1st Cinders, A bouncy merle girl who would benefit from carrying a little more weight at this stage. Parallel head planes, pretty eyes. Nice forelegs with adequate bone. She needs to tighten in front a little. Holds a good topline and moves steadily with parallel hocks. Only 8 months old and has plenty of time to develop slowly, Happy to award her Best Puppy in Breed
SPY class 2 entered 1 absent
1st Rumba Almost 18 months old girl. Nicely made front and rear with good angulation and topline. Clean eyes and good head planes with ears set well and held alertly. The white part of the coat glistens. Moved smartly with enthusiasm. Awarded her Reserve Best of Breed

Special Yearling class
1st Corben’s Crownbred Butterflywings via Caprioara
Blue Merle bitch coming up to two years old. Pleasing shape when stood in profile. Feminine head, nicely tapering with a flat skull. Lovely kind and alert dark eyes. Clean neck of good length, enough depth to the brisket, limbs show moderate bone. Nice spring of rib, and holding a firm level topline, would like a fraction more weight on her. Her Hindquarters are well angulated. Moved with lovely drive on her side gait, just a little loose in her front action. Well handled.

A heavier set 2-year-old tri boy. Hi head is masculine with a kind expression, a little broader in back skull but well-proportioned and creating the desired blunt wedge. Powerful and muscular neck, good depth to the brisket and well developed in the fore chest. Well boned limbs, fleet a little flat. Strong and muscular hindquarters. Super drive on the move and good width behind. A little untidy in front
