1st Webb's RAINSTER ENDEAVOUR TO INKLEYBOYS (RBD)

8 month old well presented brindle puppy well boned, with pleasing head neat ears and good length of neck leading to well laid shoulders. Good length of rib cage and depth of chest and well angulated hind quarters. A promising puppy. Moved soundly.

2nd Guntrip's BRACHAN GIORNO DI NATALE

7 month old brindle still very much a baby but a lot to like, well balanced with lovely head gentle expression with neat ears. Good length of neck and nice depth of chest, moved well He was not at all phased by the occasion, I look forward to seeing him progress.

3rd Redfern's RAINSTER EXPLORER

8 month old red lovely head with neat ears. Good depth of chest. Well boned. Going through a growth phase, which is all height and detracts from his overall length. He needs time to settle into his huge frame. Movement appeared to be unbalanced due to the amount of growth. Will take some time to reach his full potential.

Res Donaldson & Smallwood's RAINSTER EWAN

8 month old brother to previous very similar in appearance. Again, grown very tall and will take time to fill his frame. Deep chest well boned, but needs time to lengthen over the loin and settle as he matures. Like his brother his movement a little unbalanced. I look forward to seeing them as they mature but they have a long way to go.

1st Crosse's RAINSTER EVIE

Very promising 8 month old well boned brindle puppy, lovely head dark eyes and neat ears. Nice length of neck with good forechest, and depth of chest. A lot to like. Moved well.

Another 8 month old puppy Well boned, with pleasing head and neat ears. Nice length of neck and depth of chest, good tuck up. Still very much a baby. Two very promising puppies for the future .
