Lovely 8mth old bitch. Exquisite head, lovely raised brow, nice finish to foreface, straight front, and good neck leading into a good layback of shoulder. Good topline, nice spring of rib and good depth to chest. Good width over the quarters, good bend of stifle. Well balanced all over for one so young, moved steady and true. Stood on good feet. BP & PG4 well done.

Great spring of rib, good depth to the chest, strong loin, good over the quarters, great bend to stifle, good width to second thigh, short rear pasterns which she used to drive herself on the move, lovely tight feet.
