BIS was the Junior Mini Wire bitch, Drakesleat Scent Sybil. Stood away here for breed type. Beautifl to go over with super head and expression. Good neck, clean shoulders. Excellent front, topline and quarters. Looked good from all angles with lovely temperament and sound movement. Should have a rosie future. RBIS was the Veteran Std Long Haired dog, Ch. Abydachs Oh What a Night. Looking so well and in hard condition. Loved his head, expression and long leathers. When stacked he was totally balanced and kept his outline on the move which was true and sound which won him this placing. BPIS was the very pleasing Mini Long, Dinkidax Just Incredable. Very pleasing to handle on the table. Lovely head and dark expressive eye. Has lots of confidence for a youngster which I liked and she kept a good outline on the move to take the award. RBPIS was the quality Std Wire, Amblesque Figans. Super temperment. Loved her head and expression. Very good bone and feet. Looked well stacked. Well balanced throughout and excelled on the move.
