1. Paterson’s The Little Apple of Your Eye. Tri bitch of 2½ years, feminine head with dark eye giving that soft expression, moderately wide skull with defined stop, long well set ears, decent neck leading into adequately angulated front and rear although top-line could have been firmer, she held a nice outline standing and moving, could have more reach and drive on the move and be tighter in hock, in good coat and condition, handling could be improved, BOB.
2. Pocklington-Hall’s Bayard Bee Good. Tan/white male of 3 years, more compact and preferred his proportions to 1, very strong in head, dark eye, good feet and bone, decent angles fore and aft, tail could have been carried better on the move, today he wasn’t happy about being assessed on the table, showed some free steady movement on side gait when he settled.
