    HUNT,POINT,RETRIEVE CLUB OF SCOTLAND-15th MARCH 2020

I thoroughly enjoyed my day judging at this warm and friendly show. Thanks to the officers and committee for inviting me and to my wonderful steward, Rebecca Deighton, who kept everything running smoothly and efficiently.

BEST IN SHOW

Knowles, Glen & Malcolm’s Bessalone World on Fire. (Italian Spinone) Just loved this bitch ! She has breed type in abundance. Square in outline, she possesses the most gorgeous head and expression. Strong bone and substance with deep chest and tight elbows. Powerful neck leading smoothly into well laid back shoulders. Good width and strength to hindquarters. All topped off with a very good coat of correct texture. Her movement was a joy to watch, covering the ground on a free and easy gait whilst maintaining the characteristic topline. I could have happily taken her home.
