I thoroughly enjoyed my day at this fun, well organised show and thank the committee for the kind invitation to judge for them. Thank you also to the exhibitors for a super entry and to those who accepted me as a replacement judge for the Utility Group, several breeds and the champion stakes.  

AV Utility Veteran (17,7) A super start to the day with a quality filled veteran class. 

1. Sensation vom Tespelkooi of Valleyrise VW (Imp Deu), Breed: Kooikerhondje (Miss C Johnson) 10 year old bitch in such super condition, so attentive to her handler and always standing to an advantage showing off her well balanced outline. Pretty head of good proportions with good filling under dark eyes, correctly set and carried ears with good furnishings. Her super construction was put to use on the move circling the ring with plenty of reach and drive holding her outline firm, accurate out and back, presented in quality coat. Best Utility Veteran. 

2. Quidditch A Touch of Sass, Breed: Tibetan Terrier (Ms E Hadlow) 8 yr old bitch again presented in immaculate condition and a credit to her owner. Squarely built and sturdy with firm topline and balanced angulation. Lovely head and typical resolute expression, strong jaw and dark eyes. Moved soundly and accurately.

Feminine head of good length with neat, high set ears, dark eyes, dense pigment and nicely finished foreface. Lovely construction throughout which is reflected in her super movement.

Open (5,3) 

1. Evad Lite Breeze (Miss S L Clough) 5 yr dog in quality coat with decent front and rear assembly, a little short in neck for balance. Sweet face of good proportions with dense pigment, high set ears and alert expression. Moved very well out and back and freely in profile.

Superb on the move covering the ground with ease and style maintaining his outline at all times.

Group 3 Twybrook Barenhauter, Breed: Kooikerhondje (Mr I & Mrs C Davies) 2 yr dog who’s super movement won him this place, active and purposeful with firm outline. Handsome head with intelligent expression. 

Group 4 Demorace Belle Starr at Simberfour, Breed: Boston Terrier (Mr S & Miss M Gill & Hamlin) Almost a year old and making a very good account of herself to take a spot in the adult group. Neat outline which she holds on the move, sweet face with nice eyes and expression. Moving very smartly. She topped the puppy group and ended the day RBPIS, well done.
