MINOR PUPPY DOG (3/3)

OPEN DOG (7/5) 

This class proved to have my most challenging decision of the day. 
1st: O’Brien JUN CH GALLANTIB'S OSLO (IKC) 1 & 2 were very similar in breed type. Both have very good body construction with good tail set & carriage. Both have correct feet. Both were in excellent coat of correct texture. Both moved very soundly and were stylish both standing and moving, both were sound & free moving. Both had correct heads with lovely eyes, well placed ears and correct bites. Both have defined chins and good width of muzzle. They both have good head carriage. I was splitting hairs between them, and I just preferred the top of head on my winner, but both are quality dogs with great futures. I was informed later that they were half brothers. CC & BOB
