1st - Ravenside Rasputin (Mr M Lowry)

A very promising 10 month old puppy who filled my eye. He provided a very balanced picture with flowing lines. Presented very well. Lovely head proportions for one so young, and a keen, dark eye that afforded him a super expression.Short strong muzzle and correct bite. Narrow throughout, good length to his body and rib carried well back. Easily spanned. Well off for angulation front and rear. Good bone and stood on the neatest feet. He sported a thick double coat and a deep pelt. Level topline which he held on the move and he moved out well coming and going. He handled himself with confidence and showed very well for his handler.  Best In Show, Best Puppy InShow.
