I would like to thank the exhibitors for a quality entry which made many of my decisions very close. I was looking for a small, dainty, lively dog moving well and freely. My only disappointment was the very distinctive look of astonishment was missing from some of the exhibits which is the special trait of the breed. 

PD (5, 1) 1 Gillhespy & Van Baaren Grob’s Chinart Akerrn. Beautiful size moved out steadily in excellent coat good head with large dark eyes, short, compact with level topline and well bodied. Best Puppy. 2 Leach’s Omikudzi Kamelot. Liked this boy a lot too, it was a close decision he had all the chin characteristics, younger than first so had to give way to the finished picture but I am sure his day will come.
