BEST IN SHOW 2013 ROYAL HOBART SHOW under the esteemed Mr Andrew Brace (UK)
Ultimately the dog that ticked all the boxes for me was my Toy Group winner, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bitch Ch DAPSEN A BLONDE MOMENT. She had impressed me enormously in the breed where she glided through to a comfortable Best despite strong competition. As an example of her breed she is outstanding as she is of perfect size, has a beautiful head and eye, her colour is well broken up and her conformation is pretty much flawless. I love the fact that she has legs and so daylight underneath her, and therefore displays correct balance for the breed which is not always the case. Furthermore she was in optimum coat and not dripping in unnecessary and incorrect hair. However it was on the move that she really pulled it off as up, down and around her footfall was perfect and on the go-around she held her topline and tail perfectly, her head carriage showing that inherent class bestowed on all the great ones. Like all seven in the ring she was in beautiful condition, well muscled and shining with health and vitality. She made a huge impact and performed perfectly to the last.
