Puppy (1)

1st & BP Yarrow’s Bonapartist Odile

What a cracker this young puppy is, loved her head with lively and intelligent expression, correct skull to muzzle proportions with pararell toplines, moderate stop with correct tapered muzzle, she was certainly full of life and exuberance. Medium neck with moderately sloping shoulders, needs to deepen through chest but ribcage well rounded, short back with strong loin, good topline, moderate bend of stifle. Well settled she showed a typical brisk gait. Will watch her future with interest.

Liked this quality young man’s clean and well proportioned head and keen expression, up to size but has a good length to height ratio with good angles fore & aft. Clean neck, with good length of rib, strong firm topline with well sprung ribs. Super bone and lovely feet. When he pulls it all together he presents a picture of power, stamina and balance. Plays up a bit on the move but showed moments of effortless ground covering movement holding a strong and level topline
