Maurice Bellamy Early Bird Puppy Stakes (16,9abs)

1. Hardisty’s Blunderhill Jackson (Beagle). D. Handsome lad, who caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring, liked his size and outline, with his correct tail set. Well made throughout and shown in super condition. Showed his socks off, and he impressed on the move with good reach and drive holding his top line and tail carriage. 

2. Hannington’s Boudivella Dottie (Glen of Small Terrier ) b. When I looked at the catalogue after judging, I realised I’ve met this young lady before and thought highly of her then and clearly still do.
