2 Horne - Chanceinn’s Next Please – 16 mth old gold/sable/white girl who was of the same stamp as my class winner and much of the same comments apply.  Needs to mature in body and needs more headcoat but won her place on her strong rear driving movement over the other exhibits.  Coat well presented.
