| A very pleasing class but
one still stood out - 1st Bates' Gunthwaite Diamond Lil, what a stunner could hardly take my eyes off her, most attractive bitch puppy with excellent construction and star quality, long powerful well balanced feminine head at such an early age she has an attitude and expression to die for, strong neck, great outline deep chest very well developed in her body very powerful broad thighs and well developed hindquarters, excellent ridge, moved very efficiently and soundly from all angles when she put her mind to it, definitely a star in the making, still needs to grow half an inch on her legs but if or when she does she will be extremely hard to beat she was close to going all the way today.
