BEST IN SHOW

I thank the officers and committee for giving me the honour of judging the top awards at this well run show. Along with everyone present, I was so sorry that Jack Boulger was not able to be present at this, his club and show. We missed you Jack and send out good wishes. The three breed judges sent forward some some quailty exhibits which made my job most enjoyable. BIS the Long, Goddard's Ch Minard Krystal Darque. A super bitch who showed herself off to perfection. Lovely head and expression. Good neck, front and body with nice underline and well angulated quarters. Excellent free flowing movement, retaining her topline. She looked a picture. Res BIS the Smooth, Callow's Garthorne Highlight. Was very taken with this smart red bitch. Sweet head and expression with the darkest of eyes. Nice front, feet and shoulders. Well made body and quarters. Moved soundly retaining her topline. BPIS the Wire Wood's Wildstar Webster. A super puppy who should have a bright future. Lovely masculine head and expression. Good length of neck, front and shoulders. Well made body with well rounded quarters. Moved soundly both ways. Res BP, the Smooth, Punter's Welcumen Mr Cool. Another pup with a bright future. Nice head and expression. Deep chest and well made body and quarters. Moved well both ways. BVIS the Long, Graham's Ch Jadag Bjorn Veeta, Have long admired this dog and was delighted to have the chance to go over him. At 9 years he is still a super little dog with an air of arrogance. Lovely head and expression. Good front, neck with well made body and quarters. Moved well round the ring retaining his outline. A credit to his breeder/owner.
