1 Croft’s Koroyza Viking Voyager. 7 months liver boy, nice for size at this age and just about right for balance. Demonstrates sound, light and free movement, surprising in one so young.

OD (7, 1) A class with quality.
1 Christie’s Ch Sophtspot Gold Dust JW. I admired this liver boy when I saw him at 3 months then when I was able to judge him in 2019, I just didn’t think that he made the most of his super conformation on the move and he had to be content with the Reserve CC, not so today, he was a thrill from the moment he came into the ring, such a pleasure to go over and hard muscled and then when he moved he sent tingles up and down my spine. CC, BOB.
2 Quayle’s Ch Millbelle Kicking Horse At Cuba libre JW. Quite lightly marked, handsome liver dog. Correct skull and muzzle proportions, super eye and expression, well-marked ears.
