| Reserve Best Of Breed | Foxdown Chiquitita Of Melanitta | Ward |
Thank you to all the exhibitors and handlers for such an enjoyable day, with results taken in such good spirit. The first time handler should be congratulated and encouraged to continue. It was great to see such an improvement in front angulation and structure since I last judged the breed. I felt the floor affected movement in some cases but once settled was not disappointed.
Post Graduate Dog or Bitch (5 entries, 1 absent)
Two sisters headed this class, could change position any time, but today just felt the first had the edge on movement, both being more mature than the other exhibits in the class, whom I will watch with interest in the future.
| 1st | Ward FOXDOWN CHIQUITITA OF MELANITTA . Lovely mature bitch of correct size with good overall balance, good head and expression, not overdone in any way, neck well set on to well laid back shoulders with good length of upper arm, well muscled hindquarters and moved out well, RBOB. |
