Presented in tip-top condition.  Standing she really filled the eye.  Then she moved and demonstrated what true movement is all about.  Delighted my co-judge was in agreement that this beauty should be BIS.

acceptance of my decisions. I had some lovely dogs to go over, and I was extremely pleased with my
main winners. Finally, my sincere apologies in the delay publishing these critiques, due to ill-health and
