Puppy.

Thorne Mrs L.D. Schipdale Mystique. Beautifully presented young female of 8 months. She stands well, is small and well proportioned. In head she has good balance, skull flat with good width, Muzzle is moderate ending in a little black nose. Her eyes are dark and of correct shape giving her that most intelligent of expressions. Complete scissor bite. Ears moderate and erect. She has a short neck with a slight arch leading on to well-placed shoulders where her neck broadens. Shoulders developing well and set correctly. Forelegs are straight and set well under her body. Chest is developing nicely and has sufficient width and depth at this age. She is short in back with good straight topline which she holds well on the move. Her hindquarters are well rounded with muscle tone developing nicely. Hocks well let down and straight. Her tail is carried in a tight curl and well over her back. Now her coat is changing however it is clear she has the correct harsh texture with clear demarcation forming around her neck to form a mane and frill. Her culottes are also very clear on her thighs. On the move she did not disappoint with short brisk strides both true coming and going.

Post graduate.

1. Manners & Scales Mrs B & Miss L. Roopec Just One More. JW. 2-year-old female presented in good condition, well-toned and in good coat, harsh to the touch and dense with good clear mane and frill. Her overall appearance is that of a small cobby dog, however, she is longer on the leg and in hock than I would prefer. She has a good expression, lively and alert with a typical foxy expression. In head she has good overall balance with correct width to skull which is flat with a small amount of stop. Good length to muzzle. Under her dark oval eye, she has good infill. Ears of moderate length carried erect and forming a point at the tip. Nice short neck slightly arched and set broad at shoulders, which are set with good slope. Legs under body and straight. Good breadth of chest and well let down. Back short. Hindquarters well muscled. Tail carried well over back. Moved true fore and aft.

1. Rollinson & Manners Mrs M. & Mrs B. CH. IRCH Summerhaze Shafran Among Chadbower (IMP RUS) IR JCH. 4 year old female of quality, she caught my eye as soon as she stepped into the ring. She is very much of the breed type being small and cobby with that typical fearless attitude. In good coat which is harsh to the touch. She has good width to skull with minimum stop, with correct muzzle length. Eyes dark and have good amount of infill underneath. Pleasing erect ears set well sufficiently broad at the base. Scissor bite. Short strong neck with clearly defined arch. Front assembly is correct with good straight legs, held well under her body. Shoulders well set and muscled. Chest has good width and depth which when viewed from above gives that required pear shape. Back short and firm with good muscle tone and well-developed thighs. Feet correct. When moving she did so with a lovely brisk short stride covering the ground with ease. I was pleased to award her BOB.

2. Manners Mrs. B. C. CH. Chadbower Nevaeh Lahetti VW. Another quality female of 8 years and in good condition albeit carrying a little extra weight. She shares many of the qualities of 1, being very similar in type and construction, and certainly pushed hard for 1st place.
