Shame there wasn’t a puppy class as there were 2 lovely babies in this class who understandably were very immature against an adult male.

1. Lewis’ Luckhurst Paisley – Good head and neck, well angulated front and rear with correct topline. Moved well.

2. Maier’s Hyndsight Free Fallin – Loved this 7month old puppy bitch who is a super prospect for the future. Excellent head and neck, good front angulation, well bodied up for a puppy. Lovely rear which she really used well on the move. Moved exactly as she should for a puppy and I’m sure when mature will trouble the best. BPIB & Hound Puppy Group 3
