"My winner was the black Miniature Poodle male Ch Minarets Best Kept Secret. This is the result when breed-type, quality and prefect condition go hand in hand. A unique experience and I am really happy having had that. A masculine, well chiselled head with strong underjaw and pleasing expression. Elegant neck provides a noble carriage of the head. Short boy with superb substance, good forechest and ribcage.
Dry, elegant, well muscled, short body with correct tailset and carriage. Evenly angulated front and rear. A superb coat texture, dense, elastic, resistant to pressure of the hand, groomed to perfection. A great picture.
The movement was just to entertain the judge. The rarely seen dancing, original 'touching the daisies' movement with the typical, slightly hesitant was of putting the feet onto the ground only to the 'selected' right place. It all caused that proud, provacative carriage so sought after by us Poodle lovers! Goose-bumps! ate on BIS"
Dr Tamas Jakkel - Welsh Kennel Group Judge
"Here was a mature Poodle of the first order, demanding attention on entering the ring. Animals of this stature make it difficult to departmentalise; it just states quality. Moving it confirmed that balance, type and construction were to the fore in the overall mix. Excellent presentation was noticable"
Colin Reed - Border Union BIS Judge
"this is a dog whose character, style and super smooth ground cover demand attention. His shape and balance project the breed in stance and action. Close up he has a dry head with strong muzzle and a wicked glint in the dark well set eyes. Classic shoulder placement, no fet under the nose here. Prepared in full, immaculate coat, as one would expect from this kennel of consistent, clever breeders"
Patsy Hollings - Southern Counties BIS Judge
"Impressive profile, he displays correct breed characteristics and carries his clean well chiselled head with dignity and conveys a kowing expression, so honest in construction he moved out with style and with purpose, his black coat was superbly presented and the icing on the cake"
Stuart Mallard
"The six dogs were presented beautifully, but the eventual winner "Best Kept Secret" was stunning. He came into the ring with the attitude of are you looking 'am I not just the best' so full of himself with his typical head and the cheekiest of expression, pleasing balanced body and free flowing stride"
Sue Hewart-Chamber - SKC BIS Judge
"The complete package here. Such a perfect outline. Exquisite head and a true Poodle expression and perfect eye size, shape and colour. Good bone and feet. Mature in body. Well-toned rear. Super coat texture. Perfect presentation. On the move so true and steady he gave me goosebumps. Loved him and was very pleased to award him Group 1. So pleased to hear that he went on to win BIS, happy happy happy!"
Mark James - SKC Group Judge
"What can I say about this black boy? A Secret? But what a delightful secret! Well balanced and correct in all aspects. Beautiful masculine head and expression enhanced by good eyes, correct chin and detail. Lovely neck leading to well laid shoulders and upper arm angles. Lovely ribcage with correct topline, tail set and carriage. Good rear angulation and stands on lovely neat feet, a picture of absolute balance. In superb coat and condition. Presented to perfection and moved with reach, drive, power and precision - full of charisma and simply stunning. Just 2 days short of his second birthday this young dog is a great ambassador for our breed I feel. Pleased to award him the CC & BOB and delighted that he went on to win the Utility Group and then RBIS under two respected judges who appreciate good poodles. So pleased he was entered today ad how I wish he was mine!!"
BOB Crufts - Cathy Lawton Anderson
"Into the top spot today went the 22 month old black, Min Poodle, Minarets Best Kept Secret. Fabulous shape & outline, exquisite head, good length of neck, correct spring of rib, short strong back, firm in the rear with short, let down hocks & super body under his fabulous coat. Excelled in movement & was at one with his handler at all times"
G1 Winner - Dave Killilea - Redwitch
"lovely black with super head & eye, good short back, lovely neck & shoulders, super topline held on the move, good front and feet, he was on his toes the whole time, has such a super temperament, he has a great future ahead, CC"
Julie Warnes
"well named as, I gather, he had been seldom shown but came with the WOW factor! Such a happy, friendly personality, so well balanced & conformed all through with well angulated shoulders & quarters together with good feet, spring of rib & well set tail. Beautiful head & alert intelligent expression with long ear leathers. Holding himself with deserved pride, he moved with great impulsion, driving from his hocks & covering ground in profile. Surely one for the top! CC, his first, & BOB later, I was delighted to hear, shortlisted in the group"
