First Place in Mid Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Denise Townsend (Llanishen)
I was thrilled to be awarded this prestigious appointment and would like to thank everyone for making this a very enjoyable day. I have always been a fan of the joint show and the opportunity it gives for the clubs to come together. The entire organising team was marvellous but special mention must go to my stewards Peter Roderick and Colin Girling for all their support and assistance, and to collecting ring organisers Wendy and Andrew Mooney for keeping the action flowing. Also thanks to Kathy Wilkinson and Su Williams for all their help in organising the event.
Overall I was pleased with the quality of my entry although there was more quality in depth in bitches. Movement was generally good and there were very few wry mouths. True otter heads seem somewhat in decline and there were several single coats. However, I was delighted with all of my winners.
(BCC & BIS) Such a lot to admire about this bitch; stylish and brim full of quality and totally fit for purpose. Absolutely sound and impressive to go over. Well balanced with beautiful racy lines and a fantastic clean straight front; just the right size and amount of bone; easily spanned. Feminine, typical otter head with lovely flat skull and dark eye. The best mover of the day and showed to perfection.
