Wonderful class of bitches to judge where personal preference and performance on the day was the deciding factor. Quality bitches right down the line.

1ST Zobear Here's Drama (Miss Mc & Miss F & Mr M & Mr W Hannigan & Whitehead & Selby & Maloret) - Superb bitch of outstanding type. Excellent head, strong underjaw, dark expressive eye. Beautiful outline with strength and elegance combined. Moved with great freedom and lift, truly a picture in motion. She pushed hard in the challenge but got a little too exuberant on the move but delighted to award her the RCC. One I am sure we will hear a lot more about.

2ND Ch Saxonmill Mirror Image (Miss C & Miss A Dowd & Malia) - Another beautiful example and one I have done well for before, balanced outline, excellent head, lengthy neck leading into the best of shoulders. So sound on the move. Love her and could happily hand her and her lovely sister who was 3rd a CC.

1ST Ch/int/lux/ir/nld Ch Popovs Sazerac at Sarakhan (Imp Nld) JW (Mrs R Tromp) - Lovely veteran of great class. Shows excellent breed type, balanced head, elegant outline, and moved with grace and dignity, a credit to her owner. Such a correct type with movement to match. I didn’t think when I started judging today I would be handing both CC’s to veterans but this bitch was just so correct she could not be denied. CC.
