Grateful thanks to the society for their kind invitation to judge and to the exhibitors for a great entry of quality dogs and thanks to my Steward, John for keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Well constructed, with good head and neck, strong front and well sprung rib. Bright eye and alert general expression, Movement Ok. 2 Pierce’s Boudivella Maisie: 7 month old blue bitch, slightly lesser in frame and without the strength of front of 1, good dark eye and powerful jaw. Moved well.
