Post Graduate Dog 2

1. Mulligan’s Donocielo Mattia. 2 years. Square in outline. Masculine head, dark pigment and of a balanced size. Correct dentition. Good for neck, shoulders and chest. Secure topline. Well set tail. Rear angulation OK. In super coat and condition.

2. Whateley’s Arkadian Alfredo Ferrari. 21 months. Liked his small size and shape. Correct skull, ears well placed. Attractive eyes being round, dark and well pigmented. OK for neck. Well laid shoulders. Good for topline and tail. Perhaps could have a tad more chest. Good ribs. Presented in pristine white coat. Difficult to assess complete movement as was intent on sniffing the grass which was a pity. He was close up with 1.

1. Tower’s Enjanika Evening Emerald. Quality 4 year old. Super quality head. I liked her balance of skull, dark eyes giving such a lovely expression. Correct for muzzle. Lovely textured, white flocked coat, well presented. Body had good ribs. On the move she was a tad close behind. RBB.
