1st: Felfree Miami Crockett (Allen), Exuberant youngster, whose handler got the best out of him. Very well presented in good coat and condition. Masculine head with keen expression. Nice reach of neck with good shoulder placement, length of body and well angulated hind quarters. Movement rather erratic but when settled covered the ground well, maintaining his top line on the move. BP

1st: Badgerbeck Tree Pipit at Tilmoray (Small), Blue and tan bitch that I have judged before. She has a lovely feminine head with kind expression. Good reach of neck and length of body. Presents a balanced outline with well angulated front and rear quarters. Easy to span. In very good double jacket with good thick pelt, rounded off by a correctly shaped tail. Movement today was much better than the last time I judged her – this time covering the ground well. Preferred the front assembly of 1st in open in the challenge.

1st: Penlumeg Pendant (Harris), Eye catching 3 year old red grizzle in very good form. Really lovely head and expression. Strong jaw with good teeth. Good reach of neck into very good front. Narrow bodylines with well angulated hind quarters which she used most effectively on the move, covering the ground with a long economical stride. Very well presented in very good deep double jacket. Looked more than capable of doing a days work. BOB
2nd: Timoray Tranquility (Small)
