More immature than 1, dark tri bitch, she has dark eyes, she has lovely long leathers, level head planes,still needs to develop in front, a little bit loose in elbow, has a good return of upper arm, moderate lay of shoulder, well sprung ribs, needs to drop in her rear but she has good width in thigh, high set tail carried proudly, she has good parts to her, she is just very immature and needs to balance out, will improve with time.
