Spaniel(Cocker)

Puppy 4/3

1)Anderson & Foster - Zakova Sundance 7mths Black d Merry, sturdy, sporting; well balanced and that’s exactly what I see. Nice square muzzle. Gentle expression but very on the ball.

Well laid shoulder and good upper arm, giving good reach of movement. Deep enough brisket and ribs going well back. Nicely rounded hindquarters moderate angulation giving good drive. Won the class by his enthusiasm and stamina. BP

2)Hutton-Baber - Esqueen Following Star at Babtonkelpie (Imp Pol) 10 mths b Blue Roan

Totally feminine compared to 1 who is totally masculine. It was a fine line between these 2 quality puppies. She has the perfect expression. Prettiest of heads. Balanced construction. Good angulations and return of upper arm. Lovely tight feet. Beautifully presented. Just preferred the drive on the move of the boy.
