Puppy 

1st Sharples Kanietter Seraphina BP

2nd Sharples Kanietter Saphira 

Litter sisters who both presented a nice shape stood . Both had a level topline which they kept on the move . They both had good bone and stood on tidy feet . 

Seraphina just was more collected on the move today . Both went round the ring with lashing tails .

Special Yearling 

1st Poynter and Lewis, Cowboys And Angels 

Lovely orange belton male , who is masculine but still very elegant . He has a super outline stood . Level topline , good finish to his croup and balanced angles front and rear .

7 month puppy , he has a nice shape , deep through his chest and well ribbed back , decent finish over croup , good bone . Little bit unsure on the move BP

Special Yearling 

1st Cronow Cazooska Lily’s Gin Fizz 

Both boys are at the teenager stage , they need time to develop into their frames . As a slow maturing breed they do take time . 

1st had good width to his skull and masculine expression. On the move he was steady and good side gait .

This boy has good frame and strong bone . Just on the move he was not a straight and true as the 1st place boy today .
