Well grown eight month old black tricolour, with a masculine head and lovely expression with well set ears, nicely arched neck, enough bone and a level topline, well proportioned throughout and extremely good rear angulation, moves with an easy action holding his topline, shown in good coat and condition.

2nd: LUSTY, Miss Abby Cant Stop The Music Blamorder. Eleven month old blue merle, not quite the overall balance of (1) being slightly longer cast, head has fairly good proportions, front is ok, topline could be firmer, rear angulation is fine, in decent coat, would like to see him moved a tad slower as he tends to rush.

1st: JARRAM, Miss Kaye V & JARRAM, Mrs Sharon & WHITTIN Chalksville Strike A Deal With Kashaella JW. Almost three year old black tri with a classic outline, lovely head of balanced proportions, excellent front angulation, well sprung ribs, holds his topline well and has good rear angulation, shown in lovely condition and moved with an easy stride. Pleased to award him the DCC.

2nd: KNOTT, Mrs J Shalako's Come Hellr High Water (Imp USA). Attractive five year old red and white with good head proportions, well placed ears, good neck into a decent topline, would like more strength behind, moved well, in between coats at present.

2nd: BARR, Mrs Patricia Allmark Yogi Bear. Seems impossible I first judged this eight year old blue merle as a seven month old puppy - still got a good outline, masculine head and good bone, topline perhaps not as strong, excellent angulations, in good coat and still moving with enthusiasm!

1st: HODGES, Miss J Rosschell Maid To Sparkle With Jopium. Litter sister to the Best Puppy Dog, she is a feminine version all through, with a pretty head and expression and lovely blue eyes, balanced in head and body, she holds a good topline, is well angulated with good ribbing and shown in lovely coat and condition, moves at a steady pace covering the ground well.

2nd: DAVIS, Miss Michelle & WALSH, Mr Jake Rosschell Maid To Dream. Yet another from this lovely litter, this black tri bitch just needs to develop in head with a bit more fill under the eyes and could make better use of her ears, she has a good front, perhaps a tad longer cast than her sister, enough bone and good angulation, moving well enough.
