1. Knowles Sarawana Dragonfire Rising, 8 month old red and white bitch who is litter sister to the puppy winner, today her and her handler decided not to work as one so wasn’t putting on her best performance. She is very similar to her sister in construction, where she really showed what she had was on the move demonstrating the long and swinging stride.

1. King Dicaprio At Santantoni (imp Ltu), this excitable 16 month old male had a great time in the ring, tall and narrow in appearance, head with flat skull and prominent occipital, decided today he didn’t want to use his ears, moderate length of neck, long straight legs, steep shoulders, correct chest proportions, couldn’t really assess his movement but on the couple of steps he did take I could see he had the required suspended trot.
