BEST OF BREED AND BEST PUPPY IN BREED DENZILLY TOOT SWEET OWNED BY JL AND GJ DOWDY

Junior Dog or Bitch 4 (2) 1st, BP, BOB Dowdy’s Denzilly Toot Sweet: Pretty 9 month old bitch, mature for her age. Feminine head with dark eye and lovely bite. Ears set and carried well.  Coat is soft and of good colour and holds promise for the future, as it matures. Pleasing body proportions; height to length. Well sprung ribs and good depth of chest. Level topline, which is held well on the move. Tail well-set and carriage is good. Moving nicely from all angles for such a youngster. Would hope she will not grow on much more. Definitely one to watch. 2nd Webster’s Kazeen Too Bright To Bovver: Another youngster at just 12 months, needs time to mature. Good size. Beautiful soft, honey-coloured coat, beginning to acquire the correct curl. Good bite. Exuberance made his movement rather difficult to assess! Preferred the body proportions of 1.  Postgraduate Dog or Bitch 3 (3) Open Dog 1 (1) Open Bitch 3 (1) 1st Webster’s Kazeen Too Hot to Rock: Compact and feminine bitch with a good soft coat of pleasing colour and wave. Neat head with well-set ears. Dark eye. Good bite. Well bodied and short-coupled with a sound topline and well-set tail. Preferred the movement of the BOB in the challenge. 2nd Mason’s Emalot Jean Genie: Another nice bitch, a little larger than 1 throughout. Good coat but just a little crisp along the back. Nice head with well-set ears. Sound bite. Dark eye. Well bodied and good topline. Preferred the shoulder placement of 1. On the stack had a tendency to turn front feet out a little.
