PGB (3,1) 1 Pierce’s Boudivella Maisie, another Glen of Imaal who showed well, she is very typical & moved well, I liked her presentation of a correct coat & texture, pretty head & expression with a correctly shaped & coloured eye, good earset, neck & topline, moved well to win her place here & she went on to take RBB; 2 Lloyd-Warrington’s Diddimont Honey Honey, Dandie Dinmont who still needs work when she settled she moved ok, she has good proportions & a nice head & expression, good length & strength in topline. OB (1) 1 Hassell & Vine’s Bareve Absolutely Fabulous, well presented Australian Terrier from the top drawer, she is quality & it shows in her demeanour, lovely head & expression, well set & carried ears, good neck & forequarters, strong topline & correct hindquarters, excellent presentation of a good coat. Moved well in profile but just a bit wide behind today in the up & back. BB. BD/B (4,2) 1 Obi Wan Kenobi of K at S (imp Hu),Best Special Beginner; 2 Harris’ Nahearadh Sky Full Of Stars
