1. Reynolds’ Supeta’s Spelling Games with Tumainistar. 7 months, masculine head of good length with depth to his muzzle, dark almond shaped eye, strong well muscled neck, good shoulder assembly with some depth to his chest, firm top-line, straight forelegs of good bone with compact feet, he needs to strengthen in his hock for better movement going away although he was well muscled and fit. 2. Puttnam’s Rosebebe Golden Ember. Just 6 months, preferred the head proportions on 1 although he had good depth in his muzzle with well set ears and eyes, straight forelegs of good bone with compact feet, he had depth to his chest but felt he lacked the overall elegance of 1 and also preferred the body to leg proportions of 1, needs to settle all round for an improved overall picture.
