It was a great honour to be invited to judge Toy breeds, Group and BIS at this well run Premier Open show. A friendly, warm welcome from Committee and good to see many exhibitors stay to support the final awards after a long day. Many thanks to the Officers and Committee of Exeter and County CS for this invitation and to the exhibitors for the support. I had a lovely day!

From a very good line-up I chose for BIS the ETT, Ch. Witchstone Raindance Avec Richpin. Obviously liked him greatly having put him through the breed and Group (see breed report) but thought he went up a gear on the final run-off and had no hesitation in awarding him the top spot. Together with his handler they make a winning combination. He was also declared Best Champion of Champions In Show. Hot on his heels, for RBIS, I chose the Irish Wolfhound male, Baronglen The Nobleman. A truly super Hound for size, stature and presence. Solidly built with plenty of power, he is so well made and moved out very well. Told after judging he is sitting on 2 CCs, hope his title isn’t far away. Really impressed on the day.

For BPIS I chose the W/H Dachshund. Stanegate Stefan At Bystock. Just 6 months but an easy winner for me here. Loved his outline. Very balanced for one so young. Wouldn’t change him anywhere at this stage and think he will have a cracking future. Excellent coat and body. Super mover in all directions. Good luck with him. RBPIS an equally promising Alaskan Malamute, Snowshoes Fancy Ferrari. 10 months old and still a bit soft and loose as to be expected for her age but she is beautifully put together, excellent bone and body and in super coat. Lovely head with typical eye and expression. Looked the part and made a worthy runner-up.

BVIS was the eye-catching Newfoundland female, Wyrleybears Wendy For Bearhugs. In fabulous condition, this super girl has all the breed essentials with excellent bone and body and topped off with a thick, weatherproof coat. Really strode out around the ring, absolutely sound, great character and a credit to her owner. RBVIS Bichon, Magstarai Heart Of The Ocean. See breed report.

Best RBOB In Show. The veteran Finnish Lapphund, Ch. Pavoskas Aly Arttu. 8 year old male and a great favourite that I have judged in his younger days, now carries his title and good to see him here still in super form and condition. A masculine dog, nicely balanced outline, super wedge head and lively expression. Moved well and in good double coat.
