2 Urwin’s Aneeva Holly Berry Red girl with slightly broader head and fine muzzle, very dark eyes and excellent high set erect ears. Elegant neck and straight topline, short coupled. Not the angles of first. Good hackneyed movement but I would like more drive. 

Open (2)1 Chapman’s Vickstock I Love To Boogie: 8 month with so much to like from his long narrow head, almost flat between erect high set ears, a strong tapered muzzle all in ideal proportion to each other set off by black sparkling eyes. An elegant neck with a crest, straight slightly sloping topline, good forechest, short coupling, balanced angles and well set and carried tail combined for a picture of sturdy compact grace.

Pug

Delighted by the overall quality of this entry

Special Yearling (2) My notes said two peas from a pod and it turned out they were littermates

1 Mitchell’s Pigalle Cherryade: Very attractive large round head with well defined wrinkles, correct short muzzle and small ears. Large, dark round expressive eyes finished off an appealing headpiece. A thick neck, well sprung ribs, broad chest and short coupling produced a compact square dog with high, curled tail. Good angulation contributed to true ground coverage with a typical roll. A lovely type. BP & PG1

2 Mitchell & Crump’s Pigalle Absolute Cherry: Many of above’s attributes applied here too, just preferred the shorter coupling and stronger movement of first. 

Post Graduate (2)1 Mitchell’s Pigalle Cherryade – see Special Yearling

2 Mitchell’s Cherry Gelato Cedilla: The third sibling in a quality litter, again many of the salient points are repeated, this girl is just a little leggier detracting from her cobbiness 

Open (3)1 Cowie’s Ch. Afterglow Esther La Vista Megipugi JW An excellent headpiece, of good size and shape with short square muzzle, super defined wrinkles and small button ears. The eyes were large dark & round with the desirable, excited fire highlights giving a look could not be ignored. Solid thick neck held proudly flowed to well laid shoulders and solid legs. Well sprung ribs and a short coupling combined to produce a square cobby shape topped by a high set curled tail. Excellent rear angles and well let down hocks produced driving movement in profile which was true coming and going with a characteristic pug roll. BOB

2 Mitchell’s Cedilla Flowring Cherry JW: Another quality exhibit with good overall head and large lustrous eyes, not the femininity of first. Well off for rib and bone, good angles front and back. Steady solid movement but not the power of first. RBOB
