Many thanks to my two efficient stewards who kept the proceedings running smoothly. On the day I was surprised to find 4 level mouths, although a level mouth is acceptable in the standard, a scissor bite is preferable. Some exhibits could have been shown in a fitter condition and have their long nails clipped.

a very nice puppy, maturing well. He has a good otter head with correct V shaped ears. He was presented in good condition with a correct textured coat. His outline is pleasing and responded to his handler well. Front movement needs to settle. BP
2nd - Tyneaster Special Agent (Mrs V Atkinson)
nice otter head with dark eyes and keen expression, good scissor bite. There was a lot to like about this puppy however to show these qualities off he does need some further ring training and a tidy up
