Junior (3)
A lovely class of quality youngsters.
1 Stead’s Firecurl Firefly, Black bitch, 7.5 months old. Unbelievably, it was this young lady’s first show, and yet she conducted herself with a degree of maturity that was most appealing. Lovely feminine head, correct wedge shape, with slight stop and in proportion to her body size. I loved her feminine expression and lovely dark eyes. Correct bite and good dentition. Neat ears. Lovely length of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Good forechest for age. Good depth of chest for age, body and muscle developing nicely. A lovely level topline and tail set. Nice angulation front and rear and so well balanced. Lovely neat feet. She had an excellent coat of tight black curls. She moved out well, with such elegance and confidence for one so young, showed good extension and drive, and held that lovely topline. RBOB & BP
2 Clinch’s Roughyeds Regal Fairbanks At Schwarzmoose, Black bitch, 9 months old. Another lovely young lady. Lovely wedge shaped head, feminine expression and dark eye. Correct bite and good dentition. Neat ears. Good length of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Good bone throughout, nice angulation front and rear, nicely muscled for her age. Nice forechest and good depth of chest. Lovely topline and tail set. Neat feet. Excellent coat of tight black curls. She moved out well with drive, maintaining that top line.
