Special Yearling (1,0)

1. Miss Ruthforth - Charterwood Speciality Of Campionfield

Shapely T&W bitch just out of puppy, she presents a pleasing outline when standing and has a lovely overall stamp and size. Her head is appealing and well-proportioned, with a well-shaped eye and long ears that frame her face. She has a good length of neck leading to a firm topline and a well-set, well-carried tail. Her chest is down to the elbow with a visible forechest. Ribs are carried well back to moderate hindquarters. While she still needs to tighten a little on the out and back, she moves with a lovely side gait, showing drive and maintaining her outline.

2. Mrs Frawley - Littlethorn Ghost

This 2-year-old blue & white dog was certainly giving his handler a challenge, full of spirit and joie de vivre. I enjoyed our cuddle! Once settled, he displays a balanced outline with a pleasing flow from nose to tail. His head is well-proportioned, with a distinct stop and a dark eye that conveys a keen, alert expression. He has a good length of neck, a firm topline, and is well developed through the body. He moves with good head and tail carriage.

He has a masculine head with fair width to the back skull and a proportionate length of muzzle. His expressive dark brown eyes are keen and alert to everything around him. His neck is of good length, flowing into a firm topline. He is well developed through the body, with depth to the brisket and a pleasing spring of ribcage.

Veteran (2,0)

1. Miss Porter - Kirkwind Shooting Star

This 8-year-old dog has good overall body proportions, though he initially appeared a bit heavy due to his abundant coat. He has a nicely proportioned head with a dark, oval eye that exudes a gentle expression and clear adoration for his handler. There is good depth to his brisket and a pleasing spring to his ribcage. His hindquarters are well developed, with a well-bent stifle and broad thigh. He moves out cleanly both front and back.

2. Mrs Frawley - Littlethorn Interceptor

9-year-old B&W dog initially thought he would be my winner, but he wasn't cooperating on the move today. When standing, he presents a pleasing, athletic outline with an attractive head and a kind expression. He has a good length of neck with depth and spring to his ribcage. His topline was a little soft at times. He stands on well-boned limbs and tight feet but just wasn't showing himself off on the move. Well presented
