1st: 1107 DUNHILL-HALL, Miss M Vormund Jujutsu Kaisen a smart 6-month-old who is of pleasing bone, body, size and appearance. Good-looking head though would prefer to retain slightly higher set ears which, for me, would improve his expression. Attractive dark eyes both in size and shape. True front which I preferred to 2nd. Well-developed in body with firm, level topline and relatively short loin. In side profile he is pleasing in overall conformation, balance and proportions. Brisk and active in movement.

2nd: 1123 LOGAN, Mrs V R Miamilady Olaf a well grown 8-month-old young male, satisfying in appearance, being of good size, well boned and bodied. Smart, breed typical head set onto a well-shaped neck into a well-developed body which is slightly longer and heavier in look than 1st. Front ok but could be tighter in elbow, pasterns are nicely sprung. Firm in body with pleasing ribbing, spring and depth. Moved with plenty of confidence but could be more settled in action.
