Best Puppy. 2 Punter’s Welcumon Whiskey. Another nice baby. Good head, neck and topline. Not moving so well on the day. 3 Stoke’s Wellers Paddy.

LD 1 Punter’s Clipperdown Basil Welcumen. Well made dog with good topline kept on he move. Nice head and neck, good feet.

OD 1 Punter’s Ch Clipperdown Loganberry Welcumen. Well proportioned dog with a pleasing head, neck and good topline. Would have liked more drive on the move. Best of Breed. Maybe it was the wet ground, I felt that hind movement in most of the day’s dogs left something to be desired. Also, by the time they were judged, it had become rather cold, I would hope on a better day to see more power and drive from behind.

LB 1 Hunt’s Carpaccio Travelling Light. Res BB. Lovely bitch. Good type and some quality. Feminine head and expression. Good neck, length and topline.
