she does I just caught a quick glance of her on dfs crufts, I take it she does not own the dog and is handling for someone?

shes done very well with rotties, shibas and soft coated wheatens

She handles quite a few different breeds for people I think - I saw her at Darlington with different breeds. I suppose people pay her to handle? During the interview after getting placed, she explained the Akita stayed with her for a week so it got to know & trust her.

Although I have never been overly fond of the Fantasa type she breeds, I do have enormous admiration for her as a handler. I think she is fab at handling and makes it look SO easy!

I might surprise some people by saying I don't think the Rott will win. He was very nice and a brilliant show-man on the day, but I've seen nicer looking Rotties. My money is on the Pharoah Hound. That dog was breathtaking going around the ring and will be very hard to beat I think.

Yes and yes, she did handle it, and no she does not own it, handles it for the owners.

Whoever wins the gundog group, cos' they is the best.

I didn't see the first days group judging but I do like the pharoah hound. The malteses was very nice too but I do think it depends on who wins the gundog group tonight.

I had the privilege of coming face to face with that beautiful Akita today...she was just entering the door as we were leaving for home...she is stunning in the flesh, absolutely perfect

I would like a Gundog to win..preferably an English Setter, an Irish Setter or a Pointer...but then I am really, really biased

Will need to have another look plus see the Gundog winner

Did pick ESS as winner of the Gamekeepers' Class though Gorgeous dog

I like the Gordon Setter in the gun dog group, and the Vizla

Who do you think is going to make it?


im just watching the gundogs just now I love the flat coat

I think YOGI the Viszla but they not even finished his group yet so who knows
