East Anglian Gundog Society, 20 October 2024
Judge: Daphne Bailey
Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge BIS at their show. This is a very well run show, with such a hard working, friendly group of people. A big thank you to my stewards for giving me a laugh, and keeping things running smoothly. I had the pleasure of judging some lovely exhibits, and thoroughly enjoy my day.
BIS Solomon’s CCR Sh Ch Foxriever Mystic Marvel At Elkysar
Today for me this dog stood out in a very strong group, he is all male with a balanced head and soft expressive eye, super bone & feet, presented in hard condition throughout, along with his tight crisp jacket, very sound moving at the correct pace, holding his topline, he has deep ribbing, and firm loin, his thighs are well muscled, along with strong hocks, looks like he could work all day.
