3. Rachel Hudder. She worked really hard with the Australian Shepherd Dog. Good bond and relationship. Showing well and moved with some style to make this a close contest.

 1. Stephanie Lansdell. Qulaity handler with great style and conection with the dog. Works well standing and moving. She has developed excellent skills and has the capability to find the right pace and blend with the Siberian Husky.

2. Rosanna Lee. Close up with good reactions to the dog. I liked her skills in control on the move. She had the Shetland Sheepdog groomed to perfection and well presented on the table.

3. Danielle Jones. Another who I would have happily let handle my own dogs, she gives the empathy, time and control to show the dog. A groenendael to the hight of expectation both standing and on the move.

2. Rebecca Rowe. Worked hard with the Wire Haired Dachshund to present the best picture she could standing. Achieved good skills in moving with a nice action in harmony with the dog.

3. India Hewett-Smith. This young lady did well to maintain a good rapport with the Border Terrier, setting a nice pace on the move and keeping contrail of this lively one.

12-16 years (12)

1. Helen Rishworth. Such a close decision here in the competition between these two. The handler of the Italian Greyhound just taking it with her good skills on the table and floor. She has a good overall empathy with the dog, but just managed to show me a slightly better balance with her dog on the move.

2. Kara Lawson. Great skills and presentation of the Coton de Tulear. She had the dog so well turned out and shown on the table. Kept the style on most of the movement but came back well after dog slowed up.

3. Niel Leiper. Lovely control of the exciting Afghan. He worked hard to stand and move the dog showing me the right presentation of the dog at the right time.

17-24 years (2)

1. Naomi Jessica Maroney. Although on her own she has developed a super balance and harmony with her Chinese Crested. Good well set table presentation and top skills to move the dog at a good pace. Just right for me to observe the correct movement.

DAY 3 8-11years (7)

1. India Hewit-Smith. This young lady worked hard to keep the GSP in the right position and used her skills to move the dog with an easy action. She knew the breed and what they were used for. Well done.

2. Laura Holyneux-McClark. Handled and moved the Tobetan Terrier with a good sympathetic style. I liked her balance on the move keeping the dog on its toes and moving with her round the ring.

3. Lily Warren. Worked hard with the Shar Pei to give a nice presentation. Kept the right balance and action on the move. Can develope with more experience.

12-16 years (12)

1. Nicola Sturrock. Bery striking and balanced in all she did to show this Irish Setter to give me the best view from any angle. Well presented standing and in total harmony on the move. She knew the dog and of how is should be shown.

2. Heather Rose. Gave the winner a close battle with her GWP. Well stakced on the presentation. Good balance and worked with the dog. She moved with the right pace and blended well with the dog on the move.

3. Amy Baln. She got the Weimaraner going well. Handling with the kind of anthority needed to give me the best view standing. She also kept the dog going well on the move covering the ground with good reach and drive.

17-24 years (8)

1. Hayley Knowles. Top class and stylish handling of this Pointer here. Well presented standing. Answering the right questions and anything asked of her and the dog on the move. She knows what she wants from the dog giving the overall impression that its only the dog you see. Not the handler.

2. Claire Cooper. She was very profesional in her skills with the Tibetan Terrier. Working hard at the presentation and keeping the movement balanced and in harmony with her as the handler. Well done.

3. Rachel Buckwell. Another out of the top draw with well developed handling skills and she had the Welsh Springer so well presented standing. Kept the balance neededon the move and was always showing the right attitude to the dog and judge.
