1.	Robinson's CORJON OTTY (Phillipp Aus Der Neuen Hauffstrasse / Corjon Gucci)
	6 months. Black & Gold well pigmented puppy of ery good type. Very attractive, feminine head with lively expression. Medium size, medium strength. Presenting a very pleasing picture in stance with high withers and firm over line leading into a well moulded croup, ideally I would like her a little more stretched. The upper arm should be longer and better angled. Sound throughout. Very good hindquarters with broad thighs, short, strong powerful hocks which she uses well to drive her gait forward presenting as pleasing a picture in movement as she does in stance.
2.	Shackleton's CEDARMARK NIKKI (Shotaan Fabius / Ch Cedarmark Jemma)
	8½ months. Black & Gold. Large puppy of very good type. Medium bone strength. Strong head. Good expression. Stands with pronounced withers and clean firm overline. The upper arm is long but could be better angled and the shoulder should be more laid back. Good hindquarters but would like a better turn of stifle. In movement the back remains firm with good reach and drive but at this stange of her development is raising slightly in the loin.
3.	Aldridge's EDSER ELVINA (Onyx vom Estherlager / Edser Seamist)
	7 months. Black & pale gold, medium size, medium strength. Correct proportions. Very good type. Normal withers, clean firm over line into a good croup. The upper arm is a little short and steep. Good hindquarters but would like a better turn of stifle. Sound coming but would like her a little firmer behind. Moves well with a firm over line but would like a little more drive to help elevate her withers.

	11 months. Black & gold puppy of top size and medium strength. Excellent type in excellent condition. Presents an excellent picture in stance. Correct proportions. Stands with high withers flowing into a clean firm one piece over line and well positioned croup. Very good length of upper arm which could be slightly better angled. Well angled lay of shoulder. Stands correct in front and rear. The general appearance is excellent. She has a happy disposition in the ring and performed superbly. Very good hindquarters. She walks with purpose retaining her lines at all times. At the extended gait she displays a powerful hind drive through a firm back and good fore reach exhibiting a spacious, well co-ordinated gait. I had no hesitation in making her my BEST PUPPY BITCH and with my co-judges approval BEST PUPPY IN SHOW.
2.	George's ROMAINVILLE DARLA (Phillipp Aus Der Neuen Hauffstrasse / Ch Montoya of Romainville)
	10 months. A beautiful puppy that impresses immediately with her type and excellent pigmentation. Rich black & gold she was in excellent condition. Correct size and strength. Very good head with strength yet retaining femininity. Excellent type in stance with normal withers and clean firm over line. Croup is a little short but does not detract from an overall pleasing outline picture. Strong broad thighs, very good turn of stifle. Stands and moves correct in front and aft. Very good forehand angles and excellent hindquarters. Walks and gaits very well retaining her outline at all speeds with very good drive and fore reach demonstrating a roomy, effective gait
3.	Bassett, Yates & Roxburgh KALBESHAN QUISQA GOLLYGOBBLE (Quantum Arminius / Kalbeshan Willa)
	10 months black & gold female. Medium size with just enough strength. Beautiful type but I would just like to see a little more of her. Very pleasing picture in stance. Expressive, feminine head. Pronounced wither, firm back line but the croup is a little short. Very well angled and good length of upper-arm, correct lay of shoulder. Stands correct in front but the pasterns are a little steep. Moves soundly away and coming with strong, short hocks. Excellent hindquarters, nice broad, strong thighs with good muscle tone. She walks beautifully with a lovely floating action. At the extended gait she uses her powerful hindquarters to maximum effect retaining her over line and presenting a pleasing picture with a very good far reaching fore-hand. Three very nice bitch puppies that all had their own excellent qualities to display in the ring today. A pleasure to judge.
4.	Robert's SILVERLEIGH QSHELLEY OF KOMODO (Quentin Karanberg / Silverleigh Niamh)

	JUNIOR BITCH (12 Entries)

