1 – Gray-Stephens’ Jaudas Lets Dance. Nice young bitch just 22 months. Pleasing head, would prefer darker eyes. Nice depth of chest and correct sloping topline. Well turned stifles, slightly longer in hocks. Strong bone overall. Just a little long in loin however held her topline on the move. Best mover of the class.

2 – Dunsmore and Dunsmore’s Jaudas Kind of Magic. Nice young dog just over 2 years old. He just needs a little more time to mature. Nice broad head, sufficient layback of shoulder, would prefer more forechest. Ribs deep with good depth of brisket leading to a nice tuck up. Plenty of coat but finer in bone than 1. Sound on the move just preferred the move of the 1.
