Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, 1st September 2012. Judge: Mr Brian Kerrush (Micklam).
Unfortunately, I derived little pleasure from this exercise, as the entry offered little quality in depth. I was presented with four bad mouths, many level toplines, poorly-constructed forehands resulting in wide front movement and the ever-present problem of close movement behind. When will breeders get down to sorting this out?

Puppy Dog | 1st: Marshall & Skitt's Deegandan DughallVery promising mustard baby enjoying his day. Best of heads, with good expression and deep, melting eyes, good length of neck on good shoulders. Correct topline and tail placement. Presented well, in good coat and moving without fault both ways. BP, DCC & BOB. | |
| 2nd: Hendrick's Etsill QuoydandyAnother promising mustard with much to like. Unlucky to meet the winner today, sharing many of his good features but not moving as well behind and lacking a little animation. | |
| 3rd: Jacka-Slater's Pennywave Lone Ranger | |
| Res: Milliner's Xenon z Roxburku Sun at Millerim | |
|

| 2nd: Bird's Birbrinda Scottish WaterAnother smart mustard with good head. Well-presented in good coat, just failing to the winner on hind action. | |
|
Limit Dog | 1st: Shore's Swanwillow Clarion CallUp to size mustard. Good head, melting expression, good length of neck leading to good shoulders. Nice length and topline, moved well both ways. Just lacking coat. | |

|
Open Dog | 1st: Eriksson's Int Ch. Scottsbairn Hugh Of RossVery masculine pepper and very much the type I like. Great head and expression, good length of neck leading to perfect shoulders and classic topline. Moved well both ways. A little too dark for some and perhaps a little high in leg, Res CC. | |
| 2nd: Kurg's Etsill Scapa FlowSmaller type than the winner, but very pleasing to look at. Smaller head with good expression, good conformation and topline, nice length of neck on good shoulders. Moved well in front but not behind. | |

| 2nd: Shore's Swanwillow She's HotMustard bitch with very nice head and expression but in need of a new jacket. I found her rather heavy in front and not moving as well as the winner. | |
