Puppy Dog or Bitch (4 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Head EUSANIT RED RABBIT 8M B, compact body, nicely balanced head of correct wedge shape, good eye colour, neat, high set ears, strong medium length neck, strong topline and good tailset, good bone and feet, correct front assembly, depth of chest and spring of rib, rich red coat with ample undercoat, moved well for her age BP
2^nd	Townsend-Bean ARTHUNDUR FIRECRACKER 9M B, lighter framed than 1, sweet head and expression, eyes still need to darken a little more, up on her legs a little at this stage, just needs to drop back down into herself, well boned legs to good feet, correct coat and undercoat, moved ok, well handled to get the best from her

Special Yearling Dog or Bitch (5 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Townsend-Bean ARTHUNDUR FIRECRACKER
2^nd	Hunt WAKADUZE DOTAME B of just over 12M, pretty head and soft expression, I liked her size but felt she was just lacking a little substance, good depth but needs more infill in front, nicely angulated fore & aft, moved well
3^rd	Holden WHENOVA ETESIAN

Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)

1^st	Strevens TOLLISTY SHINCHA JW B of just 2Y, loved her head & expression, she is so nicely balanced all through, good size, strong moderate length of neck into well laid shoulders, strong topline & correct tailset, good in forechest, well angulated fore & aft, rich red coat & good undercoat, well boned legs to good feet, lovely sensible, sound movement, pleased to award her BOB

VHC	Holden WHENOVA ETESIAN

Open Dog or Bitch (5 entries, 2 absent)

1^st	Strevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE really nitpicking between 1&2 in this class, 1 is a 3Y D, really rich red colour, lovely masculine head with a good eye, not the biggest of dogs but all male, strong neck, correct topline & tailset, well sprung ribs and excellent depth of chest, in good coat with required undercoat, lovely & steady on the move, to be picky I would have liked a fraction more length of leg to balance him but a nice dog overall, RBOB
2^nd	Strevens SH CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE GAELACH AT TOLLISTY almost 6Y B, pretty head with eye colour to tone with her rich red coat, nice size, good neck, well laid shoulder, tight elbows, good depth of chest and well sprung ribs, excellent forechest, moved soundly, well deserving of her title, just preferred the dog today
3^rd	McDowell WAKADUZE WAPA
