1. Rose’s BELDONES CLEMENTINE. How could you not love this 6 month old puppy making her debut in the ring today. Took everything in her stride. Still very raw but everything is there and developing nicely. Nice head with small tipped ears and dark almond shaped eyes giving a sweet expression. Good angulation front & rear. Moderate bone. Moved really well for her first time out and was handled really well BP PG4.

1. Rose’s UFFSPRING ULTRAVOX. 3yr old black tri dog. This dog stood out for me in the line up. Looked a picture in profile. Head & body in proportion. Well blunted, clean, dry head. Correct parallel planes between skull & muzzle. Strong jaw holding full set of dentition, in scissor bite. Level back with rise over loins. In full clear coat in fine condition. Moved really will around the ring. Powerful stride with plenty of drive. Looked like he could go all day. BOB. 2.Boyle’s BARRNCLOUGH TOUCH OF SILK. Good outline. Head in proportion to body. Preferred the size & set of 1’s eyes. Well arched neck leading into well angulated shoulders. Body slightly longer than tall with nice rise over loins. Moved really well around the ring. I just preferred the overall picture of 1. 3. Dix’s BARRENCLOUGH DIAMOND SKIES.
