Graduate Dog or Bitch (7 entries, 2 absent)
| 1st | Shore BRIZTOLLIE I HAVE A DREAM 7 month old dog – just a young dog but full of promise! Lovely head shape with correct ear set, good length to neck set on well placed shoulders and good front assembly. A surprisingly deep chest for such a young dog, correct spring to ribs and a level top line. Short back and strong loin, liked his angles behind and found him in excellent coat. A real solid mover showing good straight lines and good drive behind. Nicely handled. BP & RBOB |
| 2nd | Miss P Hunt WAKADUZE DUWAMISH 9 month old bitch. The sweetest of heads, good eye and correct ear set, good neck and well laid shoulders. Straight front and lovely tight feet. A really nice shape when stood - short backed and good angles behind, good coat. Balanced on the move with level top line and good tail set, straight line both going and coming towards. Just not as well muscled as 1 today |

| 1st | Hughes ABACOT INTO THE UNKNOWN JW Rising 4 year old dog. Masculine appearance but with no coarseness. Presented in good condition and well muscled. Correct depth of brisket and forechest and really covered the ground with effortless strides. |
| 2nd | Palfrey EUSANIT WILD ATLANTIC WAY 5 year old dog. Balanced head and lovely shape to body. Straight front and level top line when stacked. Just preferring the rear quarters of 2 on the day. Moved well with good drive behind and reach in front |

| 1st | Rolf & Parker TOLLPEPPER ECHO'S HOPE FOR SKYSARIA 4 year old bitch. Spoiled for choice in this class! Lovely bitch of decent size and substance. Well proportioned. Excellent wedged shaped feminine head, good length of muzzle with tight fitting lips. Slight but perceptible stop, ears well set on. Medium well muscled neck leading to well laid shoulders. Good fore angulation, straight strong legs and tight round feet. Good spring to ribs and brisket reaching to the elbows. Strong loin leading to well set on tail. Good rear angulation. Moved with drive – actually outmoved everything today! BOB |
| 2nd | Ward MELANITTA PALMATA JW 6 ½ year old dog. An impressive dog who appealed for balance. Good head and almond-shaped eyes, correct strong neck into laid back shoulders, deep chest and good spring of rib, ample body condition, strongly made rear with decent turn of stifle. Quality dog who moved exceptionally well but just did not move with the power and jauntiness of 1 today. |
