MPB

1st KAJOBOX BOOM BOOM POW AT BERWYNFA

Most difficult decision of the day. Really liked both of these bitches for different reasons. The winner has the most beautiful head and expression with clean skull and deep well tuned chin and slightly tilted nose. Exc neck, topline and depth and well filled in front for her age. She is still very raw but oozes quality and style. She moved well enough on the floors and would like to see her outdoors in a big ring. Exc bone and feet RBB BPB & BPIS

2nd NEWLAITHE CID

More mature but lovely outline and good substance. Exc neck and topline. She has a very nice head but just prefered head on 1st. Good bone. Feet could be better, exc depth and ribs and tail. Strong powerful mover for her age and really used herself from all angles. Will watch both with interest as they both have so many attributes.
