Junior 

1. Nuttall, Miss H C. Tumbledale Snowdrift. 17-month-old female presented in excellent condition and handled well throughout. Correct outer coat which is harsh to the touch and of good length with soft close undercoat. Skull broad flat and square, good strength to muzzle, moderate stop, nose large and black with good pigmentation throughout. Eyes large and set wide apart with a kind soft expression, good arch to eyebrows, ears of correct size, medium. Complete scissor bite. Muscular and slightly arched neck. Chest deep, ribs well sprung with good length of back, shoulders sloping well back. Forelegs straight with good hair coverage. Hindquarters, muscular with well-defined second thigh, good bend of stifle and hocks well let down. Correct onset of tail, low, and carried correctly. Movement not as long reaching as I would like. BOB

2. Moss, Ms D. Kiltondale Crystal Gayle. 18-month-old female of good proportions, she is balanced throughout and presents a good overall picture. She has a harsh long outer coat with a soft under coat. She has many qualities required for the breed and she pushed hard for first place, unfortunately, on the day her handler appeared extremely nervous, overhandled and lost her the class.
