Limit Bitch
1. Haywood & Ridgeway's - Luccombe Hazel Nut Cluster - What a class, I could have used several red cards here! Two year old L/W completely at home with both her handler and the task in hand. Standing she is relaxed yet ready for action, when called to move she flows in to a free driving action which is to all intents effortless. The symmetry of bone muscle and weight all combine to form a perfect picture. The elegant head with dark amber eyes and defined stop, framed by beautiful ears. A graceful arched neck flows into a strong but feminine body superb top and under line lines are supported by sound well boned legs which she used to drive home her top place today. Best Bitch. Best in Show. Best Liver in show

1. Dinsdale's - Dalesbred Mariette - I can't fully explain just why I like this beautiful B/W bitch I just know that every time I see her I fall in love with her again. Lovely head ears a little dark. She has the truest level topline of any dog in the ring. With a tailset and carriage which is to die for. Her decoration is superb and clean. Movement is straight and true. Front and shoulders all speak of good regular exercise, hind quarters superb. Beaten today by the visual softness of the limit winner. Res. Best Bitch
