1ST 380 - Marsabit Celtic Harp (Ms M J Healey)

Lovely class of babies and I was spoilt for choice, it was headed by this very pretty bitch with dark pigment, good reach of neck, level topline. She has a nice length of leg with super bone with neat feet. Promising construction front and back. She was a little piggy for food and not the most co-operative in the handling department, with almost too much enthusiasm but she moves true when she finally settled.

2ND 363 - Auristela Singing Hinnie (Mr B & Mrs C Foster) Another lovely puppy shown in attractive pale coat. She has the darkest of pigment. Straight front legs level topline, nice angles front and back, moved out well. She had a day of seconds.
