Judge : Patsy Hollings (Gunalt)
Breed : Italian Spinone
1st Open Bitch (8 entries)
Bitch Challenge Certificate
A grand class to get your teeth into. Each presented me with type, soundness, correct outline and maturity when going over. Movement out and back did not make my job that much easier. It had to be down to the final move round to clinch the places and the winner really did go with precision, reach and drive, holding her shape and displaying confidence and power yet retaining femininity to clinch the deal and win. Therefore she also took the CC. (I was surprised yet delighted to see, as I wrote the name on the ticket, that Linda Collins bred this lovely bitch, I hope you were looking down smiling).
