Puppy
1st Milligan-Botts Thendara Ice Crystal – A quality scopy young bitch with a super head, long and lean with dark almond eye, beautiful coat, good forehand angulation with sufficient forechest, middle piece yet to strengthen, the most glorious powerful rear quarters. Long reach movement, however needs to settle on the move to see the best of her. Best Puppy PG4
2nd Foxs Kerryfair Special Diamond – A well balanced bitch with a feminine head and dark eye. Good depth all through and moved soundly, could appear a little “flat topped” on the stack, but overall pleasing.
