****** Best Veteran in Breed ******
Judge: Pam Blay
Judges Critique:- "Riley�s Kenmillix Metope at Fassfields, a workmanlike bitch who I would be happy to work with, in such fit condition with excellent muscletone despite her 9.1/2 years, feminine head & expression, lovely type with good body proportions, correct coat, excellent topline & docked tail which was well set, well boned legs & feet, correct depth of chest, the more I looked at her the more she appealed, she really gave the youngsters a run for their money in the challenge, she is quality & I have my fingers crossed for you.

From winning her Veteran Bitch Class
Judge: Sharon Pinkerton
Judges Critique:- "When I first saw this bitch she reminded me so much of the bitch we showed - such a lovely type and oaverall balance, lovely feminine head with an excellent expression from dark eyse, very good coat texture on her head, long neck leading into clean well placed shoulders, a tad shorter in upperarm than ideal, well boned legs and good feet, deep ribs and well sprung, correct topline and croup, excellent hindquarters including width of second thigh, excellent thick coat with wire rexture, so sound on the move showing great profiel stride and drive behind she just flowed around the ring with such ease I could have watched her all day. Delighted to award her the CC/BIS and hope her third CC isn't far away."
