BEST IN SHOW

It was a pleasure to judge BIS at this long established show. BIS went to the Min l/h Angear's Ch. Ridgegrove Halle Berry. Excellent conformation, well balanced, top and underline correct, nice quarters, sound movement. This coupled with her superb outline gave her top spot. RBIS Blackburn's min wire Stargang Kasino Kween. Lovely head, well filled front, correct shoulder placement, firm body. Pleasing outline. Not quite the movement of the min long. BPIS The wirehaired Skinner's Ritterburg The Magician. Good all round conformation, correct wire jacket, level topline, sound quarters. Took a while to settle then moved confidently. RBP The smooth McNaughton's Cevadoch Born To Boogie. Stricking clear red. Nice head, good lay of shoulder, well ribbed, firm topline on the move and standing. Just needs to mature. BV Min long Williamson's Barkroyal Whispering Willo. 10 and a half years, certainly belies her age. Classic outline in excellent condition. Teeth sparkling clean, neat feet, well trimmed in lovely coat, well groomed, steady mover.
