2, Mrs L Adams, Tecklegarth Gatling JW. Masculine head with good carriage, shoulders & forechest forming correct front but just lost his topline on the move. Drives well from the rear.
JD. 5 (1) Miss C J Chambers, Cishelvine Just a Kiss with Hototo. This boy caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring! Strong head, bold and expressive, held proudly. Excellent shoulders with a sweeping keel, leading to deep ribcage. A short loin and a powerful backend completed the picture. I felt this young boy could work all day and then some! RCC.

JB.4. 1, J Clayton-Smith, Cairparavel Kiss From a Rose. Everything I was looking for! Strong, expressive head and eye, bold, but still ultra-feminine. Beautifully put together front assembly, which, when viewed from the front, presented the correct oval shape with tight elbows and well laid shoulders. Lovely sweeping keel. Steady topline at all times. Short loin and strong powerful backend with correct angles. When moving presented a beautiful picture, strong and true. With bitches of this quality, I have no fears for the future of the breed. CC, BOB & BJ
