"A lovely entry. I think that most Dandie exhibitors are, by now, aware of the great love I have for the breed. It is always a pleasure to assess them & for the past few appointments it has also been a privilege to judge such outstanding Dandies. Forget the breed’s numerical vulnerability & concentrate on the current phenomenal quality. It should be no surprise to see Dandies figuring prominently in ch show terrier groups, long may it continue.

"Some attention should be given to eye size & colour & a few exhibits had uneven fronts."

2nd: Green's Inzievar Rose Gold for Abbeywater

Mustard, although not so dark eyed or moving as forcefully as 1 she is still a top class Dandie. Shapely & well balanced, her coat texture is correct & of pleasing colours. I had no hesitation in recalling her for RCC.
