Again Keira, Robbie and Maddie did very well at Crufts this year. Robbie gaining a first in Graduate dog, Keira a first in Limit Bitch, and Maddie gaining a VHC in Special Puppy. Here are some pictures below at this very special show.
All pictures were taken by my good friend Susan who thoroughly enjoyed her day out at Crufts and was there to cheer me and the dogs on. Thank you Susan.
Keira came first in Limit Bitch out of a very good entry of 15. The judge for bitches was Miss D Pearson. I think Keira did very well considering she decided to lose her coat three weeks before!
Robbie came first in Graduate Dog out of an entry of 15, dog judge Mr J Peach. Well done Rob!
Maddie came fifth (very highly commended) out of a good entry of 14 in the Special puppy class. Judge Miss D Pearson. This was Maddies first time at Crufts at 11months old and I was very pleased with her win. Well done Maddie.

"Robbie"
J(12) 1 - Fisher's Tri To Die For At Shellamoyed, Well he is to die for, he caught my eye as he came into the ring and I was not dissapointed when I went over him, there is nothing exaggerated about him, well constructed, nice straight front, well bent stifle, good round bone, lovely length of neck which was enphasised in his attentiveness to his handler, coat of the correct texture and a dense black. Moved with good forward reach and drive from behind:

G (12) - 2nd - Fisher's Rowancrest Saphira JW, Good for size and type, neat head, well placed eyes and ears, good topline and rear angulation, making super outline;
