Junior Dog
1st Gray’s. Quantas- Napoca Olaf: Showed in opposite way. One and half years old male, whose expression is a bit angry and cold, and scull could be more elegant and head planes more parallel. Is balanced angulated from front and rear but a bit limited on both sides. When viewed from the front, the structure of the front is not ideal and interferes with the whole. Lovely level topline. Moves ok from side and keeps himself well together when moving.

1st Johnston’s. Burnvale Black Diamond: 7 months old very beautiful puppy bitch, who’s structure speaks itself, when she naturally stacks herself to correct position. She creates a lovely silhouette when standing. Lovely a bit over accurate underskirt but now just spot on. Her ring behavior is still very puppy like, but her qualities are undeniably visible. I fell in love to her instantly when she entered the ring.
Can I take her home?
