1st Leech; Mileoak Utah Beach; 7-month-old dog, Landseer with black head markings, saddle and rump, head needs to broaden slightly but correct for age, good length of neck well placed shoulder with enough depth of chest at this stage, good rear angulation.

RBOB

2nd Popple; Mileoak Wishing On A Star; 13-month-old bitch, loved this girl overall shape and very similar to first but just not the breadth of head as first and just didn’t move quiet so positively. Sure to swap places when they mature.
