Judge Miss Claire Norman
Another replacement Judge as Mrs Denise Rowan (Rowancrest) was unable to attend.

Katie liked this Judge (as she normally does) and won the Special Yearling Bitch class. Arya won her Open Bitch class also. Our daughter-in-law Georgina Howard was present on the day showing Jon for her Mum and Dad so Georgie handled Katie in the Bitch Challenge whilst I handled Arya.

Arya was awarded Best Bitch and then Georgie had to do a quick swap to get Jon out to challenge for Best of Breed as Jon had been awarded Best Dog, so many thanks to Georgie for helping me out as Mark had not attended this show.

I was thrilled that Claire Norman found her Best of Breed in Arya, and Jon was awarded Reserve Best of Breed this time.

After waiting for the Rough Collies to finish their judging, Arya and myself went in to Challenge for Best in Show under Breed Specialist Judge, Mrs Ann French (Breckamore) and I was thrilled that Arya won BEST IN SHOW, with Jon then being called in to challenge the rough collie again for Reserve Best in Show and Jon came out on top winning RESERVE BEST IN SHOW.

A great day!
