Judge: Nora Price

Best in Show

It was an honour to be invited to judge at my Breed Championship Show. I thank the Committee for their wonderful hospitality and my co-judges for sending through such good dogs to judge. Close decisions all through. BIS: Dance`s Emem Candy Sunshine -a very smart Mini Wire bitch who was as one with her handler today. Balanced head into strong neck and shoulders. Neat front, strong body and loin, well angulated rear. Kept a good top and underline on the move using the large ring to full advantage. Good ground clearance. Such an exuberant temperament. RBIS: Vine`s Allfreys To Catch a Thief at Cishelvine -strong Wire dog who was a handful for his owner. Beautiful head and expression, well arched neck. Well-muscled body into a strong rear. Good bone and tight feet. BPIS: Vine`s Cishelvine Cazadokes -Wire bitch with a strong yet feminine head and the most mischievous almond eye (daughter of the RBIS). Well balanced throughout, neat shoulders and front, hard muscled body into well angulated rear. Moved true going, coming and in profile. Lovely size and harsh coat. RBPIS: Thorn-Andrews Drakesleat Scent Sybil-Min Wire bitch -a balanced puppy, well boned. Good length of ribbing, strong loin and good underline. Well angulated rear used to the full when moving. Tight feet. BVIS: North-Rows Ir.Ch Barmaud Jacob -Wire dog. Strong head and neck, well placed shoulders, muscled body, firm loin. Initially did not cooperate with handler moving but then decided to move out well the second time around showing good extension. Heavier type, harsh coat. RBVIS: Hayward's Ch Foxearth Foto Copy -Min bitch of good proportions, harshest of coats. Balanced head and gentle eye; neat shoulders into a well-muscled body. Good rear angulation.
