high quality bitches, nice body construction good balance and an easy stride

OB (11) I found this class the most difficult to judge, the bitches I
really liked didn’t move well and the ones that did move, weren’t quite my
cup of tea!
1st and RCC and RBIS CH VELDTKAMMER LADY DONE A BUNK, I
liked her as a puppy in 2003 and what a beauty she has matured into, her
praises have been sung by many, she is a real showgirl and a superb mover,
seemed a bit lethargic due to the heat I expect.
2nd IR.CH.WALAMADENGIE LADY ELEGANCE, I just loved her
shape, she is just the right size, and so well made, nice head, long neck,
good angulation strong hindquarters, unfortunately her front movement let
her down today.
