Very close decision between two quality examples of the breed. She has a good length is neck into well laid e shoulders and fore quarters in general. Going depth and spring of rib. Liked her bend of stifle and hind quarters in general. Moved well, RBB, BVIB and went on to get 2nd in the Veteran group. 

2nd: 1288 STREVENS, Miss H Sh Ch Erikachen Conaire At Tollisty JW Sh.CM ShCEx
Slightly preferred this dogs head to the winner however on the whole I preferred the winners fore quarter and outline.

1st: 1281 ELKIN, Miss M L Tollelkin Dream Harbour JW
Good length of neck neatly sitting into well laid shoulders. Good depth of body and spring of rib. Hind quarters are well constructed with a good bend of stifle. Moved well just felt in the challenge he needed a little more maturity to challenge for higher honours. 

2nd: 1287 SALMON, Miss Jennifer Acadiabyrne Tibetan coral
Preferred his head to the winner but on the whole I felt the winner had better fore quarters and topline.

1st: 1290 STREVENS, Miss H Tollisty You Can't Decline
Well constructed dog who is balanced throughout with a good overall shape. Nice head and neck sitting into well laid shoulders. Good depth of body and good hind quarter angulation. On the whole I would like a little more of him all over. 

Class 563 OD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1280 ELKIN, Miss M L Ch Tollelkin Caife Americano SGWC ShCEX
A different decision between 2 dogs of different types but both of good merit. Slightly larger dog who has a good head, neck and shoulders. Loved his depth of body and overall shape. Good hind quarters with a good bend of stifle. Moved well with reach and drive, in super coat and condition BD. 

2nd: 1286 RYDER, Mrs Alison Arthundur Dream Come True
Slightly smaller dog but well constructed with a good head neck and shoulders. Just preferred the winners overall fore quarter construction. Good depth of body and well angulated hind quarters. In good coat and condition, moved well. RBD, BSBIB.

1st: 1292 TESTER, Miss Rachel Gingafing Go Your Own Way
Lovely puppy bitch but unfortunately today everytime I went to go over her she preferred to roll over onto her back. She is nicely angulated and moved well. 

Class 566 JB (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1283 KINDELL, Miss Katy & ANSTEAD, Mr Paul & ANSTEAD KI Eusanit Pride and Joy via Riverwatcher JW
Immature but well put together bitch with good angulation in both her fore and hind quarters. Feminine head of good type with a good length of neck. Liked her depth of body, just needs time to finish developing to finish the picture. 

2nd: 1274 BURCHELL, Mrs Yvonne & BURCHELL, Mr Nick Oryxes Kissing the Waves on Tivalake (Imp Can)
Had the edge maturity wise with good depth of body and spring of rib but I preferred the overall outline and movement of the winner today.

1st: 1273 ANSTEAD, Miss Deborah Sh Ch Riverwatcher Koda
Liked this bitches overall shape, balance and substance as soon as she came into the ring. Loved her head, neck, shoulders and fore quarters in general. Super depth and spring of rib. Hind quarters are well angulated with a good bend of stifle which is used to good effect as she moved with good reach and drive. In great coat and condition. BB, BOB and I was thrilled to hear that she had been shortlisted in the Gundog Group. 

2nd: 1275 BURCHELL, Mrs Yvonne & BURCHELL, Mr Nick Tivalake Temptation
Slightly smaller bitch but still a quality example of the breed. Nice type of head but I would like a little more neck. Nicely angulated in both her fore and hind quarters. With a good depth of body. Moved well.
