PD 1. Oxley’s Dinkydax Buttons. Well bodied, 9 month old, balanced in the head with broad well placed ears and dark eyes set in an immature head. He has a muscular neck of ample length. Level in topline and short and strong in loin. He just needs time to muscle up.

LD 1. Renton’s Portalutra Making Ice At Dukidachs, 2 year old b/t who has a good length to his head which gently tapers to his black nose, his eyes are dark and well set in a moderately broad skull. He carries his head on a good reach of neck which is set into well placed shoulders and well constructed forequarters coupled with good rear angulation allows him to drive around the ring covering the ground with ease. I was pleased to later award him Best Dog and BOB.
