1. Mrs K Patterson-Rogerson, Kamarri Smarty Pantts Best of Breed, Wow this girl walked into the ring and caught my eye, jet back coat presented beautifully, what a pleasure to go over this bitch. A gorgeous head so well chiselled, good shape eye full of that poodle intelligence and attitude. Such a stunning outline which did not change when you got your hands into her, super proportions throughout, well-muscled perfect condition and on the move she just gave me goosebumps.

2. Mrs K Mcloughlin Graysorchard Chilli Bean Zantescwtch, A good coloured red male who is well muscled, on the move is where you see this come into action covering ground with ease. For me his head is a little to broad and not as refined as I would like but is in proportion.
