1 Stephen’s Ravenho Looks Like Trouble For Brightmeadow, Black dog, 18 months old. An upstanding dog, not quite finished but maturing nicely. Excellent breed type and substance, there is a lot to like about this young man. He has the most classic Curly head and lovely expression. Lovely dark eye. Correct bite and good dentition. Good strong neck flowing into well laid back shoulders. Excellent forechest. Lovely deep chest with well sprung ribs, and a strong loin. Good angulation front and rear. A nice topline, held on the move. Excellent coat with tight curls. BOB
2 Evans’ Rowancurl Beachcomber, Black bitch, 2 years old. Lovely wedge-shaped head, dark eye and well-set ears. A lovely feminine expression. Correct bite and good dentition. Good length of neck into well placed shoulders and a good forechest. Nice angulation front and rear, and she’s well-muscled. Good topline, moved well. Clearly been out of coat which was just starting to come back in.

1 Evans’ Kukkasen Keita By Caballus, Liver bitch, 4 years old. This is an elegant bitch, with a lovely feminine head and expression. Correct eye colour. Correct bite and good dentition. Good length of neck, flowing freely into well laid back shoulders. Would prefer a little more forechest. She has a lovely top line flowing into a nice tail set. Strong well-muscled thighs and nice rear angulation. She moved out well with drive, maintaining that top line and tail carriage. Nice neat feet. Lovely liver coat with tight curls.
2 Spraggins’ Tusepo Amazing Love, Liver bitch, 4 years old. Such a lovely head and kind expression. Nice dark eyes. Good length of neck with well laid back shoulders. A good forechest. Good depth of chest. Well balanced outline, with nice angulation front and back. Nice top line and tail set. Dark liver coat with tight curls. Just not happy with herself today and didn’t show herself off to her best.