1.	Barclay & Williamson's KORZWIN JILLI (James vom Turkenkopf / Ch Korzwin Yazzi)
	16 months. Black & gold female shown today in excellent condition. Very expressive and alert. Strong head with a good strong under jaw but is still undoubtedly feminine. Medium size with good strength of bone and substance. Excellent type. Correct proportions. Very good over and underline. Normal withers. Very good forehand which is well developed and excellent hind angles with very good turn of stifle and broad, powerful thighs. Sound throughout. She presents a very good picture in stance with a very good outline. Walks well, full of enthusiasm and very good ring presence but she comes into her own at the extended trot with a powerful, roomy gait which is balanced and well co-ordinated.
2.	Bridge, Loku & Zizzi's ASTANA DAYNA (Zeckel von Mauschpite / Fina von Langenbauten)
	16 months. Well presented female, black & gold in excellent condition. Very good general type. Medium size with medium strength. Very good height to length body proportions. Clean, firm overline. The croup is long but a little steep. Pronounced withers. Correct forehand angulation. Excellent, well angled hindquarters. Stands and moves soundly both ways. Walks with high withers and good drive. She displays a co-ordinated fluent gait with powerful hind-drive and good fore reach retaining her outline at all speeds.
3.	Farley's FLICKZENBURG CATALINA (Ch Nikonis Yago / Vonmeister Brea)
	15 months. Sable. Top size female of medium strength. Very good type. Very substantial. Slightly stretch proportions. Good head and expression. Normal withers, the back is a little long and could be firmer. Shown today a little too heavy and a definite lack of underline. The upper arm could be a little longer but the position of the shoulder is good. Normal withers. Good hindquarters. Sound throughout. Moves well with effective hind-drive and good fore-reach but the extra pounds were evident at the extended speeds making the back loose and spoiling the overall general picture.
4.	Minhinett's JAXSUNGATE BABITA (Rafaye Zorro of Jutone / Jutones Sibrina)
5.	Adamson, Jackson & Munkley's PETERWELL YOLANDE (Sailent vom Portaner / Peterwell Katja)
6.	Brookes KAMANTAS ARIELLA (Phillipp Aus Der Neuen hauffstrasse / Alexbria Whispa of Kamantas)

	SPECIAL YEARLING BITCH (10 Entries)

1.	Rambridge & Sygrove's TRAMELLA JENTA (Zamp vom Thermodos / Ch Tramella Tanni)
	20 months. Excellent, feminine type black & paling gold female. Over medium size, medium strength. Good head and lively expression. Impressed immediately with her beautiful outline. Very well proportioned. Excellent fore-hand assembly aided to maximum effect by her excellent hindquarters. Pronounced withers leading into a clean firm overline with a good lay of croup. Excellent underline. Absolutely sound throughout with very straight columns. Strong, short hocks coupled with strong, broad thighs. If she impresses in stance she certainly substantiates her qualities on the move. She walks with purpose and enthusiasm with excellent deportment. Extended she retains all her lines with a well co-ordinated, spacious and far-reaching gait. Her powerful hocks and thighs give maximum hind-drive and the forehand is so well positioned that she is excellently constructed to create the desired picture on the move. Her performance was faultless; she was relentless in all her tasks and presented herself with distinction it would have been a transgression not to have awarded her one of the top awards on the day. I was pleased to award this young female the RESERVE CC with every confidence that she will fulfil my confidence in her and eventually gain her title.
2.	Cooper & Ward's USHARRGO MALAN (Phillipp Aus Der Neuen Haufstrasse / Blezra Jenna von Usharrgo)
	20 months. Beautiful bitch of excellent pigmentation and full of quality. Black & gold in excellent condition. Over medium size, medium strong. Very good head, strong but retains femininity. Well presented, she has an excellent outline in stance. Normal withers with a clean, firm overline. The croup is well positioned but a little short. The upper arm is of good length but would like it a little better angled. Good lay and position of the shoulder blades. Excellent hindquarters with strong, broad thighs. Very sound throughout. She walks with good drive and retains her outline. Full of enthusiasm she never stopped working throughout the whole class giving a very credible account of herself. At the extended gait my only criticism is that when she is pushed to speeds outside of her comfort zone her hind drive is not as effective and that loses her the momentum to maintain the withers. At her ideal pace she has a very good outline with a spacious, co-ordinated gait.
3.	Barclay & Williamson's KORZWIN LINZI (Korzwin Vito / Korzwin Ankara)
	23½ months. Large, substantial black & gold female of very good type. Very good proportions. Strong but feminine head. Good expression. Very good ring presence. Good reach of neck into normal withers and clean firm overline. The croup is a little short and flat. The upper arm is long but could be slightly better angled. Good lay of shoulder. Good hindquarters-would prefer a little more turn of stifle to complete the picture. Moves a little wide fore and aft. She has a tendency to pull a little too hard which brings her chest and withers down spoiling the overline. When she settles she has a roomy, powerful gait with good drive and fore-reach.
4.	Farley's NIKONIS SHANA (Arko vom Butjenter Land / Nikonis Rena)
5.	Aldridge's EDSER ESTELLA (Belezra High Calibre of Edser / Edser Seamist)
6.	Bassett,Yates & Roxburgh's CATJA DELLA REAL FAVORITA (Naxos v Holtkamper See / Tabea v d Goldperle)

