1ST - Arashimaru Go Matsuoka (Mrs Pp Buchalska) – at 13months this boy is well filled out. He would benefit from muscle development and little show condition. He has a well-shaped head; his ears were correctly set thick and slightly hooded following the line of his neck. He carries a good dense undercoat and a richly coloured topcoat finished with a tightly curled tail. The building blocks are there.
