Thank you to the following judges for their lovely comments

Pat Kirwan
Black and Silver with good head and expression. Excellent reach of neck, overall well balanced quarters, moved well.

Sylvia Evans
Rangy b/silver, good in profile but still riding high on his rear end giving the impression of being up on his toes, not the bend of stifle of 1. Good front  & shoulder angulation, deep chest, refined in head proportions, dark eye, excellent head carriage & attitude, if somewhat noisy! Very much his father's son, steady stylish gait for a baby but needs to tighten up all through & felt 1 more positive in front action at this stage.

Claire Hindley
Mature b/cr puppy dog, most beautiful head & expression, moved with great reach & drive to win this class of lovely puppies. Very vocal!

Mrs M B Thompson
Impressive b/s of great style, good head & eye, well laid shoulder & long neck, good body, well off for bone & substance, obviously a difficult coat but he comes into his own on the move, long free-striding action with good reach & drive.

Claire Robinson
1 & 2 were very hard to split, both have a lot to like about & I'm sure have promising futures, could change places on another day.

Roy Metcalfe
Black and silver. Excellent shape. Quality outline. Well angulated, strong quarters. Free sound movement. Pleasing head and eye. Would like a little more leg. Presented to perfection.

Sue Virgo
Bl/Sil unlucky to meet 1. Another quality young dog, the best of heads and eye, long neck, correct front assembly, deep chest, well boned, balanced outline, moved well but not the scope of 1.

Dagmar Kenis-Pordham
Black and cream dog with a lovely outline and very well balanced overall. Lovely head and eye, very good neck and shoulder, good return of upper arm, excellent topline & croup. Correct and free in action. Altogether a most promising young dog of no exaggeration; very taken with him.
