BABY PUPPY DOG
1. Malisco Whatsit Toyou (D E & L J Grubb)
BM Gold, overall a pleasing shape, would prefer a little less length of loin, balanced head with dark eye, angulated front with good sized feet, well angulated hindquarters, held himself together on the move. Best Baby Puppy
2. Malisco What Else (D E & L J Grubb)
B&T, close in type to no.1, well balanced head and correct eye shape, well angulated fore and aft, not as good in topline today, free moving.

Good length of neck, correctly angulated and well placed forequarters with a deep brisket, but a little narrow in front with elbows held tightly in, topline a little loose, well angulated hindquarters and correct tail placement and carriage. Longer cast than no.1.

2. Affyghan Irresistable (C Graham)
Taller, brindle bitch, longer cast. Pretty head, with a dark eye, reasonably angled forequarters, topline off level, hindquarters well angled with hocks well let down, good tail with correct ring. She was a little too distracted to perform today.

A stylish black dog that has many pleasing features, including a smooth, springy gait. Clipped saddle. Size was the issue in the overall placings.
INTERMEDIATE BITCH
1. Calahorra Country Club (Japhia Knls)
A well coated cream bitch, deeply saddled, that has an ideal outline on the stack with good angles, long neck and a level topline. Head is very appealing with dark, well shaped eyes. Would prefer deeper brisket. Good sized feet and well let down hocks. Overall shape and sweep of hindquarters won it for her today.
2. Tahkira Strike Me Lucky (King & Ferguson)
A sound BM gold bitch with style and elegance. Lovely long head with gorgeous dark eyes and oriental expression. Long neck, well angulated forequarters with deep brisket. Would prefer more angulation behind. Good tail with correct ring. Moved out well with a smooth balanced gait. It was a very close decision in this class.
