SYD

1st BERNESGO SABURBAN

Upstanding masc dog. Would benefit from a little more leg length to level topline and pasterns could be firmer. Broad masculine head. Enough depth but would prefer a little more spring of rib and fill in front. Exc feet and bone. Exc coat texture and density. Uses his rear well on the move and has good reach and drive, could just be more level in topline but uses his tail correctly. Shoulder couLd be a little better laid

2nd SALENTUM TERRAE BALU

Taller rangier and more athletic in build to first. Masc head with broad flat skull and good ears, strong muzzle. Good feet. Front legs could be a little straighter. Needs to develop in rib cage and could be more compact. Croup a little flat and tail is carried a shade high. Long stride on the move but would prefer a less athletic look.

More together but needs to drop into herself a little. Compact outline good head and eye and bone. Nicely rounded croup just a shade bum high at the moment which should settle with maturity. Two nice puppies who will change places. Just prefered slightly heavier deeper look of 1st at this age.
