BEDLINGTON JUDGE CRUFTS 20

It was an honour and a pleasure to judge Bedlingtons at such a prestigious show as Crufts. I would like to thank my two stewards who completed their tasks with great efficiency and the exhibitors for their attendance. I enjoyed my day and was delighted to see my Best of Breed went on to be selected fourth in the Group.

VD (3, 1)

1 Walters & Mitchell’s Ch Rathsrigg Millrace. Sound dog in good dark coat, good head, dark eyes set well, good reach of neck down to fine shoulders, plenty of bone and muscle, powerful rear end that showed on the move.
