PUPPY DOG (2/2)

1st: Holley & Holley COTON SYNOPSIS AKUTAGAWA (IMP AUT) Promising pup who should have a bright future. Correct shape & size. Good & well presented coat. Lovely head with correct eye, ear placement & bite. Correct dark pigment. Correct topline and good lay back of shoulder. Correct tail set & carriage. Once he got going, moved true. Did well to cope with the windy conditions at his first show, but clearly attracted by all the scents on the grass so did not make the best of himself on the day.

2nd: Ingram-Forde MAJESTICOTON DUKE OF YORK Body shape correct, and tail set good. Head balance correct, however bite not as good as one, and poor pigment. Well coated for age, although coat would have benefitted from more attention. Difficult to assess movement as unsettled, but this also may be due to the conditions.
