Puppy Dog (1,0)
1 Williams – ERYRI FRASER Eye catching puppy with a lovely dark coat and good bone. Attractive head with a good dark eye. Good long neck leading into well laid shoulders, straight front and good feet. Lovely hindquarters. Still a youngster so needs to fill out overall and deepen in chest. Movement loose at this point. However, this was I think the pup’s first show in a noisy indoor venue and confidence in the ring and more settled movement will come in time. Promising dog.
Junior Dog (1,0)
1 Finnett and Heathcote - ANTONIUS VERTRAGUS THE-RIFT-VALLEY WITH HYNDSIGHT Another great youngster shown in good well muscled condition. Lovely head, strong neck with good reach leading to a lovely top line held well on the move and good rear angulation. Very promising RCC

1 Sharp - HUMBIEHOUNDS PIRNMILL AT CORONACH Powerful dog maturing well. Good length to body with strong loin and good bone. Lovely harsh coat. Tail carried a little high on the move but held top line well with good rear movement.
2 Nicholls - CHUILINN ENIGMA AT ALBAEIRN Lovely dark coat. Ears could be smaller. Good bone and feet. Just didn’t have quite the top line and balance of first.

LIMIT DOG (1,2)
1 Barret - STRANWITH IAGO Best head and expression seen today with lovely ears. Eye catching dog. Good harsh coat and good bone and feet. Lovely hindquarters and good fallaway. Just not so settled in the ring today which did not help in the dog challenge.
OPEN DOG (2,1)
1 Fritz and Krüger - CH FRITZENS THE MUTHAIGA CLUB Striking dog with a lovely overall shape and great balance. Good length of neck with well laid shoulders and good forechest with ample fill in. The front could have been a little straighter but didn’t detract from their movement. Top line held well on the move with lovely profile movement which together with a strong ring presence won him the class, Dog CC and BOB.
2 Swanson - CH COTHERSTONE DALLAS DHU OF ALTIMARLACH Another lovely strong dog with good bone and feet. Overall, very well balanced dog with good length to the body and a lovely head. Movement not quite as free today in this indoor ring as the first.

1 Morgan - GREYFLAX BRACKEN Lovely length of neck and body. Good feet and front pastern slope with straight front. Lovely rear angulation. Profile movement good.
2 Swanson –ALTIMARLACH BALNABRUICH Very close decision. In the end I went for the more substantial mature bitch for the first place but this puppy had the better head and ears. She had lovely quarters and fallaway. Good feet and profile movement was good.
