Thankyou to the Crufts committee for inviting me to judge at this prestigious show, and the exhibitors for a super entry – I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Some of the decisions were very close with some outstanding exhibits. Open Bitch was amazing with so many quality exhibits in one class - even the lower placings going to quality bitches.
VetD (4,1) 1. Rensenbrink - Ch Markylla’s Mythological Midas, tri dog with nice head, but too strong in skull for me. Well made body with good short coat. In good condition looked smart standing and moved well. 2. French’s Delmbush Crackerjack at Frendet JW, blue merle with clean wedge head of good type. Lacks the angulation of first, which showed in his movement. 3. Purvey’s Chicnoir Midnight Magic at Freejack, tri of good type. Has good clean wedge head, well-made body and good bone. Sadly showing his age standing and moving although still has good reach of stride.
