Junior (4) (3a)
1st  Tritton's MARSHCOURT TIME GOES BY OF AILINGTON.  Just out of puppy, feminine bitch of pleasing size, developing nicely, quality coat well presented, put all in to showing for one so young.  Handler needs to relax and enjoy her, she does all that is asked.  RBB

Post Graduate (3) (1a)
1st  Bamsey's JACMIRE MY GIRL.  Lovely bitch in good condition, looked very promising standing, sadly she didn't like the conditions underfoot and lost her topline on the move.  Her owner are to be congratulated on their progress with trimming and handling.
2nd  Stirling & Williamson's INCHICORE COPPER COIN.  Bigger bitch well presented but carrying too much weight at present.

Open Dog (3) (2a)
1st  Kirch & Gruttner's MYLORD VON DER EMSMÜHLE.  A real showman this dog, combining elegance with raciness and substance.  Balanced head, small eye giving good expression, grand forelegs, short strong pasterns into sound feet,beautiful body, correct loin and topline, well muscled quarters, good tail, quality jacket trimmed to its best.  Very fit and on his toes throughout.  BD & BIS

Open Bitch (4) (1a)
1st  Jackson's MONTELLE CELTIC STAR.  A very pleasing bitch of great quality.  Nicely balanced head and ear carriage, lovely front assembly into well developed body, loin and hindquarters.  Good limbs and strong pasterns.  A beautifully presented free moving exhibit.  Not quite the coat quality or showmanship of the dog today.  BB & RBIS
