Many thanks to both judges for the great critiques and a special thank you to my hosts for the weekend, the Manni family!
PS. Miss D missed the show due to her season which started out of schedule this time. Next time..

Crufts continued

My schips' critiques from Crufts by breed judge Mrs. Penny Laverick:

INT CH Wyndsong Halcyon Midnight Watch - Open Dog 2. More of an old fashioned type but moved well with good coat.

INT CH Shalako Dynamite - Open Bitch 1 resCC. A beautiful true Schip - very lovely but just lost out to the CC winner, but she is the whole package - very alert too.
