What a day we have had today, I can’t believe it. Today Harry was BOB under Helen MacDonald having won the Graduate class and then BEST IN SHOW under David Spencer. This has to be the proudest day of my ‘dog’ life. This is our local show, and all of our friends were there to see Harry’s triumph. The cheer that went up around the ring as he was declared BIS, I will remember forever.

Critique: Helen MacDonald – Handsome tri male, perhaps a fraction up to size, but his quality shone out, beautiful masculine head with a lot of work in it, strong neck, well laid shoulders, deep chest, firm topline, strong well angulated rear, first class condition, presentation and handling.  David Spencer – BIS was the very sound English Springer, Spaggas Tristar.