	POST GRADUATE BITCH (13 Entries)

1.	Caton & Bednall's LINDANVALE OLYMPIA (Quando von Vierhunder-Hertz / Lindanvale Atlanta)
	2 years. Over medium size. Substantial black & gold female of correct proportions and very good general type. Very pleasing outline in stance. Shown today in excellent condition. Good head and lively expression. Good withers. Dry and firm overline. Little short in the brisket. Very good angles for and aft. Strong middle piece with broad loin. Croup a little short. Strong, broad thighs. Short, strong hocks. Absolutely sound throughout with straight columns. Impressed immediately during the individual assessment and never faulted from an excellent performance during the whole class. She walks with purpose and enthusiasm using all her attributes to maximum effect. She extends well into the fast gait again with powerful drive transmitted well through her strong loin and back completed by a far reaching stride. Again as mentioned in the previous class when this female is run at sensible speeds she portrays a lovely picture maintaining all her lines, taken a fraction faster she loses her powerful hind-drive and can fall on the forehand. The key for future success is to present her at the correct speed to enhance her qualities.
2.	Hensley's ZUBERG LOTTI (Ch Lararth Houdini / Zuberg Deenika)
	4 years. Excellently pigmented black & gold female of top size and medium strength. Slightly stretched proportions. Shown in excellent coat condition. Good head and expression. Very good general appearance. Very good reach of neck leading into normal withers. The back is a little long and there is a slight nick behind the wither which detracts a little. Croup is of good length but a shade flat. Very good length of upper arm which could be better angled. Good lay of shoulder. Very good hindquarters, broad thighs. Sound throughout in stance and movement. She left herself with a lot of work to do after the individual assessment, however, as the class progressed she made up places on the walk with her committed performance and again during the extended gaiting phase where she displayed a far reaching, well co-ordinated gait and maintained her lines.
3.	Allerton's LORLEACH KANNA (Lindmark Lexus at Mascani / Mascani Bailey)
	2 years. Very good type in excellent condition. Black & gold female of medium size and sufficient bone strength. Normal withers. Very balanced. Very good hind angulation. The upper arm is long but steep. Well developed brisket. Firm overline, short croup. Clean front and firm hocks mean she is absolutely sound throughout. A somewhat eratic performance which cost her a place. She drives effectively from the hindquarters through a firm back with adequate fore-reach. As the class progressed her enthusiasm faded resulting in a lack of withers which cost her the second place she had earned after the individual.
4.	Pigott's GRANGEHEY KONNI (Ch Benny von der Rotten Mater / Grangehey Estra)
5.	Linnett's CONQUELL NEERA (Meik De Brunskilltal / Conquell Venus)

	LIMIT BITCH (12 Entries)

