PB (5-2)
1) Thorn Andrews Drakesleat Scent Sybil, What a little star ! I had no hesitation in awarding this puppy BOB and BP. She had a beautiful classic head with dark almond eye and high ear set. Long neck flowing into well laid shoulder. Excellent ribbing, strong muscular quarters with good angulation, low hock. Lovely harsh coat in great condition. Moved well with level topline in a determined and showy fashion. Delighted to see that she also won the Puppy Stakes on the day.
2) Morris Fraulein Giselle at Briarlind, brindle bitch with correct head, good straight front, was a little tucked up and topline is a little too rounded. Moved OK.
3) Stargang Quintina at Pennywave
