POINTER

P D/B (4,0). 1st Brooksmiths’ Millpoint Golden Pippin, prettiest of heads on this 8-month-old baby, cracking curvy outline which is hard to overlook, liked her for her overall balance & elegance, for me she has everything in the right place but needs time, stepped out well with her handler, one I shall watch with interest.

J D/B (1,0). 1st Taggs’ Oiyou Double Espresso JW, Stood alone but what a lovely picture this one presents. Very feminine head, moulded just right with super dark eyes & a cheeky expression. Good lay of shoulder & return of upper arm, deep throughout with plenty of heart room, correct length of loin. Moderately angled hind quarters with super second thigh which enabled her to power effortlessly around the ring holding a lovely topline, all finished off with the neatest of feet and wagging tail.
