At just 7mths this smart b/t presents a lovely outline when stacked, pleases in head/eye/expression, is well put together & neat all through, with enough forechest, good shoulders, ribbing & firm topline. Although still very much a baby, moved soundly & was well presented in lovely harsh jacket.
2nd: WEBB Suaisa Choccywoccydoodah

Very raw cloc/tan of 7mths & still very much a baby. Out of a smaller mould but all in proportion. Attractive head & expression with good furnishings, good neck, enough front & well angulated rear.Not relaxed on the move, however has a good stride.Still needing to grow on, needs more schooling.
