Thank you to the Officers and committee for giving me my first BIS appointment.

It was a great honour to award BIS at this well run show.

BIS Marshall & Tankards Ch Stoneglad Jumpin Jack Flash at Verosa JW ShCm, Bullmastiff

I Chose this boy from a superb BIS lineup who all put on great performances.

This boy was a stallion of a dog who commanded the ring, Head of great proportions showing an all male expression, strong neck into well laid shoulders strongest of top lines standing on a very sound rear all this showed when he powered around the ring, front and rear were straight and true and steady powerful side gait, I couldn't walk past him he asked for the win and I couldn't deny him, congratulations and wish you all the best in his further career.

RBIS Grant & Murphys Afterglow Americano at Silvora, min poodle, what a little cracker small in size but big in personality and it oozed out of him, lovely well balanced head, good body proportions correct coat, and breath taking on the move pushed hard for the top spot I was spoilt having these two in my line up I understand he has 1 CC and 5 RCC I hope he gets made up he deserves it. 

BPIS Barlows Talanors Time for Magic, Manchester Terrier, I loved the super sharp outline on this little chap, always looking alert, well balanced head nice dark eye, well set ears giving that ultimate terrier expression, super front, excellent top line, sound coming, going and around a puppy with a great future ahead.

RBPIS Pantons Dunningvale Ferrari Spider, this little chap may have been the smallest but don't be fooled he had character a plenty ! Super head, dark eye, well angulated fore and aft

Coat of good texture and nice colour coming through, moved with attitude coming and going and on the last go around he strutted his stuff to ensure his place in the final 2.
