Best Baby Puppy In Show Kiss Kiss Du Chateau Noblesse at Ellemich (Imp Deu)

My thanks to the committee of the Southern CKCS club for the invitation to judge at their championship show, my thanks also to my stewards Sue and Rob who kept the ring flowing smoothly, and to the exhibitors for their entries and graceful acceptance of my decisions.

My co judge Mea Kendall and myself, both preferred our own choices for BIS, so we called for the referee Pam Rayner who decided on the dog, we agreed to the bitch for RBIS. We also agreed for the blen dog puppy Pascavale Banksy for BPIS, a small well balanced male of 11 months, typy head with the most lustrous eyes. BVIS was the bitch, unfortunately there was no veteran dog to challenge but she is a worthy winner.
