JUDGE LYNNE HENNESSY
Quality in depth was in the early classes, however I was extremely pleased with my line up and competition for the Res.cc. was hot.
SPECIAL VETERAN BITCH
1ST & B.V.I.S. COOPER'S SH.CH.GOLDSMILL TAKE A CHANCE OF ME. Still retaining her beautiful shape and quality, a credit to her owner. Pretty mid gold coat beautifully presented, good neck and shoulders, straight front on good feet. Creates such a lovely outline, moves true retaining her dead level top line
2ND HEAD & TAPPENDEN'S LORNABBEL SAUCY SECRET shcm. Rich gold bitch in good fettle lovely type and substance, super broad quarters. sympathetically handled, she so enjoyed her day.
3RD ALLSOP & ZINGS FR.CH. REMMY OF GRAYSHOT AT CHRISPER.
VETERAN BITCH
1ST RUSSELL'S ROSINANTE CHELSEA GIRL. Super outline on this ultra feminine bitch, still retains her enthusiasm both standing and on the move. When stacked shows super neck into well laid shoulders, straight front, excellent tail set, dead level top line when standing, however her over enthusiasm on the move can cause her to drop her top line. Nevertheless a very appealing bitch from any angle.

A FANTASTIC CLASS
1ST & B.P.I.S. ZUBAIR'S THORNYWAIT PIXIE CRUNCH. My notes say special, this beautiful blonde is destined for the top, she has such style and attitude coupled with her expert handling and perfect presentation she didn’t put a foot wrong. Long clean neck going into well laid shoulders, super top line and tail set. Strong bone, super broad hind quarters which she uses to move round the ring with style and drive.
2ND LOACH'S THORNYWAIT PINK SPARKLE WITH PUTJADE. Litter sister to one and hot on her heels. Absolutely correct in every respect, fabulous mover, just didn’t have the finish of coat as 1st. Her day will certainly come.
