In the Beardie Classes: Gracie won 2nd place in the Special Puppy Bitch class with 18 puppies entered

Dublin (Caldermist Winter Legacy) also won 2nd place in the Mid Limit Dog class with an entry of 23 dogs

Here is what the judge, Mr Bob Manning said about him in his critique ...

" another beautifully balanced boy who really looks lovely standing. Most attractive head with good eye colour that lends to a wonderful expression. Good dentition with strong muzzle, broad flat skull. Nicely angled fore and aft with hocks well let down. Good depth of chest and correctly shaped ribcage. Especially pleased with true driving action and an ever present topline. Moving in complete harmony with his handler"

In the Podengo Classes: Pablo was placed 1st in the K.C. Good Citizen Dog Class and 3rd in Open Dog class

This is what the judge Mr. Simon Parson's had to say about him ...

" Eyecatching quality dog, not yet fully mature. Excellent ear carriage. Makes a well balanced picture standing. Happy showman"

Dina was placed 1st in the K.C.Good Citizen Bitch Class and 3rd in Open Bitch Class

This is judge, Mr. Simon Parsons critique of her ...

" Loved her as a puppy and she still appeals a great deal for her feminine quality and unfailing showmanship. Super head and expression, good topline and tail carriage. Moved smartly" "...another ambassador for the breed with her delightful nature".
