My thanks to the lovely committee for inviting me back to judge their show. The whole gang pulled together in quite difficult circumstances to pull off an excellent show. Thanks also to the exhibitors of a few classes and breeds who sportingly accepted me as replacement judge. My line ups for Best in Show, Best Puppy and Best Veteran were terrific, I was truly spoiled for choice.

For BIS I chose the delightful Saluki Layton-Smith’s CH Velourias Dee Dee Vine. She was in excellent condition, graceful and dignified as she moved effortlessly with a typical light action. Correct conical head, almond shaped eye. Clean front with well-developed chest. Well ribbed. Level back, with strong and slightly arched loin. Good angulation front and rear. RBIS was Mackie, England & Briggs’ Affenpinscher CH Vanistica Boogie Woogie at Hawksflight. So full of himself, the very essence of comic seriousness. He is well built, sound and sturdy, moved very well with correct lively, strutting action. A good body, short and straight back, no exaggeration in underline and carrying his tail well. Loved his head, and eye and shaggy hair giving him the desired monkey like expression.

BPIS was Simpson’s Soletrader Surfs Up Stan (PBGV). Sometimes a dog walks in the ring and you just can’t stop smiling, this young man was so happy and full of the joys of life, he just filled my eye immediately.

Correct body proportions, level topline and strong loin. Loved him.
