"A clear winner, such a beautiful pale golden youngster, free standing and wagging her tail, so very well balanced both standing and on the move, fills the eye.  Gorgeous head and melting expression, superb neck and shoulder layback, so well angulated front and rear, well presented and at one with her handler, moved accurately, effortlessly and freely.  One from the top drawer with that undefinable something special, completely stunning and with maturity I predict great things for this one, a worthy successor to her veteran kennel mate, just loved her."
