“Min” Best In Show Perth WA Championship Show 2003
Judge: Mrs Lyn Kipps “Wheatcroft” UK
Critique:”BITCH CC BIS B OPEN IN SHOW A real heart stealer: possessing the best of all the essential attributes: attentive personality, construction, balance, condition, glamour, and gait. Her movement was a joy to watch as she breezed round the ring, holding her head high with perfect tail carriage, topline held and covering the ground with free long strides. Perfectly presented and in rich gold with cream featherings. Pleased to award her my BIS.”

Critique:Bitch Challenge and Best in show
“An outstanding bitch from any angle. Caught my eye immediately for her type and quality. Superb outline and in full bloom. Head held proudly on well arched neck. Good shoulders, topline and deep well muscled quarters with excellent bend of stifle. Happy waggy tail and moving most positively and accurately. I would quite happily have smuggled her home with me! My star of the day .”

Giltedge Charlotte wins Bitch CC and Runner-up to Best In Show
“Thought this bitch was quite outstanding. Mid gold, clean as a whistle, in absolutely top form. Carries just the right amount of weight. Has everything it needs to take on an excellent class and win it. Double coat in full bloom, tremendous stifles and second thigh, with good muscle tone. This bitch could trouble the best in any country I have judged in, a credit to her owners/breeders. She was my bitch CC winner but was unfortunately loosing her oomph by the challenge for Best in Show.”
