Best and Reserve Best in Show

The Best in Show was the Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottzridge Celtric Princess (imported) which came from the Hound Group. The Reserve Best in Show was the Labrador Retriever, Linthwaite Centaurus of Zinzara (imported) which came from the Gundog group.

The judge was Steve Hall from the UK.

Winner of the Utility Group was a Boston Terrier, with the Reserve Group Winner being a Miniature Schnauzer. Both of these are imported dogs.

There was only one terrier entered in the show, a locally bred Bull Terrier, and it did not return for the group judging, although it would have been an automatic winner.

There was only one breed entered in the Toy Group and that was the Papillon.

The Working Group was won by a locally bred Boxer, and the Reserve Working Group winner was an imported Dogue de Bordeaux.

The Best in Show dog came from this Hound Group and is the Rhodesian Ridgeback Rottzridge Celtric Princess (imported). The Beagle (an imported dog) was the Best in Show winner under this same judge approximately 6 years ago and came from the Veteran class.

From the catalogue, I notice that there were only 4 puppies entered in the show. One Akita, 2 Rottweilers and 1 Bull Mastiff. All of the puppies are locally bred. Best in Show puppy and also Best Locally Bred puppy was the Bull Mastiff, Woodney Boots and Socks.
