MITTEL PD. (2). 1. Hills’, Sobriety Hot Chocolate. Superbly presented 7 months old top size dog who exudes type and quality. Balanced wedge head with dark eyes slightly almond than oval and correct ear carriage. Good neck and shoulders with firm topline and high set tail. Moderate pigment. Moved so well for one so young. BPD, BPIB and BD. 2. Beard’s, Wyndlee Huggy Bear. Smaller brown who also exudes type and is very sound. Balanced wedge head with dark eyes and high set ears giving a most appealing expression. Not quite with coat of winner but well off for bone and movement brisk on good legs and feet.
