I would like to thank the SKC for the opportunity to judge and thank all who gave me an entry. The quality was high and I was delighted when group placings and shortlisting followed for my BOB Standard Longhaired, Puppy Miniature Smooth-haired and Puppy Standard Longhaired. Coat conditions and presentation were excellent and I would like to thank the exhibitors for graciously accepting my placings on the day and for their sportsmanship. 

PD (1) 1 Paskin's Cedavoch It's Taboo At Kindeace. Correctly constructed pup, nice head and eye, correct front assembly, strong topline, correctly constructed hindquarters which he used with good drive, should have a promising future.

JD (1) 1 Hutton's Abbilis Theoden By Dachalune. Another well constructed junior exhibit with super head, lovely front movement and back movement, overall a pleasing picture.

What a fabulous young bitch, so elegant and striking, so well put together correctly constructed front and hindquarters, good topline, moved faultlessly.
