Best Junior In Show

Congratulations to all five dogs in the final for BJIS, all were extremely well presented and a credit to each of their owners.

BJIS – Lowes & Jackson, Callowdale Drummer Boy. Tibetan Mastiff What an impressive youngster! From his first lap in when he entered the ring, I was mesmerised by his agile, light yet powerful movement, and I could not wait to get my hands on him. Broad large skull with wonderful proportions and a lovely dark typically expressive eye. So well-muscled throughout with wonderful angulation and high set tail, giving such a picture on the stand. Parallel hind which he used to really drive himself in his effortless movement. I’m sure as he matures, he will go on to great things! Extremely well deserved, huge congratulations.

RBJIS – Ford, Castafiore Isabella. Tibetan Spaniel. She really showed her little socks off for this award which I could not deny her! Congratulations
