Puppy

1st Kenoula Luciano BPIB BOB

I really like this young buff dog, just a baby but with everything in the right place for his age. I liked his head piece enhanced by a super eye. Super construction, shoulders well set and good neck, standing on well boned legs. Body of good proportions. Quarters developing nicely. Still a bit bouncy on the move but he is just a puppy, but I really fell for him, Best of Breed and Best Puppy.

1st Otterholme Underground RBOB

Smart bitch with a good outline. I liked her head piece, good width and short muzzle. Good front assembly, shoulders well placed, stands on straight legs. Body of good proportions, well ribbed. Super harsh coat. Held her shape and topline on the move, not as tidy in front action as the open winner so had to settle for Reserve Best of Breed.

2ND Rhozzum Jesse BPIB

Just a baby and at that in between stage at the moment but a lot of promise. Her head is feminine, short muzzle and breadth to skull, still needs to develop but will do that over time. Body of good proportions. Still needs to find her feet on the move but great to see a puppy enjoying itself. My Best Puppy and Puppy Group 4.
