The rain, however, did not dampen spirits as a happy atmosphere prevailed around a crowded ringside. With 100 dogs making 133 entries judge Ann Falconer, looking very smart in a light coloured trouser suit, found her Best in Show in Stuart Plane's Champion Stuane Loch Guard. Receiving her crowning CC and Reserve Best in Show was John & Susan Gaskell's Mayson Zanadu. Best Puppy came from Minor Puppy Dog and was Gail Dixon's Chatterdale Diablo.
