1st. Neath –Duggan’s CH. Buffrey Sprig O Mint JW This black spotted bitch, eight years old, and a ‘rangier’ type being longer cast and up to size is not to my personal preference in type, but as far as the standard requires undeniably presents a good all round representation of the breed and how it should move in action. A worthy Champion, with good spotting and presented in immaculate condition and well handled. This bitch out moved everything else on the day and it was an easy decision to award her ‘top honours’ as she excelled in her movement. Coming and going towards was very true, neither pinning in or out. In profile powered around the ring with a long striding action exhibiting extended front action and with a powerful rear driving propulsion from the hocks. I was pleased to award her Best Bitch in Show and along with my co –judges she was awarded Reserve Best in Show.
