Minor Puppy 16(3)

(1) Pascoe’s Candidals the Fire Starter.
A large class of puppies all at various stages of development. I am sure places will change, but this liver baby really pleased. Just 6mnths, nice size with growing still to do, a standard type with even spotting, correct front, pleasant head with spotty face, good feet and tail, he moved steadily. I am sure his owner will have fun with him BPD
(2) Rose’s Candidals Run Forest Run.
Liver litter brother to 1, and close up. Maybe a touch longer in back, clean outline and displaying easy showmanship for one so young. Well made with expressive head, good feet and movement.
(3) Christie’s Sophtspot Abracadabra.

Junior 6(2)

(1) Goff Leggett’s Washakie Nutcracker Prince,
Attractively black spotted compact youngster, well handled to show his many attributes, clean distinctive shape, head, eye colour, feet and tail are good. He is maturing well and looked a picture today, Steady movement.
(2) McCarthy’s Kilndandy Old Copper. Another lovely dog, built on clean lines, very eye catching liver spotting, has great ring presence, a joy to watch striding around the ring. Unfortunately carrying a little too much weight today thus spoiling the shape and line of his neck.
