Excellent topline held on the move, well bent stifles, breadth through hips and low hocks. Absolutely sound from all directions, she is young and has a lot more maturing to do, but there is so much to like about her. Challenged hard for the top honours, a little less mature than my Best Bitch and she came up against the super Best Dog to challenge for Reserve BIS, which I was delighted to award her. So promising.
