I was privileged to go over the quality danes in spectacular sunshine with a backdrop of the Scottish hillside. Many thanks to the kind, well organized committee.

PUPPY DOG (3)1 1. Browns Jorgei Beau Jangles 11 months nicely marked harley boy. Ears set well on pleasing head with good length of fore face, good drop of lip, correct teeth and most elegant neck. A little rangy at present needing more front and rear angulation. Moved out easily on nice tight feet with plenty of spring in his stride.

JUNIOR DOG (3)3 1. Battersby and Williams Internos Challenger JW is a gleaming black boy of 14 months with a commanding attitude. Strength of expression with neat ears set and used well on a masculine head, having good mouth, stop and breadth of muzzle. A clean elegant crested neck flowed into well laid shoulders with no creasing on the withers, presenting a well proportioned outline. Nicely filled front with good depth of chest, straight legs and tight feet. Correct topline, rise over the loin and muscular hindquarters with a good turn of stifle. Head held high as he moved smoothly and powerfully around the ring. A worthy BD & BIS today and plenty to come as he matures. 2.
