Mrs A Walker (Kayceekay) |
I would like to thank Angela Bates and the Committee of SCKCSC for inviting me to judge their Spring Open Show, their hospitality and kind memento. I had been looking forward to this day and I had some lovely dogs to go over and would thank the exhibitors for the sporting atmosphere with all classes being applauded. A truly friendly show. Thank you to my Stewards Terry Bickerton and Estelle Dodds’ for their help during the day. |

Grajenco Macchiato at Lyncraeg 2½ year old Ruby my notes say ‘beautiful’! She certainly excelled in the challenge and when shortlisted continued to show so well. She was a good shape and maintained a level topline both standing and on the move. She had lovely dark eyes and pigmentation, good dentition and her skull was almost flat between her ears. Her ear set at the correct high framed her face giving a soft feminine expression. She has a good reach of neck and good shoulder angulation. She was short coupled with a good spring of rib. I would prefer a better tail set and croup. However, with her show qualities and temperament I was delighted to award her RBB. |
