OB (2,0)

1. Davani & Pott’s Kebulak Plum Pudding. Two nice bitches challenged here and this 2 yr old came out on top. Happy showgirl who made the most of herself at all times and was so good to go over. Compact in outline and carries good bone. Excellent neck, firm level topline, deep brisket, short in the couplings and tail set on high. Feminine head yet with strength and desired keen expression, ears good for both size and set, slight stop and very good pigmentation. Good angles front and rear and stands well naturally in front. Moving freely and with attitude. Best Bitch & BOB. Delighted to see she later went on to win the Group.

2. Davani & Potts’ Kebulak Killer Queen. Another 2 yr old who has so much to like but not quite as mature as winner. She pleased for type and is well balanced with strong, reachy neck, level back, good depth to brisket and tail correct for both set and carriage. Pleasing head and expression but not quite skull of winner, excellent eye and ear and powerful foreface. Soundly constructed and moved well when viewed from all directions. Soft, silky jacket. Reserve Best Bitch.
