1st: PINKNEY, Ms C Louise Hydebeck Dream To Love JW, lots to love about this girl from the tip of her nose to the tipof her tail. In correct proportions with lovely muscle tone she made full use of her angles on the move. Her harsh coat complemented her overall appearance. She was handled to perfection. Delighted to have awarded her her crown today as I did with her mother in 2022.

1st: AMOO, Mr C & Mrs J Art Cuinns Sade Nyx (imp/swe), a well constructed lady with good bone, body mass and coat texture. She has good depth of chest, infill and width with elbows well under. Standing on correct feet & having straight hock she fulfilled the breed standard. When she got into stride she was true fore & aft and used rear angles well in profile.
2nd: SALES, Mr John Francistown Bonnie,  the appearance of this bitch would have been enhanced by more attention to the handling. I could feel good strength of bone a well covered frame, good depth of chest, gentle rise over loin.

1st: STRATHEARN, Ms Yvonne Pride Of Sligo, she is a very sound mover to & fro but her underline spoilt an otherwise graceful appearance.
