BIS 

Thank you to the Society and to my lovely hardworking stewards. 

In a lovely line-up of group winners, from which I also considered the super Cocker, BIS was the Samoyed, Blossomrain Moonlight Song of Dynar, I really fell for the charms of this mature cream bitch, beautiful smiling expression, so well made and the soundest of movers with plenty of drive going away and covering lots of ground in profile, plenty of coat without being overdone; looked every bit as if she could do the job she was bred for and chock full of Samoyed character; RBIS the Alaskan Malamute, Snowshoes King’s Legacy ShCM, imposing, athletic masculine dog in super fit condition giving excellent reach and drive, super head and expression, sound out and back, all quality; BPIS was the Shih Tzu, Dylan Blekitny Kanion (IMP), w/b, a most appealing youngster with typical expression and lots of breed character, free active mover, plenty of ‘look at me’ attitude, in harmony with his handler and showing very well at the end of a long day; RBPIS the NSDTR, Melanitta Palmata, handsome young male with a well-balanced head, matching angles front and rear, very sound and typy, covering ground well on the move with clean footfall, most promising; BVIS the Cesky Terrier, Komidion Nickolodeon avec Dajaces ShCM, a real laster at 9, absolutely no sign of his veteran status, really typy and sound and full of activity, presented to perfection, also won the terrier group; RBVIS the BSD (Terveuren) Delator Dionysus at Tolnedra ShCM, what a lovely chap, in superb shape for any age let alone 12, cracking head, typical outline, moved really soundly and freely and in superb coat; Best RBOB in Show, the Ibizan Hound, Afilador Room on the Broom ShCM, quite beautiful head on this girl, oozes breed type, a slow maturer who is just coming to her best at 3. Correct angulation, light free action, a real look of quality about her.
