National working champ show critique

MPD Moore miss C Wisewyn All the time in the world imp placed 1^st

6-month-old Pleasing outline with sufficient length of body. Sweet head and expression. Well-shaped and rounded foreface. Nicely carried neck, nice side gate, still a little narrow coming and going, promising coat and colour. His nice balance and outline gave him the class.

YB 2^nd Moore Miss C Omordha Lucky Charm. More up to size and somewhat shorter in body than the first. Feminine head of sufficient length and well-shaped eyes and nice expression but would have liked a bit more defined stop. Well placed ears but one ear a bit too erect I would also have liked to have seen a bit stronger underjaw. Well-constructed body and angulation but still a bit narrow in body. Nice side gate narrow coming and going. Very good quality coat
