Slightly longer cast than my winner. This girl has the most beautifully feminine head. She has a good strong neck into well laid shoulders. She has good depth and width of chest, ribs well back and short loin. Correct topline and underline. Nicely presented. She moved soundly but was a little lethargic. |

A Beautifully presented bitch of 2½ years of age. Well balanced all through. Typical head with good eye and ear correct ear carriage. Dentition correct, clean and complete. Clean, strong neck into excellent shoulder placement and return of upper arm. Loin of good length. Deep chest of good width. Well made hindquarters. Coat of good texture. Moved soundly and accurately. She would have been my Best Of Breed apart from the fact that in the final run round, she acted up and her handler struggled to keep her movement flowing.

Another pleasing o/w, typical in head with good skull shape, expressive eyes and ears well set. She is solid and well constructed throughout with a well developed forechest, good bone and is well ribbed. She appeared slightly longer cast than my winner when stacked yet has correct width and slope to croup. Not as settled on the move as my winner today. |

Loved her head and expression, balanced proportions of skull to muzzle, strong neck well set into sloping shoulders, broad chest, impressive depth of body and well ribbed back, muscular hindquarters, good tail carriage, thick dense coat in wonderful condition. Needs to settle, but great to see her so full of fun, enjoying herself. Well handled. |

2 yr w/o who I found to be the best mover in the class, for me her head is just a tad less feminine than 2nd but she is sound in front construction with straight forelegs and good oval bone, and she is a fraction long in loin but carries a correct topline and is well muscled over the croup and on her hindquarters, her hocks are strong and well let down and she produced the best rear movement of those present today. |

On initial look I thought she’d win the class. Lighter in bone than 1st. Lovely head and gentle expression, large nose, good muzzle, good neck. Well laid shoulders, sprung ribs, moderate tuck, balanced angulation fore and aft, slightly flat feet. Hard to assess as unsettled on the move which cost her. |
