Fantastic entry both in quality and numbers.

MPD (6)

1. Sturrock's Forfarian Catch me if you can. Lovely dark coated puppy. Good head which still needs to break, well boned, good topline and tailset. Moved freely.

2. Rances Mayfred Mr Magnifico. Smaller type of dog but has good balance, fine head, dark eye, best of feet and front - again moved well for his age

3. Barker Bells Ballintyn e the Continental.

PD (10)

1. Lewis's Deaconara Danse De Bleu avec Dotcomsetter. Very mature pupply for his 10 months. So well balanced. Already has a masculine head, dark eye, strong firm topline. Good bone and feet, lovely dark coat of good texture, well ribbed and has good angulation. Moved very soundly. Best puppy dog and BPIS.

2. Ostman's Coppers Magiska Under. Very different in type but a lovely puppy. In excellent coat and condition. Finer in head than 1, straight front, good shoulder placement, ribbed well back, well bent stifle and moved very freely. Unlucky to meet 1.

VETERAN DOG (3)

All three were a credit to their obviously caring owners.
