quality and today full of mischief. Super head with a lovely dark eye and soft,
intelligent expression. Straight front with
well
laid shoulder, good forechest, spring & depth of rib. Has lengthened in loin
since I saw her last. Super rear, well-muscled with a good turn of stifle.

mate to the puppy winner and what a darling, and so naughty. Lovely overall
shape, feminine head with nice dark eye. Good length of neck into well laid
shoulders, good forechest and deep
well
spring ribs. Short deep loin & good rear angles. Did play up on the move which
made the decision for Best Puppy difficult and although he was more settled on
the move I was taken by her overall size, shape & breed type so awarded
her

I loved the outline and size of this 5yr B. Super head, broad but feminine, dark
eye with soft expression. Well-made front with a good lay of shoulder, level
topline, super depth and spring

Short loin to a broad muscular rear with good turn of stifle. Her straight
front, free true movement and shape won through to win BOB

Another typey B
of good size and shape. A 4yr Black B build along similar lines to the winner.
Feminine head and well-made fore and aft. Good spring and depth of rib. Moves
well but a little loose in her
front
right pastern which causes her to throw her paw out coming towards.
