1st: 986 FIELDSEND, Mr Mrs Trevor & Angie Starwell Here Comes Solo.

 As the first dog i actually put my hands on in this breed i found him a hard act to follow . Just lost out on maturity for the BOB award . A very exciting young male who was the correct size , well balanced outline and moved so soundly in all directions . Puppy stage coat but what was there was so beautifully presented , good dept of colour and correct texture . Took the day in his stride and pulled off a very polished performance … loved him ! 

2nd: 982 ADKIN, Miss T L & PICKERING, Mr C M Bouvibear Rockefeller Gem

Quite the character and full of fun and lots of bounce . Difficult to assess correctly but pups should never be forced to preform . i would hope he come up on the leg

A nice style of young male of 10m , correct size and substance . Stands on good feet , enough dept of chest at this stage . His head is well balanced with excellent pigment .  Very sound on the move and well handled . Time to mature still very much a baby

He moved soundly in all directions  with correct tail set . Head is so well balanced with strong underjaw , teeth in excellent condition with scissor bite .  The young puppy pushed him hard but this lad fully mature .  Delighted to award him Best dog and BOB and look so well in the big ring well done

2nd: 991 SHERRIFF, Mrs Christina Bouvibear Catalina Emerald

1st and 2nd litter mates and same comments apply . Both difficult to assess correctly as they where attending first show . Moved a little erratic typical puppy excitement but both sound .  Need time to mature , and some ringcraft . Hope they both come up on leg but i feel they have time  .  Change of handler in the final challenge made a difference

Nice style of female , correct for size . Well balanced head , with correct eye and well placed  ears. A little erratic on the move and more time needs spent on presentation to complete the picture  and this cost for main award .  Res Best Bitch 

2nd: 993 SPICER, Mrs Tina Gosderiina Daffodil Dream

I felt this bitch was my winner , very typy bitch although not the biggest very correct in so many ways. Ultra sound in so many departments . in wonderful condition and so very sound on the move  . But to not let me handle her fully she paid the price and lost out on the main award which was a shame  .

Not so happy today with getting assessed so didn’t put all into her performance which was a shame . Nice style of bitch but i would just like a bit more personality .  Sound on the move and lovely presentation
