Junior Dog (4):

1st Harris’s ZARCREST AFTER BLEND – 12mth old parti colour with a stunning headpiece and dark melting expression. Superb chiselling below the eyes and lovely deep muzzle with the super ‘plushness’ that many are lacking currently. Stacked he presents a super outline full of breed type. Super body for his still young age, and he will only get better as he matures. Excellent substance throughout. Great arched neck of correct length and the best of fronts. Strong bone and compact feet. Short loin. Lovely rear angulation. Moving out soundly and effortlessly maintaining his topline on the move. Presented in top notch coat and condition. A joy to judge and award him the CC, which I was told was his crowing CC as an adult, a well-deserved title.

2nd Manser & Nelson’s NUJAX HAPPY HALLOWEEN – 14mth with an appealing head & expression but not quite the head of the winner. Correct eye shape and colour. Clean in outline. Good front, well placed shoulder with a good neck length. Nice spring of ribs of good depth, slightly longer in loin. Good rear angulation with well let down hocks. Firm in topline which he held on the move. Moving positively with style. Turned out to perfection. Just needs time to mature. RCC
