BEST IN SHOW

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday amongst hound people with lovely dogs. Everyone so friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with the SDA. Thank you so much for inviting me to judge BIS at your show. It was a great honour. BIS was Goddard’s, Ch. Minard Krystal Darque. Very stylish and elegant b/t m/l/h bitch 4 and a half years old of the highest quality. Needs no comment from me. She is truly a great ambassador for the breed. Her movement is something worth watching, flows, is not the right word, she seems to fly, effortless movement. Showing good front extension. and drive. In immaculate show condition. A lovely hound to go over. Perfectly handled. RBIS was Metcalfe’s, Ch. Metadale Macquarie. High quality Long just 3 years old. Beautifully made all through. In super condition. His red coat gleaming. Moving soundly, showing good extension. Very well handled. BPIS was Aligear’s, Ridgegrove Halle Berry. Delightful b/t m/l/h bitch 9 months old of royal breeding. The spitting image of her father at same age. Oozes quality, this breeder seems to bring out glorious puppies. So well handled and presented. RBPIS was Hunt’s, Carpaccio Black Sabbath. Most promising quality 9 month old b/t dog. Showing lovely outline. Movement true both ways. In immaculate condition. Presentation and handling of the very best.
