Best in Show

First of all I would like to say how sorry I was for the breed judges whose entries were some what depleted due to the attrocious weather conditions and especially for those exhibitors coming from the north of England. Also I would like to say thank you to the committee of Birmingham & District Fox Terrier Club for their very kind invitation to judge Best In Show and the very enjoyable gift I was presented with! I was very pleased with the two exhibits that came before me as both were good examples of their breed. 

For me the Wire Davani’s Travella She’s On Fire just edged out the Smooth for the top spot. She presented a good overall picture and was shown in excellent coat and condition. The Smooth Peakin’s Ubble du Manor Saint Adrien at Byzantine (Imp Fra) also in very good coat and condition and both dogs moved well and soundly.
