Thank you to the club and Committee for the hospitality, it was lovely to be amongst friendly dog folks for the day and to do Best In Show was a pleasure.
BEST IN SHOW Turner's Littlethorn Sapphire
The decision unfortunately was taken away with the dog, Large, Harlow & Broadhurst's Sh & Am Ch Avatar One Nite Standbayshore, going slightly lame on the move, but he holds so many qualities in head, build, shape, body and coat that he will be one to watch in future, so with the bitch on her toes, moving with the action required, she attracted in head and expression, body condition, muscled topline and rear quarters, she could do the job and was BIS.
RES BEST IN SHOW Forster-Cooper's Sheltysham Soft Breeze
Impresses with the balance and shape, pleases in head, neck, front and rear angles, moving to cover the ground.
BEST PUPPY IN SHOW Ferber's Rossbrook Chasing Shadows
Cracking youngster with good development in head and expression, body starting to mature and built in muscle, should have a good future with his pleasing action.
BEST VETERAN Large, Harlow, Baylis & Woods' Sh & Am Ch Borderfame I Am I Said
A well built and balanced performer with attractive and attentive head and ear set, good muscled body and condition, moving with the freedom of action required, lovely to go over.

DOGS ~ Judge Dave Weller
I was honoured to be asked to judge this show and found it a privilege to go over some quality dogs. I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for a very enjoyable day. Many thanks also to Jan & Keith for their expertise in stewarding.
A very pleasing entry of quality dogs, for my first time in awarding CCs in the breed. My general observation of the dogs present was fairly good fronts (I only found one out at elbow), good toplines and side gait. I was surprised to find light eyes, flared backskulls and some poor rear movement.
Minor Puppy Dog (4)
1st Ferber's Rossbrook Chasing Shadows
Very typy puppy, presented a pleasing outline. Being balanced throughout, nice head pattern, dark correct eye giving desired expression. Good reach of neck into well lay of shoulder. Nice front and width of chest, good turn of stifle and well let down hocks. Neat feet and strong pasterns, moved with ease. Best Puppy Dog, BPIS.
2nd Amos & Taylor's Minkynips So What for Cories (TAF)
Just 7 mths B/M. Lovely shape and size. Good head qualities, ample reach of neck and good front and rear angles. Moved well, head needs time to mature on.

Level topline into good bend of stifle and short hocks. Moved around the ring with effortless ease, hardly any front lift to go forward with good reach and drive from the rear. Head handled well but the eye was slightly bold and forward facing, spoiling the expression. Res CC.
