Belgian Shepherd Dog Association Of Great Britain

THE BELGIAN SHEPHERD DOG ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN Championship show 3rd August 2024

Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for giving me the honour of judging BIS, also Mary and Dyllis, my competent stewards and Margy and Jackie for sending such lovely dogs through. There was a great atmosphere and a good day was had by all. I awarded BIS to Symonds & Kear’s Ch. Xanova Black Sapphire of Lauraldean. A stunning Groenendael bitch of excellent size and good proportions. She has the most feminine head and expression, sound limbs and gracefully flows from head to tail. She was so light, free and even on the move. RBIS & BOSIS was the Tervueren Church’s Matylda’s Da Vinci At Invanse. Only 17 months old but strikingly handsome with his finely chiselled head, high set ears and well split mouth. His proud head carriage and overall shape makes him very eyecatching. I’m sure he has a wonderful future. BPIS was the Groenendael Bitch Mr & Mrs Lock’s Uniquely Revloch Des Perles Noires (Imp Fra) Lovely outgoing puppy with so much to like. She has a balanced head with dark almond shaped eyes. Shown in excellent coat and condition and has a lovely outline both standing and moving. Best Veteran was the Malinois Bitch Miss P Gaffey’s Ch Noya Sweet Vulcan (Bel.Imp) I don’t think I have ever judged a 10 year old so well muscled which reflected in her excellent movement. She still maintains her great presence and wonderful topline. A real showgirl. GROENENDAEL BABY PD (1, 0) 1.
