| A small but quality entry especially in the bitch classes. Many thanks to exhibitors for an enjoyable day. |
| Minor Puppy Dog | ||
| 1st | Quingshui The Legacy Begins | - smart, confident dog. Such a lot to like about him. Kind, intelligent expression. Pleasing head, good body, correct bone, good topline, correct coat for age, moved happily. Hopefully he won’t grow on. |
| 2nd | Essvana Lord Flash Heart at Lacoral | a very raw baby who moved happily and seemed to be enjoying his day. Super temperament. All the basics are there - just needs time to develop. |

| 2nd | Passernomen Boni Mores | a dog with a handsome head and pleasing expression. Difficult to assess - he needs more practice and training. Would prefer him on a smaller scale. |
| Junior Dog | ||
| 1st | Daltricia Kwakwali JW ShCM | excels in showmanship. Head carried correctly, good neck and shoulders, good tail set. Correct well-made body. Good bone. Confident mover. |
| 2nd | Sistasu Silver Top JW ShCM | , pleasing dog in many ways. I liked his expression, good eye shape and colour, correct topline and coat. Moved correctly. I would just prefer a better muzzle. |
| Yearling Dog | ||
| 1st | Middletune Wildest Charmer | masculine in head which is of correct shape. Good eye, correct muzzle. Good topline and tail set. A tad lethargic on the move. |
| Post Graduate Dog | ||
| 1st | Miracey Son of A Preacher Man for Matsha | a smart, easy moving dog. I liked his head, good eye, good muzzle. Good topline, all in proportion, ideally, I would like a bit more of him. |
| 2nd | Stubbina Herbert Pocket | solid dog in good hard condition. Not over confident but did enough. Good dark eye, well bodied, correct bone. Moved adequately. |
| Limit Dog | ||
| 1st | Daltricia Mondego JW ShCM | I liked this dog last time I judged and I haven’t changed my mind. Love his arrogant attitude and natural showmanship. His solid black colour makes him harder to assess but I found him well balanced all through. Excellent body, good topline and tailset. His head is carried correctly and is masculine without being overdone. Moved with style. CC |
| 2nd | Ch. Carlita Reason To Dream JW ShCM | another of lovely type. Pleasing head and expression. Correct eye shape. Well bodied, good topline and tailset. Moved with style. |
| Open Dog | ||
| 1st | Ch. Weatsom Margarets Legacy for Quingshui JW ShCM | another exhibit with that arrogant attitude that is so appealing. Super head with correct muzzle and well-shaped eye. Correct body, good topline, lovely tail carriage, steady mover. Quality all through, RCC |
| 2nd | Ch. Cremefern Sweet Talkin Guy JW ShCM VW | Shorter in body than my winner with everything in proportion. Pleasing head with masculine expression. Good coat of correct texture. Steady mover. |
| Minor Puppy Bitch | ||
| 1st | Minfaa La Cucaracha | full of mischief and determined to play the clown today. Pretty head, good eye, correct muzzle. Firm body, good topline, correct bone. Very erratic on the move but it will come with practice. |
| Puppy Bitch | ||
| 1st | Ch. Zeeva Reflections JW | headed a lovely quality class. Loved her overall deportment, held herself so proudly daring me not to give her first place! Pretty head with a lovely feminine expression. Correct neck, good topline and tailset. Well bodied, correct bone. Moved truly. An exciting prospect. BP |
| 2nd | Marpalyn Super Star | such a pretty girl, I loved her head which is set on a correct neck. Warm and mischievous eyes of correct shape. Ideal size, correct body, good topline, coat just right for age. Moved truly. |
| Junior Bitch | ||
| 1st | Peekin Miss Jazz Ming-Tu | another lady full of her own importance. Lovely dark eyes full of expression. Correctly shaped head. I liked her overall shape, correct bone and body. Could be a tad truer in front but she is very young still. |
