4yo black bitch. Biddable with excellent temperament. Broad head set on strong neck. Good spring of rib and stands straight both from front and in profile.

3yo black dog. Good wedge shaped head in proportion to size, with kind oval eyes and neat ears. Strong neck with good length, set on to well laid back shoulders. Excellent length of upper arm and muscular front. Well sprung ribs and short coupled. Impressive when stood, but a tad untidy moving today on uneven ground. BOB.
