Veteran

Minor Puppy

1: WILES, Mrs S Richbourne Lion King, what a gorgeous yellow baby of 6 months, the most delightful head and expression, totally balanced in angulation and good to go over. He is square and solid even at this age. Moved out well with the correct carriage. Champion for sure

2: MILLS, Mr & Mrs Christopher & Claire LEMBAS CAPTAIN JACK, close up this black 6-month-old boy has all the potential in the world. He too has the most delightful head and expression, amazing coat and tail and he too is good to go over, just not as precise on the out and back today but I can see them changing places on more than one occasion, another title bound.

3: JOHNSON, Mr Gary & JOHNSON, Mrs Jean Cremino Celebrity

Puppy

1: SMITH, Miss Caroline Potterzuri Mister Pumbaa of Flyenpyg, yellow of 8 months, pleases for type and shape, just needs to body up and he’ll be away

I loved her and I sincerely hope she gains a very deserved title. CC & BOB
