Head well furnished, legs well presented and groomed. Very sound mover with reach and drive. 2 Mcconnells’ Holbam Shamrock Connie very pretty puppy too just 2 weeks older than my winner and so similar although she was having fun today. Unfortunately on the stance it was obvious that she dipped in her backline. Very well shaped pretty head, nice long and lean, correct skull but ears set too high on her head, but this might change as the head breaks. Sweet expressive small dark eyes, black lips and nose. Good neck shape and length but had been heavily stripped I felt her whole body coat was too stripped out. Whole colour coat of red, was somewhat soft. Head furnishings and legs coating was crisp and presented and shaped. Small feet and clean pads. Once settled this puppy was a nice mover and sound both coming and going. 1 Thomas’ Sunnystone Bright Light For Montelle very stylish and well-built to the standard this 11 months had a fabulous outline on the stance holding her top line firm, and covering the ground well.
