Open

1. Bailey & Yates, Wilmit Mirabelle For Boneveon. 2 and half year old tri bitch. Balanced overall shape and proportions. Good head and skull. Low set ears and nice dark eyes, creating a Nobel expression. Her overall construction won this class. Strong top line, good set tail carried well. When settled moved out well. She does have a tendency to turn out a front leg. Handler didn’t get the best out of her today and coat wasn’t in the best of conditions.

2. Bailey, Gairside Special Event For Boneveon. Orange and white bitch who I’ve judged before. Another well made GBGV. Good head and skull. She’s a little shorter in body than I would prefer so not as proportioned as winner. Good muscle and coat. Moved well.
