Lisa White helped me with Rita who was Reserve Best of Breed and got a Reserve Challenge Certificate.  Only one Challenge Certificate is allocated to each sex of the breed, and Rita and Raps are both females.

Calliope Rita is on the left and Ch. Calliope Rhapsody C.D. is on the right.

Steve Hall critiques of them were:

Calliope Rita: Stood foursquare and very forbidding, has lots of presence, nothing offends, lovely head piece nice flat skull ears on top, dark eyes, strong thick set neck, compact and well ribbed, excellent rear, lovely jacket, lost out by not giving enough on the move, both these bouviers  coming from a Dogsfarm line, these are the quality you come to expect. RCC & RBOB

Ch. Calliope Rhapsody C.D.  Another example of quality this bitch catches your eye for her outline and correctness on the move, very firm in topline, not quite as compact as other, lovely head again with the same qualities as above, carrying a good quality jacket, gives more on the move. Same applies to this bitch as the other. CC & BOB
