JUNIOR Entries 5 Absent 1

1)Blake S. WILCHRIMANE FLOMOTION FOR SANDBEARS

13month old O/W bitch, pretty head with well-shaped dark eyes, neat ears which were well placed, clean arched neck would have liked a bit more fill of chest but only a youngster and has enough depth for her age. Well angulated hindquarters and good tail which she used well on the move.

2) Gordon W HAWKFIELD BETWITCHED

17month old O/W Bitch. A different type to 1 but I loved her outgoing attitude. She has a balanced head with a kind expression, to be critical would have liked more flew. Long muscular neck with good depth of chest with plenty of heart room. Correct oval bone and feet which were well cushioned. Well -turned stifles and muscled hindquarters which enable her to move with great drive and enthusiasm.

1)MacManus Mr N & Mrs M. FREEBREEZE GERTRUDE STEIN AT LUNEVILLE

13month old B/W Bitch.3rd in previous class. Pretty head with good definition, dark eyes. Clean neck and shoulder. Correct proportions through and balanced. To be critical would prefer a shorter tail. More settled on the move in this class.

2)Gordon W. HAWKFIELD BLACK COMEDY

16month old B/W Bitch. A much more compact bitch to 1. Balanced head with thin leathers, long sloping shoulders with good return of upper arm. Well-muscled hindquarters and neat tail. Today she was unsettled on move but used her tail well lashing from side to side.
