1. Norbury’s Sh Ch Bedeslea Pradasphere JW. Lagatto Romagnolo. This 2 ½ year old bitch was such a pleasure to judge and what a show girl.

Beautiful curls throughout her coat. A correct topline, which flows cleanly from her short neck with a sight arch. Feminine head of correct proportions and a kind eye. Moved freely around the ring and had such correct footfall from any angle.  BAVNSC and Group 1.

1. Forbes & Sladden’s Silvestre Pop Soda Pop at Canemamans. A really lovely puppy, this 10 month old w/c dog has a balanced outline being slightly longer than square. His long head has the correct proportions with divergent planes and pronounced occiput, with a melting expression and lean at the cheeks. He has a clean neck that flows smoothly into well laid back shoulders and has length to his upper arm. Correct topline and he has a good width and depth to chest. Excellent feet and bone. A well-muscled rear and a good bend of stifle, with the rear edge of his hindquarters almost straight. A slight slope to croup giving him a correct tailset, which he held correctly on the move.

1. Rowley’s Canemamans Final Say. Lovely feminine head on this 15 month old chestnut roan, which is long and narrow with correct divergent planes, long ears with correct set on.
