Limit Dog (2/2) 

This was a difficult decision between these 2 dogs. Both were creams in beautifully presented coats & both were in lovely body condition. Both are correct shape & size, with good angulation either end and well set & carried tails. Both were free moving. Both dogs had good heads with correct eyes & bites.  I just preferred the head & expression of the winner, but I was splitting hairs between them.
