Next at 4,000gns, from Tony Birkett, Carnforth, was a two-year-old red and white bitch, Jess, by Kevin Evans' red Spot, which sold to Martin and Val Brown, Leyburn. Ìý

Selling for 3,800gns was Mist, a June 2020-born tri-coloured bitch from Michael Woods, Skelmersdale, which was bought by M. Lewis, Sanquhar.
