Parallel movement both ends and good reach and drive, just needs time to mature as expected at this age.

2. Lennard’s Butterow Token – Nice puppy who is well put together with a good front assembly, and well ribbed back. Head has a nice expression and dark eye. Moves well in profile, just preferred the slightly more parallel movement of 1st.

1. Jones’ Newlin Preston to Clairdale JW – lovely tri boy who has a super head and expression and very sound movement. He has a strong neck leading into well laid shoulders, good spring of rib and short loin. Well angulated rear which at times on the stack looks slightly too angulated as he tends to sink into it a bit too much but on the move he uses it to such advantage. Completely parallel coming and going with good width and has excellent reach and drive in profile. Really smart boy who couldn’t be denied BOB today.

2. Hardisty’s Blunderhall Fleur Tayshuss – 3yr tri bitch who is a lovely sized girl with a lovely head and neck, well angulated shoulder. Balanced rear angulation. Moved well with excellent reach and drive.
