Japanese Chin Junior (2, 0) 1st) Baranzeck’s Capevidles Chinook, very smart youngster just needing to drop into himself now and mature up in body but plenty of time yet; excellent head and eye, good forehand, excellent hindquarters & goes so soundly on the move; would not want any more marking on the body. 2nd) Baranzeck’s Capevidles Lemon Drizzle, 12 months & not quite so confident as her kennelmate yet; enough head and eye, ears a touch flyaway; firm topline & probably a bit more forward in body than her kennelmate, but not quite as ready yet on the move or on the table.
