First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Sarah Dandy
I was delighted with both my dog and bitch line ups, from a numerically strong entry of 181 dogs all were worthy winners, from very well contended classes, with several really promising youngsters. Temperaments were uniformly sound which is of great importance in any breed
Strong class, with depth of quality
Outstanding blue and tan caught my eye the minute she entered the ring with her style and ring presence. Looked a picture standing and did not disappoint on the move, demonstrating free and easy movement with accurate tracking and a ground covering stride. Really good to go over and presented immaculately in a fit, honed condition. Has a classic feminine head with super reach of neck into an excellent topline and tailset, held so well on the move. Lovely narrow body with good ribbing, everything flows on this bitch with well matched soundly constructed quarters and good legs and feet to finish the picture. Plenty of power on the move using her racy but strong backend to great effect. In sparkling form, presented in good coat and condition BCC.
