Puppy Dog	1st: Davies's Dandie Dream Call Me Winner Handsome boy, loved his body shape and length. Beautiful head and expression. Liked his coat and strong hindquarters. Moved out well. Tail carriage a little high.
	2nd: Butcher's Mishahda Mischief Managed Another promising boy, lovely length and good ribbing. Not quite the balanced head of 1 but a promising pup. Well presented. Should do well.
	3rd: Bell's Dryfevalley Griffin
Junior Dog	1st: Fox & Cox's MyDan'd Look What I Found at Puddockswell Very nice type and shape. Good size, beautiful coat which was very well groomed. Lovely topline, and balanced appealing head, big teeth. Liked him very much.
Postgraduate Dog	1st: Cox-Purcell & Miller's Puddockswell Jelly Roll Morton Stood alone, but what a lovely dog. Beautiful head and melting expression. Good front, nice jacket & strong rear end, good tail set. He was a little unsettled on the move on the day, but I’m sure with a few more shows under his belt he'll do well.
Limit Dog	1st: Webber's Lilyphanie Great Showman A lot to like about this winning young mustard. Well muscled, and in good shape, nicely balanced head, good eye & mouth, nicely presented, in good coat, moved well.
	2nd: Poole's Hawkesmill Merlon He is slightly heavier than 1, but isn’t too big. He has an attractive head, good front and rear angulation. Good coat, I liked this boy, but would have liked to have seen more energy on the move.
Open Dog	1st: France's Int Ch. Back To My Roots at Luna Caprese with Torbrae Well known winning dog and today was his day. A beautiful, well presented, well handled Dandie in good coat, good topline and tail carriage. Strong hindquarters, moved steadily in the longish grass. Didn't put a foot wrong . Well deserved DCC.
	2nd: Fox's Puddockswell Hoodwink This was a larger dog than 1, and of course, lacking 1s maturity, but what a lovely boy. I loved his overall type. Beautiful head & eye, big skull, strong neck. Excellent coat, He's quite an upstanding sort of dog who held his head up in the ring, looking around and wanting to be noticed. He needs his forechest to drop a little, but he moves well and I shall watch his progress with interest. RCC.

	2nd: Karlsen's Diddimont Ginny Wren at Karezig Another puppy of similar type. Nice length of body and good topline. Moved well, not quite the 'finish' of 1, but lovely temperament and should do well.
	3rd: Bell's Reidswire Lady Gaye
	Miller's Dryfevalley Velma Dinkley
Postgraduate Bitch	1st: McCain's Blue Violet Flower at Bankwillow What a little cracker. Very pretty and feminine Pepper with beautiful dark eye giving her a melting expression. Good front and nice moderate topline. Coat good and very well presented. Needs a little more muscle in her hindquarter to give more positive back movement.
	2nd: Cavanagh's Puddockswell My Darling Clementine cum Magellanica Pleasing outline, good neck and jacket. Preferred head and expression of 1. Nicely presented and responded well to her handler.
Limit Bitch	1st: Hume's Danchester's Could This Be Magic Very pretty, good head and eye, melting expression. Good coat, very well presented. Moved out well.
	2nd: Sleight's Danchester's Can You Hear Me Roar for Bonnybeck Such a pretty girl scores in head and eye, nice neck, coat and length of body, good topline and tail set. Would loved to have done more for her if she had moved today as I know she can.
	3rd: Roberts's Power Of Love De Cynoeole at Marbledale
Open Bitch	1st: France's Miss Sophie di Luna Caprese at Torbrae Such a beautiful bitch looking so good today. Classic, feminine head, lovely dark eye with melting expression, good teeth, plenty of skull, good neck, long body, good ribbing, with gently curved topline, and perfect tailset. Moved out confidently and never stopped showing. Well presented and handled. CC & BOB.
	2nd: Allenby's Wilmit Mildred Potter for Diddimont Another beautiful bitch, with lovely head and expression and good jacket.

	Saville's Ire Ch. Puddockswell Maudie Mack at Darcellie
Veteran Bitch	1st: Harcourt-Morris's Dainty Dandies Royal Dutch Emma for Lenacourt Neat little bitch, stood alone, but so pretty. Good coat. Attractive, balanced head with plenty of skull, good teeth, expressive eyes. Would ideally like her a little longer in body, and a little more of her, but she showed herself off so well and moved out keeping her topline and good tail carriage. Well presented and handled. Best veteran.
