Best In Show

Rauhut’s Tibetan Terrier, Ti La Shu Hot N Spice. This bitch is so beautifully balanced and moves superbly. She was my BOB from a fabulous breed entry. Following this in the Utility Group, she was awarded Group 1 by Breed Specialist Mark James. Later she returned to the Best in Show ring where she gave a truly magnificent performance and therefore, I had no hesitation in awarding her BIS. Subsequently, she has now gained her UK Champion title. Congratulations.

RBIS – Robertson’s Jack Russell Terrier, Hunter Hawk Honour with Soletrader (Imp NOR). This appealing bitch built on clean lines really comes into her own on the move. Head with dark dare devil eyes, super quarters, good rib, strong loin, tail set high. Handled and presented in consummate fashion. Movement in profile was a joy to watch.

BPIS – Guvercin’s, Border Terrier, Glebeheath Fingers On Lips. Grizzle and Tan attractive bitch. Super in profile. Extremely pleasing head and finish – so feminine. Spanned well. Good for bone. Jacket and skin in A1 condition. Excellent tail setting. Moved with accuracy and precision.

RBPIS – Shahmatova’s, Border Collie, Nashdom La Vie Est Belle. Feminine puppy and screams quality. Super head with balanced ratios, tapered muzzle and great use of correct ears. Beautiful eyes. Great bone and feet. Well ribbed. Handled to perfection and moved very well.

BVIS - Betts’s Bearded Collie, Pipadene Ultimate Dream JW. Such a beautiful bitch, in fabulous coat and condition. Super eyes and pigment. She looked an absolute picture. I was told she is sitting on two CC’s I just hope that she is justly awarded another to attain her crown.
