2nd: ROGERSON, Miss L J Nosregor Take It All. 2yo black with the most lovely, masculine head. Nice overall shape and good short loin. Slightly longer in hock than 1. Lacking a little coat today, but it was of correct texture. On the move he was very sound.

Class 97 LB NO ENTRIES

Class 98 OB (3 Entries) Abs: 0 Three lovely bitches.

1st: FRANCIS, Mr D & PEARCE, Mr G Longsdale's Remember Me. Super brown bitch who shouted ‘class’ at me when I first saw her, and my notes say ‘what I wanted to see’. Lovely square shape, feminine head with neat ears, good eyes, overall construction was bang on. On the move she was brisk, sound and full of the love of life! BCC and BOB.

2nd: FRANCIS, Mr D & PEARCE, Mr G Ch Longsdale's No More The Fool. Another lovely girl, this one cream. Slightly longer in outline but in this class I was being very picky.

Square, well-constructed, correct bone and feet. Abundant coat, presented so well. She was very sound on the move. I loved her! RBCC and BVIB.

2nd: TRENDLE, Mrs C Lusam Toodle Pip Sh.CM. At 13 yo, this youngster demonstrates the staying power of the breed – and what a great fitness regime can do. Dark sable, pretty in head, lovely ears. Good outline and construction. She also showed like a lovely, happy showgirl. While more stately on the move, she was sound. A real star.
