Good neck, shoulders, spring of rib and tail carriage. Moved soundly with a free, confident gait.   2. Santoriello’s Collypins Tell Tallulah for Pinicio. (Min Pin) 11month b/t bitch who was determined to play her handler up so really didn’t make the most of herself! Her sound construction and nice breed type was obvious and when she had her mind on the job she moved well.  3. Ciumakovaite’s Baltijos Triumfas Angela Crème Elite. (Pomeranian)   4. Collins’ Vivaprima Ferrari Black Star (Imp Lva). (Russian Toy)I believe this was the first of the breed to gain a group place in the country having only been able to compete for a couple of days! Small and square with fine bone, good length of leg, correct underline and moderately angulated rear. Pretty head with dark eyes, large ears, definite stop and short, pointed muzzle.  Unfortunately the cold equestrian centre didn’t really suit this sweet baby but once she got going she moved well with the correct tail carriage.
