YD (3)

1 Pearce & Ward’s Absolute Star, black who certainly lives up to his name, never switched off once on his toes, plenty of substance, very good blend of bull & terrier, cracking head shape, good short coupled, level topline, correct dentition, bend of stifle. Just needs to settle on the move. Could go all the way. RCC;

1 Asker’s Colliermans Lionheart at Dazmarnil, red, bang in the Standard & in very good condition, looks the part when standing & on the move, lovely backend, muscular body, good front, level topline. Could have moved better but still a type of dog who I like & would take home;
