Judging: Toy Group, Veteran

TOY.

1st : 4503 AMSEL, Mrs J B Ch Florita Tavalino - ITALIAN GREYHOUND – Little between Ist. & 2nd.in this class. Shapely, with lovely posture and a calm confidence. Just worked the ring with, action typical of the breed, charm and symmetry.  Produced in body and condition that is not weak or too much. 
2nd : 4458 IMRIE, Mrs W Norris Ch Witchstone Black Hawk At Amalric JW - ENGLISH TOY TERRIER (BLACK & TAN) – Dog. He may be ‘classified’ as a toy, but he has the alertness of a terrier and has a spark in his relatively small dark eye. Good set and use of ear. He has long clean neck, shape to body, both topline and tuck up. He keeps good deportment and length of stride on the move. 
3rd : 4438 WILCOX, Miss Amy Bramerita Talulah Truffle - CHIHUAHUA (SMOOTH COAT) – Bitch. Balance of head with big well-fitting ear and cheeky expression. Has large ears set not too close to enhance the picture. Clean through neck and level back. As with all my winners, in really good condition, none too heavy or weak. Has carriage on the move. 
4th : 4860 ORCHARD, Mrs Amanda & HOLYLAND, Mrs I Multi Ch Fiesta Show Russian Pride (imp Blr) - RUSSIAN TOY – Only when I came to do the critique did, I realise that I had judged him before and given him high honours. I just found him such a smart sassy dog. He never let up and went with such style and with a confident air. He well deserved his reward here.
