1. Benussi’s Merdelaines Chimney Sweep. Nicely proportioned dog, equal head proportions, good nose, a little flat in skull and could have a little more definition of stop but has some width in skull, moderate neck, has straight forelegs, needs to develop in chest, rib and body to fill into his frame, top-line is a little flat, moderate rear angulation, good tail set, positive mover in profile, just a little bit close in the rear, coat texture is harsh in places but will improve with maturity.

1. Gould’s Merdelaines Instaglam. Just 6 months old and a real baby but she has a nicely balanced head, has good strength of muzzle and some underjaw already, equal head proportions, moderate stop, excellent straight forelegs with big feet, clean neck, nicely put together with good angles front and back, already has some rise in her top-line, she has lovely low set hocks, very collected on the move, still obviously in puppy coat and lots to do but for such a baby she takes it in her stride, lots of potential and will be interested how she develops.
