Burchell ORYXES KISSING THE WAVES ON TIVALAKE (IMP CAN)
Dainty 11 month old bitch so very feminine throughout. She has a broad skull, moderate stop and a bright almond shaped eye. Firm in neck with well set shoulders and a lovely forechest. She is nicely balanced for one so young with a light clean action on the move. BP

Special Yearling Dog or Bitch (3 entries)

1^st	Adshead AFONBACH SYRAX JW What an exciting prospect this young bitch is. She has a classic head, wedge shaped with flat cheeks, tapering muzzle and bright amber eyes. She has lovely angulation fore and aft with just the right amount of clean bone. Strong level back with plenty of rib underneath it and her well muscled rear gave the correct amount of propulsion around the ring. In the challenge she seemed to just notch it up a gear and gave a stellar performance to win BOB over the striking open winner who I was informed later was her sire. The apple certainly hasn’t fallen far from the tree there.
2^nd	Sage SLOETREE SPECIAL CUVEE Another typical bitch with a lovely feminine head and expression, she has a good length of neck but not quite as finished in front as my winner. She has plenty of rib and well muscled rear which she used to advantage on the move.
3^rd	Trickett CFYRE'S HIGH TEA AT TOLLPEPPER JW (IMP CAN)

Limit Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Dorrell & Jenkins TOLLISTY MOET EN CHANDON JW This boy is all male of a pleasing shape and size. He has a wedge shaped head with flat cheeks and a bright well shaped eye.He has pleasing angulation fore and aft with a good depth of chest and spring of rib. Short, strong loin leading to a well muscled rear. Light and clean on the move.
2^nd	Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM DANCER JW Close up decision between these two but I just felt this girl was not quite as firm in the rear. She has a well made head with a lovely ear set and bright eye. She is clean through the neck and shoulder with enough spring of rib. She moved out nicely with plenty of reach.
3^rd	Trickett CFYRE'S SPELLBREAKER AT TOLLPEPPER (IMP CAN)

Open Dog or Bitch (3 entries)

1^st	Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX A flashy, eye catching dog who has strength and power throughout. Masculine in head with plenty of strength in it, his almond shaped eye compliments his coat colour and he has good breadth to his skull. Firm and muscled neck flowed well into his well set shoulder, plenty of deep ribs under a strong topline. Broad well muscled thighs gave a lively, true movement RBOB
2^nd	Adshead AFONBACH WINTER IS COMING JW Another quality dog in this hard fought class. He has a balanced profile and is well made throughout..His head is nicely balanced and masculine with good back skull, medium stop, tapering muzzle and almond shaped eyes which gave an alert and friendly expression. He is a good size but has the correct front and rear angulation and covers the ground in typical jaunty fashion.

2^nd	Burchell ORYXES KISSING THE WAVES ON TIVALAKE (IMP CAN) A lovely NSDTR with real showmanship, shown in beautiful order and deter-mined to shine, she had the typical outline, with a super coat and gave a good account of herself on the move, she had a lovely rapport with her handler.
