My thanks to the committee for their invitation to judge and for their kind hospitality.

 Dare`s Long haired Ch Swansford Nigelladora Darsoms took BIS; such an elegant girl shown in immaculate condition; correct head into strong neck and tight shoulders; well bodied with correct ribbing to loin; strong rear used to full advantage on this floor; tight feet and so well boned. Movement so sound.

Reserve BIS, close up, Hunt`s Mini Smooth Carpaccio Cassablanca; again shown in superb condition. I judged him as a puppy and he is fulfilling his promise. Beautiful  dark almond eye set well; good head and neck; well placed shoulders; muscled body with good ribbing; well angulated rear; lovely tight feet. Moved out well.

Both dogs were as one with their handlers .

The puppy line up was also impressive

All of these puppies were a credit to their owners and all enjoyed themselves.

BPIS went to the extrovert Flower& Smith`s Bingo Bongo Short and Sweet; how she moved round this ring with strong drive and good forward reach. Prettiest of heads; strong neck into well placed shoulders; well bodied with good ribbing. An excellent wire coat –well presented.

RBPIS went to an equally extrovert Wire; Sorenson`s Tendrow Time After Time; balanced masculine head; strong neck , good shoulders; well muscled body for his age; well angulated rear. Moved soundly –well handled handful.

 Four super veterans who all enjoyed their day.

Best Veteran- McCalmont`s Wire Ch Silvae Mystic –nearly 10 years of age and still full of mischief. Pleasing head; strong wire coat and body; well angulated and moved out well. Obviously loved the show ring.
