Thank you for inviting me to judge and to all those who entered under me.
Puppy Dog or Bitch (3 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Warren AFONBACH DREAMFYRE AT SHORROCKS 7 month old bitch with nice compact shape overall. Level topline and well bent stifles. Feminine head with eyes well blended to coat and neat triangular ears. Pleasing markings. Moved with appealing springy and jaunty action. BP |
| 2nd | Adshead AFONBACH SYRAX Another 7 month old bitch with good bone and well sprung ribs. Balanced and well-schooled on the move, holding her topline. Just preferred overall shape of first. As she is still a young puppy can expect leg length to develop further with time. |
Junior Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
| 1st | Smith TOLLISTY COULDN'T CARELESS Liked the sized of this bitch, and she was furnished with a well feathered coat. Strong in her front with tight feet. Nice wedge shaped head with good ear set and feminine expression. Held her topline and moved with purpose. Look forward to seeing how she matures as she begins to fill out further. RBOB Pleased to discover afterwards that this placing provided her final Junior Warrant point – congratulations! |

| 2nd | Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR JW A well balanced dog who I have had my eye on for a while. Good eye and head, well placed front and very pleasing coat. Lively Toller attitude, just wanted him a little more settled on the move. |
