Judge Caroline Creese (Non Selfs) writes: The Marked and Ticked Challenge were as follows: 1. and 2. April Barr with two very good Black Himalayans, i had great difulculty deciding between these two, as i liked both of them for different reasons, Although the boar was behaving very badly, i decided in the end to choose him because on the day he had a lightly more evenly shaped smut. 3. 5/8 Black Tan, R Wallis, good belly, not at all brassy, good pea spots and side ticking and well groomed. Again i had to deliberate between this exibit and a Chocolate Agouti from Di-L-Emma stud, fine even ticking and rich, even colour and well presented.
