Junior D/B – (2).

1st Short; Ferndel Fire Gem at Toftwood. 14 month old bitch with a pretty feminine head of correct proportions, clean neck into well laid back shoulders. Good front angulation, chest needs to deepen and ribs to spring but this I am sure will come with maturity. Correct tailset and good rear angulation. Overall a very well balanced bitch I would just prefer a little more of her all through.

2nd Prociak-Zakrzewska & Zakrzewski; Glenbrows Local Hero. 11 month old male at only his 2nd show, a very merry boy with excellent temperament. Good head proportions and nice eye. Not as balanced as 1 in the body and looks to be going through a growing spurt so this could change as he matures. On the move he covered the ground well but front movement needs to tighten, once again as he matures this should improve. BPiB

Post Graduate D/B – (2).

1st Yacoub; Laithmoor’s Red Grenadine JW. 2 year old male with good head proportions, nice dark eye, strong neck into well laid back shoulder, deep chest and good spring of rib for age. Strong over the loin and a nice round bum. Good rear angulation. Moved with drive with good front foot placement. A little close behind initially but improved once settled. BOB

2nd Phillipson; Menstonia Meteor. Almost 2 year old male, such sound construction on this boy, excels in head shape with good ear set and a nice kind eye. Strong, long neck into well placed shoulder, deep chest, nice compact body, strong throughout. Very close decision between these two but lost out to 1 on movement on the day, giving his handler a hard time and not really settling. Given time he is a great prospect for the future. RBOB
