1st: CURNOW, Mr & Mrs Chris & Bridget Draccus Yin

Promising 7-month-old male with much to like and an exciting future ahead of him. He has a well-shaped head, complemented by the darkest of eyes and a super expression. His compact, square outline is enhanced by good ribbing and a strong loin. Carrying a little extra weight today, but very much a baby and still developing. Once settled, he moved well and showed plenty of promise. At just 7 months of age, he is still at the beginning of his journey, and I am confident he will continue to improve and fulfil his considerable potential.

1st: DENHAM-HORTON, Mrs Cheryl & HORTON, Mr P Tapui Haraldsson At Jjavacobe Jw

Super 2-year-old male of excellent breed type, possessing a lovely head with an excellent muzzle. An arched neck flows into a correct front assembly, while his compact, square outline gives a most pleasing silhouette. He maintains a firm, level topline and has good ribbing carried back to a strong loin. His excellent, tightly curled tail is correctly set and completes the picture. A lovely mover, displaying soundness and balance with effortless carriage. He pushed the winner hard throughout the class and made a strong claim for top honours, but on this occasion had to settle for the RDCC.

2nd: KENT, Mrs Nancy & COBB, Mrs J & COBB, Mr M Knytshall Ragged Robin

Smart young male of good breed type with an attractive, typical head. He has a well-arched neck flowing into a firm, level topline, with a high-set tail and well-angulated hindquarters. He moved well, showing good soundness and balance, but could not quite match the overall compactness and finish of the class winner on this occasion.

1st: LAMBERT, Mrs C T Sturtmoor's Gon'n Dun It JW

Impressive 2-year-old male who is so well put together and presents a picture of balance and quality throughout. He possesses a lean, wedge-shaped head, complemented by lovely dark eyes that give a lively, alert expression. An arched neck flows smoothly into well-placed shoulders, with parallel front legs and small, tight oval feet. His firm, level topline is maintained at all times, and he is supported by moderately angulated hindquarters. Deep in chest to the elbows, with well-sprung ribs carried back to a firm loin. Correct high-set tail, tightly curled over the back. Compact in body with correct proportions and excellent overall balance. On the move, he is exceptionally sound coming and going, while in profile displaying light, effortless strides and excellent carriage. A pleasure to award him the DCC.

1st & Best Veteran in Breed - KENT, Mrs Nancy & COBB, Mrs J & COBB, Mr M Ch Koromandel Best Served Cold At Knytshall

Nine-year-old male who certainly does not know his age and appeared to enjoy every minute of his time in the ring. He possesses an excellent wedge-shaped head with a pleasing expression. Moderately arched neck flowing into a level topline, with a deep chest reaching close-fitting elbows and well-developed ribs. Correct high-set tail and moderately angled hindquarters complete the picture. A lovely, sound mover who continues to perform with enthusiasm and style.

1st: STRONG, Mrs L & Mr A & STRONG, Mr Alex Draccus I Have A Dream (a.i.)

Smart, compact female of pleasing breed type, possessing a super head complemented by dark, expressive eyes. Well-arched neck flowing into a level topline, giving her an attractive overall outline. She presents a balanced picture when standing and has much to admire. On the move, she was not able to match the movement of the CC and RCC winners on the day.

2nd: WALMSLEY, Mrs J L & FROST, Mr Rodney & FROST, Mrs Frostisen Blakk Zeta (ikc)

Lovely compact female of excellent breed type, presenting a super head with a pleasing expression. Good length of neck flowing into a level topline, with strong, well-developed hindquarters. She is well balanced throughout and displays many desirable breed characteristics. As she matures and settles on the move, she should reach her full potential.

1st: IRVINE, Mrs Kirsty Ann Ch Blackcombe Bodil At Tapui (Imp Aus)

Stunning 4-year-old female of exceptional quality and overall construction. She presents a very pretty head with clean, lean lines, just the right amount of stop, a good muzzle, and excellent pigmentation. Medium length, well-arched neck flowing into an outstanding front assembly. Her square outline is complemented by a compact, well-balanced body. Deep chest reaching close-fitting elbows, with well-sprung ribs carried back to a strong loin. Powerful, well-developed hindquarters with parallel hocks. On the move, she is truly breathtaking, covering the ground with effortless style and precision. Presented in superb coat and hard condition. A bitch of undeniable quality, earning the BCC and Best of Breed.

2nd: TAYLOR, Miss Ann-Marie & TAYLOR, Mr David & TAYLOR Ir Ch Frostisen Blakk Zitter

Another quality female who immediately caught the eye with her excellent outline and overall balance. I particularly admired her lovely head and expression, enhanced by dark eye colour and well-set ears. She has sufficient length of neck flowing into a firm, level topline, which she held at all times. Her pleasing front assembly is supported by good angulation and a deep chest, while her tail is correctly set and carried. A very worthy exhibit with much to admire, and a deserving recipient of the RBCC.

Super black female of excellent breed type, presenting clean lines and a lovely square outline. She possesses a pleasing wedge-shaped head and a balanced, feminine appearance. Moderate length of neck flowing into well-placed shoulders, with a firm, level topline completing an attractive profile. She moved soundly, maintaining her outline and balance on the move, making a very pleasing overall picture
