1st WEBB & CHRYSTAL’S CH/IR CH DALLEAF DEVIL IN DISGUISE AT JEMBLEWOOD I’ve had the honour of judging this dog previously but this was some time ago, I just can’t believe he is now a veteran especially the way he moved around the ring, not exaggerated in anyway, I was pleased to award him the RCC along with Best Veteran In Breed.
2nd BEERES’S INT/NL/BE/DE/LUX/DK/FR CH ANMADEKE'S ALL OVER THE WORLD [ATC AR01448NLD] Black spotted male of correct height, in lovely condition and showed to his best advantage unfortunately missed out on first position due to his rear movement.
3rd HARTLEY & GRIFFITH’S CH CREAGANBREC THE FAVOURITE AT MIRAGUA JW Another dog that I have previously judged and he has many qualities but unfortunately I felt that he is starting to show his age.

1st TODHUNTER & ROBINSON’S MILLBELLE ROCKY MOUNTAIN I have admired this puppy from the ringside and he didn’t disappoint, nine months old and definitely has a very promising future. Lovely make and shape, well bodied with plenty of bone, moved very steadily around the ring, I was pleased to award him Best Puppy In Breed.

2nd MILLINGTON’S CAPEARLLA PURE DIAMONDS Slightly older black spotted puppy – 10 months old, has a lot to offer but today he decided to play his handler up and wasn’t as steady as the first.
