"Some very pleasing bitches in this class. Winner is a feminine high quality white and brindle bitch of excellent size and proportions,she is excelling in the balance and interplay between topline and underline as well as angulations in front part to hindquarters. The outlines are classic and she is close to perfection in front and rear construction. Moved with presence and style but got a little less interested in doing so in the challenge for the BCC. Was told she gained her title and also the group the weekend before at Bath,which is highly understandable and I was later informed that she was my BOS winner at the European FCI Show in Dublin last year."
