Another great show for the young  team Switherland!

Switherland Glory Girl takes the bitch CC from the Junior class at only her second show.

JB (5,1) 1 Freer’s Switherland Glory Girl, stunning r/w bitch. The most classic of outlines. Well defined skull shape with the darkest of eyes, correct mouth. Loved her elegant reach of neck running down into well laid shoulders. Firm topline maintained on & off the move. Enough rear angulation without being overdone. Correct tailset carried in the correct sabre fashion. I much admired the overall balance & style of this bitch as she moved out with drive & conviction around the ring. Pleased to award her, her first CC, & RBIS;  Judge Judith Armstrong

Switherland Distant Image takes Res. dog CC his second at only his second show and goes on to win Best Puppy in Show.

MPD (4,1a) 1 Freer’s Switherland Distant Image, r/w, what an exciting future prospect. The most mature male in this class, but apart from that so well put together. Really well balanced with masculine head & beautiful eye colour & shape. Correct mouth with enough lip without being overdone. Firm topline held both on the move & stack. Sufficient rear angulation stern carried in correct manor. Moved out as one with handler. Enough bone for his size, all in all he presented a very balanced picture. He was very confident for one so young. Pleased to award him RCC & BP;

Thank you to judge Mrs Judith Armstrong.

 Rus .Rom.& Lux Champion Irma Podkoldernik Jadowity 

Irma takes her 2nd CC & Best of Breed 

under breed specialist judge Mrs Rose Phillips

OB (5,1) 1 Antipova, Freer & Rodgers’ Lux/Rom/Rus Irma Podkoldernik Jadowity Ch, didn’t really need to put my hands on this bitch. Could see how well made she is by looking. Well balanced, soundly constructed all through. Ideal size & of correct proportions. She ticked all the boxes for me. Not overdone, has the harshest of coats & moved superbly. Hard to fault her. CC & BOB; Judge Rose Phillips
