cast, once you have your hands on him he is actually totally balanced with good ribbing and a firm hard and short loin. He was shown in lovely coat and condition and he carried his tail perfectly. His head, expression and dentition are text book and his movement is a total joy. He cannot move wrongly as he is so correctly made. He is good perfect in all directions with a captivating side gait that was not matched or beaten all day, I was pleased to award him the CC & BOB. I was absolutely delighted to learn that the Reserve Dog CC winner and the Bitch CC winner turned out to be his half-brother and half-sister!
2^nd	Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR This is the litter brother to the winner who didn't make quite the same lovely flowing outline appearing a little more upright in shoulder and a little stuffy in neck. He too was very accurate on the move but not quite as fluid in profile action as his brother.

2^nd	Fielder CRETSHENGAN TORRAN LOCH (AI) This Baby was good for head and expression, dentition and presentation. He held a good topline and his tail carriage was perfect. Today he did not quite match the winner for rear action going away.

Junior Dog (4 entries)

1^st	Limerick & O'Sullivan RIVERWATCHER PALUKTAK Third in previous class. He is a larger and heavier set type with a stronger head. He holds a good topline and he was a true mover.
2^nd	Adshead AFONBACH RIVER GUARDIAN I really liked the breed type of this youngster but he was just not settled at all and subsequently paid the price. He just needs to get his act together and should do well.

Yearling Dog (1 entry)

1^st	Palfrey EUSANIT WILD ATLANTIC WAY Another good type here, he just needs to fill his frame and to tighten up in his front action. On the stack he presents a very good outline and he maintains this extremely well with an excellent side gait.

Novice Dog (4 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Adshead AFONBACH RIVER GUARDIAN
2^nd	Mohan TIVALAKE MAKE WAY I really liked the accuracy of this dog coming and going but I feel that I would just like a little bit more of him all through. He moved out in side gait but was not quite as free or fluid as the winner.
3^rd	Palfrey EUSANIT WILD ATLANTIC WAY

Post Graduate Dog (5 entries)

1^st	Wright CAMUSMOR CROWN ROYAL Here was a really good moving dog with a very strong topline, excellent tail and a very well muscled body. He was in very good condition. He just needs to coat up to complete the picture.
2^nd	Adshead AFONBACH WINTER IS COMING JW This dog pushed the winner hard. He too is a lovely type with excellent ears, a very strong topline and good movement in all directions. He also needs to coat up.

Limit Dog (9 entries)

1^st	Elkin TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO He was a good winner in this mixed class. I liked him for his excellent flowing outline, classic head and kind expression. He has a short firm loin, an excellent topline and great feet. On the move he showed accuracy coming and going and good extension in profile. I was pleased to award him the Reserve CC and I am thrilled to be told the he is a half-brother to the Dog CC winner and full litter mate to the Bitch CC winner.
2^nd	Hunt RIVER WISE OF GREAT PLEASURE AT WAKADUZE (IMP BEL) Here was another good type with a super head and expression but just not quite the scope of the winner. He is well balanced with a really lovely topline, excellent feet and he is an ultra-sound mover in all directions.

1^st	Titovets MULTI CH MACDREAMS TRENT FROM CASHEL VALE JW SGWC RL3 (IMP NLD) A deep red dog in very good coat and condition and he certainly makes the most of himself on the move. In the final challenge for top honours he moved at too quick a pace and he tended to lose his topline at times. He is well made throughout with good bone, tight feet and good tail set and usage and has lots to offer the breed. In the challenge I just preferred the head and expression of the main two winners.
2^nd	Wakely RIVERWATCHER KAVIKSUK Here was a very accurate moving dog with a really lovely head and expression shown in hard well muscled condition. He has a lovely front and good feet and is balanced throughout. He pushed hard for top spot but he he was just not reaching out quite as much in profile but he was very close up to winning.

2^nd	Winship STELLENBOSCH TATIANA Unfortunately this bitch was really out of coat, but she had so much to offer, that I nearly let my heart rule my head. She has a lovely head and expression and is a true and accurate mover with a good outline which she holds on the move.

1^st	Andrews FALLOWFEN FAITHFUL YOKO OF JEMMATEE At 9 years old this bitch has the sweetest of heads, was in great coat but she is just beginning to really show her age. I imagine that in her day she was a real picture.

Minor Puppy Bitch (2 entries)

1^st	Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM DANCER I thought that this baby was really immature compared to her male litter mates. She has the same lovely head and expression and very good outline. She moved ok.
2^nd	Andrews TOLLELKIN DREAM SPRING AT JEMMATEE Another decent one from this litter but she was carrying far too much weight today. She too has a good head and expression and was a true mover.

Puppy Bitch (3 entries)

1^st	Hipkiss AFONBACH FIRST SIGN O' SPRING AT DELTANDAMBA This puppy has a really good flowing outline. Was in excellent coat and condition with lovely tight feet. She is a good mover and should have a bright future. Best Puppy Bitch
2^nd	Anstead RIVERWATCHER KODA Here was another good type but she was just not as positive behind. She has a good flowing outline too and was in superb coat and condition.

1^st	Westwood EUSANIT BAY OF FUNDY I really liked the breed type and the freedom of movement of this juvenile. She has a good head, is totally balanced and a sound and happy mover, which won her the class over her kennel mate.
2^nd	Westwood EUSANIT EVER FALLEN IN LOVE She too has lots of breed type but just not quite the flow of the winner. I liked her femininity, her ears and her feet. She moved ok.

1^st	Strevens TOLLELKIN CAIFE GAELACH AT TOLLISTY This bitch is not flashy but she is very good to go over and she fits the standard very well. She has a lovely head and expression, a super front assembly with good width and muscle to her rear quarters. She moved well in all directions with style and precision and was in super coat and condition. Handled sympathetically to maximise her many virtues. I was very happy to award her the Bitch CC (her first) I am now pleased to see that she is a full sister to the Reserve Dog CC and a half-sister to the Dog CC and Best Of Breed winner!

1^st	Golding KYMIN VA VA VOOM AVEC WHENOVA I really liked this bitch for size and she has an exquisite head and a superb expression. She is totally balanced but just needs to sort out her rear action to complete the picture fully.
2^nd	Foster-Brown STELLENBOSCH SAUSAULITO (AI) Here was a lot of loveliness and real quality in quite a small package! She too has a lovely head and expression and she is a clean and accurate mover with a lovely firm topline. I would just like a little bit more of her round!

1^st	Fielder IR SH CH EUSANIT BEST OF THE BUNCH AT CRETSHENGAN This quality bitch headed a mixed and quite disappointing class for me she was a clear winner with a lovely head and expression, super bone. Lovely feet, an excellent topline and she is a positive and fairly accurate mover. She pushed hard for top honours but I just preferred the coat and condition of the post graduate bitch and today I was pleased to award her the Reserve CC. I am not surprised to now hear that she has two tickets and I am sure that her crown will come soon for she will be a worthy champion.
2^nd	Hunt WAKADUZE SKOO A good mover here with a very strong outline and with an excellent flow from nose to tail. She was a touch out of coat but could not be denied her place today which she thoroughly deserved.
