1. Rudbach’s Sh Ch Micklemess Making Music at Clumbadane. A difficult decision in this class, two dogs both Sh Ch’s but different in type. This one has a masculine head, not overdone, lovely neck and shoulders, big ribs and a deep chest, clean eye , well off for bone with large tight feet, , well angulated. Sound moving coming and going, and holds an excellent topline when moving. Really well muscled could quite easily envisage him doing a day’s work . BOB

2. Thorogood’s Sh Ch Over the Yardarm of Harrifield JW ShCM. Another lovely dog, balanced all through, with a masculine head and good expression, good bone, deep chest with well sprung ribs carried well back, well angulated and very sound moving.
