I would like to thank the committee for inviting me along to judge these hound breeds and the exhibitors who entered under me for accepting my placings with good grace.

Basset Griffon Vendeen (Petit) Open (3,0)

1) Brown & Brown IR CH Erylan Chaud Comme Hades AN CH 23, CW24,25- A well-handled, well-balanced boy of correct size. Pleasing head, lovely black nose and dark oval eye. Well laid-back shoulders with good return of upper arm and tail carried proudly. Moved freely with drive. Could very much see this boy doing a day’s work. BOB.

2) Gilluley & Allen’s Ballencrieff Jingle Belle- Another well balanced, pleasing hound. Lovely, correct head, low set ears and proud tail. Expertly handled to move freely and showcase her lovely movement.

2) Brown & Brown’s IR CH Claela Sweet Dreams IR JUN CH, AN CH 24- pleasing male of good size, well balanced and well-placed shoulders. Giving his handler a hard time today but sympathetically handled.

Smooth-Haired Dachshund Open (2,1)
