Very smart typey youngster, good bones excellent shape to him, good length of skull, dark triangular eyes, slight stop, a well made front with straight forelegs and decent sized feet to him, ribs of fair length, short coupled, well bent stifle with strong low set hocks, moving he is sound, holds his topline and already signs of style, think he is quite exciting..BP

1. Holder’s Zendushkas Rolling Stone at Farakushk.

1. Dowd/Malia’s Ch. Saxonmill Mirror Image.

2. Hall’s Ch. Saxonmill Majic Mirror. Equally a top quality bitch, like one has excellent proportions,like 1 has a super expressive headpiece to her, firm top-line, deep chest, short coupled with defined pin bones, good croup with low set tail,well angled rear, lots to like about her, on the day just preferred the reach and lift of 1,she is a quality bitch full of breed type, two very nice examples and not easy to seperate, RBCC.
