Junior Dog or Bitch (3 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Smith TOLLISTY RAUDR (6m D) Won this on cleaner movement, 2 very similar dogs so I was splitting hairs. Nice wedge head shape, broad and good eye shape with a very alert expression, neck correct medium length and muscular, well-placed shoulder, topline level and well-bent stifle. BP
2^nd	Strevens TOLLISTY SHINCHA (6m B) Very similar in all attributes, just not quite as together as 1 on the move. Preferred tail carriage to 1, good level topline, correct angles stifles well bent and feminine head of correct shape with nice almond shape eye. Wasn’t surprised to find out these was from the same litter!

Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Strevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE (2yr D) Won the class on clean movement, super feet tight, rounded and well arched, correct wedge shaped head slight rounded. Eye correct, slightly longer cast than others, but nice mover with good bend of stifle. Correct front and flat topline. RBOB
2^nd	Bate-Ash EUSANIT HIT THE LIGHTS (3yr D) More substantial dog, balanced and a good mover but couldn’t quite match the accuracy of 1. Tail carried a little high . Super feet, head correct, neck well muscled, topline flat and correct focus just taken away by high tail carriage. Well-bent stifles and nice deep chest well sprung ribs.

Open Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Elkin CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC SHCEX (4yr D) My notes say the finished article. Stood out in the class, super coat & condition, correct wedge shaped head, correct ear set high and well back medium length of neck well muscled, well laid back shoulder, topline flat, Chest deep and well sprung ribs. Forelegs straight with nice tight elbows, well bend stifles and well let down hocks. BOB
2^nd	Morse EUSANIT CELTIC SEA AT SINSIRCARIAD ((3yr B) Another that really pushed hard for the top spot here, it was down to accuracy of movement and 1 just pipped her for this. Best of heads, nice flat topline, and good bend of stifle and well-muscled hindquarters. Super feet arched and tight and a nice straight front. Chest deep enough with a good spring of rib.
