Class 4 - Judges Critique:

There were a lot of quality dogs in this class which bodes well for the future of the breed.

1st: Marion’s - Treebrook River Oak (Award of Excellence)

Is an absolutely beautiful clear fawn dog, magnificent head piece, dark eyes, correct, balanced body, beautiful bite. Of all the dogs I judged he is the one I would have most liked to have taken home with me. I think with time he should mature into a really outstanding dog and excel in the ring and as a sire.

2nd: Shaw’s - Boadicea Iron Duke (Award of Excellence)

A two tone fawn with a pretty head and expression, nice dark mask and ears, a little straighter front and rear than the first place dog.

3rd: Taylor’s - Lilacglen Dark Cosmos (Award of Excellence)

A dark brindle with a beautiful head and rich colouring. Somewhat straight front and rear. Nice feet. He was a lovely dog but the heat at the time he was being shown really handicapped him .

Class 4a - Judges critique:

The quality in this class was not as high as it was in the junior dog class.

1st: Bullmaster Knls’ - Bullmaster Black Magic (Award of Excellence)

A fawn brindle, she had a pleasing head and expression, would prefer a darker eye. Could use more angulation front and rear and more bone.

2nd: McLean’s - Boadicea Iron Maiden (Award of Excellence)

A two tone fawn. She had a pretty head but is high in rear and out in the front. Somewhat out of condition.

3rd: Abela’s - Aust. CH Powerbulmas Skye (Award of Excellence)

Another two toned fawn. Could use a stronger head. Her dark mask and ears compensates for this somewhat. She is straight in the shoulders and a little high in the rear and a little over angulated.
