1^st

Warren AFONBACH DREAMFYRE AT SHORROCKS
Well made young bitch who had the edge on compactness over what I see now was her litter brother. Head clean cut, almond shaped eyes of pleasing colour. Well muscled neck, shoulders quite well positioned. Pleasing bone for her size, body of good depth, holds a good outline standing and moving covers the ground easily in all directions. Well presented coat, BOB and I understand her last JW point, congratulations.

2^nd

Stait AFONBACH BALERION
As masculine as his sister is feminine. Quite mature in head, al,old shaped eyes of good colour. Strong through the neck, shoulders well placed although still needing to fill in front. Strong well boned legs and round feet. Longer in the back. Well muscled hindquarters be used well on the move.

1^st	Copeland & Knowles EUSANIT IT'LL BE REET AT MENSTONIA Well grown masculine dog. Head well developed, of correct shape and with dark eyes and ears high set. Stands on straight well boned forelegs and has excellent feet. Firm in body condition, level topline, tail well set and carried, moved freely and soundly in all directions.
2^nd	Fielder CRETSHENGAN SIGNY Medium sized bitch, feminine in her outlook. I liked her head and eye shape, pleasing eye colour. Neck of good length, shoulders quite well positioned, could perhaps have a little more bone. Level topline which she maintained on the move, pleasing tail set and carriage. Moved soundly in all directions.
