Flower’s Breckamore Butterfingers Sh Cm Tri bitch Ample reach of neck, top line good, croup a little steep, but still carried tail well, Head a tad strong for me with good bite, used ears well, dark eye. Moved well away and towards, side gait showed ample reach.

Caulfield’s Blamorder Marvellousness Shame she was having such fun and not moving fluidly, she is build correct so this no doubt will come with more finesse and handling experience.
