SB D/B (5)

1) Chester's, Squidylannes Dreamer. Well presented bitch with good length to height and good bone. Needs time to strengthen and develop but she is very young. Clean feet and sloping pasterns, settled nicely on the move. BSB

2) Jackson's, Terrablue Spirit. Raw puppy bitch with a pretty expression, dark blue coat and good feet. Played her handler up on the move but lovely to see her enjoying her day.
