1. Cunnah’s Coppertails Just Peachy – 7 month bitch, good head on this young bitch, with correct bite, correct ratio of muzzle to skill with clear furrowing. Strong neck leading into well angulated front with plenty of width. Good ribbing, moved well with a balanced stride. Preferred her rear to 2nd. BPIB

2. Gaughan’s From Who I Am Kalin Red Beauty Bordeaux (IMP NLD) – 6 month old bitch at her first show, taller than 1st without the depth to body as yet but this should come with time. Correct bite, good chin but slightly longer in muzzle than ideal. Moved well for one so young but would prefer a little more angulation behind.