1.	Cox & Johnstone's DRUMWHANNAN KORA (Hutch vom Cohinor / Amulree Salome)
	2½ year old black & gold female in excellent coat and condition. Strong yet feminine head. Expressive and alert. Over medium size, substantial with good bone strength and excellent proportions. Impresses with her type and appearance. Excellent reach of neck into pronounced withers and dry, firm overline and well positioned croup. The upper arm is of good length but could be better angled. Very good underline. Excellent turn of stifle. Broad, strong thighs. Viewed from all angles she is sound in stance and movement. Everything fell into place for this female today, she was self confident and presented herself with an air of excellence. She made an immediate impact during her assessment. Her ring performance from start to finish was outstanding she was vigorous and vibrant throughout the walking segment maintaining her lines. With excellent firmness she exhibited a spacious, balanced and roomy gait with effective hind thrust and very good fore-reach which again was presented willingly and energetically. She was presented to perfection at the ideal pace to fully demonstrate her attributes and underlined her domination of this class. Today she was shown in absolutely outstanding condition, her coat was in full bloom, she was well muscle toned and in the peak of fitness. Once I’d judged her on the individual I knew it was going to take something special to beat her today, she was unfailing in all the tests and together with the already commented on excellent condition she was a worthy CC winner and eventual BEST OF BREED.
2.	Morgan's BELEZRA KELCI (Belezra Zapp / Vashika Xiska Del Belezra)
	4 years. Black & gold. Medium size with sufficient strength of bone. Very good type of slightly stretched proportions. Shown in very good condition. Feminine head, very expressive. She presents a very pleasing picture to the eye. She has very good angles fore and aft. Normal withers. The back is a little long but firm and one piece with no exaggerations. The croup is a little short. Excellent hindquarters. Strong, well muscled thighs. She is sound throughout. Walking is not her strongest point, she appears to become bored with the exercise and loses her posture. This cost her a place at one point. However, she fully redeemed herself when she demonstrated an effortless, fluent, ground covering gait which is her attribute. She moves at an enthusiastic pace with very good hind drive and displayed the best front reach of any female exhibit shown on the day.
3.	Martin & Robinson's GRAYCHELSEAS HISKA AT CORJON (Ch Nikonis Colin / Nikonis Xahna at Graychelseas)
	3 years. Over medium sized with strong bones. Substanial black & gold female. Very good type. Pronounced withers. Correct, firm back and good underline. Very good head and expression. Proportionally would like her slightly more stretched. A little stuffy in neck. The upper arm could be slightly better angled and longer. Excellent hindquarters, excellent turn of stifle and strong, broad thighs. Very strong, short hocks. Croup could be slightly longer. Sound throughout. She maintains a very good, clean overline with high withers at the walk and drives well with conviction. Was promoted over the second female during the walk for this reason. The extended pace is good displaying a well co-ordinated gait again with very good drive but would like more fore reach extension.
4.	Hutchinson's MASCANI CAPRICE (Immo von Mons Tabor / Mascani Eve)

	OPEN BITCH (12 Entries)

1.	Kirby's RAFAYE CORA AT DRAYCORE (Zamb Kahlenbergerland / Garbo Aika)
	3½ years. Correct sized, strong boned, substantial female. Black & gold. Strong, feminine head. Expressive. Good reach of neck into normal withers and very firm overline and a long, well positioned croup. Excellent fore-hand assembly. Would not want to see her any deeper in the brisket. Stands correct fore and aft but would like the pasterns firmer. Good hindquarters, straight firm hocks. Sound in stance and movement. For me I’d like her a little more stretched. She walks well maintaining withers and clean firm overline. At the extended gait she has a very good fore reach and good drive but a slight tendency to raise in the loin which detracts from an otherwise pleasing general appearance.
2.	Meaton's MOONWINDS FOXI (Cherry vom Bergmannshof / Salome vom Bierstadter Hof)
	4 years. Very good type black & gold balanced female. Correct size. Very good bone and substance. Good head and expression. Very good fore hand angles. Pronounced wither. Very good, clean firm overline. Very good underline. Croup is a little flat. Very good hindquarters. Sound throughout in stance and movement. Classical shape in stance of very good proportions. Walks with high withers, firm back and good drive. The extended gait is easy, she is aptly suited and well built for the task with very good drive and very good fore reach. She maintains a better wither than the first female, however, she lacked enthusiasm and conviction in her performance which cost her the class.
