Excellent mouth and put up a good performance. BPIS.

2. Martin’s Tinkave Brown Eyed Girl at Kirmir, B, 14/09/14, Br: J Lazenby, (Ch/AM Ch Ascot Sanspur at Yarrow – Tinkave Diamond Girl ) A steady showgirl who would benefit from more angulation front and rear. Another with a good head and typical Norwich expression.

1st and 2nd were litter sisters, at 7 years old they could easily give some of the younger exhibits here today a run for their money.

Junior Handling Classes
Judge: Mrs. Ruth Gee (Watercroft)
Junior Handling 6-11 years (1,0):
1 . Cristabel Vaughan. Very nice young handler who for her first attempt at Junior Handling showed she could follow instructions and control her young puppy who was very attentive and responsive to everything asked of him, the more they went around the ring the better they got. I was pleased to watch them later in the show putting into practice what she had learned, well done Cristabel.
