PUPPY (3, 2a)
1st Cox’s Temelora Looks like an Angel. Very aptly named 11months r/s/w bitch. Extremely pretty and dainty, she has a lovely head and expression, with medium sized, rounded eyes, framed by large ears which are well set with rounded tips. Well laid shoulders and straight front with hare feet, level topline, good tailset and hindquarters. Moving well.

JUNIOR (2, 1a)
1st Urquhart’s Blackpark Patricia, also 11months, this beautiful r/s/w bitch was the most mature of the puppies. Has a lovely head with symmetrical markings and dark, expressive, rounded eyes. Medium neck and very good front and hind angulation, chest already quite deep, her level topline and balance enhanced by her tail, which is set on high and correctly arched beautifully over her back falling into a plume. Her movement is positive, light and flowing which, together with her correct outline, and already flowing silky coat, makes her look really lovely in profile action. BP and delighted that she won the Toy Puppy Group.

YEARLING (2, 1a)
1st Petty’s Feorlig All You Need is Love at Goldenmist. A very attractive dog with a lovely temperament. Very nice head with large, well set ears, medium rounded eyes and intelligent expression, good front with hare feet, level topline, good tailset and strong hindquarters, moved well.
