1st		Montecani Back To The Freezo (Freezo)	Davies	5 month old w/o, a raw baby but in keeping with his age. His head was lovely, long and lean with divergent planes, pronounced occiput and visible crest to the neck. Front and rear angulation were both good as were his bone and feet. His depth of chest is still to develop but fine for his age. Typical topline, sloping croup and his tailset followed the line of the croup. Once settled his movement was positive and he moved well for a baby puppy. Best Baby Puppy.

1st		Ilsolo Sniffed It Once	Bovio	5 month old b/r, a compact bitch with a well covered body which at the moment makes her head look a little small in proportion. Pronounced sternum and deep chest, well off for bone, good width all through, angulation front and rear was fine, a steady mover who won this class on her overall outline.
2nd	.	Benevola Stella Splendente	Quilter	4 month old b/r, another compact bitch with a body that was in keeping with her age. I preferred her head to 1 and felt her head proportions were slightly better. Good eye colour and a sweet expression, short neck, enough bone and nice round feet. Her chest was deep already and good width for her age. A nice harsh coat and thick skin, her movement was not as steady as 1 but she was giving a month away in age.

Square in outline with a very well developed chest in both depth and width, good bone and feet, harsh body coat and thick skin. He moved ok, carrying his tail nicely.

Good earset and length, strong neck and more developed dewlap than some. His forechest was good and his angulation was balanced front and rear.

He has good front and rear angulation, not as much bone as 1 but still enough and nice round large feet. Square in outline, not as much of him as 1 but everything in proportion. Really good movement, an easy relaxed trot and one of the few that tick tocked his tail on the move. A well deserved RCC.

2nd		Diggmere Tiger Swallowtail (JW ShCEX OSW)	Duncan	a larger w/o than 1 and a shade longer in body. A well built male with a typical outline. His head is of good length with divergent planes and a nice expression which would benefit from more furnishings around the eye area. A stronger head than 1 but in proportion to his size.

His movement was sound and true but felt he was lacking a little in oomph today.

Very nicely constructed, a pretty head with correct proportions, divergent planes, nice expression, good earset, pronounced sternum, well sprung ribs, maybe carrying a shade too much weight, a typical outline for her age, well off for bone, sloping croup and nice tailset, she has good width of thigh.

1st		Karankawa Happy Hatter at Cherrybower	Yarnley	it was difficult to separate 1 and 2 as they are quite different in type. This 21 month old w/o was squarer in outline and more feminine than 2. She had a nice head with divergent planes and a pleasing expression from eyes with good shape and colour. Pronounced sternum with good front and rear angulation. Would prefer more bone and larger feet but I felt her construction overall had the edge. She moved out well.
2nd		Stowledge Sahara	De Grave	an 18 month w/o who was larger than 1, her head had good proportions and was in keeping with her body. A shade longer in body than 1 but she is slower to mature so at a different stage of development. Her front and rear angulation was balanced, her coat was quite profuse which affected her outline when standing. She scored in bone and had nice large round feet, her movement was fine coming and going. I think she just needs more time to settle into her frame which I didn't see as a negative.

Large spongy nose, well defined occiput and visible crest to the neck. Her forechest is well devloped and she has balanced angulation front and rear. Correct topline and minimal tuck up.
