Shiba Inu

Puppy 

1 31 SHIOMARU ESCAPE TO THE STARS GALVIKKI (IMP RUS) NAF TAF 6 month old boy, Hoping he has finished growing. Excellent coat and colour with good texture, overall good head proportions, nice expression with well shaped eye, although a little deep set. Good bite. Excellent cheek pads. Enough neck. Excellent body proportions and leg length. Would like more angle to shoulder but he has adequate length to upper arm. Moderate rear angulation with good length to hock. Big tail that was well set and carried at all times. It was when he found his stride in the final moment displaying energetic movement with ground covering action that won him BOB from the puppy class. Congratulations. 

Junior 

1 AKAI HANA KICHIRO (IMP RUS) 15 month old boy, of good type. Great texture to his coat and strong red colour but lacking some coat today. Strong headpiece with masculine expression. Good head proportions and shape to eye. Excellent cheek pads. Loved his lip line. Good ear size and shape but would like a little better set. Good bite. Well set and carried tail. Enough neck. Excellent leg length and proportions leading into good feet. Would like more rear angulation and definition to hock. A little short in upper arm which affected his movement coming towards. Overall would like more extension on the go around but he creates a balanced action. Would love to see him move in a grass ring.
