Junior (4)

A very pleasing class of happy youngsters, a good portent for the future of a breed.

1st Harrison & Balls Corranroo Commitment. Mature 10 month dog with a pleasing outline. Classic head with a melting expression, of just the right proportions with plenty of brainroom. Clean neck, well set shoulder with a good return of upperarm, plenty of rib for a youngster, lovely red islands in a clear white background, firm topline which he held on the move. Just needs to curb his enthusiasm a bit but saw enough true footfall. RBOB BP PGrp 4

2nd Walkers Zendarric It’s a Kind of Magic within Wroxham. My notes say precocious baby and she is in the nicest possible way, full of character she will be interesting to watch as she grows on. Very pretty head with a kind eye and pleasing proportions. Well laid shoulders and broad rear show lots of promise. In excellent coat and condition she certainly enjoyed her time in the ring.
