Junior Dog or Bitch (1 entry)

1stStrevens TOLLISTY YOU CAN'T DECLINE
14 months. I love his compact size and balanced proportions, with good angulation all around. Lots of bone and substance, strong pasterns, shoulders well laid back. Moved with reach and power, held his topline, with excellent tail set and carriage. Rich colour and classic markings, coat in super condition and good feathering. Very appealing head, alert expression with kind almond eye, good length of muzzle and ear placement ideal.

1stElkin TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC
3 years, larger type of substance with good bone, perfectly balanced all round. Looks superb in outline standing and on the move in all directions. Correct angulations front and rear, so he drives with power from behind, with a flowing ease of movement and no exaggerations. Deep chest and well sprung ribs for lots of lung room coupled with a strong neck, broad skull and strong jaw, making him very fit for purpose. Tail carried high with fabulous feathering, eye colour complementing his rich coat and well placed ears giving a kind and pleasing expression. Hard condition, neat feet and a presented in a super double coat presented and very well schooled. BOB, RBIS
2ndBarker SH CH EUSANIT SILVR DREAM MACHINE
5 years a medium sided dog, compact and balanced all round. Has a strong head and jaw with almond shaped eye, darker than 1, alert and kind expression. Deep chest and medium neck, well muscled, an excellent double coat, rich colour with lots of feathering, presented neatly. In profile has a jaunty confident movement with good reach, his fabulous tail used well making him stand out in the class. He has a great partnership with his handler, and clearly enjoys his showing.

VHCStrevens SH CH TOLLELKIN CAIFE GAELACH AT TOLLISTY
3 years and litter sister to BOB. Quality bitch, in proportion with correct angulation throughout, strong loin, good spring of ribs, moves correctly all round with purpose, covering the ground. Correct tail set and carriage. Feminine head with good earset and kind almond shaped eye. Today out of coat, which was a disadvantage for her competing against the males in full coat.
