1ST Lyckalotte Enzo Ferrari at Arkadian (Mr M & Mrs D Whateley) Mature 5yr dog who really shows himself off. Smart and accurate on the move holding a firm outline. Well constructed with good angulation fore and aft, well sprung ribs and correct length of leg. Handsome head of good proportions, dense pigment, dark eyes, definite stop and well set and carried ears. Correctly presented flocked coat. BOB. 

 Boxer  

Two lovely littermates won the two classes and there was little to separate them both built on such similar lines, presented in superb condition and with really appealing heads. Both had strong arched necks into good shoulders, straight front, short back with correct topline and strong, well angulated rear. Well proportioned heads, his masculine and hers feminine, lovely eyes, good upturn and chin, well set and used ears. Both moved well but in the challenge I felt the bitch was a little more together than her brother. Both have plenty of maturing to do but are promising puppies.

Moved well but just didn’t make as much of herself as I know she can which was a shame.
