DANDIE DINMONT CRUFTS 25 hank you to all the exhibitors for giving me such a wonderful entry, I did appreciate it. Being second in the ring with another breed following, I tried not to waste any time without giving each exhibit the due amount of attention. VD (1) 1 Ch Danchesters Vote Me to Win (Imp Fin) (Hume) A mustard of lovely size and outline, well balanced head of good proportions, good eye and expression, correct mouth, enough rib and substance, strong coupling well placed and carried tail. Very happy temperament and sound enough on the move. Presented in good order. PD (4) 1 Dainty Dandies Explorer at Lenacourt (Imp Nld) (Harcourt-Morris) A pepper of lovely size and carried himself so well, good skull and strong muzzle of good proportions, correct mouth, well placed shoulders onto an ok front, typical topline with the correct rise over the loin. Free on the move and covered sufficient ground, happy for him to be Best Puppy. 2 Puddockswell Imagine This Around Marbledale (IKC) (Roberts). A mustard of pleasing type, balanced head with a large well shaped eye. Enough neck into well placed shoulders. Good in rib and tail carriage, on the move he was a touch unsettled but shows promise 3 Waffelins Velorum (Nettleton) JD (2) 1 - Lovelettie Busy Bean (Buckley) A mustard who I found to be very free moving, appearing a touch on the larger size at the moment, but so sound.
