On the move, he has good reach in front and once he settled, plenty of drive behind. BPD

1st: BISLAND, Mrs Joan Ch Lux Ch Krieger's Highland Fling Jw. I'm not sure that I can say anything about this beautifully put together brown bitch that hasnt already been said before but let me start by saying that I loved her as a very baby puppy when I first saw her and to be given the honour of judging her as a mature adult was one I was thrilled with. She exudes breed type, feminine but with great strength and so well put together. Her head is well balanced, she has good depth of muzzle and correct dentition. Super reach of neck, clean and dry leading to a cracking straight front, well developed forechest and the tightest of feet. Her topline slopes gently, held well on the move and ribs are well sprung. She has good angulation fore and aft and was presented in just the best condition, gleaming jacket and great muscle tone. On the move, she was steady and precise, great reach in front. Delighted to award her the CC & BOB and so pleased to see her awarded WG3 later on in the day.

2nd: WALL, Mrs Jo & WALL, Mr Steve Ch Perardua Amaris. Very smart girl with a super outline, clean, compact and elegant. Her head is of good length with well set ears.

1st: INGRAM & HENDERSON, Mrs,Miss & Mr Ja, Vl & J Multi Ch Jojavik Devils Ivy JW OSW. It was an honour to be given the chance to judge this girl, one I have admired for a long time. Being in Veteran should take nothing away from this elegant showgirl - she has such a lovely outline, clean, beautifully angulated, super reach of neck, enough forechest and good depth of chest. I loved her head and she has the darkest of eyes so full of expression. Her topline is firm with a cracking tailset and presented in superb condtion, well muscled and with a gleaming jacket. Stylish and fluid on the move, she could not be denied the RCC & BVIB Thrilled for all her connections to see her take a very strong Working Veteran Group.
