orange roan yearling dog, again balanced in muzzle to skull ratio, pronounced occiput and lean in head. Really lovely eye and expression, Liked length of neck and layback of shoulder. Topline gently rising over loin. Good sweep to stifle and strong in bone, feet could be more compact. Coarse coat and thick skin. Very exuberant on the move and maybe could benefit from a slower pace for now, to better demonstrate the typical pounding trot. I look forward to seeing him as he matures. RCC |

11 month old White and Orange boy with lots to like about him and much more mature than the other pups in the class. Good head. Well muscled strong neck into good shoulders and front and balanced hindquarters. Moved well. I just felt that my winner was more mature in body which gave him the more typical outline. |

Two very nice pups who will change places often. |

2 lovely puppies of different types both with bags of potential, loved this white and orange boy, clean head with super shape, good eye and soft expression, strong neck and well laid shoulders, straight front legs and strong slightly sloping pasterns, good rib for age, nothing exaggerated in his topline with a slight rise over his rump, liked his square shape when stacked and his angles behind, flowing gait when on the move and handled to perfection, I was pleased to award him the RCC in the challenge and BP |

A ten month old male looking leggy at the moment but so much to like about him. His attractive head structure follows correct planes, with a distinct occiput and proper muzzle finish, large eyes and melting expression. His shoulders are well positioned, with appropriate spacing between the blades and correct angulation in both the front and rear. He has excellent free movement and has such confidence for his age. Pleased to award him Best Puppy and will follow him with interest. |

A well grown pup who was so well handled and whilst I felt he looked a little leggy on the stack he also has so much to appreciate, head is developing nicely, eyes are large and open with a frank but kind expression, very good topline with slightly arch over the loin and long well muscled thighs, I really liked him on the move where he strode out with great freedom holding his shape. I wouldn’t want him any bigger but I look forward to seeing how he develops on. |

I am sure these 2 puppies will swap places many times in the future. He is an excellent example of the breed. A typical head with good planes, depth of muzzle and length and set of ear. A harsh white and orange coat on a thick skin covered a pleasing outline with a strong chest and evident breastbone. Very balanced front and rear assembly. Movement again will improve with age; I just preferred the expression on my 1st placed. |

Just seven months and litter brother to the winner of minor puppy, and at this stage much more together, I thought him really top drawer. Super outline on the stack. Head is smart, masculine and where it should be for his age, stills needs to come together but will do that as he matures up. Neck good into shoulders which are well laid back and set well apart and has a good return of upper arm. Stands on well boned legs and compact feet, well padded. Well made in body, correct topline and super quarters with stifles well bent. Moved out well, handled to advantage. Considered him for the RCC but today had to settle for Best Puppy. Please to see him later take PG3 – congratulations. I am sure he will have a bright future ahead of him. |

Appropriately named, this stylish boy has a good, masculine, well proportioned head, with a kind expression; he has balanced angulation and correct topline, which he holds on the move. At just 7 months, he is still a little loose and he has a lot of growing and developing to do but he is full of confidence and shows great promise. Reserve Best Of Breed And Best Puppy. Later, I was pleased to watch him take 3rd place in Best Puppy in Show. |

RBPIS, I shortlisted this boy for BIS and thought he would be my BPIS winner, well grown orange roan boy who impressed me with his overall type and construction, head just right for age with good eyebrows, moustache & beard already, strong arched neck into well laid shoulder, front legs straight down, hindquarters with well let down hocks, correct topline with slight rise over the croup, good depth and well sprung ribs, his movement was good coming and going and in profile he has super reach and drive, just not quite as together as BPIS which was the final decision but it was very close, I’m sure he will have a very bright future.

This w/o boy has a very sweet disposition. Lovely round eye which gave him a kind expression. Eye still to darken. Masculine head but a tad short in muzzle, however his depth of muzzle was excellent. His ears were a little broad and rounded rather than triangular. Short strong neck. Well boned, short in upper arm, but rear well angulated, clearly showing the tendon. Good coat and thick skin. Correct topline and croup, held his tail horizontally on the move which is always a joy to see. Feet a shade flat and he’s down on pasterns at this stage of development and this showed in his movement coming and going. He’s young so plenty of time to firm up. |
