Puppy Dog or Bitch (1 entry)
| 1st | How & Farley SAWBRIDGE LOCHBUIE This is a lovely young prospect with lots to like and plenty of potential. Good head, shoulders, topline, tailset, and hind angles. Stands on good feet and moved with accuracy. Presented in super order. BP. |
Graduate Dog or Bitch (6 entries, 1 absent)
A mix of shapes and sizes in this class, with some not showing to advantage.
| 1st | Trueman CRETSHENGAN LAKE ITASCA (AI) This young male appealed overall for size and balanced, and put on the best performance in this class today, using all of himself to best advantage both standing and moving. Has a good temperament and is nice to handle. Just needs time to mature and fill in. |
| 2nd | Fielder CRETSHENGAN TORRAN LOCH JW (AI) Very similar to the winner, however rather tense being gone over and stood up he wasn’t so relaxed which rather spoiled his outline. That said, he moved out well, just needs some confidence and work being stood up. |

Limit Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
| 1st | Sim STELLENBOSCH KRILENCU Really rather liked this smartly made well presented dog, who put on a really good show and worked well with his handler. Medium size and compact with strength and balance all through. Good balance of skull with neat triangular ears. Strong and clean in neck, and over the topline. Liked the moderation and balance in his forehand and rear angles, which showed in a very tidy accurate action on the move. Presented in first class order. BoB. |
| 2nd | Adshead AFONBACH DANCE WITH DRAGONS JW Needs of a lot of work to gain confidence as was rather difficult to assess with being so worried about the surroundings. Looked a decent type, and did enough, but needs a lot of time. |
Open Dog or Bitch (5 entries)
| 1st | Adshead AFONBACH WINTER IS COMING JW A soundly made honest sort with lots of breed appeal. Topped this rather mixed class by moving out steadily and soundly with composure, balance, and accuracy of footfall. Presented in great coat. RBoB |
| 2nd | Copeland CAMUSMOR BRINGMESUNSHINE TO MENSTONIA Another very sound well balanced sort, presented in immaculate order. Of good type with much to admire. |
