A feminine head, lovely dark round eyes with a keen expression, well developed cheek muscles and strong foreface. Strong neck flowing into a well held firm and level topline, good depth to the brisket and width in front. Liked her hindquarters, good width of thigh and in lovely condition. Showing good drive on the move - BP

2. Mr & Mrs Hammond - Hammystaff Love Bomb

What a lovely babe, red & white pied bitch at just 6 months and a couple of days old. And her litter sister was 3rd. Both coped with the dusty, noisy surroundings fabulously. Of a different stamp to the winner, but with many fine qualities. She has the most lovely well developed body, strong and impressive but still retaining her femininity. Having a balanced head piece, good width to the backskull, and strength to the foreface. Good width in front and well filled in. Not quite as firm in topline as winner as yet, and in the excitement carried her tail a little higher.
