1. Mr & Mrs Oorloff - Shyllar Rapt In Gold

Very pleasing 4 year old R&W bitch, who presents a balanced and shapely outline with harmonious proportions. Pleasing head, with a flat skull, and nicely tapering, dark eyes with a hint of mischief. Finely boned, with a firm level topline, would prefer slightly tighter tail and feet. Well developed through the body. Just not settling on the move today, which would have given her the top spot. -RBOB

1. Miss Aldis - Torryburn Drummer

15 month old grizzle dog, who presents a very pleasing outline on the stack, showing good proportions and balance, but would not want anymore of him. Masculine otter head, with well placed ears, and dark oval eyes. Strong neck flowing into a firm topline with a nice carrot tail. Good depth of brisket with his legs well under him. Shown with a good coat and pelt, moving out soundly - RBOB

2. Mrs Parsons - Arunmere Artemis

14 month old grizzle bitch, with a lovely temperament, liked the overall size and shape. Very feminine head, flat in skull with well placed ears, dark keen eyes. Narrow all through and easy to span, firm in topline, falling away a little at the croup. Right amount of bone and neat feet. Moving true fore and aft, but not quite the drive of winner today.

1. Miss Aldis - Torryburn Fidelity

2 year old grizzle bitch, more compact in outline. Balanced in head, with a flat skull, slight stop and strength to the foreface. Strong neck, and deep in brisket, a little more spring to the ribcage. Liked her hindquarters, a good width of thigh but racy. Moving out soundly in all directions with drive,and a good tail carriage. Shown with a good harsh coat and thick pelt.

2. Miss Feeney - Starmix Candy

Keen and alert 20 month old grizzle bitch, having a racier outline than winner and thought she would take the class. Feminine head, with a lovely dark inquisitive eye. Good length of neck, narrow all through, and easy to span, tending to lose her topline today, good depth to the brisket with racy hindquarters. Moved soundly tending to carry her tail a fraction higher, not quite the coat of winner.
