Judge – Mrs L Nesbitt
| There was a small but respectable entry of Clumbers for a Monday on the south coast. Whilst the lack of dog puppies was disappointing, the overall quality of the entry was good. All exhibits were cleanly presented and I was pleased to note that all had clean ears. Many thanks to the society for the invitation and hospitality, my helpful and friendly stewards, Malcolm and Hayley, and all who entered their dogs. | |

Well sprung ribs. Correct tailset. Well muscled quarters. Powered around the ring. Won the class on his overall balance. Had no hesitation in awarding DCC and BO | |
| 2nd | SH CH Wyclydo's Fast As The Wind At Glenariff (Imp Nld) - Cox, Reynolds & Crocker |
| Immaculately presented but a little heavy in coat for me. Attractive head and expression, strong boned and deep chest. Good spring of ribs and powerful quarters. Moved with drive. Just preferred the topline and tail carriage of 1 | |
| 3rd | Sh Ch Winhampton Over The Yardarm Of Harrifield JW - Thorogood |
| Very unfortunate to come up against 1 &2. Good head and clean eyes. Correct bite. Long neck and well-placed shoulders. Decent depth of chest. Well sprung ribs. Not as mature as 1 & 2. Moved well. | |

| 1st | Micklemess Just An Illusion - Page |
| Delightful 6 month old baby. Full of potential. Feminine head and expression with just a touch of naughtiness. Plenty of bone and decent quarters. Liked her overall balance and outline. Still very raw – but one to watch. Moved well when settled | |
| 2nd | Suelynda Devil In Disguise - Boden |
| At 11 months, she is more mature but at the in-between stage and didn’t have the balance of 1. Good head and reach of neck. Long back and pleasing angulation. Just needs time to fill her frame. Made her handler work hard but moved steadily. | |
| 3rd | Micklemess Just Looking - Crofts |
| Litter sister to 1 but not as advanced. A real baby who was enjoying herself. Liked her head and expression. Plenty of bone and good length of back. Moved ok when she decided to co-operate. Has all the essentials and should develop well with time. | |

| Very feminine bitch with a lovely profile. Loved her head and expression. Correct bite. Long neck flowing into well angulated shoulders. Deep chest. Long back with a level topline which she kept on the move. Beautifully presented. Pleased to award her BCC which I learned was her second. The third cannot be far away. | |

| pleasing 4 year old of a different type to 1. Plainer in head but with good eyes and soft expression. Good reach of neck. Deep chest and straight front. Well sprung ribs. Long back. Well angulated hindquarters. Economical, steady mover RCC | |

| 1st | Micklemess Bella Rosa - Croft |
| What a lovely bitch and in superb condition for 11 years old. Only the docked tail gave her age away. Feminine head, soft expression and clean eyes. Straight front. Neat feet. Deep ribs and good length of back. Strong hindquarters. Moved well. A real credit to her owner. Seriously considered for top honours. |
