It was a great experience and one I will never forget. A big thank you also to the exhibitors who gave me a wonderful entry. I was looking for a Dandie that could move with drive, with correct hind quarters and sound shoulders. The coat should be a double coat with right mixture of harsh to soft undercoat. Finally the head needs to be a domed skull with lower set ears, a lovely top knot, deep melting eyes and a bramble dark nose. I love a beautiful head. Coats varied considerably in quality and I feel that the breed needs consideration in the front and shoulders. The top line needs also to be addressed, as this is an important breed point. This was in fact a deciding factor in several classes. My dog CC winner had all the qualities worthy of a champion and they are a credit to their owners. The bitch CC winner had also returned to the show ring after having a litter, so that makes her extra special. Thank you all once again. I had the most amazing experience and a lovely day with the most delightful breed. VD 3(1) 1. France’s Ch/Int/Multi Ch.
