Postgraduate Dog 1st: Webber's Lilyphanie Great Showman
18 mth mustard dog with lots to like. As you would expect he is far from maturity but was good to go over and is well made all through. Muscular neck of good length to balance, long body with ribs carried well back, pretty good topline, firm loin and tail of good set and carriage. Attractive head and expression with good breadth of skull, correct proportions, large eyes of good colour and set low down in the skull, ears set on low, strong muzzle and correct dentition. Well made both front and rear with forelegs set wide apart and firm, muscular rear with well let down hocks. Moving freely with good drive from the rear and carrying himself well. Best Dog & BOB.

Open Bitch 1st: Sheppard's Ch. Dentgate Sugarberries at Thystine
2 yr old pepper bitch. Feminine girl who appealed for overall type and balance. She scored in outline with muscular neck, characteristic topline, excellent ribbing, muscular loin and tail good for both set and carriage. Quality head with broad skull, correct skull to muzzle proportions, well domed forehead, eyes of good colour set wide apart and low down in the skull, ears set on low, strong muzzle and correct scissor bite. Not quite the front extension of the young male and could have been a little more enthusiastic on the move to advantage. Best Bitch.
