1st: 1102 PATTERSON, Miss Sarah Kayarrach Barking At The Moon At Ashoka

Another nice style of male with correct bone , lovely rich well presented coat . Head well balanced with good pigment . I would like him standing on better feet and more strength in his front pasterns . Didn’t seem so happy today and a little distracted . This reflected in his movement   and pacing didn’t help .

Very much still a baby , the size and bone is correct for her age . Head well balanced with good pigment and eye colour . Moved very soundly in all directions with correct tail set . I would like to see her with more confidence but this will come with maturity . More could be done with presentation .

# this was a entry transferred from another class # 

1098 Marvilla  Da Ponta Da  Pinta . 

A different style of bitch who is actually quite sound all through but her handler could really do more with her . Head handles well but spoiled by a light eye . Very nice character who is happy to please but needs some ringcraft and some weight off she would be a completely different bitch 

Class 549 OB (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 1101 MCKINLEY, Lady Sally & JOHNSON, Mr Anthony & HALL, Kayarrach Wish Upon A Star. 

What a stylish sound bitch , this is what i was looking for . Top quality example , standing on good feet , excelled on the move and her clever handler really brings her to another level especially on the move . In wonderful coat and condition , My pleasure to award her Best Bitch and Best Of Breed
