1. Ferguson’s Mellowdee Soul Man with Lexalby JW. Well presented male of 2½ years, not the biggest boy but he had a lovely outline and many appealing virtues, good breadth of skull and defined stop with strong muzzle and dark eyes, well set ears, straight forelegs, could have a little more forechest but he was well let down in chest and had a good spring of rib, in excellent coat and condition, he moved out with a steady easy stride.
2. Forbes’ Aberdream Yours Only George. Upstanding male of 2½ years where I preferred the overall proportions and size of the class winner, good breadth in skull with dark eyes and strong muzzle, well set ears, decent length of neck, another who could have a little more forechest but he had good depth and well sprung ribs, a little close in his rear moving away, presentation could be improved to advantage.

1. Mills’ Ch. Kerjalee Evan Sent. Really liked the outline and proportions on this 2½ year old quality male, he had good breadth to his skull with charming dark eyes, he was full of breed type and masculine, he had lovely strength in his muzzle and had well set ears, good length to his neck leading into a super front assembly, liked his depth of chest and shape of rib which was well sprung and he had a lovely gentle rise over his loin, he was well muscled and parallel in the rear with low set hocks and good bend of stifle, he moved out well in all directions and was presented in immaculate coat of harsh texture, delighted to award him the DCC & ultimately BOB.
2. Mann’s Ch. Blairdon The Water of Life for Flufebustles. Another lovely male of 4 years who has matured well, he has lots of breed type and many lovely breed attributes, broad masculine head with masculine expression, balanced in his angulation front and rear with good depth to his chest and good spring of rib, today he was a little unsettled on the move and tended to move a little closely going away in the rear, presented in a beautiful jacket of excellent quality.

1. Grundy’s Amblalong Oak. Male of 19 months with masculine head and expression, one blue eye and one dark eye gave him an enchanting expression although his eye rims could be a little more pigmented, broad head with well set ears, good depth of chest and spring of rib, could have more rise over loin but he moved out ok with a steady stride, a little more attention to coat and condition would improve his overall picture, BSpB.

1. Howsam/Huggan’s Jandoes Got To Be Rosie. Promising young lady of 11½ months who I really liked for her outline, proportions and ultra femininity, lovely head and expression with a broad skull and well set ears, she was strong in muzzle with good underjaw, excellent length of neck into a pleasing front assembly, I liked her squareness and gentle rise over the loin, a little excitable when she initially moved but when she settled she showed extension and drive, presented in super coat and condition and was considered for higher honours, she has a promising future I am sure, BP.
2. Bell’s Soulbobs Northern Soul Girl. Another puppy who I thought was also promising at the tender age of 8 months, she just needs to settle into her movement which will come with maturity, she was confident and full of herself which I loved, feminine head and a lovely kind expression, she already has good depth to her chest with well sprung rib, she presented a lovely square shape and was impeccably presented, certainly a bright future lies ahead for this lovely young girl.
3. Palmer’s Hazyland Girl of Ice and Fire.

1. Mann’s Krisendaw Kassia for Flufebustles. 2 year old bitch who presented a decent outline stacked, feminine head with expressive eyes, broad skull, good depth to her chest and well ribbed, overall I would like better proportions to her, she had a good coat of harsh texture and was in well muscled condition, showed some sound movement in profile, just tended to ‘crab’ in her rear when going away.

1. Mills’ Kerjalee All About Me. A really lovely bitch who stood and moved so well today, I now see she is the litter sister to my DCC and has many of the same attributes albeit in a feminine form, loved her feminine expressive head with dark melting eyes, strong muzzle and well set ears, she had a good length of neck leading into a pleasing front assembly, straight forelegs and good depth of chest, she stood four square and looked a picture standing and moving, lovely breed type and presented in an amazing coat, she had good extension and drove well from her rear, I believe this BCC was her 2nd, I wish her well and hope her crown isn’t too far away.
2. Sweet/Doran’s Makaylen Cu Caol Ila JW. Well presented bitch of 2½ years who was also a pleasing picture standing and moving, slightly preferred the overall proportions of 1, she had a lovely feminine head and expression, good length to her neck and a nicely placed shoulder, good depth of chest with well sprung rib, she moved out well with a steady stride covering the ground, lovely coat of harsh texture.
3. McIntosh’s Blairdon A Wee Deoch An Doris.
