9-12 puppy dog

To me, this is always a difficult class. These puppies are usually going thru odd stages of growth and don’t always reflect what they will look like as they get older.
1st. Summit Ironwood Tony Soprano.  Orange brindle parti.  Beautiful head and eye with a good depth of brisket for his age.  Nice rear angles and short hock. Moved out with reach and drive perfectly balanced.

2nd. Fantasias Kokopelli Kopykat.  Black masked fawn.  I liked this puppy and he had a very nice shoulder with proper underline and topline but I could not get a good, solid look at him due to his lack of training. Open side gait but just couldn’t put it together to win the class.  
3rd.  Endeavor’s Free To Go. Red brindle parti.  A larger male, which measured in with no problem.  Very handsome with long neck and good body length. Moved with balance all the way around.
4th. Snow Hill Hot Stuff. Fawn/black brindle parti.  Very big, dark eye and correctly placed shoulders.  Could use a little more width of thigh
12-18 dogs

1st. Surrey Hill’s Golden Boy. Fawn/white.  This was a very handsome, striking dog. Well balanced with nice, gentle curves, beautiful head, neck and eye.  Very nice side gait. This dog spent too much time looking up at his handler but was still an easy win in this class.

2nd  Festiva’s Best Dressed Hottie. Black and White. Very smooth on the go around and a nice shape. Would prefer more bend in pastern.
3rd. Harmony’s Puttin On The Ritz. Fawn brindle and white.  Very striking, masculine dog. Had a tendency to move flat with his head down on the go-round.
4th.  Elida’s Fig Newton—Fawn and White. This placement was made on side gait and the down and back. Very sound dog.
Novice dogs

1st.  Karasar’s Optimist. Red brindle parti. Not very sure of himself but had nice depth of body with a very pretty head and neck.
2nd. Plumcreek HW Midnight Flight. Black brindle parti.  Nice moving dog with a good bend of pastern but needs more ring experience.
3rd. Shaglan Wildaspen Eastr Wabbit. Fawn brindle.  Deep chested, pretty head and eye but again, not sure of himself and hopefully, will get more ring experience.
4th.  Ringdove Avery-Eaton. Black. Pretty, strong neck on this dog with excellent bend of pastern, shown in hard condition.
