Junior (1,0a)

1st Clark’s Harbethol Look Missminimee.

11 months blue roan bitch. Good size and shape with feminine head and lovely dark eye. Good neck and shoulders flowing to a lovely spring of rib. Well angulated front assembly. Short deep loin to correct rear angles. Loved her constantly wagging tail and correct movement once settled. Went better in the challenge and just preferred her overall shape to award BOB, BP, Group 4 and Puppy Group 2.
