2. Hukin’s Renkiss of The Spiderwoman. Just a youngster, black bitch, I liked her shape, she is a little round in eye, balanced head proportions, straight forelegs, ok feet, has depth to her chest but she is raw so she needs to fill out in the middle with her ribs but she has a compact body, slightly drops off in the croup but has good tail carriage to her, well angled rear, once she settled had steady movement, will improve with time.
