Utility Group

Sincere Apologies, due to typographical error, I must highlight, Group Two was the Keeshond – Zandvoort Moonlight - same critique and not as named previously.

1 Risepark First Stage JW (Miniature Schnauzer). Good skull, stop, muzzle and nose, nice eye, good ears and head furnishings, clean neck, well laid shoulder, good rib and depth, very good legs and feet, good tail and well-developed rear, presented in good harsh coat, and moved with good smart action around the ring.

2 Zandvoort Moonlight (Keeshond). Another very good exhibit with good head eye and expression, good neck, liked the height to length ratio, with very good legs and feet, presented in very good coat and condition, well developed rear, has very good ring presence, and covered the ring with free striding action, holding a nice outline.

3 Ch Olijah Going In Deep JW (French Bulldog). Head square in appearance and of nice size, moderate size eye, good ears, strong neck, compact body, presented in very good condition, strong legs, moved with a free stride.
