She has the desired balance with good strong bone. Her outline is excellent. Moved so well for a youngster, lots of drive & full of purpose. She was well handled & did exactly what she was asked. This bitch is a genuine prospect & she went to win BP on an agreed decision; 2 Houwaart’s Jecanibo’s Aayla Secura, classy b/br bitch, she was showing her head off & it is a beautiful head! Beautifully short & strong with a dark eye & keen expression. She has a little more length to her back & 1 had better overall balance, however she presents well. The red puppy beat her for overall balance; 3 Mignano-Fricker & Fricker’s Pantycelyn Just A Dream of Calavey, good size brindle bitch presenting a very strong picture for her age. Wide, straight well boned front. Not as well off in head shape & quality as the two in front. J (23) The winners in class were quality bitches who were difficult to split, however this class did not have quality in depth. 1 Davies’ Braunstaff Cannock Charmer, very well presented strong brindle bitch at the top end of the Standard, she was well handled showing off all her qualities to advantage & she is sufficiently balanced.

Y (20) Once again this class did not have quality in depth. 1 Van Den Broek’s Jazzygem No Fear, r/w pied, shown to great advantage. She has a sufficiently strong head with a really keen expression. Straight front with a short back & clear definition to her rib.

Her head is the correct shape & her expression is typical. I liked her overall body make & shape. She was slightly unsettled in the ring; 3 Elrick’s Canakey Strawberry Delight of Ruadonis, r/w pied bitch, beautifully balanced & moved with great drive & presence.
