OB(2) what a treat to have these two top quality bitches shown here today, 1st Pearce and Francis Ch Longsdales Jen You Win and 2nd Ch Longsdales Feel Free to Stare, RCC , creams of the highest order and splitting hairs to choose between them, both full of breed attributes and conditioned to the highest standard, their clever owners deserve these accolades for producing such quality, in the end Jen won the CC simply on maturity which I understand gives her the breed record, CC, BOB & Group 2. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
