BCC Bergstrom’s Skyewalker’s Paris; Res BCC Marshall’s But Beautiful Of Morningsky Glorfindel (IMP DEU) and Best Puppy Bitch Curtis’ Verumamicus Aurora Of Brakemill.

This is Frisco Kiaora’s 3rd CC this year and subject to KC confirmation this had now made him up. Congratulations to Jenny Kendrick.
During the lunch break Mr Alan Small (Bethane) judged the Special Award classes and his winners were: Junior D/B – Large’s Parrima-Arih Universe Of My Fantasy Is Madaza (IMP RUS); Post Graduate D/B – Parker’s Tweedsmuir Feebee Mine and Open D/B – Curtis’ Ch Brakemill Barnum SHCM.
This Kitchen had been very busy all day. Special thanks must go to Bryan Curtis for organising the catering assisted by Colette Lanceley who also organised the judges lunches. Also thanks to the ring stewards Anne Ankcorn and Carol Collins; Margaret and Brian Johnson on the tombola. There was also a raffle and an auction. Allan Stephenson was in charge of the Whisky Raffle to raise funds for Skyes on Skye 2021 and raised the huge amount of £185.00. Initial sums for the fund raising for the day is looking very good.
