TOTAL ENTRIES: 2,343
JUDGE: Gregg Merrill

BEST IN SHOW: *GCH* Seren Fach Fallen Angel
BREED: Bernese mountain Dog
HANDLER: Seren Fach Kennels
OWNER: Seren Fach Kennels
BREEDER: Seren Fach Kennels

Comments from the Judge: Congratulations on your breed win today, I picked this dog as my Best in Show winner. This female is very nice looking and has a great forward motion in her gait from her hind quarter and her forequarter is very nicely angulated and very correct in the foot placement. She has a little flare when she is in full stride moving forward. This female is slightly larger than most females I have judged but still in the breed standard and she is a little touch sensitive when feeling over the dog. Her coat is nice and soft, just a little rough but nothing that takes away from the picture of the dog in whole.

RESERVE BEST IN SHOW: Agamede Forge
BREED: Greyhound
HANDLER: Agamede
OWNER: Agamede
BREEDER: Agamede

Comments from the Judge: Congratulations on your breed win today, I chose this dog as my second pick today. This dog was very nice going around the ring a little fast from the owner but a very nice gait went around. As this dog places in the current top dogs to its breed, I chose this dog even if it is lacking in a few spots confirmation wise and temperament wise. This dog has a few flaws but as the breed is growing and coming back into focus as an established breed again this is one of the best dogs right now.

THIRD IN SHOW: CH Draig Surfer
BREED: Cardigan Welsh Corgi
HANDLER: Draig Cartref
OWNER: Draig Cartref
BREEDER: Draig Cartref

Comments from the Judge: Congratulations on your breed win today, I picked this dog as my number three today. He is a very nice looking dog, the short stubby legs as he moves around the ring show the power of this dog and what he was originally bred for. He has a very nicely shaped fore and hind quarter and when he is standing still he has a great freeze frame moment that allows you to take it all in.

FOURTH IN SHOW: CH Outrigger Gencho
BREED: Irish Water Spaniel
HANDLER: Outrigger
OWNER: Outrigger
BREEDER: Outrigger

Comments from the Judge: This dog was picked at number four today, this dog is very correct and has a lot of nice shining moments to this dog as a whole when in free stack. This dog does lack slightly in head carriage with the head being a little too high when the handler takes the dog around the ring, the forequarter is not very noticeable but a slight inward toe to the dog, the neck is also barely noticeable but a little pushed back in the neck, the coat is very nicely kept but a little short around the front feet, a little small for a male and touch sensitive when being felt over. Besides these little comments when looking at this dog today, I have chosen this male as a great example of the breed and what I am looking for in a sporting dog.

REMAINING GROUP WINNERS: From the Toy group we have CH Agamede Daybreak the Manchester Toy Terrier, from the Terrier group we have MNs A.Maxima the Miniature Bull Terrier and from the Non-Sporting group we have GCH Ztc. Juicy the French Bulldog.
