Critiques; Puppy. (7 ent, 3abs) 1st Mason Mrs. S Mavistan Rambling Rose Through Nosam A beautiful pale coated bitch aged exactly 12 months on the day. She caught my eye as soon as she entered the ring. She has the sweetest feminine head with a gentle, pleasing expression accompanied with super dark pigment and dark eyes. She has a correct scissor bite and a good length of neck flowing in to well laid back shoulders. She is very well angled front and rear with good muscle tone and a nice spring of rib with a level topline and correct tailset which she carried on the move. Overall she provided a beautiful picture of balance and I was delighted to award her Best Puppy. 2nd Barron & Jenkins Mr.J Ms.C Rannaleroch Cotton Spinney A well bodied pale coated boy at only eight months old he has a large frame to fill.

On going over him I found him very calm and biddable at only eight months he wasn’t fazed by anything. He is well angled front and rear with a good bend of stifle and a level topline. He was nicely handled and moved out with confidence. 3rd Pratt Miss. T Rosyth Jennifer Eccles Res Barron Mr.J & Jenkins Ms. C Rannaleroch Cotton Reel Junior.
