Thanks to the show management and all involved with today's show. Thanks also to my two stewards: Karen Johnston & Rosey Lawrence and the secretary Alyson Carmichael.

Best in Show

Mr T Wall, Daliyhaa Master Craftsman ATCAZ23600IKC
Stunning Tri-Dog of good size and quality, good shoulder placement and well arched neck with a level back. Good turn of stifle has a clean head that is well balanced with almond shaped dark eye, ears on top. To sum up, a dog of quality shape, balance and movement. This dog must be handled to appreciate his quality, I was pleased to award him Best in Show and later learnt he has been made up to a champion this weekend.

Reserve Best in Show

Mr J & Mrs M McCarte, Roughrigg One of a Kind
Sable and White Bitch, another class bitch from this well-known kennel who has a lot of stardom in her appearance. Stands 4 square showing off her outline and good body construction. Well coated up and presented to perfection which makes this assessment easy. Appealing head with good set of ears which sit nicely on top. Never stopped showing for her handler and moved with purpose and responding well to her handler all the time.

Best Puppy in Show

Mr L Kelly, Ballahanna Betrayed
Sable and White dog, well matured for his age being one day of 12-month-old. Well- constructed with good outline, good shoulder placement and four legs, neck nicely arched. Well sprung ribs and deep chest. Sound dog while on the move and full of drive. Well coated up and well presented.

Best Veteran in Show

Mrs P M E J & J L & Mrs PM, Miss EJ & Miss JL Brooker, Telforth Sweet Dreams to Corisian JW
Well known Sable and White Bitch, still holding her own in veteran classes just short of her 12th birthday and looks nowhere near her age, she could still trouble the younger bitches in open classes. Standing, she has all the attributes of a rough collie and don't know how she never retained her title. I had always admired her, she still has all her teeth, and her movement couldn't be faulted showing non-stop and always responded to her handler. Presentation was a compliment to her owners. A well and worthy veteran winner.
