Puppy Dog ( 9,0 Abs)
Majority of both the puppy dog and puppy bitch were dominated by 2 litters. One litter was 11 months old and one litter was 10 months old, both had a lot to offer and I’m sure they will change places often as they mature. The 11 month litter were very flashy whereas the 10 month litter were a bit darker

Well‑arched neck into correctly laid shoulders; straight front with good bone and tight, well‑padded feet. Chest yet to deepen and ribs need to spring which will come with age, firm loin and correct length of body giving the required slightly off‑square outline. Strong hindquarters with good width of thigh and well‑bent stifles. In coat of correct texture with good feathering. Moved freely and purposefully, holding his topline and using his tail correctly. Very typical youngster.
