1st: 4733 DONALD, Mrs Fiona Lourdace Last Hurrah to Lochansvue. At 6months ,obviously a baby, so appears a little leggy ,which he should do at this stage, for a male ,or he would have nowhere to go . He has all the attributes needed to grow into and is so well constructed ,therefore footfall is just right .I feel he should come on to finish a smart dog. 
2nd: 4734 DONOVAN, mrs Jane Yvette TIGHNABO SGALPAIGH.8 month and a touch tied in front right now. He has the roundness of skull to afford brain room without being coarse, correct balance of stop to muzzle and neat flews. Strength in topline .He was nicely presented and handled.
