JD. 1st Memorylane Emotions In Motion For Ravenswyre. Super young dog to start the day. Excels in outline with ideal proportions. Strong square, flat skull with good strength to muzzle and underjaw. Dark eye giving soft expression. Strong neck. Well let down in chest for his age. Balanced angles. Holds his topline firm at all times. Moved out very well with a good depth of stride. Low tail carriage. Excellent junior coat beautifully presented. An exciting future ahead, I think. Best Junior.
2nd Strufingill Maverick At Barkenbear. Another promising young male. Pleases in head, eye and expression. A touch short in neck and could be better laid in shoulder. Super topline. Correct ribbing. Excellent rear quarters which he used to full advantage, driving well around the ring.
