This was Denis's first appointment, and he was delighted with an entry of 12 dogs - 4 in each class. His critique of the main winners is below.

16 Months old Tri dog, with plenty of ring presence. Nice deep chest, elegant neck holding a correctly shaped head, and beautifully presented. Moved very well in a small ring.

Very striking sable bitch, just 6 months old. Nicely presented with a good coat and sweet expression. Inexperience in the ring meant she didn't show quite so well as my first place. Definitely one to watch for the future! Best Puppy, and went on to gain Puppy Group 2.

This owner always presents her dogs superbly, and this one was a brilliant example of how it should be done. Nice sweet head, ears correct, good strong legs, and moved well.

A dog I've admired since I first saw him, and couldn't wait to get my hands on - and I was not disappointed. This young man commanded the ring with his noble stature. His coat, expression, bone structure and presentation were all spot on, and he glided effortlessly round the ring. A very worthy BOB.

Yet again, superbly presented by the owner. This bitch knows how to show. She has a beautifully defined head and carries it well. Coat in superb condition, and a good, deep, chest. Nicely muscled rear quarters gave her an elegant look when moving round the ring. Unlucky on the day to come up against my first choice!

Denis would like to thank the committee of the society for offering him this opportunity, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
