Best Puppy: Lockett-Walters’ Ralines Geisha Girl. BOB: Angear’s Ridgegrove Halle Berry. My general observations in this small representation were that coat presentation is on the up, teeth were clean throughout, elbows are still not tucked in, with either 1 or both in some exhibits, skulls have become broader with a rounder eye creeping back, and a waddling gait has developed.

Red narrower and taller type, but good strong mover, with a lovely bold defiant head carriage and oval eye. 3 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Gem of Nite.
