1st Fry’s Bedeslea Ticataboo.  Headed up by a lovely trio of bitches. I loved her shape and size. Pleasing feminine head of good proportions with breadth across skull.  Very well made front assembly, narrow, with correct spring of rib behind.  Level top line, good tail set and carriage.  Moved well when she wasn’t bouncing, true fore and aft with correct reach and drive in profile.  Turned on the style in the challenge to win BB and later Best of Breed.

 

2nd Light’s Moonreed Bella. 15mths. A touch longer in body than I was looking for but she has a pleasing head.  Well-made front assembly, correct spring of rib and level top line.  Very good rear angles and moves with drive. Coat at that in between stage at the moment. Handler has a tendency to overstretch her with makes her look longer than she is.  RBB
