AV IMPORTED REGISTER BREEDS – TOYS

PD/B (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1 and 2 being siblings and at 11 months still have some maturing to do. At this stage it is difficult to predict in adulthood which will mature to the greatest advantage. 

1st: Berrington’s Anna Pavlova Von Pappersley. Pretty, feminine and squarely built. Attractive head with clean lines and super finish. Correct for length of muzzle and dentition. In super coat, Good ears and enough neck. Fine boned. Eyes sporting dark pigmentation. Came together nicely on the move and gained confidence as the class progressed.  BEST PUPPY

2nd: King’s  Jorah Viserys Sarasha. Obviously, similar comments apply. Very similar in stamp. Perhaps a little more fall away at the croup and not as mature in body. Eventually became more settled on the move.RBD
